Experience a fantastic and unforgettable family getaway when you book a stay at this historical home right in the heart of Manistee! You'll be just over a half-mile from the historic downtown shops and restaurants. Manistee is appropriately known as the Victorian Port City, and this elegant Victorian home in the heart of Manistee is part of that rich history. The house was originally built for Robert R. and Harriet (Hattie) Blacker in 1892. Robert Blacker was a successful businessman in shingle production, lumber, railroads, banking, drugs, steamships, and waterworks in the late 1800s. He also served in several political offices, including state legislature, Mayor of Manistee, and Secretary of State.

This historic gem is conveniently located in the heart of Manistee. It is only one mile to Lake Michigan and about a short walk to downtown shopping, restaurants, festivals, and everything Manistee offers. You are near it all! Discover must-visit attractions within a short drive, including Ramsdell Regional Center For The Arts, Manistee Golf & Country Club, Lighthouse Park, Manistee North Pier Lighthouse, Douglas Valley Winery, Little River Casino, Orchard Beach State Park, Sundling Park, Captain John Langland Park, Crystal Mountain, and Caberfae Peaks.

This three-level Victorian retreat has had several updates, including new lighting, refinished original hardwood floors, and a new kitchen island. As you enter, you will discover a welcoming and bright living room with inviting sofas and chairs, a smart TV with streaming and cable services to keep you entertained, and a gas fireplace for wintertime visitors. When mealtime comes, channel your inner chef and surprise your guests with delicious homemade meals prepared in the large kitchen, equipped with all stainless steel appliances and a smart TV for additional entertainment.

When it comes to outdoor living, the home boasts a fenced yard. Two covered front porches with seating offer great spots to unwind and rest. Additional perks include a Ping-Pong table, board games, a firepit, a gas grill, and a washer/dryer.
