Great location and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations for a fishing trip that was close to the river. Host was phenomenal and always responsive! Thank you for the stay.

Cabin was fine other than the air wouldn’t work and it was sweltering at night

The cabin was a great location. Cute and really nice- the beds are small, but the main issue was the AC is in the living room, and we couldn’t even get it below 80 degrees inside.

Great for what we needed

This served well as a sleep spot the night before the north country trail run. Just up the road less than 10 minutes From the Big M parking. Could only hear the neighbors who shared a wall a little bit.

Quick overnight for fishing trip

We needed a clean place that would accommodate four of us for our overnight stay after our fishing charter. This place was great! I would definitely recommend it for any length of stay. Short drive to Downtown Manistee. Clean, cozy, stylish and has everything you need

Little gem

This little gem in Wellston. We stayed there during a snowmobiling trip. Location to the trails wasn’t the best but Shooting Star was warm and clean. Thanks
