About this property

3 Bed Cozy Cabin Near Trails, Tippy Dam, Manistee River, Casino.

Small but Cozy three bedroom one bathroom cabin sleeps 7. Cabin features knotty pine and rustic décor. Perfect place for your next hunting, fishing, or snowmobile/Ski getaway! Linens are provided and plenty of towels are available.
Bedroom one and two both have comfortable queen log beds, the third bedroom features a twin log bed. Sleep an additional two on the queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Electric fireplace in living room for a cozy up north experience. We have added a Window A/C Unit and each bedroom has a pedestal fan. One Bedroom also has a Television.

High Speed Internet (Wi-Fi) with Cable Package

Fire-pit located on rear side of property with table seating. Propane Grill on porch near front door. Wonderful market in walking distance to pick up everything you need for a great BBQ! Window Air Conditioner is newly installed as well as a privacy fence in the back yard for increased privacy at fire pit/BBQ area.

NOTICE!!: Home is located off of M-55 (Caberfae Hwy). While it is set back from the road, it does front on a highway. Wellston IS a small town with a decent amount of normal traffic but summers and holiday weekends do get busy. There is also a "road" behind the property that is a seasonal trail that is not county maintained. Infrequently traveled except for holiday weekends. No Refunds will be given due to it's location on the highway as it is clearly disclosed in this listing.
Home is centrally located in Wellston, Mi. Right down the road from the Tippy Dam / Tippy Backwaters, Big Manistee River, and the Pine River. Large adjacent parking lot for snowmobile staging! Ride snowmobiles directly to trail from the cabin!!

Close to Manistee, Cadillac, and Traverse City for shopping. Crystal Mountain Ski Resort/ Caberfae Peaks. Crystal Mountain Resort also has a very nice spa! Visit Sand Lake for nice clean swimming, stop by the Dublin General Store for some of their famous Jerky, kayak or float the river, or have a nice BBQ! Check us out!!

FAMILY

This property fit our needs perfectly. My 82-year-old mother was very impressed. She did ask about a handrail for the steps but everything else was better than she expected. Alisha was a perfect hostess, and I would recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Perfect little home!

My family and I loved staying only 19 minutes from Caberfae Peaks ski resort. The house had plenty of room for the 4 of us. Had everything thing we needed to cook meals. The little M-55 Market next door is super amazing and has everything you could need. Super easy to contact host. Will definitely be back!!

Amazing all around

We randomly picked this cabin on VRBO and it was an amazing pick. The property owner was extremely friendly and communicated instantly when I reached out to her. (Access code stopped working during stay.) Location was close to local restaurants and a market store but far enough away from city life to enjoy the peacefulness of the wilderness. And it was easy to get to the bigger cities. Highly recommend this cabin and will be renting again for next summer.

Up north disc golf weekend

We typically camp for this kind of thing but I’m getting older and wanted a house instead. Place was cozy but had what we needed. It rained almost the entire weekend so the cabin was clutch.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in the area for around 30 years and have spent those years investing and encouraging business development. I am the Executive Director of our local Non-Profit Tourism and Business Development Organization and fully enjoy seeing our area prosper. We have a few vacation rental homes that I manage and I am also a REALTOR and Property Manager for Big River Properties . We also operate a small motel- The Black Bear Inn, an apartment building, an automotive repair facility, and a handful of long term rentals. We have three children who help us (even when they don't want to) run these businesses and hopefully one day will share our passion for creating economic development in rural areas.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is centrally located. Close to The Big Manistee River, The Tippy Dam and Backwaters, Lake Michigan is a 20 minute drive. Small convenience store with tons of groceries, a deli and delicious meat case within walking distance! Newly rebuilt Dublin General Store only a few miles away!
