Up North Retreat - hot tub - pool table -kayaks- yard games- arcade

Enjoy a beautiful cottage on “Wixom Lake”. If you are not familiar with the area, in May 2020 dams failed changing the landscape. Although there currently is no water this retreat will provide you a unique getaway. Our home sits on one of the “fingers” of Wixom Lake and currently has a small stream running through. There is a ton to enjoy on the property and the surrounding area. 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, rec room with a pool table, dart board, bar, tv. Weber BBQ Grill and indoor hot tub.

Full exclusive use of the home, deck, patio, two fire pits, grill, yard games, dartboard, pool table, arcade games, Xbox, basketball hoop and indoor hot tub. 1 bedroom has a queen bed with attached full bath. 2nd bedroom is a full bed with a single top bunk. The living room has 2 sofa couches that can sleep 4. There is a Jacuzzi brand hot tub in the sun room. All buildings on the property have heat and a/c. Other things to note there is WiFi and four smart TVs (living room, both bedrooms and rec room) ran by Firestick and/or Roku. The indoor hot tub fits two adults. Use of two kayaks are included that can be taken to nearby sites.. **As mentioned, water is not accessible but a natural creek runs through. You will notice in the pictures this water level changes seasonally** We are on a small septic drain field so we ask that guests limit using the hot tub once per day.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I came here for our 15 year Anniversary. It was a wonderful stay. Very clean and comfortable. The surrounding houses were close but it was very quiet and relaxing. It had most everything you would need for preparing food as well as coffe options. The Jacuzzi tub was just amazing! We used it nearly twice a day the entire time we were there. The game room was a lot of fun for just chilling out. We were a little dissapointed as we had no way to Kyak since the river is no longer there for the time being as that wasn't indicated on the site. But otherwise we were 100% satisfied and talked about coming back with our kids at some time! We highly recommend!

Perfect getaway!

I was so impressed with this getaway! The place was spotless and full of amenities! I particularly enjoyed the hot tub. I also appreciated the history of the dam break. I am looking forward to returning when the dam is fixed! The game room was also a lot of fun. Even without the waterfront, this was such a great place to stay! The hosts were very accommodating and the late check out was greatly appreciated! I highly recommend booking your getaway here.

Wonderful Time Spent With Family

My husband and I were in the area visiting our son and his wife and their 3 week old baby. The house was perfect for us. Spacious and well appointed . We stayed in most of the six days we were there and cooked. The kitchen was so well stocked, there wasn’t anything my husband, the chef of the family, needed. We especially loved The Toasted Toad “bar” which was a perfect addition when you’re traveling with an infant and can’t go out to a real bar. Pool table, dart board, TV. We had many memorable nights at the Toasted Toad. Honorable mention goes to the fire pit . Coming from Florida it was nice to have a fire in the middle of the summer. Great time bonding with family.

Cozy get away

Perfect place for a cozy weekend. The weather was not the greatest but the hot tub, rec room, games and TV were all a bonus for family time away from home. We were especially happy to be able to bring our dog.
