Good Location for Fishing at Tippy Dam
The house worked very well for our needs with two fishermen heading to Tippy Dam each evening. A quick bike ride to the small lake within Wellston was appreciated by the grandsons. Only a half hour drive to Manistee, which we did several times during our stay, is access to Lake Michigan/beach. The restroom upstairs is definitely smaller than we anticipated but the grandsons used that while the adults tended to use the larger bathroom upstairs. All and all, it was a good location which overshadowed any downsides. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

Travelled with family and small children
Disliked: Cleanliness
Upon entrance the interior appeared clean. But on our first night stay my daughter felt something crawling on her next. Upon investigation she saw mice droppings. Because of an early prior engagement we left early and did not return until late. My daughter refused to sleep in the house. She slept in the car and the next morning we were appalled at what we found. The new loaf of bread that was left on the countertop was bitten into. It was then we did some further investigation to find mice droppings just about everywhere. When we contacted the manager she expressed shocked as she has the place terminated three times a year. She could not believe that we left without giving her a chance to correct the situation and further stated that it could have been worse. It could have been a bear. We paid a little over $1100 for six nights but was forced to leave after two nights. We were refunded $600. That would cover the four nights we did not stay. We should not have to pay the cleaning fee. And for the stress and loss of food we should be rewarded the tax for the four nights we didn’t stay as well as the cleaning fee.
