About this property

Grand Traverse County Cabin in the Woods-WINTER WONDERLAND-Close to VASA trail

SKI-SNOWMOBILE-SNOW SHOE-LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL SNOW TO ENJOY!!

Enjoy this cozy cabin in the woods. Nestled in the red pines just minutes from Traverse City. Appreciate all that the seasons have to offer with family and friends. Relax by the outdoor fire pit or enjoy the beautiful lakes nearby. The Northern Michigan night sky offers an amazing view of the Milky Way and even an occasional display of the Northern Lights. Unplug and enjoy the woodlands and when you want to reconnect with the outside world there is wireless internet and a 60" tv, or take time for a game of shuffleboard. Freestanding fireplace gives a relaxing glow while watching the beautiful sunsets. One mile to ORV, snowmobile and equestrian trails. Close to the TART biking and hiking trails, 18 hole disk golf course, lakes, casinos, wineries and shopping. Pets are welcome for a small additional fee.

MichiganScapes Photography Weekend Workshop

The Hodge Lodge was the perfect place to lay our heads after long days and nights exploring northern Michigan to photograph the landscape and night skies. We met Wayne and Teri upon arriving, and they were always quick to respond to questions or needs. They thought of everything we could want or need for our stay including homemade cherry salsa from their garden and s‘mores kits for the fire. The decor in Hodge Lodge was meticulously curated and fun to look at. We enjoyed editing photos by the indoor fire. The beds were very comfortable. We will be back!

Extremely clean and welcoming cabin. The property is beautiful. Great bonfire setup with string lights that adds a great touch. Beds are very comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for our daughter and her best friend. Pictures do not do the cabin justice. We really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect cottage in the woods

Our stay was absolutely fantastic, we had a great time with our four year old and it was a peaceful jumping off spot for all of our up north adventures. We would definitely stay again and share the listing with friends looking for a low key up north adventure.

Relaxing and Fun

Spent a couple of days with the family visiting some parks and playing some disc golf nearby also took the short drive to Traverse City.. It was the perfect location for us. The property was very well kept and had everything we needed. Loved the feel of the place, being tucked into the trees. It's a quite and peaceful paradise. It was the escape I was looking for. Would definetely recommend and would stay again when visiting the area. Thanks for letting us stay at the Hodge Lodge Wayne.

Slightly Hidden Gem, Awesome Stay with a great decor

We were in area for a softball tournament and wanted a place that was not in a cramp hotel for me, my wife and our 4 children. This place is beautifully decorated and very inviting. The location is away from the road giving a great quiet place to relax after a long day at the ball field. The beds were comfortable, and everything is provided right down to the smores for the fire. Our kids loved it. The owners were great, and we will defiantly look at staying here in the future if it is available. Enjoy your stay!
