Manistee House | unique, mid-century modern cedar house for wonderful vacations

3 Bedroom House in Manistee

Welcome to our GLASS house (designed and built by a notable Chicago architect in the late 1960's). The two storied house is made of cedar with two sides of the place all glass to welcome the sun or to view a perfect sunset on a medium bluff directly on and above Lake Michigan.
guests may use nearby Magoon Creek Beach and Sundling Park Beach, only minutes away. In town, about ten minutes by car, guests may go to First Street Beach and 5th avenue beach, where there are very big, sandy beaches, as well as ice cream, snacks, showers and bathrooms. Golf and kids parks are very near as well.
Two interior decks overlooking the living room. Four exterior decks, including one guest bedroom deck overlooking the lake, while the second bedroom deck overlooks the woods in front. Nice kitchen fridge/dishwasher, stove/oven/vent/disposal plus enough gear to be a gourmet for the evening or breakfast and lunch, which you can enjoy on your enormous deck out back on the lakeside, and hear the wind and the waves.
Sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths (one just for the master bedroom), and all amenities, including washer/dryer and dishwasher.
we have a vintage, mid-century modern fireplace inside with plenty of firewood, and forests everywhere.
We have central air, high speed internet, wifi, smart tv, Sonos Wifi Music System, land line phone service, fire pit outside with plenty of chairs and firewood, gas grill always with an extra tank, swing-set, beach toys, floaties outdoor dining, and child stuff like toys, books, games and cards. we also have five bikes (three for kids, two for adults) a smaller sized, multi-speed tandem, and two electric kid scooters that work. we also have a Level 2 EV charger, in case you need.
one of the tech features of the house is the sonos sound system.
download the free app before you visit, connect to our wifi , start the app when you arrive, and stream pandora and spotify in the house. don’t like the location of the speaker, move it to another room. enjoy!

Summary: Paul and Alena are very thorough, friendly, and interesting people who are sharing their personal vacation home. We have been renting vacation homes for 20 years and this is a perfect example of how and why it has become such a popular arrangement. This is a beautiful and unique property that would first require a rare combination of resources and luck to acquire, then a thorough commitment and ongoing effort to maintain. All we have to do is pay for a few days, follow the house rules, and enjoy it. The hosts have thought of everything we might need. This isn't just another listing with pretty pictures. It's a loved vacation home, offered by the actual owner, and it's better in person than online. There is additional responsibility when staying at a property like this, so if you want a carefree transactional type of vacation there are plenty of those out there. If you want a beautiful 50 year old cedar and glass box that deserves a little more care and focus, and that overlooks Lake Michigan, then I fully recommend this.
