Absolutely amazing place within a variety of destinations within short distance. Great host and cute place with plenty of room and beautiful yard. Very pleased and will be renting again.
Overall the stay was very good. The only thing that surprised us was that it was right next to a gas station. It actually worked out very well because we could just walk over when we needed something. Great place to stay with friends and family, there was lots of space.
This was a great spot centrally located to little manistee river and bear creek. Tracy and Clyde we great host and we had no issues once so ever! Very relaxing and can't wait to get back again! Will be booking again. Thank you so much Tracy and Clyde until next time.
The thing I liked most was we had everything we needed for our stay available to us in the home. If we did forget something, the EZ Mart right next door had it. Having all linens was great, too. AC was cold and great relief when we returned. Check in was easy and communication was great. Within quick drive for a lot of easy fishing. This place easily accomodated the five of us.
The home was as advertised and worked great for our group. If you are looking for fancy or a super quiet location, this isn't it. If you are looking for a comfortable place to hangout as a base for a trip, this is great. Plenty of beds, clean, and Tracy was very friendly! The gas station next door was really convenient and we went there several times for supplies. I agree with some other reviewers that the furnace was unusually loud, but it didn't really impact our stay. If you are looking for an affordable option in this area, this is a great option!
Fantastic month in the Manistee NF and surrounding areas!
Tracy, Clyde, and their family were absolutely wonderful hosts! Three of us were doing some forestry research in the Manistee National Forest, and this house near Tippy Dam served as a perfect home base for us. Plenty of space for three people (or far more! We were a small group) - comfortable and cozy furniture, nice backyard, very well stocked kitchen with everything you'd need, right next to a convenience store/gas stations. It was clear that they really kept up with the property - it was clean, updated, and we had zero issues over a month! Lots of wonderful outdoor rec opportunities nearby, and a close (25 ish minutes) drive to Manistee. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to anyone!!
This is the 2nd time renting this property and it does great for what we need it for! Family and friends salmon fishing for the weekend making great memories!
So, it wasnât much. It was ok, but if you were expecting a place to stay near things to do⊠move on. It was fine to use for sleeping and showering for sure!!
My husband, myself, and a few of his buddies wanted a weekend get away full of fishing and this was the PERFECT location being within miles of multiple rivers access, boat launches, and the Tippee Damn! Not to mention the convenience of the BP literally next to the driveway for drinks. (Kind of ironic the BP had a sign saying fisherman welcomed but had no fishing stuff ..) Pappyâs bait shop is right around the corner though so no worries! Plus Meijer is about 20 minutes so we were able to get groceries and cook at the house with all the utensils provide in the house. The house has a great layout and perfect backyard for bonfires. I will mention the one downfall of the house is poor water pressure but at least there is a shower with PLENTY of towels! We are already planning another trip in September and I hope we are able to stay here again! Maybe even make it a yearly thing đ„°
We liked the location of the house in Brethern. It is away form the business and very quiet but close to attractions of all kinds. The house was pretty clean except for the floor needing a good cleaning and vacuuming under the furniture . All amenities are there and very comfortable. I would do it again if the opportunity arises.
We enjoyed our time at this house. Matched the description perfectly, very accommodating , and communication with the host and the check in process was very seamless. Will definitely look for this location next time in the area!
Year round activities! Tippy Dam, Spirit of the woods, North County Trail, Little River Casino, Manistee River, Lake Michigan are a few of the many features in and closely around.

Brethren is a cute little town and the surrounding are packed with unique activities.
