About this property

Luxury Custom Built Log Cabin with indoor pool and spa on Lake Michigamme


You are surrounded in overwhelming beauty from every angle of our cabin. Through the large windows you can see one of Michigan's largest inlet lake, Michigamme, which is just shy of 4300 acres, with depths up to 70 feet deep and has 27 islands on it.

It is great for swimming, boating and fishing or you can walk down to the water and enjoy our 340 feet of water front. Our family- friendly cabin features all the amenities you can find at any resort. It sleeps 8 people comfortably. As soon as you walk in the front door, you will be wowed by the over-sized logs through out the cabin.

We have unique hour glassed shaped entry ways and a beautiful curved staircase leading up to the loft area with a tree as a post. It is a great focal point in the home. Our in-door pool, hot tub and sauna will allow you to relax at any hour of the day. The custom Tuki Hut has 3 stools. There are 2 lounge chairs so you can watch your children have fun or just relax for yourself. There are two bedrooms with queen size beds and two sofa beds that can sleep the extra guests. The master bedroom features an on suite with a custom designed shower and large heated soaker tub for those quiet nights you wish to have.

You can also enjoy the scenery from the balcony off the master suite. You can sit down on the two rocking chairs and enjoy your morning coffee. The gourmet kitchen has everything you need to make that perfect meal with a table that seats 8 people. The hliving area features a large wood burning fireplace for those chilly nights. The television over the fireplace has direct TV so you can watch your favorite movies and shows available for your stay. Please feel free to bring all the movies you would like for family entertainment, we have two DVD players for you to use.

The front porch has a large overhang so you can sit outside in any element and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. There is an outdoor fire pit, outdoor kitchen with gas grill and a charcoal BBQ for your enjoyment. The outdoor space is all grass. We have provide a walking path that leads right down to the dock for access to swimming, fishing and boat docking.
For the protection and privacy (would be tresspassers) there is a security gate with a security camera located in eye's view. This is for your peace mind so no one will disrupt your stay at Wolf Lake Lodge. We also placed 4 other visible exterior cameras, by fire pit, carport, front door and by the dock. This is so the guest's outdoor vechicals and recreational vechicals are protected at all times in the event that a would be trespasser comes uninvited and interupts your much needed vacation. We would like to also inform each and everyone of our guests that there are absolutely no interior cameras located inside the cabin or looking into the cabin. We do have a panic button located in the laundry room of the cabin, linked directly to our monitering team as well as the Michigan state Police. We take great pride in ensuring our guests and their loved ones are protected during your stay.

For your larger motorized water vehicles there is access to the lake at Van Riper State Park, which you passed upon arriving from highway 41. If you love the winter sports there are well maintained trails for snow mobilizers and people who like to quad. Right down the road from us is Van Riper State Park, they offer camping and beach/boat access if you desire it.

Thirty miles east of us is the great town of Marquette which lays upon the shores of Lake Superior. It is a beautiful town with small shopping malls, a Walmart, Lowes, Target, several grocery stores, bakeries, farmers market, Walgreens, hotels, fine dining along the water as well as fast food, drinking establishments and a movie theater.

If you like golfing Marquette has three beautiful golf courses. Whatever your pleasure, you will surely find what you need. There is also an International airport and well equipped teaching hospital. We have a local gas/grocery/ party store 20 minutes away from the property in Ispheming. You can get both diesel and regular gas at this location. If travelling further east you will come to a town called Munising here you can take a tour of the famous Pictured Rocks and there are beautiful.

For the ski lovers we have Marquette Mountain which has 23 different runs and trails from easy to difficult depending on your level. It is about one hour from our home. Marquette also has beautifully groomed snowmobile trails that go for miles. You do not even need to load your snowmobile up on a trailer to reach the trails. Just follow your way up to the State Park at the beginning of Holli Blue Road and the trails begin there. Please go onto Marquette Snowmobile Trails for a full sized map of our trails. We have two sets of snowshoes for your enjoyment to travel through our woods.

Right off our property you can also enjoy ice-fishing. We have bass, walleye, northern pike and many other types of fish right in our own lake. If you love the fall colors, there are many different tours you can take. They have 165 miles of beautiful scenery for you to see.You can also enjoy the fall colors right on the property. We have a variety of animals right on the property. (deer, moose, black bear and other small game) unfortunately there is no hunting on our property at anytime. There is hunting in the surrounding areas.

In the Spring time you can sit back and enjoy everything coming to life once again. For the bird lovers we have a large amount of birds you can watch right on the front porch. We have a bald eagle that makes his home on our 100 year old pine tree.

No matter what time of the year you come, there is something for everyone.

Great time, beautiful views
We came here for mother's day and really enjoyed the cabin. You can see all hard work put into this home, and ot had everything you could possibly need. The views were amazing, and the pool was fun! Owners are easy to communicate with, and a joy to talk to.

Amazingly peaceful stay
My husband, our 2 children and myself stayed at the property as part of our spring break. This place is awesome! This has got to be the most luxurious cabin we have ever stayed in. The pool/hot tub area was wonderfully maintained and the pool was warm upon our arrival. Plenty of firewood was provided and we used the indoor fireplace daily. Ample cooking supplies were provided, even skewers for smores which I had forgotten. The grounds and lake were expansive and private. Mr. and Mrs. Hockaday were wonderful host, very informative and knowledgeable. We look forward to saying again in the summer.

