Luxury Custom Built Log Cabin with indoor pool and spa on Lake Michigamme

If you book with us from now until December 31, 2025, you will receive $200.00 off your stay with a minimum of three nights.
*****SNOWMOBILE TRAILS ARE OPEN AND GROOMED*****
You are surrounded in overwhelming beauty from every angle of our cabin. Through the large windows you can see one of Michigan's largest inlet lake, Michigamme, which is just shy of 4300 acres, with depths up to 70 feet deep and has 27 islands on it.

It is great for swimming, boating and fishing or you can walk down to the water and enjoy our 340 feet of water front. Our family- friendly cabin features all the amenities you can find at any resort. It sleeps 8 people comfortably. As soon as you walk in the front door, you will be wowed by the over-sized logs through out the cabin.

We have unique hour glassed shaped entry ways and a beautiful curved staircase leading up to the loft area with a tree as a post. It is a great focal point in the home. Our in-door pool, hot tub and sauna will allow you to relax at any hour of the day. The custom Tuki Hut has 3 stools. There are 2 lounge chairs so you can watch your children have fun or just relax for yourself. There are two bedrooms with queen size beds and two sofa beds that can sleep the extra guests. The master bedroom features an on suite with a custom designed shower and large heated soaker tub for those quiet nights you wish to have.

You can also enjoy the scenery from the balcony off the master suite. You can sit down on the two rocking chairs and enjoy your morning coffee. The gourmet kitchen has everything you need to make that perfect meal with a table that seats 8 people. The hliving area features a large wood burning fireplace for those chilly nights. The television over the fireplace has direct TV so you can watch your favorite movies and shows available for your stay. Please feel free to bring all the movies you would like for family entertainment, we have two DVD players for you to use.

The front porch has a large overhang so you can sit outside in any element and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. There is an outdoor fire pit, outdoor kitchen with gas grill and a charcoal BBQ for your enjoyment. The outdoor space is all grass. We have provide a walking path that leads right down to the dock for access to swimming, fishing and boat docking.
For the protection and privacy (would be tresspassers) there is a security gate with a security camera located in eye's view. This is for your peace mind so no one will disrupt your stay at Wolf Lake Lodge. We also placed 4 other visible exterior cameras, by fire pit, carport, front door and by the dock. This is so the guest's outdoor vechicals and recreational vechicals are protected at all times in the event that a would be trespasser comes uninvited and interupts your much needed vacation. We would like to also inform each and everyone of our guests that there are absolutely no interior cameras located inside the cabin or looking into the cabin. We do have a panic button located in the laundry room of the cabin, linked directly to our monitering team as well as the Michigan state Police. We take great pride in ensuring our guests and their loved ones are protected during your stay.

For your larger motorized water vehicles there is access to the lake at Van Riper State Park, which you passed upon arriving from highway 41. If you love the winter sports there are well maintained trails for snow mobilizers and people who like to quad. Right down the road from us is Van Riper State Park, they offer camping and beach/boat access if you desire it.

Thirty miles east of us is the great town of Marquette which lays upon the shores of Lake Superior. It is a beautiful town with small shopping malls, a Walmart, Lowes, Target, several grocery stores, bakeries, farmers market, Walgreens, hotels, fine dining along the water as well as fast food, drinking establishments and a movie theater.

If you like golfing Marquette has three beautiful golf courses. Whatever your pleasure, you will surely find what you need. There is also an International airport and well equipped teaching hospital. We have a local gas/grocery/ party store 20 minutes away from the property in Ispheming. You can get both diesel and regular gas at this location. If travelling further east you will come to a town called Munising here you can take a tour of the famous Pictured Rocks and there are beautiful.

For the ski lovers we have Marquette Mountain which has 23 different runs and trails from easy to difficult depending on your level. It is about one hour from our home. Marquette also has beautifully groomed snowmobile trails that go for miles. You do not even need to load your snowmobile up on a trailer to reach the trails. Just follow your way up to the State Park at the beginning of Holli Blue Road and the trails begin there. Please go onto Marquette Snowmobile Trails for a full sized map of our trails. We have two sets of snowshoes for your enjoyment to travel through our woods.

Right off our property you can also enjoy ice-fishing. We have bass, walleye, northern pike and many other types of fish right in our own lake. If you love the fall colors, there are many different tours you can take. They have 165 miles of beautiful scenery for you to see.You can also enjoy the fall colors right on the property. We have a variety of animals right on the property. (deer, moose, black bear and other small game) unfortunately there is no hunting on our property at anytime. There is hunting in the surrounding areas.

In the Spring time you can sit back and enjoy everything coming to life once again. For the bird lovers we have a large amount of birds you can watch right on the front porch. We have a bald eagle that makes his home on our 100 year old pine tree.

No matter what time of the year you come, there is something for everyone.

