Minutes to Tippy Dam. Clean & roomy! Waiting for you to make memories!

Nestled in the heart of the Manistee National Forest is the quaint little town of Brethren, Michigan. With a population of just over 1000 people, it is quite possibly one of the best kept secrets in the state. On the other side of the Manistee River is the humble town of Wellston, Michigan. With a slightly larger population, this area overflows with charm. Natural beauty abounds in these towns. They offer abundant activities for every season.

Northwoods Lodging offers you a “home away from home” experience. Our cabins are fully furnished and cozy. We provide you with not only a place to lay your head, but a place to make life long memories.

Very clean, comfy couches. Great location for adventuring and a short walk to Traks for a drink and some food. Only suggestion would be to have a place for hanging waders outside, and I never figured out how to turn the bathroom fan on? I’d gladly rent here again

We came to the area to do some fishing and were pleasantly surprised with the spacious room it had and it was very clean. We made some last minute changes and the property manager was fantastic to work with and talk to, she went out of her way to make sure things were all good for us. We will definitely stay there again!

Wonderful time

Me and my family were positively surprised by the cottage. It was very readable and comprehensive and very clean . Mrs. Tracy is a wonderful person. She helped us with everything and even recommended places worth seeing. We are very happy that we could spend our family time in such a nice place. We will definitely come back again to create more family memories. Thank you, Mrs. Tracy, once again for making it possible for us to spend the weekend in your cottage .
