We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our trip! The house was beautiful, spacious, and the perfect setup for our group of friends. Everything was very clean and well taken care of, and the check-in process was super easy with clear instructions provided. The backyard was absolutely amazing, especially having the dock and being right on the water. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets, relaxing outside, and making so many great memories together. The house had everything we needed and truly made our trip even more special. We couldn’t have picked a better place and will definitely be back!

This house is perfect for a stay with kids! Each year us three best friends have a Halloween sleepover with all of our kids and this house could not have been more perfect. Minimal stairs, great view and sunsets, plenty of seating, bathroom in the kids room, two tvs, well stocked kitchen drawers. Highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful home to be for any length of time. On the lake, easy walkout to lake, and shallow water for little kids at the shore line. Owners did a wonderful job with updates making the cottage even more comfortable. Kids loved the bunk room with their own bathroom. Great vacation.

Wonderful Lakeside Getaway

Vacation with just the grandchildren was wonderful. The granddaughters enjoyed fishing off the deck, taking a walk, and loved the bunk room the house offered. Very comfortable with a beautiful functional kitchen. Also, always great when there are two bathrooms which this home has.

Thank you for your stay! So happy you loved our bunk room and the fishing off the dock! Mary and her guests were great. Very good communicators and left the place as they found it! Couldn't ask for more!

What a great spot! The cabin was clean and well-appointed. We used it for a guys' trip. We had ATVs with us and were able to access the trails from the cabin, so there was no need to trailer to the staging area. The TV worked well for watching sports in the evening. It is relatively recent, and I was able to log into my personal accounts to access all my usual channels. We didn't use the outdoor fire pit this time, but we plan to next time!

The Den at Wolf Lake-Baldwin, MI

This is our 2nd year renting the Den at Wolf Lake in Baldwin, MI. Our kids and grandkids just love it. Papa and Gma (my husband and I) love it because the whole family can spend the week together in one place! It's a great lake for fishing. Our youngest 4 spent all day, either on the raft or the boat, catching and releasing some huge (17-20") Bass. There excitement could be heard all around the lake.We were there the week that the Canadian Wildfires enveloped Michigan. One day we couldn't go outside for the smell of smoke. We played games and went bowling in Baldwin. The dining room table is huge and we all (12) fit around it easily. Even then we had a good time.There are 3 bedrooms. One King Bed Room, One Double Bed Room and one room that has 4 double beds built as bunk beds. All six of our grandkids (3 boys and 3 girls) slept in the Bunk Room together all week. We brought an air mattress for one of them and one slept on the bean bag chair (his favorite kind of bed!) There are 2 comfy couches that our son slept on too.We just really enjoy this place for the way our whole family can be together. It is such a blessing for us all!

Beautiful, spacious, comfortable cottage with plenty of room for our gang and all our stuff! We really appreciated the amenities - kayaks, bicycles, picnic tables, adirondack chairs, big fire pit, porch swing, etc. Excellent spot for swimming, star-gazing, and sunset-watching on our beloved Wolf Lake.
