Beautifully Renovated Vintage Cabin in the Heart of Manistee National Forest

Beautifully redesigned, vintage, comfortable, super clean cabin located in the heart of Manistee National Forest. Totally secluded with no neighbors in sight. Cabin sits on 5 wooded acres and is surrounded by hundreds of acres of Manistee National Forest. Our place has been recently remodeled and beautifully appointed. Close to fishing ( WORLD RECORD BROWN TROUT CAUGHT 4 MILES AWAY), hunting, hiking, downhill and cross country skiing, mountain biking, (Big M Cross Country and mountain bike trails are only 3 miles down the road) canoeing and kayaking, and snowmobiling ( catch the trails right from the driveway). Beautiful covered front porch with huge patio and charcoal grill. Also has a firepit for those evening bonfires! The cabin comes totally furnished and also has a washer and dryer. The bathroom and bedroom are very large and there is a leather sofa and futon in the living room. We also have 2 very comfortable roll away sleeper cots. You will not be disappointed with our place!

Family fishing trip
The accommodations were well suited for the occasion, and there was nothing lacking according to what was represented by the advertisement. Surely an excellent cabin to rent for a fishing or hunting trip

Loved our short stay!
We spent two nights at Shawn’s cabin for a quick anniversary getaway. It was clean, the location was private and peaceful, and Shawn was very responsive, kind and accommodating. We’d love to return!

This cabin was in an ideal location. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed staying there except the bed was uncomfortable and creaked loudly everytime either my husband or myself turned over.

We really enjoyed the gun range. There was no power when we arrived due to high winds, the owner was very nice and gave an alternate, very nice, property to stay that was pretty close by. Thanks so much Shawn!

Great Weekend
My husband and some of our close friends stayed at the cabin for the North Country Trail race weekend. The cabin was super clean, roomy, and close to the start/finish. This is the place we will want to stay every time we go back for this race or if we just want to spend the weekend in Manistee!

Cozy, clean cabin in the woods. Close to trails and Tippy Dam. About 20 minutes from downtown Manistee which is a very cute town. Just a little noisy at times with the traffic since it’s right off the main highway.

Wellston Cabin
Very modern cabin - owner has recently updated the interior & it's better than ever! We have stayed here twice & always enjoy the setting & nearby attractions. The price is very reasonable with everything you need including laundry, beds, modern kitchen, outdoor firepit & access to the main road. I highly recommend it!

Cute and cozy!
Cute and cozy little cabin. Very very clean. we enjoyed the shooting range right off the porch. Check in and out was a breeze. Right off the road from the trails. Only complaints were that the bed wasn’t very comfy and the headboard was noisy upon any slight movement. Overall we really enjoyed our getaway and would stay here again!

Nothing short of amazing!
My wife and I were celebrating an anniversary weekend together and wanted a secluded yet "close to town" spot to stay. This place was perfect. Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there. I let the owner know ahead of time that we would be checking in quite late and it wasn't an issue. Highly recommend vacationing here as well as visiting some hiking trails around the area!

Such a beautiful, quaint cabin!! We loved our stay and felt comfortable and at home. We enjoyed the charcoal grill (who doesn't love BBQ steak bought from the local market?!), and the firepit consumed our evenings. We chose this cabin because of its location; small town feels, but only an hour away from Traverse City!!!! (where we spent the day, and were more than happy to bring our wine back to the cabin for a relaxing evening) Shawn was super responsive, and we can't wait to come back and stay again!

Perfect Up North Getaway
My husband and I were looking for a peaceful, secluded cabin near Lake Michigan for our annual trip up north, and this was perfect! Very clean and tidy, with all the amenities needed to prepare meals after a day at the beach and then kick back and relax around the campfire at night. We loved it! Owners are super friendly and respond quickly to messages. Thank you so much for everything. We'll be back someday for sure.

Highly Reccommend !!!
Very quiet and peaceful. Bright starry nights and cool crisp mornings - the cabin has everything you will need from heating and cookware to sheets and towels. Rifling targets already set up, shooting off the porch keeps you dry in the rain. Comfy bed and pullaway, cozy & decorated like a hunter's dream escape.
