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. All wheel drive is highly recommended. 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 shuffleboard table, large card table, and a TV for streaming. All 9 of our bed rooms now offer 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.
