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.

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!

Reservations set for next year!

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:)

Beautiful and private lake front property

We stayed at the "honeymoon" cabin for two days and enjoyed every bit of our stay. The owner has had the property in his family for decades and knows the property very well. We really enjoyed using the paddle boats and canoes for no extra charge. The sunsets over the lake were amazing. We saw lots of wild life and enjoyed fires in the evening. We highly recommend this VRBO. My only advice is bring some bug spray to keep the bugs at bay.

Rustic Cabin

Very rustic cabin, but comfortable and welcoming. This cabin is quite close to other cabins but we had plenty of privacy. Owners allowed us to fish, have a bonfire, and light fireworks on the 4th of July. The owners dog, Gunner, ran around and kept us company. Extremely accommodating when I asked for extra day and extra person staying with us. Only downside was lack of cooking utensils, hand soap, and no paper towels/trash bags. I would definitely add a few more outdoor chairs since this cabin accommodates 9 people and only had 4 outside chairs.

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!

Lake Wequas log cabin

Beautiful surroundings, extremely rustic and very peaceful. Property owner and occupants very friendly. Shallow lakes for row boating and canoeing, not great for fishing. Property cluttered with various assortment of debris. Cabin neglected and in disrepair. The surrounding property has beautiful and well maintained trails. In total, the old cabin has much potential with some love and rehab.
