Mancelona Cottage | Wickwood On Beautiful Big Twin Lake!

3 Bedroom Cottage in Mancelona

If you’re dreaming of a classic up-north summer with your family, Wickwood on Big Twin Lake is the perfect place to unplug, slow down, and make lasting memories. This charming lakefront cottage blends fresh updates with timeless cottage character, offering an affordable, comfortable, and exceptionally clean getaway families love returning to.
Wickwood features 1.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and nearly all new furnishings, carpet, linens, and beds, thoughtfully mixed with a few family treasures that preserve its cozy, nostalgic feel. Guests consistently rave about the comfort—especially the beds—and the well-stocked kitchen that makes family meals easy.
Start your mornings with coffee on the lake-view deck, enjoying the quiet and peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees. Spend the day swimming in the sandy-bottom lake (no beach), paddling with your own kayaks or water toys, or using the rowboat provided. The dock accommodates boats up to 20 feet, making it easy to enjoy time on the water. Evenings are perfect for card games on the patio, sharing stories, and roasting marshmallows around the fire pit under the stars.
The cottage stays comfortable thanks to natural shade, even on warmer days (please note: no air conditioning). Guests also appreciate the excellent hot water supply and the calm, relaxing atmosphere.
Conveniently located just 30 minutes from Grayling and 15 minutes from Kalkaska or Mancelona, you’ll find grocery stores, restaurants, and local favorites nearby—including Kalkaska’s popular indoor/outdoor market.

Summary: Everything was perfect from the booking, check in, cleanliness, communication to check out. House was clean and had everything needed for a great stay. Pictures do not do this place justice. We enjoyed sitting in the beach area and dock. The back patio area was lovely at night for card games and chatting. Would stay again!
