About this property

Cozy "Wildwood Lodge" Nestled in a Beautifully Wooded Setting - Pet Friendly

Welcome to the Wildwood Lodge! It is nestled amongst a beautiful diversity of pines, birches, and tamaracks that provide a plethora of shade during the sunniest of days! Make yourself at home around the fireplace, relax beneath the stars in the private hottub, or gather around the fire pit for stories and s'mores in this secluded Northern Michigan getaway!

Located in the Lakes of the North, an adventure is right around the corner from our own backyard! From Pencil Lake to Lake Harold, you can fish, paddleboard, kayak, or relax on the sandy beaches. You'll also have access to 100s of miles of ORV adventures.

Lakes of the North is a quaint little community and has many amenities available to our guests (fee applicable). The community center offers an indoor pool, lazy river, hot tub, video game lounge, and fitness center. Outside is a tennis court and pickle ball court. Settings Restaurant is a few miles up the road and known for excellent food at good prices with daily specials prepared by culinary experts.

A well renowned 18 hole golf course is situated in the middle of Lakes of the North and offers a good range of challenges from beginners to the experienced. Within 30 miles of the Lodge are a variety of other golf courses with some bringing golfers from across the country to experience Michigan's scenic views and golfing paradises.

Wildwood Lodge is also pet friendly! Understanding how important pets are to one's family, we welcome yours! Dog dishes and water bowls are available so you don't have to worry about bringing yours. There is a small fenced-in area where your dogs can stretch their legs freely and enjoy the outdoors without a leash!

Outside you will find a private 7-seat hottub with jets, underwater lighting, and Ozonator filtration system, overlooking the fire pit area. This spa is a high efficiency model, pre-heated and ready for you upon arrival!

For the beer connoisseurs, foodies, and quaint town shoppers, Bellaire is about a 20 minute drive where you'll find Short's Brewery, the Bellaire Bar, several boutiques, unique places like Bee Well that sells Mead, and coffee shops with homemade pastries. Your belly and taste buds will thank you!

Thank you for visiting our site and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us! Good luck in your searches and please travel safely!

Great little getaway

Stephanie and Steven were very prompt at answering any questions we had before and during our stay. The location was perfect Gaylord was only a 20 min drive and Lake Harold was a pleasant surprise with how clean the lake was with a nice little beach.

Lovely winter cabin get-away!

This property was just what I was hoping for when I booked a long weekend up north for a little rest and relaxation! The cabin was clean and well stocked with all the essentials to make you comfortable for your stay. My dog came with me and felt right at home with all the special touches for our four legged friend! The added bonus was th the beautiful snowfall that blanketed the foreat during our stay! And we also very much enjoyed being able to use the hot tub as well!! All around it was a 5 star weekend!

Terrific

We enjoyed a delightful ten days exploring northern Michigan. The Wildwood Lodge was a wonderful respite at the end of each day. The property is lovely and one of the best equipped VRBO we have stayed in.

Check-in was a breeze, owners were great. Home was lovely, clean. We used this location as a home base for several day trips to various towns like Charlevoix and Traverse City, and just relaxation, and it was the perfect spot for both!

Perfect Up North central location

We enjoyed our stay in this cute home! Well stocked kitchen with everything labeled for convenience. Owners were quick to respond to questions we had during our stay and offered dinner ideas for nearby restaurants. Super quiet location but close to anywhere you want to go Up North! Hour drive to Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, or Mackinac Island.

Quiet, secluded, pet friendly.

We had a great stay at this home. Pet friendly with the home and fenced in area that is both in the front yard and back. It would be nice if the ferns in the pet area could be cut down, however that does detract from the stay. We will definitely consider this for future stays.
