Ski Weekend

Perfect location for our annual cousins ski weekend. Easy access to Crystal Mountain and Caberfae. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and there was more then enough space so we didn't feel like we were in top of eachother. The kids really enjoyed the hot tub and playing in all the snow. Only recommendation is if you are visiting in the winter bring slippers as the tile floors get chilly.

Amazing stay!!

The house was very very clean. Everything was so organized. The owners provided all the essentials of home. We loved sitting on the screened in porch in the morning having our coffee. The beds were cozy and it was nice eating as a family at the large kitchen table. Loved having the hot tub to relax in the evening.

Functional for family or group!

Easy rental and good for family or group. We didn’t have much snow but can see how this location would be great for fishing trip or snowmobile base camp! We used it as a middleground between Caberfae and Crystal mountain for day trips and it was perfect for that location as well.

Everything we needed

The house was great. Plenty of room for all of us. The location served us well due to our charter trip out of manistee. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the outdoor space. Played a lot of games at the dining table. Kitchen well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Lots of closets and storage if I had to say one negative it would be better pillows. But thats a personal thing. astoraaccommodate everything.

Very nice home!

The home was very clean. We loved that we could all sit in one room together. There were 7 adults total. Having 2 bathrooms was a must and they were both very nice. All amenities we needed were at the home and a DG store very close to get anything we wanted. Sitting outside or on the enclosed screen porch was very peaceful. The hot tub is huge and very clean! Most of all, the owner responded very quickly to any questions and was very friendly. If we are ever in the area again, we will look for this home first!

Very Clean!

This place was very clean! We definitely will be returning to stay here. The house is a nice size, kitchen was big so we didn't feel crowded as we were cooking, enough space for all of us to hang together in the living room. The Hot tub was very clean. Not all the Jets worked and not a lot of water pressure, but it was nice to sit in after a long day on the trails.

ATV getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for parking with having trucks and trailers for our ATV's. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed. The hot tub was very nice for relaxing after a day of riding. Having 2 full baths was very nice and the 2 refrigerators came in handy too. Quiet neighborhood and the hosts were very quick to respond with any questions. The beach area was close by with a small playground there. Dublin General Store was only about 3 minutes from the house which we visited often. Lots to see and do in the area.

Super comfortable!

The kitchen is AMAZINGLY well equipped including every spice you can imagine. The two refrigerators made keeping items separate for two families. All bedrooms are clean with lots of options for clothes storage. All seating, with the exception of dining room chairs are extremely comfortable and just sucked us in! The 55 Meat Market has one of the best, most compressive, and most reasonably priced meat case I’ve ever seen. A must see is the Dublin General store for almost everything including a dozen or more types of homemade jerky. (I recommend the kangaroo and the Honey Mustard.) The variety of outdoor entertainment options in the area is amazing and kept our 10 year old quite busy! The old folks (us) took a day trip to travel the Mackinac Bridge.

About the host

Hosted by Dennis Giffels 231-233-6529

Host profile image
The little town Wellston is actually my hometown. I graduated from Brethren High School, and grew up fishing every fishing hole, and bicycling all over The Wellston Dublin area, skiing and snowmobiling (of course). After a couple of decades in environmental drilling, I moved on to get my contractor's license and real estate license, and have spent the last 13 years learning more about creating an amazing vacation rental than I ever thought I would know. I pride myself on offering a vacation home where guests are even more impressed when they arrive than when they see the listing online. I also know how important it is for families to have a space to share and be comfortable in. When I find myself saying, 'you know, it would be great to have...', I start working on making it happen for my customers.

Why they chose this property

Wellston is such a hidden treasure. And this home is right in the middle of all of it. There's a new playground just a couple of blocks away at Crystal Lake. The beautiful beach at Crystal Lake is 3 blocks away. Fishing within walking distance. And we've all watched the Dublin store transform into the local phenomenon it is, with it's famous Dublin Jerky. Out on the main drag, there is the White Tail Party Store, M-55 Market (great steaks!!!), The Cozy Kitchen, Redneck Yacht Club, Pappy's and the Dublin General store which is just a few miles away has great jerky & fudge. Keep on going to Irons, and you'll run into the Oak Grove Tavern and Brooks Corner

What makes this property unique

The 6 person Hot Tub & Gazebo has been completed and is ready for your enjoyment!! Plus LCD TV's in every bedroom. We also have installed 2 beautiful electric fireplaces, one in the living area & one in a bedroom. We already have A/C, WiFi, big screen plasma TV in the living room and a fabulous kitchen set-up. Little extras matter - supplies well stocked.. That's why I try to make sure you have starters of all the extras many other places don't provide - hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, starter paper products, trash bags, plenty of outdoor seating. Suggestions for extra amenities welcome!
