About this property
Falling Leaf Retreat Creek Frontage! Privacy! Near Trails, Big Manistee River
This cozy little cabin in the woods features 1 bedroom with a queen log bed. The spacious living area features a sofa with full size sleeper, love seat, and television. This area opens up to the kitchen where you'll find extra bar seating and everything you need to cook up today's catch, mom's chili, or a simple breakfast for your crew. The full bathroom features a compact washer/dryer combo unit so you can pack a little lighter. 3 season room also features a double futon to sleep an extra 1-2 during the warmer season(does not have separate heat source). Fire Pit area with seating and charcoal and gas grill for a nice, private, cozy area to fully enjoy the outdoors. Home is secluded yet close to all of the local amenities. Plenty of room for your snowmobile trailer or boat! Walking Trails on property lead to the creek with walkover bridge. More information on trails located in welcome book.
**Although this location is nestled in the woods, target practice, hunting, or shooting of firearms is not permitted on this property as it is located in a residential area with homes nearby. Guests found to be using firearms on the property will be asked to leave without refund. This property is near to Federal Land in which guests are able to hunt.
Please review sleeping arrangements and square footage prior to booking. A home that sleeps 6 does not mean that there are 6 beds. Please be sure the sleeping arrangements are appropriate for your group.
Located only a couple of miles from the Tippy Dam in Wellston, Big Manistee River, Pine River, Federal Land for hunting. It's also only a short drive to shop in Manistee, head to the Little River Casino or to enjoy the shores of Lake Michigan.
FAQ's
Can we bring our pet?
Unfortunately this homeowner, as well as many travelers, have pet allergies and have opted to maintain a pet free home. We are sorry but we are not accepting pets at this time.
Can we camp on the property? Camping allowed on select properties. Contact prior to arrival. Fee may be required.
What do we need to bring?
Most of our locations 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, etc.. We suggest bringing anything you feel you may need 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. We are located 25 minutes from the Little River Casino and our area hosts the Hoxeyville Music Festival Annually as well!
