Grand Traverse County Cabin in the Woods

Enjoy this cozy cabin in the woods. Nestled in the red pines just minutes from Traverse City. Appreciate all that the seasons have to offer with family and friends. Relax by the outdoor fire pit or enjoy the beautiful lakes nearby. The Northern Michigan night sky offers an amazing view of the Milky Way and even an occasional display of the Northern Lights. Unplug and enjoy the woodlands and when you want to reconnect with the outside world there is wireless internet and a 60" tv, or take time for a game of shuffleboard. Freestanding fireplace gives a relaxing glow while watching the beautiful sunsets. One mile to ORV, snowmobile and equestrian trails. Close to the TART biking and hiking trails, 18 hole disk golf course, lakes, casinos, wineries and shopping. Pets are welcome for a small additional fee.

Absolutely gorgeous little get away! We were able to prep a good meal for our ball players nightly and always had the best hospitality when it came to checking to make sure the AC was working and even asked how the ball team was doing! Highly recommend a stay here, and will look into it again!

We had a wonderful time! We came up for a family getaway. The home and property are beautiful and so peaceful! Wayne and Teri were very kind and great hosts! The kids played in the yard and loved the loft, the pup had plenty to explore and s'more's to end the night! We all wish we could have stayed longer!

Great weekend visit

Great design and host was amazing. Lots of great things nearby but secluded enough to enjoy peacefulness. My guests and I all agreed on it being a great place to stay for our kayak, bike and brew tour. We ventured to Traverse City but friends may return for the close proximity to snowmobile trails. I’d go back in heartbeat.

Summer get away

The Hodge Lodge was uniquely decorated, clean and had everything that you would need. Wayne & Teri are great host. They are quick to answer questions. They had smores ready for the fire when we got there. It was a great stay. Our pup Matty loved it as well!!

Great Home Base

We used Hodge Lodge as a base for our sightseeing trip. Went to Sleeping Bare Dunes (a must see) Also traveled to Traverse City to several Wineries. We also went to a few different beaches on the shores of Lake Michigan, breathtaking views. We also hikes some nearby trails. 5 Stars.

Our hosts thought of everything. Fire ready to start, marshmallows ready to roast and a porch swing over looking pines. Beds were comfy, sheets and towels feel brand new. The only thing we wished for was better weather! Hope to be back soon.

Awesome Getaway

This is a fabulous property. It is exactly like the pictures, no surprises. It is warm, cozy, and a great place to go to get out of the city. If you are looking to relax, this is the place. When you are ready to get out, Traverse City is just a quick 30 minute drive. We had a great time here and will definitely be returning soon.

Family gathering

We absolutely loved this rental property. There were many personalized touches that made this property so appealing. Besides the cleanliness of the property, they had complimentary kits for smores, k-cups for our keurig coffee each morning, tea, creamers, etc. The beds were comfy, and the fire pit area was perfect. They supplied the wood, so we didn't need to go out searching to purchase some. The string lights above the fire pit area gave it an added sense of warmth. We would recommend this property to all.

A hidden gem in the Pines

Very clean, neat, peaceful, had everything we needed. Stocked coffee pods and fixins! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the outdoor shower looking up at the sky and the pines was incredible. The hosts were great, very friendly. Fun family games to choose from and shuffle board! Will stay here again and also recommend to friends and family! Five stars!

We had our girls trip and the place was absolutely beautiful, exactly what we was looking for. The host was very accommodating and was blowing off the seats by the fire pit for us when we arrived. He was a very courteous host and they had a lot of extra amenities available.

Excellent stay

Perfect for the family of six we had. Close to everything traverse City and wine country including the sand dunes. Very clean and updated, we only had one night for a bonfire. Wish we had more time at the cabin but we were busy with a wedding. I would recommend for anyone!

Weekend Stay for a Softball Tournament

Our stay was amazing. Wayne and Teri made the entire process simple. They answered all questions super quickly, check-in was as simple as going to the cabin and opening the door (with the keypad). The cabin was cute and clean and had everything we could have possibly needed and way more. My daughter loved the smores' and the fire pit was perfect and all set to use. We would 100% stay here again. We had a great time. The only negative is we were gone for softball a lot and would have enjoyed having more time to hangout in the cabin. Thanks for the great stay.
