West Wind Cottages are nestled on the picturesque Hubbard Lake, the largest inland body of water in Northeast Michigan, spanning 8,800 acres of deep, spring-fed waters perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing. Nature enthusiasts will be captivated by the scenic splendor of Alcona County's forests and hills. Nearby, hunters can find abundant deer, turkey, and small game, while golfers have their skills tested at several local golf courses. For stargazers, the night sky transforms into a celestial display, offering breathtaking views of the northern lights, Starlink satellites, and meteors when conditions are right.
The cottages, built from cedar log quarter material, exude a warm, rustic country charm. Each cottage features a screened-in porch, skylights, a ceiling fan, and a wood-burning stove to cozy up to during cooler weather, along with a fully-equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower.
Just 50 feet from your cottage, you'll find excellent swimming conditions in crystal-clear water with a sand/cobblestone mix shoreline that transitions to a sandy lake bottom, as well as superb spots for boating and fishing for walleye, perch, pike, trout, and world-class smallmouth bass.
Within a 5-15 minute drive, there's a marina, gas stations, parks, general stores, championship golf courses, restaurants, and bars.
And 20-30 minutes away, you can access thousands of acres of public land, explore Reid & Hoist Lakes foot trails, visit the maritime city of Alpena with its museums and shipwrecks, enjoy Harrisville's boat harbor, Lake Huron's shores, and the historical Sturgeon Point Lighthouse & Museum.
