About this property

Log Home On Wequas Lake, dog-friendly, free boats, fishing, swimming


  • The Wild Winds is a nature lover’s paradise all year round. We offer many trails for hiking and/or biking. Enjoy fishing, boating and relaxing on the lake and beach, just steps from your rustic cabin. Or spend time at our private pond (actually a small lake) nestled in the woods, for swimming and canoeing. Or for a little more excitement the Wild Winds is only 7-8 Miles from world class golfing, shopping, restaurants and other sporting lakes. If you like to take short day trips you could go to Petoskey to see beautiful Lake Michigan, or spend your day at Mackinac Island.

    “Honeymoon" cabin has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 6-8,

    Our other vacation cabin is called “Junior” (VRBO 368462) The log homes are right on Wequas Lake, and our beautiful private lake is just a short walk into the woods.

    Both homes come equipped with satellite TV, washer, dryer, full kitchen and 1 bath. FREE Hi-SPEED INTERNET. The price is the same for either log home. In July and August we rent by the week (Saturday to Saturday) There is $100 cleaning fee, and well-behaved dogs are permitted for an additional fee.

    There are a total of four homes at the Wild Winds; the Lodge (where my niece lives), the Dorm (my house) and two vacation log homes.

    Thinking ahead to other seasons? The Wild Winds is a winter wonderland! Stay in this rustic, cozy log home at the Wild Winds that we call the “Junior” cabin (built in the 1950’s). Snowmobile trails start at the top of our driveway. Cross-country ski on our 70 acres of private trails, or visit groomed county trails only a couple of miles away. Ski downhill courses such as Treetops or Boyne Mountain, each only about half an hour away. Or simply enjoy the pristine beauty of our acres of pine forest in their winter frosting!

    There is room to park a trailer here.

This was a wonderful, peaceful experience for me and my dogs.The fact that it is pet friendly was the best part. It’s a great price. It’s unlikely that you’re going to find property on a lake this cheap anywhere else. The owners were great and truly care about your experience. If anything isn’t up to par, they will make sure to fix that immediately.The trails on the property are lovely. Would definitely stay again.

It is a rustic cabin in the woods. Were there bugs, yes. Cobwebs- Yes. But it was fully what I expected by the description and it met all our expectations. A perfect getaway. Close to town but far enough out the city noise was gone. We loved it.

Nature lovers paradise

We stayed at the wild winds for a week. It was a great property very secluded which we love but still very close to a lot of awesome stuff to do. It was a nature lovers paradise had lots of trails in the woods that were beautiful. We went to Torch lake, Lake Michigan and a bunch of other cool beaches all within a hour drive or you can just stay at the cabin and enjoy the beautiful Wequas lake right out your front door. The owner was very professional and great to work with. We will definitely be going back in the future.

Charming old home in the woods

We needed a place to relax after a day of snowmobiling in Gaylord and this home fit the bill perfectly. Spacious and charming it was like we were time-warped back to the 50's/60's. The original cabin, along with the addition, allowed the four of us plenty of room for sleeping and lounging. It was a pleasure to meet the owner and get the history of the property. He was very informative and easily accessible if needed. Our winter trip was awesome and I know we'll be back in the summer to enjoy the lake. Overall a great weekend in a great home!

My Vacation and it was GREAT!

The cabin was great. I want to explain that the cabin was rustic and in the middle of the woods. GREAT in my opinion. That means bugs and critters who also enjoy the woods. The owner were great. The owners were there to great us as soon as we arrive. Everything the web sight said was all true. Had a great vacation and we will be back. The only problem was we are a board gaming family and I suggest a little more lights but I will still come back. Thank you for a great time. Kim F Michigan

Snowmobile weekend

We had a great experience at the cabin. This is a rustic cabin with all the patina of its history. I grew up going to a cabin just like this. The host was very accommodating, making sure the house was warm when we arrived at 1:00am in the morning. There was plenty of parking for sleds and trailers. Trail head was at the end of the drive. If you want a place that's warm, comfortable, and to relax with your friends, you have a great place. If you have issues the family is close by to help out in any way they can. This is what I expect of a well mature northern Michigan cabin. We will stay there again, as long as the snow holds out for the season. Being off the beaten path gives you a nice seclusion from the hotel scene. Was a great time. Appreciated all your help Rokko.

Great location.....but

The location of the cabin was great. Very secluded and peaceful. The cabin however was very questionable. The cabin clearly has a mold issue that you can smell. There were cobwebs all over the place and it just seemed dirty. I have 6 kids and a dog, and my house is cleaner. It's just not what you'd expect from a vrbo rental that you pay a cleaning fee for. Not tall person friendly. 6ft doorways. Hit my head several times even with ducking. At the end of the day, it's a cabin in the woods and not a hotel. Owner was very nice! Cabin just needs some attention.

Rustic cabin with nice trails

It was nice to get away from home, however there were a few things we didn’t love. The cabin is rustic, which we are perfectly ok with, however it definitely hadn’t been cleaned in some time. A lot of dust, cobwebs in doorways, and dried food on the table cloth. The property itself could be amazing and beautiful, however there are numerous piles of trash, cans, old building supplies, etc. From the description it sounded like there was just one other rental nearby however, there are 2 cabins that the family lives in there as well, which was fine. We had our privacy. We did enjoy the trails to walk our dogs and the direct TV. There is zero Verizon cell service and no WiFi, which again we were ok with. Just making others aware as the description does list WiFi as an amenity.

A short but very pleasant gateway. We really enjoyed the location. The cabin had everything we needed, the lake and outside landscapes were just stunning. Unfortunately it was too windy and chilly to enjoy boats and swimming, hopefully we’ll return one day. Thanks for hosting us!

We stayed for just four days last year and loved it so much we added a few days for this year. I have now made my reservations for next year and we are adding more days. The cabin if beautiful, the folks are friendly and helpful. I love this place and we will continue to come as long as it is available. Thank you Rokko:)
