Looking for a retreat that feels like you're far away but still close to everything The Wild Refuge Lodge may be just the spot for you. This secluded rustic lakefront lodge on Green Lake, located on 125 acres of woodlands, offers a beautiful, quiet spot for you to unwind. The large log home features 6-bedrooms and 4-full baths. Up to 14 guests are welcome. Walk through the front door into a huge living room, including an electric fireplace, with sitting a area that looks through a two-storywall of glass onto the woods and waterfront. Off the living area is the full kitchen and dining room that also face the lake. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on each level. Beds include three kings, a double, and six twins. A suspended catwalk spans the two-story living area connecting the second-floor bedrooms. Additional dining area off the kitchen offers a fun space for families to gather.

Outdoors, children can run freely while parents relax with no worries about traffic. Spot deer in the morning and hear owls and loons at night. A porch-side picnic table allows alfresco dining with spectacular views across the water as the sun sets over the Betsie River – a protected national wilderness area.

Walk down to the dock for a late-afternoon swim, or – if you’ve brought your own boat – launch it at the public boat access, next to the river just across the water. There is mooring available to tie up your boat. Green Lake offers clear waters and welcomes boaters and fisherman. Take a swim in the deep cool waters. Due to the nature of this property, outdoor fires are prohibited.

Renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts, a cultural hub for talent from around the world, is just 10 minutes away. Traverse City – with its annual film festivals and beloved Cherry Festival – is 30 minutes away. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is just 40 minutes away.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely location. Terrific shared spaces with excellent dining facilities for a large group. My only real problem was the total lack of bedside stands or any kind of light for reading in bed. I need my glasses by my bedside, but nothing doing here. Showers were not great, but marginally ok. Very clean. Property manager was very responsive when needed.

    Location was OK. Property needs some upkeep. Main door was open when we arrived. Basement door to the outside was closed but unlocked. Property has a dock but there are no provisions for tying up any kind of boat.Will not refer this property to anyone asking for a recommendation.

    Property was as advertised. Overall the house was clean and ready for us on arrival. This house is located down a long driveway and is nestled in the woods so we did expect it to be rustic in setting. Access to Green Lake is wonderful and we did a lot of swimming right off the dock. Plenty of room for four families and a total of 13 guests!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful property, great location. Clean and mostly well maintained. There were several burned out bulbs and bedroom lighting wasn’t very good. . Furnishings and bedding were in great shape. All the butter knives were missing, but the property manager got right on it and left replacements within a couple hours. Minor problems in an otherwise terrific experience.

Reviewer Comments: This property was comfortable and spacious, amenities were as described. We did have a problem with one of the bathrooms leaking into the kitchen when the shower was used. The property manager was responsive and someone was sent to address our concerns. Also had a minor issue with fire alarms going off one day for no apparent reason. All in all it was a pretty nice rental.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had just 4 people in this enormous house. It's much older than you see in the pictures but very very clean. The kitchen was amazing and the lake, just wow. Clear waters, nice dock. Three of the four bathrooms could use an upgrade, some of the furniture could be upgraded too and the exterior could use a lot of landscaping. Otherwise, we had the best time and are considering this a yearly event!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was an amazing place for our family of 12 to stay at for the week. The lake was clear and amazing, the volleyball net sponsored some very competitive matches and it had enough bathrooms and bedrooms to not cause any additional drama. The rental company even called on a holiday weekend to check on us. could not recommend this rental enough.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second year that our family rented the Wild Refuge Lodge. Green Lake is beautiful, with clear water and the lodge is located close to a boat launch and the river, which is great for kayaking. There was plenty of space for our extended family. The lake views from the house are beautiful. Campfires are not permitted, but the yard provides plenty of seating with great views of the lake. The water is shallow near the shore and gets deeper gradually, perfect for swimming, and the “yard” has beautiful mature trees for the perfect northern feel. Would definitely rent again.