Snowmobiling Adventure

We had a group of 7 retirees staying at the Wolf Lake Lodge for a weekend of snowmobiling. The log home is beautiful and was furnished with everything we needed. Sleeping arrangements were a bit cramped since we had 3 singles in our group, this was not a surprise. Hanging all of our gear was also challenging, there is a lack of hooks and areas suitable for a group our size. The snowmobile trail access was about 7 miles by plowed rode. It’s a beautiful ride, but would be a problem with a warm-up. It snowed nearly the entire time we were there, and the trails were fantastic. Parking is difficult with a larger trailer. We easily parked 2 small trailers by the home. We managed to park 1 large trailer just outside the gate. We would definitely come back, but with a smaller group next time.

A Northwoods Paradise

Do not hesitate to book! This may be the most special property we have ever stayed in the U.S. The owners have built a secluded oasis that will take your breath away. The attention to detail is second to none, and at every turn, something else just grabs your eye and makes you say well done. The log home is simply beautiful. The amenities are spot on, and virtually nothing forgotten. We had the pleasure of staying 3 nights, and during that time, we never heard a sound of the world. Honestly, not a car, airplane, highway sound, nothing. The only sound we heard was wind, water, rain...and silence. Oh, that sweet sound of silence. The jacuzzi, sauna and pool were incredible, and is there really anything better than listening to a fire, the only light, that of the dancing flames? Honestly, do not ever hesitate to book with these fine people. It has been a crazy year, and this was the perfect way to reconnect and rediscover. This was paradise. I've seen several reviews where people complained about this and that, silly things, like there's a giant cross in the living room. Rest easy, it's not giant, it's the same size most of us grew up with in our homes, and it's actually very nice to see that there are those amongst us still living the way they believe without fear of offending others. Follow their very simple rules, respect their property, take time to clear your mind and just breathe, and you too will fall in love with the world again. Thank you so much T & M!!

Beautiful Solitude

This is a beautiful and peaceful setting and an amazing cabin. Definitely a remote location, but with an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna there is everything you need to just sit back, relax and recharge and, the dock offers the ability to try your hand at fishing or just enjoy sitting in the sun. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a luxurious cabin experience. Owners were very prompt to respond to any questions we had during our stay. We will definitely return.

Family Vacation

This cabin was amazing! First, prompt is an understatement to describe how fast the owners will get back to you if you have any problems, no matter how small and they are extremely thorough in making sure the problem gets solved! The pool and hot tub room were a special extra that we loved using to spend more time as a family just relaxing. We spent a lot of time on the dock enjoying the incredible view and the lake water was warm and a nice depth to be able to enjoy while still being able to touch the bottom. Everything about this cabin was wonderful and relaxing. It is quite a ways from sight seeing, however, I think everything is pretty spread out in the UP so it was not an inconvenience to us at all. We just took our time and enjoyed ourselves. The internet was a little spotty but again, you are in the middle of amazing wilderness and on vacation so it didn't bother us but if you are needing to work or something, it is just something to be aware of. This cabin had everything we needed to be able to relax and recharge! We will definitely be back!

Jaw Dropping

This property is AMAZING! From start to finish, this was by far the best vacation and best rental we have stayed at. Tim and Melanie are so kind. The house is like a dream come true, from the gate opening, to the parking pad, to the porches, to the dock & lake, to the pool room. Everything is just as listed. Hosts had great communication. It was like living as royalty for a week. My mother wants to buy some of the same decorations, like the lights to the dock and the kitchen lights. We explored the area, UP is just magical. I am so glad we made the drive there, so many treasures, especially this home. We are already planning to return!

The dock area is great for boats, OK for swimming (you do also have an indoor pool) as it's fairly shallow around the dock (<4' deep). Two boats could easily dock here.

Amazingly peaceful stay

My husband, our 2 children and myself stayed at the property as part of our spring break. This place is awesome! This has got to be the most luxurious cabin we have ever stayed in. The pool/hot tub area was wonderfully maintained and the pool was warm upon our arrival. Plenty of firewood was provided and we used the indoor fireplace daily. Ample cooking supplies were provided, even skewers for smores which I had forgotten. The grounds and lake were expansive and private. Mr. and Mrs. Hockaday were wonderful host, very informative and knowledgeable. We look forward to saying again in the summer.

All I can say is WOW! This cottage was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful and quiet, just what our little family needed. It was a bit rainy the first day but luckily we had no plans for the day and plenty to do inside. Our 4 year old LOVED the pool room! The covered patio was also nice to be able to still sit outside and enjoy the beautiful fall colors and cool breeze. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely go back again!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Hockaday & Melanie Wright-Hockaday

Host profile image
My wife and I spent our fondest memories as children at our families' cottages. So we built our cabin to reflect what we have always loved "The Great Outdoors" We are both orginally from Canada but have since built ours lives in both USA and Canada.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because of it's over whelming beauty. It is set on a private road, therefore it allows us the privacy we want when we wish. It is on Michigan's Upper Peninsula's largest inland lake so we can enjoy all the amenties this lake has to offer. It also lets us enjoy the winter sports we love so much right out our front door.

What makes this property unique

We built this home very customed to the lifestyles we enjoy so much. Every square inch of our home was designed with bringing the indoors and outdoors together.
