About this property
Woodland Retreat At Finch Creek
Woodland Retreat is the perfect Up North escape for families and friends who crave peace, space, and nature right outside the door. Nestled on 37 private acres, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the ideal mix of comfort and rustic charm — with a screened-in gazebo for outdoor dining, a cozy fire pit for evenings under the stars, and a gentle stream where you can relax on the swing or try your luck catching brook trout.
Inside, the home is bright, comfortable, and fully equipped for your stay. The open kitchen and dining area make it easy to gather for shared meals, while the spacious living room invites you to unwind after a day of exploring. Guests love the comfortable beds, beautiful décor, and thoughtful touches that make this home feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.
Families especially appreciate the flexibility of space — the main home sleeps six, and the bunkhouse offers extra privacy with a queen loft and twin bunk, perfect for older kids, grandparents, or friends. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy time together or find a quiet nook for reading or relaxing.
Step outside to enjoy woodland walks along the property’s private trail loop, watch wildlife from the deck, or toast marshmallows by the fire. You’ll feel completely tucked away, yet you’re just 10 minutes from Torch Lake, Bellaire, Alden, and Shanty Creek’s golf courses and ski slopes.
Guests call Woodland Retreat “peaceful, private, and beautifully maintained” — a place where families make lasting memories and always wish they could stay longer. Whether you’re fishing the stream, hiking with your dog, or simply soaking in the quiet, this serene property offers everything you need to truly unwind.
Please note: driveway is steep and during winter, 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive, strongly suggested.
All guests must be 25 or older, unless families with small children. A refundable $500 security deposit is required and will be refunded after departure, if there are no issues.

This was a great place to stay! Centrally located for all of our needs. Enjoyed the seclusion and quiet evenings at the fire pit under the stars. The house had everything that would be needed to make you feel at home. The information book was very helpful including the property boundaries. Thank you so much for having us - will stay again!
This cottage was basically our home away from home for an entire week. They had everything we needed to be comfortable at this cottage. We all loved it and would be happy to return
The property was very nice. There were games and activities if you didn't want to leave. It is located 40 minutes to Elk Rapids or Traverse City. I loved the location. Torch Lake is only 10 minutes away. The host was so accommodating to our needs. The house is newly remodeled and very clean.
