About this property

WildWood Valley Retreat

During the summer you can sit on our large deck or on our beach and relax. Your children will not get bored with our sandy swim area and play ground with large swing set, slide and climbing bars. The kids will like making s'mores at our island fire pit, and we provide the wood. We have 6 kayaks and and there is plenty of fish in the lake. If you’re bringing your own boat we are located 500 feet from a very nice concrete launch ramp.
This lodge is placed on an elevated 3 acre lot over looking the lake with its own private island to sit by the camp fire.
Large walkout basement for the kids or whole family to enjoy.

What a view !
There is a private beach to play by, plus a private or public launch to get watercraft in and out of the water.
The fall color tours can begin at our Lodge; you can take several two lane roads to Petoskey, Indian River and several other cities in the area while taking in the colors as you travel. For the Arnold Palmer’s in your group there are several world class golf courses located in the area.
In the winter the snowmobiling conditions are great; we are located in the Snow Belt and receive more than our fare share of the white stuff. We are 3 miles from the Rails for Trails by snow mobile and only 5 miles from Pigeon River Forest, we sit up on a large hill and the kids will enjoy great sledding. For the snowboarders in your family we are less than 35 miles from Boyne Mountain and one hour from the Highlands. Our large parking area will accommodate 10 vehicles.
Spring time brings morel mushroom hunters and spring golf. We are centrally located to accommodate your trips to the forest and the greens.
Our recreation room provides evening entertainment with a ping pong table, large card table, and a TV for streaming. Five of our nine bedrooms have 2 full sized beds and private bathrooms and four bedrooms have 2 queen size beds and private bathrooms. We provide the linens and towels for your stay but bring your own beach towels. Our kitchen is fully equipped and you can cook for your group with 2 gas stoves, 2 refrigerators, a dishwasher, and micro wave oven.
We are located only a few miles from one of the TOP 10 Mountain biking trails in the USA, Mountain biking in the Pigeon River Forest as noted in Men’s Journal Magazine. We are a member of the Michigan Vacation Rental Assoc.
We have a great location, remote by today's standards. We have seen several eagles as they soared above the lake, heard the call of the coyote's in the evening, the bugling of the elk when the wind is right and the call of the loons in the morning. It’s really a wonderful spot to share with friends and family and quiet enough to hear yourself think.

Snowmobile Trip
We had a large group stay at the lodge for our annual snowmobile trip. Everyone had their own bed, and every room has its own bath/shower! Great kitchen, as we cook all our breakfast and dinner on the trip. Nothing was needed, the lodge has it all! We will definitely consider staying here again! Thank you, the #snirtydozen

Family Perfect
We have an annual Christmas party with the extended family, and this was a great place! Bedrooms with bathrooms in each for every adult and their families! Good space - smaller kitchen than we are used to, but it was functional. Bring extension cords! An older home with limited outlets!

Our family gathering at the Wildwood Lodge in Wolverine was awesome. The place was perfect for our large group. The lodge was clean & nicely decorated plus the kitchen is adequately stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, spices, etc. This is a great place for large groups & we highly recommend it. Thank you to the Wildwood Team!

Why they chose this property

This is a cozy Lake Side Chelat hidden 10 minutes off I-75. Just enjoy the Day on the all sports lake with the family. We offer six kayaks and there is a public launch if you decide to bring or rent a water craft. Kids like to search and catch frogs and turtles or just jump of the dock and swim with a raft. In 2015 we put up a new swing set and dumped 30 yards of sandy beachfront. This is not just a rental property but what we call home when we are in the US and take care of it as such. Our goal is to make sure you are as happy and as comfortable as we are when we are home.

What makes this property unique

Perfectly located to visit near by towns, like Petoskey, Gaylord, Mackinac and Rodgers City are all roughly 30 minutes drive if you want to get out and explore the Northern tip of MI. Indian river is a 10 minute drive if you want to rent virtually any kind of outdoor utility vehicle or water craft. When you are done exploring you can come back to the quite lake of Wildwood and listen to the Loons calling and enjoy the sunset view. Cap of the evening with a bon-fire while staring at an umbrella of twinkling Northern stars when the moon is away.
