Snowmobiler-Friendly Cottage with Garage Near Trails 7&8 @LifeInThe906 | House in Wetmore
3 Bedroom House in Wetmore
We invite you to enjoy "Life in the (906), the telephone area code for the entire Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan, at our waterfront home on Lost Lake. Experience what it’s like to live as a “Yooper,” a true resident of the UP! Todd and I are your hosts who live just down the road, less than an hour away: close enough to take care of any unexpected needs, but far enough to offer privacy.
Enjoy a cup of coffee in our breakfast nook or out on the back deck overlooking the lake; take a paddle boat or kayak out on the lake (or drill a hole in the ice) to catch a fish; take your sleds out and ride the snowmobile trails all day, then relax in the entertainment room after a long day of exploring Pictured Rocks or the trails in the Hiawatha National Forest.
The House and Property:
The 2-car garage, sitting on top of a small hill, is the first building you’ll see. It’s perfect for parking your sleds, other grown-up toys, or your vehicles. The house itself is farther down the hill, and the driveway features a concrete pad and allows for extra car parking or a turnaround spot. Below the wraparound deck is a walk-out basement (not yet ready for visitors) that leads directly to the beach area with a dock, a fire pit, and seating area.
The house has a full kitchen stocked with enough dishes, utensils and cookware to whip up simple meals for your group. A microwave, coffee maker, toaster and blender also make it easy for you to grab something on the run if the outdoors is calling you.
This 3-bedroom house has the master bedroom situated on the opposite side of the smaller two, allowing for more privacy. The two smaller bedrooms share a bathroom, while the master has a private one. With a queen bed, two twin beds, and a twin bunk bed/full-size futon combo, six people will have plenty of space. There are also two separate living room/entertainment areas, each with its own queen/full pull-out sleeper sofa, should you need to accommodate a larger group.
Free WiFi, Roku, and a DVD player are available if you prefer to settle indoors. The house is set up with a landline phone that has local phone call capabilities. Verizon and AT&T services work OK in this part of the UP, but all cell carriers can use WiFi calling.
If you need to cool down or warm up fast from playing outside in our 4-season playground, there is a water cooler with hot and cold settings, along with a Keurig, at your disposal. The laundry room is also good for popping something into the dryer for a quick warm-up, or to dry your beach towels if you've been swimming all day. We also have "nature's dryer," a clothesline, out back.
Outdoors enthusiasts? You’re just 10 miles from Munising, the gateway to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and it's beautiful year round! You can't hike very far without stumbling upon one of the ubiquitous waterfalls in this area, and the North Country National Scenic Trail runs right along Lake Superior on its way from North Dakota to Vermont.
Valley Spur is also nearby and offers skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and mountain biking.
Are you into fishing? You’ve got plenty of national forestland, lakes, and streams to accommodate you. But the best-kept secret is our private lake, which boasts some of the best bass fishing in the area (guests have also caught plenty of northern pike and panfish - right off our dock).
In summertime enjoy water activities like swimming, kayaking, and paddle boating, right out your back door. We’ve got people-powered watercraft for your personal use, and also indoor games for kids both large and small, because you never know what type of weather Mother Nature will provide!
For snowmobilers: access hundreds of miles of trails right outside the front door. The Buckhorn Resort is just 3 miles away on the trails or 11 miles via the roads. You can access Trails 7 and 8 right from our driveway.
Explorers: You may choose to day trip across the UP to Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Kitch-iti-Kipi (the Big Spring), Marquette’s Sugarloaf Mountain, Seney Wildlife Refuge, Mackinac Island, or visit Sault Saint Marie and take a Soo Locks boat tour from your Lost Lake home base.
Whether you're bundled up like a snowman tackling the drifts or down to your swim trunks splashing around our swimming hole, you'll have a blast out here on Lost Lake!
