About this property

Beautiful Historic Farmsuite in the Manistee National Forest

Our 120 year old farm on 77 acres in the Manistee Forest has been lovingly renovated so we can welcome guests to this beautiful area. Outdoor activities abound with ORV trails, snowmobile trails, hiking and biking trails, kayaking, boating, and fishing opportunities, golf, hunting in the adjacent Manistee National Forest, and more are all either next to the property or within a 15 minute ride away. For snow machine enthusiasts you can bring your trailers, park them at the farm during your stay and ride from our property all the way to Traverse City using the numerous trails in the area. Caberfae Peaks is only 20 minutes away and Crystal Mountain is 35 minutes away if you are a skier or snowboarder. The historic farmhouse (our home) is connected to the farmsuite which sleeps up to 8 guests. Guests have plenty of relaxing space with the two main floor bedrooms and one oversized bedroom upstairs. Brand new mini split air conditioning and heat provide comfortable temperatures year round in every room. Guests are welcome to use the large decks, gazebo with picnic table, and the firepit area. Trails and wildlife galore are on the property and on the state land (Manistee National Forest) that abuts the farm. If you love peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, this is the place for you!
Beautiful and clean Dayhuff Lake is a half mile down the road should you want to swim, fish, or kayak. The Manistee River isn’t far away and there are numerous kayak and canoe rental facilities within 20 minutes of the farmsuite. The decor in the suite is unique and special to the property and features steam engine and train items from when there was a hobby railroad on the property. There are also other framed vintage items pertinent to the property and area. You won't find anything else like this lovingly restored farmsuite!


Guests will be required to sign a short term rental agreement after booking.

A cozy place tucked in the country

What a lovely, comfortable “home” to stay in! There were plenty of blankets for a chilly night, clean lodging, activities such as puzzles and games, and much more! We enjoyed the covered propane fire pit on a rainy evening. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Lovely place

Everybody in our group thought this property was very lovely. We would all like to come back and explore the region some more. It is very much in the country, but that's what we all liked about it. The farm suite was comfortable and cute and great for our needs. The check-in process was easy, and the hosts made you feel welcome.

Peaceful and Relaxing

We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. It was our first visit to Northern Michigan and it was one we won't forget. The accommodations were exactly as described and our hosts made sure we had everything we needed. The property was perfect for a family getaway...away from electronics and the general busy-ness that comes with three teenagers. Wonderful stay and wonderful hosts.

Cute Getaway

We stayed in this house for the weekend as we attended the Buckley Steam Engine Festival. The owners were very welcoming. The house is very cute and we enjoyed walking the spacious grounds and saw many animal tracks and spotted deer eating apples off the trees in the backyard one morning. This house is located on a nice, country dirt road, so it was pleasantly calm and quiet there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,

Perfect location for our favorite spots!

We had such a great time at our recent stay! Our schedule was fairly busy, so we would have loved to explore the property more than we were able to do so on this trip. We had 4 adults and 1 infant child in our group, but there was room for more. We didn’t use the upstairs at all. While there was only one bathroom, the shower was in a separate room from the toilet and sink which allowed multiple people to get ready at the same time. Everything was clean and orderly. The property was within an hour of some of our favorite place to visit. Would stay here again without hesitation!

Perfect Cozy Place for Annual Ski Trip

The property and owners were amazing. Pam made sure to reach out plenty in advance and share all the necessary details. The property itself has plenty of parking and is about 25 minutes away from Caberfae peaks where we went skiing. Its close to Cadillac which has several options for food, grocery, and entertainment. The property owners also own a local general store just a few minutes from the property that has pizza and necessities. Our favorite part of the trip were the homemade cookies Pam had left us and all the small, welcoming details of the property.

Excellent rental home

The layout of this rental is unusual but everything was very nice. Bedrooms were roomy and welcoming. Sugar cookies as a welcome treat were outstanding. Seating in living room is limited. I suggest removing bike table and adding a couple of chairs with small stand in the middle. Huge and lovely deck. We will be back.

Great farmhouse in a central location

This is our second stay at the farmhouse with a friend and cousin. We hiked last year on the Manistee River and kayaked it this year along with the Pine River. The accommodations are excellent and work perfect for the 3 of us. There are trails on the property as well and it is located in the country. The owners live on site in the same house, but you wouldn’t know it. For us, it’s nice knowing they are there and in fact they helped us fix our trailer. We were also able to leave our kayaks without worrying about them getting stolen.

Perfect little farmhouse

The farmhouse was cozy & had a lot of cool history hanging throughout. We didn’t get a chance to walk the trails or spend time in the huge patio but it looked so peaceful. There is only one toilet, the listing stated 2 bathrooms so I assumed 2 toilets. Very clean. Pam & her daughter were super nice the 3 times we stopped into their store for supplies. The homemade pulled pork was amazing. And I agree with Pam’s daughter, Pam needs to bottle her BBQ sauce & sell it!

Wonderful!

Owners are amazing with great communication. We were dumped on with quite a bit of snow the day we arrived and NEVER had an issue as the driveway/walkways were constantly plowed/shoveled. Property was breath taking inside and out. The owners (and their kids) are so friendly that we all feel we have new friends up north! General Party Store is about a mile away with AMAZING FOOD!!!! Couldn't be happier with our stay!

Spent New Years Eve here at the Wildwood Farm. Had a great little visit and it was a very welcoming farm. Pam and Ken were great hosts. This easily accommodated 4 adults and 4 kids in this cozy spot up north. We did some cross country skiing and a night hike on their property's trails. We'll definitely be coming back.
