Looking for a retreat that feels like you're far away but still close to everything? The Wild Refuge Lodge may be just the spot for you. This secluded rustic lakefront lodge on Green Lake, located on 125 acres of woodlands, offers a beautiful, quiet spot for you to unwind. The large, log home features 6 bedrooms and 4 full baths. Up to 14 guests are welcome. Walk through the front door into a huge living room with sitting area which looks through a two-story wall of glass onto the woods and waterfront. Off the living area are the full kitchen and dining room which also face the lake. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on each level. Beds include three kings, a double, and six twins. A suspended catwalk spans the two-story living area connecting the second-floor bedrooms. Additional dining area off the kitchen offers a fun space for families to gather.
Outdoors, children can run freely while parents relax with no worries about traffic. Spot deer in the morning and hear owls and loons at night. A porch-side picnic table allows alfresco dining with spectacular views across the water as the sun sets over the Betsie River – a protected national wilderness area. If tennis is your game, then plan to play a set on the Lodge’s private court just across the road which is about 1/2 mile from the lodge. There is also a badminton net set up for some fierce racket fun.
Walk down to the dock for a late-afternoon swim, or – if you’ve brought your own boat – launch it at the public boat access, next to the river just across the water. Green Lake offers clear waters and welcomes boaters and fisherman. Swim in the deep cool waters. Due to the nature of this property, outdoor fires are prohibited.
Renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts, a cultural hub for talent from around the world, is just 10 minutes away. Traverse City – with its annual film festivals and beloved Cherry Festival – is 30 minutes away. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is just 40 minutes away.

We are pleased to hear that this home was a good size for your family and that you enjoyed the private location in the woods, and on the lake. We did speak during your stay, and continued to monitor the situation during your stay. As we discussed, this has been a VERY unusual summer for mice as our area has been so dry. Spring 2023 - issues with the mice have been addressed and solved we found the area of the home where they were sneaking in and have made repairs and the home did not show any signs of the little rascals even after being closed all winter! The living room furniture has been updated and the bedrooms have new bed linens. The home now has central air as well!Clark Family Reunion
