Lakefront Wildwood Retreat – Your Peaceful Escape Awaits

Your Perfect All-Season Lakefront Lodge Retreat

Welcome to our spacious, family-friendly lakefront lodge—set on an elevated 3-acre lot with panoramic views and your very own private island for campfires under the stars. This is the ideal place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the best that Michigan’s four seasons have to offer.

Summer on the Lake

Relax on the large deck overlooking the water or kick back on the private sandy beach. Kids of all ages will love the shallow swim area, playground with a large swing set and slide, and evening s’mores around the island fire pit (firewood provided!).
Enjoy 6 included kayaks, great fishing, and easy boating—just 500 feet from a very nice concrete public launch ramp, in addition to our private access.

A spacious walkout basement provides the perfect hangout spot for kids or the whole family.

Fall Colors & Scenic Drives

Start your color tour right from the lodge. Several beautiful two-lane roads lead to Petoskey, Indian River, and other charming Up North towns—perfect for taking in vibrant fall foliage. Golf lovers will appreciate multiple world-class courses nearby.

Winter Wonderland

Located in the heart of the Snow Belt, the lodge enjoys excellent snowmobiling conditions (AWD recommended). We’re just 3 miles from Rails-to-Trails by snowmobile and 5 miles from the Pigeon River Forest.
Kids can sled down our large hill, and snowboarders/skiers are less than 35 miles from Boyne Mountain and one hour from The Highlands. A large parking area accommodates up to 10 vehicles.

Outdoor Beauty & Wildlife

We’re just a few miles from one of the Top 10 mountain biking trails in the U.S., recognized by Men’s Journal—plus miles of riding in the Pigeon River Forest.
Our location feels remote in the best way—quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. It’s not uncommon to see eagles soaring above the lake, hear coyotes at night, listen to elk bugling in the distance, or wake to the call of the loons.

This is a special place to share with family and friends—spacious, scenic, and serene enough that you can truly hear yourself think.
