The property was very quiet and owner was helpful and friendly when arriving. It was kind of weird that the owners house is about 10 feet away from the rental cabin. The outside area/grounds were very messy - old vehicles, sofa, trash, kids toys everywhere. The first night we were there it began to rain during the night and then we heard dripping the roof was leaking in several spots in the master bedroom. We were told just to put bowls under it. it rained for 2 days. We looked outside and noticed the roof was not even shingled/completed and in one of the area that it was leaking had been leaking previously because it had black mold on the ceiling and the ceiling was sagging there. There were a few other spots in the ceiling that were sagging as well in the living area. Kitchen has limited items to use there was not even a can opener. The beds were comfortable and the view from the deck across the lake was very nice. You do have to travel on a dirt road to get to the property.

Right for the price
Rokko was kind and inviting. Briefly showed us around the cabin and property and then provided us privacy the rest of our stay. The Cabin itself was not as private as I was expecting, right next door to property owners with a few other cabins on site. Cabin wasn’t as clean as it could have been, but wasn’t horrible. Cozy enough and beds were comfortable. Handbook asked for us to do our dishes, however, there was no dish soap or sponges provided. Did the best I could with hand soap, but I questioned the cleanliness of the dishes I was using because of this. Property itself was also a bit “messy” with lots of random things lying around. Trails and pond with canoe access was a perk. Peaceful and pretty. Was just right for the price and close to all the outdoor recreation sites we wanted to explore.

I am glad you had a pleasant stay! Sorry you missed the dish soap and sponge behind the curtain on the window sill: I'll make sure future guests know where they are! But you left the rest of the cabin in great shape. It is true there are still random things lying around the property after the major renovation this summer (rebuilding the wall of the cabin). These items are being removed week by week and will be all gone by next season. We'd love to have you back!

convenient location and beautiful area but needs upkeep
We loved Gaylord and the surrounding area and especially the closeness in proximity to other beautiful places. Wild Winds was quiet and there were many birds to watch. We enjoyed fishing and paddle boating and taking our kayaks out on Wequas Lake. The cabin itself was nice and cool and the beds were comfortable. However, the whole place had a smell that was unappealing and we realized that the furniture in the main area had retained some bad smells most likely because of the age of it and a previous pet or smoker. The other problem we faced was that when it rained, the ceiling leaked in the master bedroom and the bathroom. Then we realized that half the roof was in the middle of being replaced. The place needed some repairs for sure as many flying insects kept showing up inside. Also, there was a lot of junk scattered throughout the small housing area, including the remains of the torn off roof, which was just a few feet from the fire pit. We managed to be patient with these inconveniences and still enjoy our time there. The family was kind, but when we mentioned the leaky roof and the plaster which kept dropping on the floor starting the second day, we didn't hear back for several hours. All in all, we wouldn't recommend renting until they have time to clean up, replace the roof and place a few pieces of newer, clean furniture inside.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay! Sorry about the leak; that has been repaired, and we replace the furniture at the end of the summer. The debris from the roof repair gets smaller every week, and the fire pit has been moved. Thank you for your comments, and I am happy to report the issues have been addressed.

Summer Vacation
Rokko and his brother are very nice people. They were accommodating and helpful when i made a mistake during the booking process which was much appreciated. This is our second time booking at this location and it's sadly gone downhill since our last booking. The cabin itself needs a deep cleaning. There was lots of crumbs and dirt in couch cushions, an odor in the kitchen, and hair in the tub when we got there. All of which we kept to ourselves. We couldn't use the grill because it was completley rusted and broken. The little charcoal one we were given to use was small enough that we had to cook dinner in batches. There was only one row boat with oars and when asked for the other boats oars, we were told we would get them, but never did. The second paddle boat was completely unusable as well. There were wires running along the beach area which is concerning and items left out that belong to residents that apparently weren't to be touched by anyone even though it isn't near anyone's home. The resident there is rude. In our cabin, there was an animal in the ceiling scratching which was nerve wracking. We were told its probably just a squirrel but regardless, it was unsettling. My husband loves bonfires and although wood is part of the amenities, we had to split our own wood for a fire. Which also wasn't a problem last time. All in all, I'd like to give a better review because of the wonderful location. With more cleaning and maintenance, this could be a five star getaway.

I'm sorry some things went wrong for your second visit, but these items are being addressed. We could have fixed some things on the spot if we knew before your review came out (for example, we had a larger grill available for you). The gas grill has been repaired, the squirrel hole identified and repaired, the new oars arrived, the wires (which were put down by the satellite TV company after a repair) are being buried. Hope you come back for a third visit!!

