About this property

Tippy Dam a few miles away! Lake Michigan & trails all close. Super clean!

  • Nestled in the heart of the Manistee National Forest is the quaint little town of Brethren, Michigan. With a population of just over 1000 people, it is quite possibly one of the best kept secrets in the state. On the other side of the Manistee River is the humble town of Wellston, Michigan. With a slightly larger population, this area overflows with charm. Natural beauty abounds in these towns. They offer abundant activities for every season.

hunting trip 2023

we stayed at the property while we hunted the public land areas in brethren. I was amazed at how clean the property was ... smelled good, looked good, everything. one of the things that i particularly appreciated was that the linens and sheets and blankets didn't smell musty. i have asthma and allergies and often times cabins like this have issues with air quality and everything smells like mold. NOT THE CASE HERE! Would definitely stay again :)

In the Woods

The rental was nice and clean. The AC worked nicely especially during the warmer days. It could have used a better quality cookware, utensils and better chairs since we used the table a lot. Two of the table chairs reclined significantly which made it difficult to eat (plus they squeaked). The master bedroom door is also squeaky and needs a little WD-40. Overall, the rental was spacious, and cool.

The location of property was perfect and restaurant across street is a a good place to dine. Property was amazing lots of space very quiet gave our 1 yr old grandson area to play. The house was perfect for our group of 5 beds were comfortable. Plenty of seating and fully equipped kitchen not that we used stove much as we premake meals so we used microwave more to reheat things. Great place to relax/sleep in between fishing. If we had any question or issues the host was right on it quick replies any time I reached out. The house was very clean when we arrived. This is a great place to stay I would highly recommend

Family Getaway

The property was in a good location and not to far from all kinds of outdoor activities. We went to the beaches on Lake Michigan and kayaked the rivers. Tracy was a great host and even provided recommendations of people in the area offering what we were looking for and ended up using the kayak service she recommended.
