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 ideal 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 several challenging courses at their disposal. On clear nights, stargazers are treated to a celestial display reminiscent of a planetarium, with the northern lights, Starlink satellites, and meteors occasionally visible.
The cottages, crafted from cedar log quarters, exude a warm, rustic country charm. Features include a screened porch, skylights, ceiling fan, and a wood-burning stove, perfect for cooler days and nights. Each cottage is fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and shower.
Just 75 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 lakefront 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, amenities such as a marina, gas station, parks, general stores, championship golf courses, restaurants, and bars are accessible.
A 20-30 minute journey provides access to thousands of acres of public land, Reid & Hoist Lakes foot trails, the maritime city of Alpena with its museums and shipwrecks, Harrisville boat harbor, Lake Huron, and the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse & Museum.
