About this property

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.

“Junior’ cabin has 2 all-season bedrooms and a 3-season back bedroom and sleeps 7-11, and it has a fireplace!

Our other vacation cabin is calle “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.

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.

Not what we expected!!!

The fireplace was nice. The washer and dryer worked refrigerator and stove worked. 3 of the 5 beds had mouse droppings between the sheets. The king bed had a spot on the sheet, that washed out when we washed it, so obviously those sheets had not been washed from the previous guests. been w

Relaxing!

Great location. We spent a fun week at this lakeside cabin. We enjoyed the water, the fishing, and the trails. The owner and his family were very nice. The cabin did have a lot of spiders, which our girls didn't like.

Waquas lake stay June 15 to 22, 2024

The cottage was a rustic dwelling that was very peaceful and off the beaten path on a calm and tranquil lake. Plenty of room for five adults Bedrooms, kitchen and living area was large enough for our group. I especially liked the deck facing the lake for reading and relaxing. I would recommend adding some additional screens to the windows that did not have screens for summer ventilation.

rustic cabin in nature

Our stay was both really peaceful and invigorating to be immersed in so much nature. I loved the hiking trails on the property and rowing on the lake. The local area has a lot of outdoor activities to offer and Rokko's cabin was a great place to stay.

Owners greeted us on arrival, very friendly people

We stayed over the New Year. Beautiful place to stay. Great view of the lake. The owner gave us very easy directions to follow to get there. Very quiet and cozy place to stay. Not to mention New Year's Eve it snowed maybe over 5 inches which was amazing.

Quiet cabin on a small lake

Our boys had a 3 on 3 tournament and they wanted something to do in their down time so they wanted fishing. They had a great time and the property owners were great and very helpful, especially when my son hooked his finger good and needed a decent pair of snips to cut the hook, and even though we woke them up for help- they were so kind. The cabin was older and outdated, not sure if there was a way to lock up the cabin… The cabin needs thicker window curtains for privacy. It had plenty of room and a grill to use kitchen had sufficient kitchenware to use.. Our kids enjoyed themselves, I would probably stay again if I find myself in Gaylord in the future. Location was great, they had boats to use, kayaks, row boats, and paddle boats.

A nice rustic getawy near Gaylord

This worked well for us. We came up north for a skiing weekend, and Rokko's place worked well. Gaylord was close enough to run in for meals, and the cabin was a good fit for what we wanted.

Great stay!

This is a nature lover’s dream cabin! My kids loved the lake for the paddle boating, canoeing, row boating, fishing and gorgeous sunsets. Rokko is a great host and incredibly talented musician/pianist; We were lucky enough to be around when he was practicing. Great spot to take day trips to Mackinaw, Traverse City, Petoskey, and Charlevoix. We definitely will be back.

great log cabin!

It was a quaint little cabin on the lake. The cabin had plenty of places to sleep. The beds were comfortable & kitchen had alot of utensils for fixing dinners for a larger group. The water pressure was great for being a rural cabin with plenty of hot water! The owner & family members were very friendly. It was a great place on the deck to see the sunsets! Great time!
