Things To Do

Manistee Riverwalk

A must do and staple of Manistee life! Enjoy a nice stroll down the channel connecting Lake Michigan and Manistee Lake. There are several access points to downtown as well!

Downtown Manistee

A quintessential summer in northern Michigan must do! Check out our cute, quaint Victorian downtown Manistee! Home to many shops we love such as : The Outpost, Snyder's Shoes, TJs Pub, The Beverage Company, Ideal Kitchen, Cherry Republic, Wellnested, Goodies, Gliks, Northern Spice Company, and more!

Manistee North Pier Lighthouse

Walk the Manistee Pier and watch the sunset from our beautiful lighthouse.

North Channel Brewing Co.

Our first brewery! This opened a few years ago and has been a great spot near the river to grab a beer! The brewery renovated an old historic building that sat empty for many years and honored the old business by naming the brewery after them.

Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area

Check out these famous dunes for a fun outdoor adventure day. A great spot for families or a romantic getaway! Hike 2 miles to the Big Sable Lighthouse for a perfect day.

The Glenwood

Great food and company at this fine dining in northern Michigan! Stop at some nice shops around this cute little town about 20-30 minutes from Manistee.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Cherry Republic | Traverse City

The Cherry Capitol of the world! For all the cherry lovers, get your pies, sauces, jams, and everything cherry you can think of! There is a Cherry Republic Store in Downtown Manistee. Traverse City is about an hour and a half from our venue. But a great stop for those looking for bigger city amenities and a beautiful location on the lake.

Traverse City Wine & Beer Tours

Spend the day exploring the wineries of northern Michigan. The Grand Traverse Riesling at Chateau Grand Traverse is delicious!

Fishtown in Leland

For those looking to explore the area, Fishtown in Leland is a historic harbor and a cute place for shopping, local handmade art, and of course fish! Try the Chubby Bloody Mary at The Cove for a funky fish cocktail.

Mackinac Island

Take a ferry with the family to Mackinac Island! For all the fudge lovers out there, this is a must!

Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club

Golfing may be booked but this is a great place to grab a drink on the patio for Lake Michigan views. They also recently added a new restaurant to their south course location across the street for those looking for a nice place to grab dinner. Arcadia is 30-40 minutes from Manistee.
