🌲 YOUR NORTHERN MICHIGAN ESCAPE ✨ The day at Wild Pine moves at your pace. Mornings begin with coffee in the cathedral-ceiling great room, sunlight filtering through the pines. Some of the group heads to Torch Lake's turquoise water just minutes down the road, while others take over the indoor golf simulator or fire up Pac-Man, Big Buck Hunter, and air hockey in the arcade. Afternoons bring pool table tournaments in the sports bar, cedar sauna sessions, and snack prep in the chef's kitchen. Evenings settle in by one of the two fireplaces or disappear into the hidden speakeasy, popcorn machine running, 100" screen lit, your group together. By midnight, the hot tub crew is out under the stars, the karaoke lounge is at full volume, the fire pit is glowing in the yard, and a poker tournament has taken over upstairs.

There are so many great things with this Airbnb; the house was clean and spacious the beds were divine, we slept like babies the house has so many fun and unique activities (golf, karaoke, movie room, arcade) our whole family enjoyed something things I had forgotten to pack were available at the airbnb we did have an inconvenience at one point and Sarah responded and remedied it immediately. I have to give her 5 stars because both her management and the Airbnb itself were phenomenal. The kids still talk about how much fun they had. I also wanted to point out, this is a perfect all weather Airbnb. We were rained in most of the week but were still able to enjoy the sauna, hot tub and more. Great local restaurants and attractions. It was an epic trip, thank you!!!

We had a great stay at the Wild Pine and Sarah was an excellent host! The house had everything we needed and there were so many fun things to do just at the house! We enjoyed playing billiards, all the tv's to watch March Madness from wherever we were hanging out, the hot tub and sauna were also a hit! We loved all of the little instructions that were posted everywhere too. We had some tech issues and Sarah was both responsive and patient as we worked through it. What a fun place to visit! Thank you for sharing it with us!

loved staying at the Wild Pine. it was beautiful and peaceful. all the amenities were amazing and just as described. Sara was beyond kind and accommodating with quick responses. Caution to other guests, the driveway was very tricky to get up, very icy. In the winter a 4WD or AWD vehicle is needed to get up the ditveway. We had a vehicle get stuck- luckily the very kind neighbor helped push us out of the snow bank. All in all though we still had a fantastic time and would definitely come back!

We loved our stay! Sarah put a lot of thought into this AirBnB. There are so many amenities and all of the basics (shower supplies, paper towels, basic cleaning stuff, etc.) are included which is SO helpful when you’re only doing a long weekend and don’t want to have to grocery shop right away. The games, movie room, pool table, hot tub, etc are wonderful and kept our 3 boys entertained! We even had fun sledding down the driveway! We are looking forward to coming back sometime and bringing friends and family. Thanks!
