About the host

Hosted by Sheila Holmes

Host profile image
I grew up in Wellston for many summers growing up. We love the outdoors and believe the Manistee National Forest is one of the best outdoor recreation areas in the nation!

Why they chose this property

The area is so "up north" -- you'll find peace and quiet and in some places, you'll feel like you're the first one to ever be there! Forests, streams, rivers, dunes, etc., and right next to the North Country Trail!

What makes this property unique

We believe we have one of the best locations! We are 40 minutes from Traverse City and the dunes, 25 minutes from Manistee and Lake Michigan (and Little River Casino), 5 minutes from Tippy Dam and Manistee River access.
