The Wild Winds is a nature lover’s paradise all year round. We offer many trails for hiking and/or biking. Enjoy fishing, boating and relaxing on the lake and beach, just steps from your rustic cabin. Or spend time at our private pond (actually a small lake) nestled in the woods, for swimming and canoeing. Or for a little more excitement the Wild Winds is only 7-8 Miles from world class golfing, shopping, restaurants and other sporting lakes. If you like to take short day trips you could go to Petoskey to see beautiful Lake Michigan, or spend your day at Mackinac Island.

“Honeymoon cabin has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 6-8,

Our other vacation cabin is called “Junior” (VRBO 368462) The log homes are right on Wequas Lake, and our beautiful private lake is just a short walk into the woods.

Both homes come equipped with satellite TV, washer, dryer, full kitchen and 1 bath. FREE Hi-SPEED INTERNET. The price is the same for either log home. In July and August we rent by the week (Saturday to Saturday) There is $100 cleaning fee, and well-behaved dogs are permitted for an additional fee.

There are a total of four homes at the Wild Winds; the Lodge (where my niece lives), the Dorm (my house) and two vacation log homes.

Thinking ahead to other seasons The Wild Winds is a winter wonderland! Stay in this rustic, cozy log home at the Wild Winds that we call the “Junior” cabin (built in the 1950’s). Snowmobile trails start at the top of our driveway. Cross-country ski on our 70 acres of private trails, or visit groomed county trails only a couple of miles away. Ski downhill courses such as Treetops or Boyne Mountain, each only about half an hour away. Or simply enjoy the pristine beauty of our acres of pine forest in their winter frosting!

There is room to park a trailer here.

    Very rustic cabin, but comfortable and welcoming. This cabin is quite close to other cabins but we had plenty of privacy. Owners allowed us to fish, have a bonfire, and light fireworks on the 4th of July. The owners dog, Gunner, ran around and kept us company. Extremely accommodating when I asked for extra day and extra person staying with us. Only downside was lack of cooking utensils, hand soap, and no paper towels/trash bags. I would definitely add a few more outdoor chairs since this cabin accommodates 9 people and only had 4 outside chairs.

    The cabin was great. I want to explain that the cabin was rustic and in the middle of the woods. GREAT in my opinion. That means bugs and critters who also enjoy the woods. The owner were great. The owners were there to great us as soon as we arrive. Everything the web sight said was all true. Had a great vacation and we will be back. The only problem was we are a board gaming family and I suggest a little more lights but I will still come back. Thank you for a great time. Kim F Michigan

    Perfect location for a family reunion nearby. Cabin was rustic, charming but in need of overall cleanliness and basic supplies (kitchen cookware, linens, toiletries and window screens, and outdoor seating) we enjoyed our time at Wild Winds!

    We needed a place to relax after a day of snowmobiling in Gaylord and this home fit the bill perfectly. Spacious and charming it was like we were time-warped back to the 50's/60's. The original cabin, along with the addition, allowed the four of us plenty of room for sleeping and lounging. It was a pleasure to meet the owner and get the history of the property. He was very informative and easily accessible if needed. Our winter trip was awesome and I know we'll be back in the summer to enjoy the lake. Overall a great weekend in a great home!

    We had a great experience at the cabin. This is a rustic cabin with all the patina of its history. I grew up going to a cabin just like this. The host was very accommodating, making sure the house was warm when we arrived at 1:00am in the morning. There was plenty of parking for sleds and trailers. Trail head was at the end of the drive. If you want a place that's warm, comfortable, and to relax with your friends, you have a great place. If you have issues the family is close by to help out in any way they can. This is what I expect of a well mature northern Michigan cabin. We will stay there again, as long as the snow holds out for the season. Being off the beaten path gives you a nice seclusion from the hotel scene. Was a great time. Appreciated all your help Rokko.
