Relaxing stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a relaxing break between the chaotic holidays. The cabin had all the amenities we needed. Beds were comfortable, hot tub was hot, view was lovely. The cabin's close proximity to skiing, snow boarding, hiking locations gave everyone options for enjoying the outdoors.

Cute cabin

My husband and I stayed here for a short anniversary weekend get away. The cabin was perfect. The view was nice, the hotub was an added bonus! We brought our fishing boat and went fishing. The area is so pretty and nice and quite. The cabin was clean and cozy. We definitely will be back. Maybe next time for snowmobiling.

Great bachelor's weekend

What a beautiful location right on the lake. We had a bachelor party weekend in northern Michigan and we couldn't of been happier with the property. If you love to golf you are surrounded by beautiful golf courses and then in the evening you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the lake. The beds where okay and I would recommend no more than 5 adults or it becomes crowded. Hot tub worked perfectly and the kayaks are an amazing plus. If we're in the area again we will definitely be saying at this location.

Lots to do!

We had a great time at Wolves Den! We enjoyed fishing and kayaking everyday. We also loved sitting around the bonfire. The kids enjoyed swimming, although it was a little mucky. We had water shoes, so not a big deal. The basketball net, community pool, and pickleball courts were a hit. The cottage itself is very nice and had a great view of the lake. Everything we needed was available to have a great vacation!

Cozy Cabin for New Year's Eve

We had a wonderful time celebrating New Year's Eve at the Wolves Den! It was so clean, tidy and well appointed. Even though there were just two of us the home is plenty large enough for even 8 people! We appreciated all of the extra bath towels and hot tub towels. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer to heat our towels up for the cold wintry nights before heading outside to stare at the stars or watch it snow in the hot tub. It has great wi-fi and satellite TV to watch the BIG MICHIGAN game as well and a super cool old school radio tuner that we had a lot of fun listening to! The grill was a nice addition and we had a beautiful campfire one evening down by the frozen lake! The management team is outstanding and responded very quickly with any questions. We highly recommend and will be returning again one day!

Great communication by host Nicole

My husband, our two grown sons and I got away for a few days of fishing. My son had stayed at this listing years ago and wanted to return. Cottage was a great size, and clean. The host was very quick to respond to questions following the tornado that affected nearby Gaylord, but this cottage had no damage. At the last minute I contacted the host again and was very happy to learn there were two kayaks that are offered free to use during the stay and came in handy for fishing.
