Minutes to Tippy Dam. Clean & roomy! Waiting for you to make memories!

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.

Wonderful time
Me and my family were positively surprised by the cottage. It was very readable and comprehensive and very clean . Mrs. Tracy is a wonderful person. She helped us with everything and even recommended places worth seeing. We are very happy that we could spend our family time in such a nice place. We will definitely come back again to create more family memories. Thank you, Mrs. Tracy, once again for making it possible for us to spend the weekend in your cottage .

Good compromise
My son was going on a camping trip with a company nearby, and my daughter and I took the opportunity to see some of the sights in Traverse City and Manistee. The house was centrally located between those things, and that was very welcome. It is clean and has three bedrooms, also a plus. The only draw back was its location to the main roads traveled by trucks in the morning during the week only. This is not a major issue but I was surprised by it, these roads are not busy but the trucks do travel by in the morning, of weekdays (not the weekends).

Fishing Weekend
This worked out great for us. Close to Manistee where we fised, close to the casino and golf. Walking distance to the Restaraunt/Bar and gas around the corner. It looks more secluded than it is as it's basically right off the side of the road. Our host was responsive and we had everything we needed. I could see it as a snowmobile season rental as well. Overall we were happy.
