Wellston retreat!

This property was clean and inviting when we arrived. We chose this location because we wanted to be close to our family, but still maintain our own space. This location is only about 25 minutes from Manistee, and a couple minutes from Crystal lake. Perfect location and was a perfect little cabin in the woods.

Comfortable cabin in the woods

We had a relaxing time with family at this cabin. We were visiting our son who is in the coast guard. It was a great location to be away from the business but close enough to go to the beaches. It was also nice to visit the Tippy Dam. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It has pots and pans, cookie sheets. It has a coffee maker, toaster, utensils to use to cook with. Washer and dryer made it convenient. Outside has a gas grill or a charcoal grill and a fire pit that you can sit around. This cabin and place is very peaceful. You can hear the birds in the morning. There are a several places to sit and relax. I highly recommend this place in the woods

Good Location for Fishing at Tippy Dam

The house worked very well for our needs with two fishermen heading to Tippy Dam each evening. A quick bike ride to the small lake within Wellston was appreciated by the grandsons. Only a half hour drive to Manistee, which we did several times during our stay, is access to Lake Michigan/beach. The restroom upstairs is definitely smaller than we anticipated but the grandsons used that while the adults tended to use the larger bathroom upstairs. All and all, it was a good location which overshadowed any downsides. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Upon entrance the interior appeared clean. But on our first night stay my daughter felt something crawling on her next. Upon investigation she saw mice droppings. Because of an early prior engagement we left early and did not return until late. My daughter refused to sleep in the house. She slept in the car and the next morning we were appalled at what we found. The new loaf of bread that was left on the countertop was bitten into. It was then we did some further investigation to find mice droppings just about everywhere. When we contacted the manager she expressed shocked as she has the place terminated three times a year. She could not believe that we left without giving her a chance to correct the situation and further stated that it could have been worse. It could have been a bear. We paid a little over $1100 for six nights but was forced to leave after two nights. We were refunded $600. That would cover the four nights we did not stay. We should not have to pay the cleaning fee. And for the stress and loss of food we should be rewarded the tax for the four nights we didn’t stay as well as the cleaning fee.

Wonderful and relaxing family trip

My partner and I stayed 4 nights with our 6 children. Plenty of room for us inside and out. Kids loved the swingset out back. Kitchen fully stocked with spices and cookware. Plenty of hot water and towels... I could go on and on. This locatation is perfect for any of your Lake Michigan experiences from Ludington to Sleeping Bear.

We loved the overall set up of this property! If I could make a suggestion it would be to have more lounging furniture we feel two recliners would fit in there along with the couch and loveseat
