Bellavita

Bellavita: Spend your summer vacation in this one-of-a-kind Lake Michigan cottage in Manistee. The home, being intentionally built as a generational home, will give you the privacy and space you desire while being together as a family under one roof. The home boasts 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3 kitchens.

Please note this property has a seven-night minimum stay, Saturday-Saturday.

INSIDE THE COTTAGE
When you walk into the home, you will enter on the main floor, and into the dining room, kitchen, and living area. A Queen bedroom and full bathroom are located off the main living area. A sitting room, with television, games, and books provides a walk-thru to the second bedroom, which includes both a Queen and Full bed with an adjoining bath and loft area. The loft features both a Full and Twin bed.
Floor two includes a second full kitchen, dining and living area with a pull-out Full sofa sleeper, and a private balcony accessible from both the kitchen and the outside. A bedroom with a Queen bed and two full bathrooms, one with a separate shower room and laundry facilities make it perfect for a second family.

Floor three is set up as a studio apartment with a third kitchen, living area with Full pull-out sofa sleeper, and full bath with shower/tub combo. A second laundry room is located on the 3rd floor.

Additional amenities include central air conditioning, secure wifi, and a pack n’ play.

OUTDOOR SPACE
Enjoy the sunset from any of the amazing decks, including a completely separate wooden look-out over Lake Michigan. An original lake-side “boathouse” is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning by yourself or maybe even some yoga-open the windows and let the breeze blow through. Spend the day building sandcastles on the beach and splashing in Lake Michigan, or exploring the creek that runs alongside the home and into the lake.

You will have plenty of space to park and play in the additional grassy lot to the right of the home.

REVIEWS
“One of a kind. Beautiful home location beach and yard. We loved everything about it. 8 minute drive to fishing charter, 10 minutes to town and maybe 15 to meijer. The beach was so perfect and right in backyard. Easy to get to and from even with wee ones aged 3, 1 1/2, and 6 months. 3 kitchens and house layout is perfect. Thank you!”

“Enjoyed our week rental very much! Communication was good and clear. Easy access to the house and house was just as described with many of the needed necessities provided.. The house worked well for our family of 12 and had plenty of space for grandkids to sleep with cousins. It was on a beautiful lot over looking Lake Michigan with amazing views during the day and for sunsets too. We were thrilled to share the week and make more memories!”

“We really enjoyed our stay. The 3 separate floors with bedrooms and kitchens on each level worked out perfect for our multi-family vacation! The beach was also great.”
