Description

Discover Tippy Dam Lodge, a one-of-a-kind retreat deep in Michigan's Manistee National Forest. Built over 30 years ago, this unique property sleeps up to 22 guests and offers three distinct log-built structures: The Sleeping Quarters, a Recreational/Conference Center, and a Kitchen/Dining Room Building with commercial appliances. Perched atop a ridge overlooking the Big Manistee River, with access via 212 groomed steps to the dam and surrounding trails, it blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Enjoy unforgettable outings: world-class salmon and steelhead fishing in the famed tailwaters, scenic hikes, paddling, ORV, snowmobiling—right from your doorstep. The property also features two traditional-style homes for additional options for guests or to use as a residence. Close to Caberfae ski resort, Little River Casino, Lake Michigan, golf and ORV trails, this lodge is perfect for multi-generational family gatherings or group adventures.