Perfect for a getaway for two people
We stayed in the very large cabin and the communication from the host was impeccable as he had to have the furnace repaired but kept us in the loop of communication to be sure we would have heat. Overall, it was a relaxing vacation. The lake is beautiful, the trails through the woods are a wonderful hike, the host is more than kind as were the other people on the property. The deck on our cabin was wonderful as it overlooks the lake and you couldn't ask for better than that. Due to the recent overflow of lake water, the beach and dock wasn't as accessible as you might want if you have children looking to play in the water but for us, it was fine. Our only issue was that the cabin could use a really good cleaning as there is a lot of dust, possible critter droppings, very dirty area rug etc. However, the sinks were clean, the toilet was clean, the refrigerator was spotless, the furniture was comfy etc. I very much appreciated being able to bring my dog.

Define Rustic
I am torn about posting this because Rokko is a lovely man and I would imagine, has the best of intentions. But this property is horribly disappointing beginning with the drive in to the "compound". Yes, there are 4 homes on the property, but there is also an occupied camper/trailer with kids toys and debris, another (stored) trailer, a couple of old trucks, old household radiators, a cement mixer among piles of debris. It was obvious nothing else was done to the exterior of the cabin in some time. There was dirt everywhere and it was quite unkempt. It needed a good sweeping or clean up with a leaf blower. The well pump ran constantly. We were excited to see the log interior and a big beautiful fireplace. There was newer vinyl plank flooring throughout most of the cabin also, but there were area rugs that were filthy. The fireplace was not functional and neither was the furnace. The kitchen's cabinets were dirty and gummed up around the knobs. The ceiling throughout the cabin was discolored from smoke and had water stains or patches missing. The windows were all dirty and had old bugs around them, along with the bathroom counter. My son in law was doing dishes and said he felt water on his feet only to find out the drain under the sink wasn't connected. The bathtub drain was slow, so I checked the drain to see if there was a piece of soap wrapper in it, and pulled out gobs and gobs of long, matted, gross hair. There was garbage in the bathroom drawers and used dental floss. Rokko said he had a housekeeper, (we think it might be the creepy lady who sits by the trailer) but she must only be making up the beds and washing towels and dishes. Yes, the bathroom curtains are sheer. Our disappointment continued to the lake area. There were trees cut down and wood/brush everywhere. Rokko explained that several trees were cut down because of the high water issue, but it looked like no-one had taken any care in cleaning up what was cut. Different height stumps were left all over. There was also other debris all over such as a plastic barrel, a collapsed firepit and an old amazon box. (which we burned). There were 2 paddle boats and 2 row boats available, but the canoe had a couple cracks in it. We did catch some pike and a bass from the shore and from the row boat. We ended up leaving early (after the hair in the drain issue) and cut our losses. Don't be fooled by the rustic description. Rustic also means inhabitable.

I thought you were having great time when I saw you catching fish and enjoying sunsets by a fire; but now I understand why you left early. It was a mistake for us to set up the camper near the cabin and it will be moved; I'm sorry about that. The beach is in process of restoration; we lost fifteen trees by the lake in one night! The lakefront should be in much better shape by next year.

Needs major updates
Go elsewhere if you are looking for a swimming beach, there also was no dock. It was advertised to have Wi-Fi but that never worked. There is also a lot of water damage. There was a tarp over the roof on the right side of the cabin, the bathroom floor was tilting downward with a lot of mold. There were no window coverings in the bathroom which left open view to the trailer parked next door. We noticed the box spring cover was covered with mold in the bedroom that is a three season room my son was staying in.

Listing is deceiving
The family and I had a good time while there, we ventured out to Traverse City and Mackinaw a couple of day. However, if you want to enjoy swimming you will need to go to Ostego State Park for the beach there, very beautiful. Pictures and distcription need to be updated. I wish I had read the reviews before making this reservation. The "newly" high water issue has been an issue for two years, not new. The dock is no longer there, no idea if there is still a gazebo or not, never seen it. The window treatments are a real issue, especially in the restroom that faces the person staying in trailer right next to cabin, she likes to sit out there often and can see right into the bathroom. No one felt comfortable using the restroom or taking showers unless we knew she was not sitting out there. I had reached out to the owner before booking this cabin about the internet explaining that my husband still needed to work while we were here. He told me the internet would not be a problem. We even made sure the kids devices had their wifi shut off while dad was working and he kept loosing connection. Could not text owner as service out there was terrible and when we went next door he did not answer door. As long as you want to seriously rough it, I would not suggest this cabin. Serious updates need to be made, especially to the beach area and window treatments.

