YOUR NORTHERN MICHIGAN ESCAPE

Welcome to The Wild Pine, a thoughtfully renovated 4-bedroom cabin built for group getaways near Torch Lake. Whether you're planning a family trip, milestone birthday, ski weekend, wedding weekend, wine country escape, or summer lake vacation, this is the kind of place where the house becomes part of the trip.

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, and 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.

Rain, snow, or sunshine, The Wild Pine is designed to be the cabin you do not want to leave.
