Heated indoor pool awaits! RIDE REST RELAX with family and friends
Escape to Wonderland Acres, an Up-North Michigan retreat located on ten secluded acres in beautiful West Branch, MI. With a year-round heated pool, this sprawling home is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, just waiting to be included in your next adventure.
No matter what reason you need some FUN, RELAXATION or FAMILY TIME, there’s something for everyone!
***ORV/ATV SxS*** We have TONS OF ONSITE PARKING (at least 2 acres) and are less than 3 miles from the Dow Rd/St. Helen Trailhead System (see map photo)—you can ride on miles and miles of ORV/ATV trails.
***GOLF*** Located 17 minutes from two of the jewels of northern Michigan golf courses—“The Dream” and “The Nightmare”, you can round up your group for some fantastic days of scenic and challenging golf. The area has several other courses available that might fit your schedule or budget better as well.
***LOCATION: WEST BRANCH*** Right off I-75 exit 212/215
Less than 10-15 minutes away from- Downtown West Branch Shopping at West Branch Outlet Mall Boating/fishing on several area lakes Acres of surrounding state land Meijer/Walmart/Walgreens Home Depot/Ace Hardware McLaren Hospital West Branch Cinema3 Several places of worship Two bowling alleys Several resale stores Numerous restaurants/pizzerias Coffee shops that are the bomb!
***THE HOME*** Step inside and you’ll find warm wood tones, inviting living spaces and plenty of room to gather. You can sign in to our high speed WiFi for calling, texting or connecting to the internet. Each of the 4 bedrooms has a Smart Roku TV, direct access to a full bathroom, a walk-in closet, blackout blinds and built-in phone chargers in the nightstands. Both living rooms offer comfortable reclining furniture, Smart Roku TVs, phone charging stations and plenty of seating.
***THE REC ROOM*** Rain or shine, summer or winter — take a dip in your very own indoor pool. Set at a temperature of 85-88 degrees, it will provide a nice relaxing float to start or end your day. (Floaties and pool towels are provided) Challenge each other to a game of pool or start an 8-ball competition on the custom billiards table with hand-carved eagle claw feet and pearl inlays. The card table will accommodate 6-8 players for an exciting game of poker-or maybe you prefer to partner up for some euchre games. (Cards, dice, darts, pool balls and board games are provided.)
***COFFEE AND WAFFLES*** Your “Good Morning” coffee bar is fully stocked with various Keurig pods, whole coffee beans with grinder, a French press and Mr Coffee drip machine. If you prefer tea or hot chocolate instead, we’ve got you covered. Complete your morning with a freshly made waffle from our fully stocked waffle bar. (Locally sourced pure maple syrup is provided)
***THE OUTDOORS*** Step outside and explore an abundance of trails, wildlife and fresh air. Keep an eye out for deer, squirrels, foxes, hummingbirds, wild turkeys or even the neighbor’s friendly black German Shepherd, Brody, who loves to visit. The deer come in nightly looking for corn, carrots or apples. Feel free to bring some feed for them if you want them to hang out longer.
While exploring, you might notice a small hunting cabin tucked away in the back acreage — this is used during hunting season and adds to the rustic charm of the property. There is no access off-season but arrangements can be made to make it available for you in-season.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

The house was amazing in the perfect, secluded location. My family enjoyed the pool table and board games provided by the hosts. The pool was a tad bit cold, but had zero impact on the overall great experience. Amy and Joe are excellent hosts!