Beautiful property and a truly peaceful getaway!
I stayed at Wild Winds (in the junior cabin) with my family, ranging in ages from 7 to 55 and we all had a wonderful time. The cabin was just as we expected, if anything it was even better. It was cozy and the views and property were stunning. We hiked the trails, caught plenty of fish (mostly pike and bass) from the boat and even right from the shore daily, and then enjoyed picturesque sunsets over the lake from the large deck, ending with a relaxing fire and movie in the living room. There was plenty of room for all 7 of us to stay comfortably. We were really surprised how quiet and peaceful the whole property was. Rokko and his family were very friendly and accommodating. They greeted us and provided all the information on trails and fishing and anything else we could possibly need. They were close by if we needed anything but we always felt like we had a very private space. We also appreciated our furry friend neighbors with a bunch of bunnies and small dog and cat that liked to roam around and stop by to say hello from time to time. We had a lovely stay and we can't wait to return in the future!

Much needed rest and relaxation
We really enjoyed our stay here. If you're looking for the perfect mix of rustic and modern then you will want to visit here. Our deck overlooked the lake which made a great spot to drink our morning coffee and in the evening view beautiful sunsets. We had plenty to do here, fishing, swimming, canoes and walking trails. Inside we had all the amenities of home including a washer and dryer, satellite TV etc. Our cabin was clean, roomy, and very comfortable. We were happy to see all the big windows we had letting in the breeze and lots of light The atmosphere at the property was peaceful and homelike, and watching the bunnies and the squirrels playing in the morning and the evening added a nice touch to our stay. Our host Rokko met us upon arrival and showed us around the property. He was an outstanding host throughout the whole week. We had such a good time that we didn't want to leave. No doubt about it, we will vacation here again.

Quite lake retreat
Peace and quite on a no-wake lake. The swimming was terrific. Paddling around the lake was great, plus since the water levels were a bit high, there was a route to connect our lake, Lake Wequas, to another larger no-wake lake, Lake Manuka. The cabin is rustic, but well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The rear deck is heavenly, overlooking the lake and with plenty of room for outdoor meals. You're right by the lake front. The owner, Rokko, was very accommodating, answering all of our questions in preparation and providing a very friendly overview of the property upon arrival. A few minor cautions: The third bedroom isn't particularly private, since it also serve as a passage way to the deck. Some cell phone carriers have better signals than others. We needed to leave the cabin to get a cell signal. WiFi is a little spotty, but we were able to get a signal. Gaylord is close by with all the shopping necessities and a cute town. For even more fun, Petoskey is only about 45 minutes away.

This was our second family vacation spent at Wildwinds. It's perfectly situated away from the city, but not too far away that we couldn't jump out for groceries. This is a *rustic* cabin surrounded by woods and critters, not a luxury hotel stay. We had a terrific vacation. The fish were biting this year so my son finally caught his pike. A week wasn't long enough. Thank you Roko!

it is an ok good place but needs some facelift. internet/phone connection sucks- which is ok(what are vacations for) + The lake and the surroundings offer peace and tranquility. ++ But I would agree with some of the negative comments below need more cleanliness, more privacy (curtain/door), rusted grill, lot of caterpillars on the roof/etc above the grill... needs better maintenance. If you are not bothered by all this, it is pretty good. i liked it, will go again (but with a smaller group), certainly not with 8 people, although there are enough beds, space/bath is inconvenient.

It's definitely rustic but that adds to the charm. The lake is great and there's lots of boats to use.

There's more than one cabin and we had a few party people but they were far enough away that it didn't bother us too much. House is surprisingly quiet with windows shut. Loved the lake.

We were there for 3 days, I wanted a real cabin feel and this is what we had, manager was very nice.
View was great, cabin was exactly that a log cabin, looks like he in the process of making improvements and has a good start on it. Everything worked and water access was nice to have, we enjoyed our stay even though the weather didn't make it easy lol Only little things I would improve is making sure the dishes and silverware do not look dirty, and asking the guests to do so much cleaning after charging $80 for cleaning seems a bit counter productive for business, if your asking guests to divide and take out the trash, wash the towels and wrap up the bed clothes charge less for cleaning. I am not complaining here, I would just like to see these things change if we are gonna come back in the future. Over all its good place to stay, just wash the silverware before using it.
