Wellston, Michigan is sheltered deep within the Heart of the Manistee National Forest, on the NW side of Lower Michigan. Enjoy the best of nature. Wellston is the place for outdoor activities because it's in the midst of nature’s year round playground, offering activities such as biking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, hunting, morel mushroom hunting, skiing, swimming, snowmobiling, and so much more. The fall Salmon run is amazing, plus Wellston is just minutes from the Little River Casino.

Just a few miles to the Dublin General Store with over 50 varieties of world-famous jerky. Less than 10 minutes to Tippy Dam and less than 10 minutes to the backwaters! And just a couple minutes to Fishermen’s Headquarters, Pappy's Bait & Tackle shop. Close to Irons - Oak Grove Tavern & Brooks Corner.

About the host
Hosted by Dennis Giffels 231-233-6529
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!
