Lakeside wilderness resort cabin with dock, fire pit, on-site store, bait shop!
The Wild Wings Cabin is our largest cabin with two bedrooms, a loft sleeping area and a nice wrap around deck. This unit features a queen bed and twin bed in one bedroom, a double bed and twin bed in a second bedroom and a double bed and three twins in the loft. There is a spiral stairway that leads to the loft which gives extra room in the kitchen and living room. This cabin sleeps up to 10. We are conveniently located on Thousand Island Lake on our own private bay. Thousand Island Lake Road is a snowmobile trail with access to major trail systems in Michigan and Wisconsin. Snowmobilers will appreciate trailer parking on site.
During the summer Thousand Island Lake Road serves as a bike trail…part of the Wilderness Lakes Trails system. We are the closest resort to Sylvania Wilderness offering over 18,000 acres of protected forest land that remains undeveloped. The Sylvania Wilderness Entrance station is just 3 miles from our resort.

Had a wonderful time! Plenty of room for everyone (6 adults) and direct access to the lake. Very convenient to LandOLakes and snowmobile trails. Super nice property manager on site and very cute gift shop (general store).

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Wild Wings Cabin at Wilderness Bay.
Unfortunately, like every company, the labor shortage has been an ongoing problem. Hiller Vacation Homes just recently took over this resort, and we are working hard to resolve these issues.
Like everyone, we do not like to see increases in prices. However, due to the rising inflation, we are, like most, having to increase costs to stay competitive.
We hope that your next experience at Wilderness Bay is a memorable one.
Little to no information once we arrived. No information about snowmobile trails in area, access to trails etc. Cabin was dusty, one roll of extra toilet paper, had to bring our own towels, even was dirty and when we tried to use it smoke from from crud in oven caused smoke to fill cabin. Could have been much better for price we paid! Plus, on our first morning saw that cabin was available on vrbo for a 3rd of what we paid
