This was the perfect retreat for our boys’ weekend. The property is enormous but walkable and immaculately maintained with a wide variety of things to do and see while remaining secluded in what felt like our own personal state park. The cottage was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed every one of the homemade cookies the hosts left for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and each of us plans to return with other friends and family members.

Wood Crest Cottage was an excellent choice for my first visit to Michigan. Morning coffee experiencing nature in the beautiful setting and evening soaks in the hot tub were perfect bookends to days of exploring beaches and the wine trail. The carefully curated grounds, interior and amenities insured a peaceful and relaxing stay. Anyone considering booking this property should not hesitate to choose it.

The place itself is unique. You are in the forest and fields around. Silence. And the owners have taken care of everything for relaxation. Take food and disconnect from the world for a few days.

About the host

Hosted by Lincoln Clark

Host profile image
We have been providing some of the best grassfed organic beef to Southern Michigan, Northern Indiana, and beyond for 30 years and have been told countless times how beautiful the property is. Upon acquisition of a contiguous property with this cottage we endeavored to develop an oasis that would honor that heritage.

Why they chose this property

The farm has been organic since 1983 and it offers a splendid sanctuary from the noisy world; with its diverse array of wildlife and plants it is a nature lovers oasis. Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. Wildflower gardens abound. The dark sky experience here will appeal to star gazers and offers excellent satellite tracking . Avid air traffic watchers will find the property is on the flight path of many area and national city's airports. Bird watchers will find many native and migratory birds very plentiful. There is a small but growing library of books related to nature and conservation provided that will include writings of one of the founders of this farm and organic standards (mom).

What makes this property unique

Sanctuary, escape, quiet, seclusion, nature
