What guests think
Travellers describe Northern Michigan Retreat for all seasons as a clean, comfortable, and quiet country home with spacious rooms, a large yard, and on-site trails, offering a peaceful base that feels secluded yet convenient to Lake Michigan and nearby towns.
Guests frequently praise the friendly, responsive hosts and straightforward check-in. The home is older and simple rather than stylish, and a few reviews mention isolated issues such as strong air fresheners, limited kitchen extras, or a wasp nest outside. Expect a straightforward, family-friendly base for exploring the area.

Very nice place. It was nothing fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. And the property was beautiful. A peaceful retreat in the middle of nowhere, yet so close to everything. We loved the location... so close to Lake Michigan. And we enjoyed visiting Tippy Dam, too.The horseshoes in the back yard were a hit. The central a/c was great in the hot, humid weather. Having 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was great. And the dining room had a large table that fit all of us comfortably. The hosts were very friendly and quick to respond. We'll be back!

A much-needed, quiet getaway. Simple, clean house, on a quiet road. I love that it gets me mostly off the internet, but there is some satellite TV if I want some technology. Also fun to see new horseshoe pits for the summer. Paula is a great host. Again. And I bet I'll come back!

My husband and I stayed here with our 5 kids and were very impressed with all the personal details the property owner included. There was a note to us with some candy and the kids really loved all the outdoor toys and inside things (like the chalkboard) that were geared toward them. We tubed down the Platte River out of Honor and then explored Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was a great proximity to those attractions. We would definitely stay here again.

We love staying at Paula's Northern Michigan Retreat! Paula is very responsive no matter how or when we contact her - her support and help is invaluable. The home setting is beautiful, with abundant wildlife and lovely property with trails to walk. The home is clean and well stocked with sheets, blankets, towels, paper towel, TP, kleenex, etc. The beds are comfortable. The addition of WiFi made it easier for our folks who still have to sometimes work. Love the available garage to hide our vehicles from spring snow & ice! We'll be back!

We had a great time snowboarding durning the day and then coming back to the warm and clean house to Cook and enjoy each others company. We walked several of the trails on on property and enjoyed the natural beauty of the Manistee area.

We have stayed here several times and find it to be perfect for us. It’s always clean, comfortable,and well supplied with everything you need. It was very hot and humid when we were there this time and we really appreciated the central air. I really can’t think of anything negative about this place. We have already booked another stay.

We were a bit disappointed at first glance as the place is not ascetically special at all. But we adjusted to lower expectations for what we saw and enjoyed our time. The place was clean. Kitchen was functional but the amneties of the kitchen left something to be desired. All kitchen supplies looked like things gathered from Goodwill. Maybe petty, but having a Kuerig for single coffee drinker would have been a plus and so would a corkscrew for an evening glass of wine. No Wi-fi was a drag leaving only a basic Direct TV package as entertainment option in the evenings.We enjoyed our walks into the back lot with paths to explore. The place was quiet, which we definitely appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as a silence and solitude experience without all the bells and whistles.

The property was clean but very dated. The price was right and it was very quiet. However when we arrived, we found 5 plug in air fresheners plugged in, that made the house almost unbearable. I unplugged all of them and by the next morning all was well. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Nice location in the middle of wine country.

We had a great stay inside the house. Didn’t enjoy the outside much other than cooking on the grill due to a football sized wasp nest under the deck right where the patio table was. Other than that all the amenities were provided.

We loved our weekend here and would recommend this place to anyone who seeks nature and solitude.

My husband and I stayed here with our 5 kids and were very impressed with all the personal details the property owner included. There was a note to us with some candy and the kids really loved all the outdoor toys and inside things (like the chalkboard) that were geared toward them. We tubed down the Platte River out of Honor and then explored Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was a great proximity to those attractions. We would definitely stay here again.

The kitchen had everything we needed. The attached garage is a huge plus in inclement weather (and we had a lot of it). The home is nice & clean with plenty of towels, bed sheets, and consumables like paper towel.
