WHY LATE SUMMER IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK YOUR GETAWAY

Fewer Crowds, More Tranquility:
Once Labor Day passes, the energy shifts in Manistee. The beaches, trails, and scenic spots are quieter, giving you space to truly unwind. You’ll still enjoy warm days, breezy evenings, and sunshine on the water—but with more room to roam and less wait at your favorite local restaurants and shops.

LATE SUMMER TRIPS DESIGNED FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS.

PERFECT WEATHER

Late August and early-to-mid September often bring ideal vacation weather. Temperatures hover in the mid-70s during the day—perfect for hiking, kayaking, or lounging by the beach—and cooler evenings make for cozy nights around a fire pit.

LOWER RATES AFTER LABOR DAY

Here’s a secret savvy travelers love: vacation rental rates often drop after Labor Day. That means you can book the same beautiful rental at a better price while enjoying the best of the season. It’s the ultimate win-win.

Boardwalk Vacation Rentals offers 75+ properties, ranging from first-floor condos to spacious lakefront homes.
