About this property

Rainbow Room The Black Bear Inn! Satellite, WiFi, Near River/Trails

The Black Bear Inn in Wellston, Mi. The Inn was purchased in 2015 and completed remodeled in 2016. The Inn features 4 motel style units in cozy lodge décor.

The Rainbow Room is a 1 Bedroom unit that sleeps 5. Bedroom features one Double and one Twin Bed, Closet, and Television. The living area sleeps 2 on the queen sofa sleeper.

Tastefully decorated to make a cozy, affordable, "at home" feel while "up-north". Full Kitchen with pots and pans and dinnerware for 6 and a full size dining area. Full Bathroom with Shower/Bathtub Combo and toiletries provided.

Location: This motel is located on M-55 (Caberfae Hwy) in Wellston. Although we don't receive many complaints regarding the highway noise, we feel it's necessary information. If you're a light sleeper- you may consider booking a motel that is further in the woods.

SNOWMOBILERS- The trails do not run into this property, however, we do offer a staging area right off the trail at the corner of M-55/Seaman Rd in Wellston. You can park your trailers in the lot and ride to the trails. The trailers may remain on the lot the duration of your stay. The lot offers video surveillance 24/7 to keep tabs on your property. Contact for additional details!

Located close to the Big Manistee River, Tippy Dam, The Pine River and in the middle of the Manistee National Forest!

FAQ's

Can we bring our pet?
Unfortunately we have many guests with pet allergies and pet hair/dander is a constant issue. We are not accepting pets at this time.

What do we need to bring?
We supply toilet paper, hand soap, paper towel, dish soap, sponges, linens/blankets/pillows for beds (beds are made for guests) as well as towels, washcloths, kitchen towels, mini shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, etc.. We suggest bringing anything you feel you may need in addition and reviewing our amenities and supply list in it's entirety prior to traveling to your rental.

What activities are available in your area?
The activities in our area are nearly entirely outdoor recreation activities. Blessed to be located in the Manistee National Forest we are lucky to be very close to some amazing hiking/fat biking trails such as the Big M and the North Country Trail. We are surrounded by lakes and rivers as well. Kayak or canoe on the Big Manistee, the Little Manistee or the Pine River. Watch the salmon run in the fall in small creeks or fish one of our many small lakes. We are also located only about a half hour from Lake Michigan and it's beautiful beaches. Shopping is available in Manistee, Ludington, and Traverse City. Our area also has many ATV and Snowmobile trails and trail maps are available online and in the welcome book at our cabins. This cabin is located approx 20-35 minutes from Crystal Mountain and Caberfae Peaks for skiing and snowboarding.

Love this place!
This is my third year staying here and I love this property! First time in the rainbow room and it’s so cute and spacious. Dublin general store is minutes away and beautiful beaches are only 20ish minutes away. Can’t beat location and the price.

About the host

Hosted by Alicia Cook

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.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property after watching it sit vacant for many years. We wanted to see it reopen and bring guests to our area!
