Great Location
We had 3 days of salmon fishing scheduled on a chartered boat in Manistee, MI and wanted a house that could sleep at least 10 and was close to the boat. This house fit both needs. The house was only 10 minutes from the boat Manistee and easily slept our gang. As the house was also on a lake and just across the street from Lake Michigan, it gave those who were not salmon fishing something else to do.

Best rental we've ever had
The house was extremely nice, spacious, and had much of what we needed. Not too much as far as clean up at the end which we appreciated. Just a short walk from the beach and the entire back yard was wonderful for the kids. We would definitely come back here again!

2nd visit was just as good as the first!
We had an incredible week at the Bar Lake/Lake Michigan house! This was our second stay at this property and the house and hosts did not disappoint! This is truly the best of both worlds in the lake house experience. We so appreciate the Platt’s for making this property available and affordable. Can’t wait for next year!!

The Best Place I've Rented, EVER!
This is a lovely property. Not only are the views awesome but this place is comfortable. It was clean and well stocked. The owners made sure there were plenty of toiletries and kitchen/laundry supplies. I was very impressed and I am a very picky person.

Great Location
Property is exactly as described. Communication was accurate and very timely. Plenty of space to spread out. Fire pit along the lake was very private. Spent some time fishing for panfish off the dock. Lake Michigan beach area just down the road. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need. Close to town yet private and quiet.

Fantastic home with wonderful water views
This was a lovely home with a beautiful sunrise lake view out the back and a short walk across the street to Lake Michigan with a sandy beach and sunset views. We enjoyed the kayaks. The home was beautiful inside and out with plenty of space. We would highly recommend. 10 out of 10!

Sibling week
What a lovely home in which to enjoy 5 days with our family, who’s spread out across our country! The weather was more wet & chilly than we’d have liked, but the house provided a cozy setting for our gathering!! The host communicated well with us when we had questions & we’d love to stay here again!!

Spring trip in Manistee
We had 3 families that traveled together of all ages that checked in from Sunday afternoon to Wednesday morning. We had gotten there about thirty minutes early and was able to meet the owners as they were finishing things up for our arrival. They were very welcoming and showed us around the area On their property as well as across the street with telling us about the access to get to lake Michigan. They were very friendly and made us feel at home. The kids had a great time fishing, playing in the sand and jumping the waves and picking up rocks along the shoreline.The bonfire down by the lake was perfect. The owners hospitality of having a few stapled items and pastries for us was very sweet and appreciated. The home was so welcoming and just perfect for our family for a couples of days to get away. We are already talking about coming back again next year.

5 Star Manistee Lake House
What an incredible property! We stayed for 7 days with our 3 adult children, their spouses and grandkids. 7 adults and 4 children all together. There was so much room with the multiple living spaces inside and out, that we actually still liked each other when the week was over. We used the Kayaks, paddle boat and paddle board daily. Spent mornings in the hot tub watching the sunrise over Bar Lake. We swam in Lake Michigan and watched sunsets across the street. The views from the Great Room are awesome! The owners have thought of everything here and are quick to respond to questions. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Two Lakes Gem
We LOVED our stay! The home was perfect for our two family group. The homeowner is incredible, kind, and willing to assist in any way. Not to give away our secret, but if you’re looking for a snowy getaway this is the place! You’re across the street from Lake Michigan via an accessible path and have panoramic views of an inland lake the in the back. A dip in the hot tub while snow is falling is magical. We played games by the fire and even braved a trip into town to check out the cute shops. The house is large enough for a big group but still maintains a cozy feel. The house is stocked with towels, shampoo, a fully equipped kitchen, and a grill. The bunk bed room is small with no window, but had the most comfortable mattresses and honestly made for a perfect sleeping environment. With all of the negativity that can happen with rentals this one is a rare gem that will make you want to keep coming back thanks to the thoughtfulness of the owners!
