About the host
Hosted by Tammy Miller
We’re a Michigan family who loves the outdoors, photography, and quiet cabin life. We built this chalet as a comfortable retreat surrounded by forest but close to everything northern Michigan offers. We take pride in keeping the space spotless, simple, and exactly what we’d want if we were the guests.
Why they chose this property
We chose Wellston for its balance of peace and proximity — tucked inside the Manistee National Forest yet minutes from the Pine, Manistee, and Little Manistee Rivers. You can fish in the morning, hike after lunch, and still make it to Lake Michigan for sunset. The small-town friendliness and endless trails make it feel like home.
What makes this property unique
This isn’t an old cabin with creaky floors — it’s a brand-new, purpose-built chalet designed for comfort and adventure. Guests love the modern rustic feel, Starlink Wi-Fi (rare for the area), the massive glass doors that open to the deck, and the fire pit under a canopy of stars. It’s a true Up North experience with the comforts of home