Relaxing Oasis
All I can say is WOW! This cottage was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful and quiet, just what our little family needed. It was a bit rainy the first day but luckily we had no plans for the day and plenty to do inside. Our 4 year old LOVED the pool room! The covered patio was also nice to be able to still sit outside and enjoy the beautiful fall colors and cool breeze. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely go back again!

Family get together
Beautiful cabin and beautiful surroundings! Everything we needed to enjoy our stay was there. The pool area was amazing and the overall stay was an at home feeling. Our plans changed a little at the end and we had some family that was staying at Van riper state park come the last day. We decided to renew our wedding vows. We left everything as it was when we arrived! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place. 5 stars from us!

Perfect spot for tranquility and quiet
Great property; cottage is incredibly clean and in a beautiful spot. The kitchen has all things needed to make a meal and the outdoor grill space is perfect. The pool, hot tub and sauna are great after a long day exploring. We wish we would have been able to see a moose. Loved our stay. Thanks!

Truly amazing property to make memories with your family
We have stayed quite a few places, but nothing compares to this property. The owners have done an amazing job with little touches that makes your vacation effortlessly easy and relaxing. We had four adults and a five year old in our party. Again, enough cannot be said about the care in which the owners express through the little touches, but also the welcome phone call to walk through the elements of the property. The pool, sauna, and hot tub were amazing. The kitchen and outdoor kitchen were my personal favorite. The dock and amount of seating options around the property and inside truly give everyone in your party an opportunity to catch a breathtaking view of the water. Inside, the decor and facilities were just amazing. The showers were inviting, and our little one loved the whirlpool upstairs. If you have the opportunity to stay, do it. Bring your family. We have built so many now cherished memories together from our stay. Special thank you to the owners!! JGK and family.

Perfect getaway deep in the woods. Wish we would have stayed during warmer summer months to appreciate the pier and outdoors. Spring break getaway with family, loved the pool room and authentic log cabin. Pics don’t do this place justice, just gorgeous. 15 min drive off main road in state park, truly remote and majestic views of lake and wildlife. Unplug and unwind and book your trip today!

GAS LEAK/REFUSAL TO REIMBURSE - AVOID THIS PREDATORY HOST AT ALL COSTS
Absolute worst holiday rental experience of my life. Admittedly there were a number of red flags to start, but the beauty of the cabin/property seemed to outweigh my concerns. HUGE mistake. After getting a 30-40 minute lecture of how the host typically does not rent to same sex groups (?), I was told that he still would "prefer not to cancel the reservation." As I would automatically lose half of our money, I could not afford to cancel on our end. So we arrived on the property on Thursday and by Friday morning, the heat seemed to be lacking. We attempted to shower and noted that there was zero hot water in the entire house. I contacted the host who asked that I check the breaker, no luck. After I was directed to crawl UNDER the house and check the water heater, I informed him that the error code read that there was no incoming gas. We also then noted that the gas stove/oven did not work. He sent out someone to look. At this time, we left the property to go to lunch. Upon returning we were informed that there had been a GAS LEAK overnight. That really should have been the end of it right there, but he informed us that "the leak had not been in the house." Mind you, we are stuck in the middle of nowhere in 20F Michigan winter weather with no heat, no hot water, no major kitchen appliances. We have no where to go. A refund was discussed at that time over phone only as the host will REFUSE to discuss anything over text or Vrbo app (convenient on his part). We were then informed that we would have to build a fire to heat the house the rest of the stay and that if we did so, a refund would be applied for 3 nights. He offered this on a future stay, but we insisted that it be applied to our current one. As we had no where else to go and were 7 hours from home, we complied and stayed on the property with the understanding that we would only pay for one night. By Saturday night, we had complete radio silence from the host when inquiring about our refund/when it would be applied. We attempted to call again on Sunday and Monday as we attempted check out. We cleaned up best we could, doused the fire and left the property. Vrbo was contacted. Basically this terrible host has now REFUSED ANY SORT OF REFUND AND ALSO IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE US $550 ADDITIONAL FOR SOME ERRONEOUS "DAMAGE CHARGE." We will be seeking legal action against this host for violation of contract (unsafe space) and exposing us to dangerous living conditions. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS HOST.

My wife and I had the most amazing time at your cabin. It meet all of our expectations and more. We didn’t get to use all of the amenities since there was over 2.5 feet of snow, but nether the less the house was perfect. The Hockadays definitely thought of everything when building this cabin which makes it worth every penny.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Hockaday & Melanie Wright-Hockaday

Host profile image
My wife and I spent our fondest memories as children at our families' cottages. So we built our cabin to reflect what we have always loved "The Great Outdoors" We are both orginally from Canada but have since built ours lives in both USA and Canada.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because of it's over whelming beauty. It is set on a private road, therefore it allows us the privacy we want when we wish. It is on Michigan's Upper Peninsula's largest inland lake so we can enjoy all the amenties this lake has to offer. It also lets us enjoy the winter sports we love so much right out our front door.

What makes this property unique

We built this home very customed to the lifestyles we enjoy so much. Every square inch of our home was designed with bringing the indoors and outdoors together.
