- "We were a group of six family members 65+ and found this house very comfortable. It was very clean and well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. There were a lot of places to take day trips to. We enjoyed our week very much." - "This is our 4th stay at this property and it never disappoints. We love pan to be back again next week." - "We booked the same place year after year because we love the privacy. We put on a big mountain bike race nearby and it is nice to just head back and relax at the cabin! We spent most of our time outdoors and loved the new Michigan chairs at the fire pit. They have also updated the basement and got rid of the carpeting, which makes it appear so much larger and cleaner."

Pets are welcome!

This privately situated cabin on a spacious estate and wildlife sanctuary, offers one of the best vacation locations available in Michigan if you are looking for a more rustic setting. Dine while looking out a large picture window, over a beautiful section of an inland lake only 25 feet from the front door, and just behind that a view of Lake Michigan.

This spacious, fully furnished, beautiful knotty pine cabin with cathedral ceiling and loft, is decorated with antiques from the logging industry and a historic sawmill, that operated on this site up to 30 years ago.

A dock with kayaks & canoe are located out the front door for your use to explore or fish our inland lake. Great bass and pike fishing available, or enjoy salmon fishing in Lake Michigan by charter. A deck and private beach on the Lake Michigan shoreline are yours to enjoy.

Walk, cycle or run along scenic Lakeshore Rd. bike path that winds along Lake Michigan, or visit the Audubon Society Center and Nature Trails, both within a couple minutes walk. White Tail Deer frequently move around on the property in the early morning and the evening hours. A bird watcher's paradise!

The Cabin is located only 5 minutes north of downtown Manistee, allowing for easy access to shopping and activities sponsored by our Victorian City. If you feel lucky, try the 'Little River Casino' just north of Manistee on US 31 & M 22.

One lower bedroom and an upper loft sleeps 6, with room for 2 more on a queen-size sofa/sleeper. Just bring personal belongings, beach towels & food, as everything else is provided; linens, bath towels, front deck, & back patio w/table & chairs, picnic table, gas grill, microwave, gas fireplace, cable TV/VCR and stereo.

It is a terrific place for kids to occupy themselves, explore by boat or canoe and learn about our natural environment. Our private lake is nearly a mile long and offers much to see in waterfowl and other wildlife. While those who would take a more casual approach can be reading and sunbathing on our spacious Lake Michigan beach. There is easy access to our Lake Michigan beach, as we are on low bank relative to the lake. The beach is spacious with a lot of privacy to the south along the Audubon property. Although the lake bottom topography changes continually, quite often you can find sandy bottom to swim fairly close to our lake access and deck.

The yard is very spacious. There is plenty of room to park your travel trailer, RV, boats or other.

We welcome well-behaved pets. I have a Gordon setter named Duncan that roams the property that is very friendly with other dogs and people. He seldom spends time at the cabin, just to come down and greet you. I've never had a complaint about him. As a matter of fact I hear only good things about him.

We are Pet Friendly

- "A wonderful rustic cabin just steps away from Lake Michigan." - "We loved the Old Mill Cabin cottage. Lots to do in the area." - "Really cool place with a good location close to Lake Michigan beaches and downtown Manistee. Owner allowed our small dogs and a short minimum stay, which was great. My kids enjoyed it and so did we." - "The cabin sits a couple of acres, so there is lots of elbow room. There is a bricked fire pit, room enough for a volleyball net, and several boats (a canoe, an ausable boat, and a kayak). It is unfortunate that M22 is on the opposite side of the pond, but a walk into Audubon's Sanctuary cures and there is private Lake Michigan access just across M22 with a small deck and bench perfect for watching sunsets. The public access still has a sandy beach in this year of historically high lake water. Inside, there is a bedroom with a double bed and a center full height loft with 2 double beds. The dining and livingroom are fully open to one another and is quite roomy, with enough seating for a gathering. The cabin is very clean and the linens and upholstery is crisp. With in the installation of an attic fan and gas stove (fireplace) the cabin is likely very comfortable for 3 seasons....and maybe 4."

The unique 1930 train caboose is nestled over looking the Big Manistee River in the heart of the Manistee National Forest.

Owners Michael & Jenni Tilmann have worked hard to make this a cozy and clean place to stay while enjoying your next rustic adventure. Capt.

North West Michigan offers lots of activities such as Sleeping Bear Dunes, casinos, as well as the wonderful beaches of Lake Michigan! For further details please visit www.visitmanistee.com !

- "The Lodge was very quaint and quiet, tucked back in the Manistee National Forest, overlooking the Big Manistee River. Everything was exactly as advertised.

Our visit with her was most memorable and we appreciate her! Thank you Nina and Mike Tillman for allowing us to stay at The Lodge!" - "This trip was great, the lodge was fantastic. If you want to relax this place offers that. Loved the whole atmosphere out there. The owner is very nice and friendly, would absolutely book again"

- "Nice stay" - "The cabin was perfect for the four of us. It was very clean and centrally located. The only problem we had was the wi-fi inside the house was spotty but that wasn't a big deal. We loved the deck and the propane fire pit. We sat out there every night. Overall, we would stay here again and i would recommend to to friends and family." - "Ease of use. Great location and well equipped. Loved the patio and outdoor space.

First thing we noticed is the quiet atmosphere when we arrived. There are neighbors on both sides but one was vacant all week and the other was there but were quiet and respectful. There is also a privacy fence between the property so we didnt see them at all. The house is practically new. Updated and new appliances. Your basic needs are taken care of. Smart TV in living room with descent wifi. Front porch is covered and so nice to just sit and listen to the wildlife. We had a few bonfires at night, it was a great time. The owner (Dan) was polite, attentive and made sure that we knew he was just down the road if we needed anything. He came by a few times to take away the trash from the outdoor bin that was provided. The property is about 20 minutes east of Manistee, but Wellston is only 5 minutes away if you needed to pick up something from the store. Manistee has fantastic beaches and plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. We really enjoyed our stay, it was nice to slow down and rest from the hustle of life. Would reccomend! Thank you Dan!"
