Interesting corner porch on this beauty...this is the backside! Fronts are facing Lake Michigan...spectacular views!!!!
All the yards are to be kept in their natural state...I love it...the tall grasses blowing in the wind...
The cottages...quaint and coastal...I could move right in!...








A wonderful fall ride to Manistee, Michigan...xoxo~Kathy

    Pretty pictures. Jeff and I went to Manistee last summer. We took the river walk out to the lake and back. Very pretty. Seeing the homes from that view was really wonderful. We also did a little shopping. Thanks for the memories.

    Beautiful homes and I do love the tall grass, but that's new to me. I've never seen it before. Wonder if they have a problem with snakes??

    Hi Kathy,
    It's me again. I just saw the picture of your hubby on your sidebar and read what he said about the song playing.....soooooo cute. As Darla from The Little Rascals would say...."How romantical!" I love it. Blessings to the both of you.

    Hugs,
    ♥Ana

    Kathy, those are gorgeous homes and you are a fabulous photographer...but I wouldn't trade my home for any other home...because I know our home is a happy home and I don't know if the people in those are happy, know what I mean?

    Have a blessed rest of the week...Betty

    Oh how beautiful....I could live in ANY of these homes...I've never been to Nantucket, but it sort of has that look, don't you think? Ok, maybe not...but in my little mind it does...

    Hugs,

    Hi Kathy, I love your site and the beautiful pictures. The Cottages are so nice -- where are they ? I'm ready to move !!! I have heard of the Cottage in Florida and wondered if they were similar ?
    Your camera and photo skills are great !
