✦ A-Frame Adventure Basecamp · Starlink Wi-Fi · Sleeps 6 ✦
Your launchpad into northern Michigan’s outdoor playground — a striking modern A-frame in the Manistee National Forest, Wellston MI, with soaring glass, cathedral ceilings, and a 16×16 deck in the pines. Two minutes to ORV/snowmobile trails, ten to Tippy Dam’s world-class fishing, twenty-five to Caberfae Peaks. Sleeps 6 · 2 bedrooms + sofa sleeper · trailer- & boat-friendly parking · rare Starlink Wi-Fi · pet-friendly.
BUILT FOR THE TRIP
Roll in with the sleds, the ATVs, the boat, or the gear — there’s level parking for all of it. Then unwind in a light-filled, open living space with 8-foot glass doors onto the deck and forest. Sleeps 6:
• 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed + blackout curtains
• Queen pull-out sofa in the living room
• 1 full bathroom with modern fixtures
• Fully equipped kitchen — full-size range, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, cookware + coffee bar (Keurig + drip)
• Washer & dryer with detergent provided
• Smart TV, Starlink Wi-Fi, smart thermostat, central A/C + heat, keyless entry
WHY GUESTS LOVE IT
Top 10% of stays in the area, 10/10 cleanliness. As one guest said: “way better than what’s showing online — like staying in a million-dollar home.”
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR
• 2 min → ORV/ATV & snowmobile trail access
• 5 min → North Country Trail — hiking & biking
• 7 min → Big-M Trail System — mountain biking & cross-country skiing

A BASECAMP FOR EVERY SEASON
• Spring — steelhead runs and quiet trails
• Summer — rivers, ATVs, and Lake Michigan beach days
• Fall — color tours and prime hunting/fishing country
• Winter — snowmobile straight from the trail system, then thaw out by the fire
MADE FOR LONGER STAYS, TOO
With Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi and full laundry, this cabin is an easy yes for monthly fall and winter basecamps — remote work by day, trails by afternoon. Ask about extended-stay rates in the off-season.
