The building was originally Manistee National Bank. The recently renovated apartment is where the Bank offices were originally located. It sits on the Manistee River Walk. The building is centrally located in the downtown Historic District, steps away from local shopping, dining, and entertainment. The deck provides beautiful views of the river where you will see sailboats and charter fishing boats pass by. You may even see a Great Lakes Freighter navigate the river channel. The River Walk makes for a nice stroll down to Lake Michigan.
The renovated apartment is 1500 sq ft, has original hardwood floors and exposed brick walls, 11' ceilings, tons of natural lighting, and a beautiful back deck that overlooks the Manistee River. There are stairs leading up to the apartment from the street (pictured). The rear access is via a spiral staircase (pictured) on the patio that leads down to the lower levels of the building. There is one parking space located behind the building for your use.
- "Thank you, Barry for a great stay!" - "A great view from the deck. Watched a ship come in and leave. Location is great - right downtown by shops and restaurants. There are a lot of steps to climb." - "Everything you need in a place to stay in Manistee is here." - "Property was clean and tastefully decorated W e were within walking distance to everything in the downtown area. We got to see the Manitowoc (Lower lake freighter) come up the river channel at night and leave early the next morning while have a cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the river. This property was simply superb in every way. Thank-you Barry for your hospitality!"

"The Place" is located in one of the old brick buildings in downtown Manistee between the theater and the pub. It's across the street from the scenic Riverwalk, less than 1 mile from beautiful Lake Michigan and footsteps away from restaurants and shops. Built in 1882, "The Place" has retained the hardwood floors and 11' ceilings. The 1400 sq. ft. of comfy living space is a great place to relax after a day at the lake, hiking in the Manistee Nat'l Forest, or skiing at Crystal Mountain, or golfing at Manistee or Arcadia Bluffs
- "This is I believe the 4th or 5th time we have stayed at this property and hope to continue to make it our annual family vacation" - "We returned for a second stay at The Place - we really enjoyed it. Love being right in the middle of everything." - "All the amenities for the weather, for a beach you could want. Umbrellas, beach chairs. Great location. We only had a minor issue but host was very responsive. I would bring a sleep mask though- which I always do when I travel. The back 2 bedrooms are very bright in the AM. Lovely apartment and Manistee is such a great destination!"

If you are looking for a great place for 3-4 people this is your place in peaceful and quiet downtown Manistee." - "The location was perfect! My husband and I are retirees and we loved being able to walk to the shops and restaurants just down the street. The property was nicely furnished and quiet. The stairs are steep to the second-floor apartment, but we knew that from the information provided. One suggestion is that the apartment could use additional silverware.

A comfy, light and airy apartment within walking distance to our Historic Downtown and The Ramsdell Theater!

There is a massage therapist on the first floor, so especially when you arrive and are in the stairway, please be mindful of noise so we can be considerate of each other. We will place a sign so you are aware if a massage is taking place. Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
- "This was my first stay at this apartment in Manistee, but I have visited Manistee multiple times; Monica's apartment did not disappoint. Plus, Monica was easy to communicate with. The photographs of the apartment are accurate. In addition, the apartment is located so close to everything that my husband and I were able to walk to places we wanted to go in town. Parking was not an issue since the apartment has its own parking area. The apartment itself had everything I needed; moreover, it was clean and stylish. I cannot wait to return to Manistee in October and stay at Monica's apartment again."

Wish the kitchen was better stocked in cookware or at least that I’d known what I should bring. There are only a Few small pots and pans. And internet was weak. Pros: very neat balcony. Open space was awesome. Met the owners by chance and they were very sweet and helpful. Beds were pretty decent too. Beaches in the area are the best around in my opinion and not far at all.
