About this cabin rental
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.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).
“Junior’ cabin has 2 all-season bedrooms and a 3-season back bedroom and sleeps 7-11, and it has a fireplace!
Thinking ahead to other seasons?
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.
Our other vacation cabin is called “Honeymoon” (VRBO 298533) 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.

Charming cabin right by the lake! We took the boats out, sat by the fire at night, played board games and enjoyed some hikes around Gaylord. The property had all we needed to prepare meals. The host was extremely accommodating, quick to reply and even helpful to mail us an item we forgot at the house.

Rokko (my host) was amazing and very flexible to work with. He communicated well and answered all of my questions. I loved the fact that the place is pet friendly and I cant wait to visit more. Definitely recommend. Excellent customer service!!

Beautiful spot hidden away on the lake. Lots of great places to enjoy nature right on the property!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
It was quiet for the most part and off the beaten path. All the appliances worked, except the coffee maker took a long time to brew.Our main concern was the complete lack of working smoke detectors, loose electrical outlets, and the general maintenance of the cabin. We weren't staying in the winter, but I don't think we would have felt safe using the fireplace. There was soot up the front and on the ceiling. Also, there was previous water damage apparent on the ceiling in the living room and big felt sheets covering the ceiling in the sun room off the deck.Although it was advertised as having use of boats, a fire pit, and lake access, that was not exactly the case. There is no beach area. The fire ring was rusted out. There was mention of a boat we could use if we wanted, but we would have to venture onto the back of a relative's property to retrieve it. Nothing was said about any life vests. The owners were friendly and kind to us. Just know what you are signing up for.
