Wolf Lake Betty Welcomes You

Welcome to Wolf Lake! Wolf Lake Betty is a warm, welcoming spot to enjoy your getaway.
* summer offers swimming, paddle boards, bikes and a fire pit. Visit the
Flea Roast Ox Market in June, and the Troutarama in July.
* fall offers brisk walks or biking around the lake while leaf peeping.
* winter - we're putting Wolf Lake Betty to sleep, as she suffered last winter with
frozen pipes. See you in Spring!
* spring is time to visit 45 designated trout streams in the area, and May offers the Blessing of the Bikes in Baldwin. There are also many garage sales.
The lake is near the Manistee National Forest, with great trails for ATVs or Snowmobiles. Come enjoy this sweet 60 year old lady, Wolf Lake Betty. If you treat her kindly, she'll show you a wonderful time. Wolf Lake Betty's right on the water, which provides beautiful sunsets by the fire pit.

Pretend you are visiting your elderly relative who makes cookies and tea when you arrive. Her septic system is delicate, so please be mindful of this sweet old lady who's a little creaky but friendly.

The two bedrooms have great queen beds. One bathroom serves as a powder room for the "lake room," as well as the bathroom for the primary bedroom. The second bedroom has a bathroom across the hall. There is also a full bed in the den, and there is a laundry room. There is a sleeper sofa, best for kids as adults won't find it very comfortable. There is a fully equipped kitchen for cooking and baking, including a Kitchen Aid, toaster, coffee maker, Crock Pot, cookie sheet pans, and all the cooking utensils you'll need! Nearby caretakers can provide firewood or, in summer, a boat ride around the lake for a small fee. There are games and books, a TV and DVD player, and minimal cable/internet. Internet can be sketchy in inclement weather or if many are all using at once.

Betty hosts another peaceful lake vacation.
This was our second stay with Betty and once again she was a wonderful host. This stay featured more Kayaks on site and the new mini split HVAC was refreshing even though we only needed it on our first day. The lake was quiet and the kayaking was fun. Plenty of firewood and seating for the fire pit next to the lake. Everything in the cottage functioned well and we were relaxed and comfortable our whole stay. Thanks again for another Great Lake vacation.

Beautiful Betty
Had another great stay on Wolf Lake. There were some nice updates to Wolf Lake Betty. There was an amazing Split AC system installed, making it very comfortable on those hot days. The beds seemed more comfortable and luxurious this time. We had some problems with the fridge but the owner and caretakers were very quick to address the problem and even compensated us for the inconvenience. The overall condition and cleanliness was great and the location cannot be beat. Cannot wait for next year!!

WLB Perfect!
Wolf Lake Betty was the perfect house for our vacation. From the comfy beds to the large yard and stars at night, we couldn't have asked for more. Communication was a breeze and the house was well appointed, plenty of towels, blankets, soap, and even cold water in the fridge. The lake was beautiful, so clean and peaceful and our family enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards in the gargage. Oh and maybe the best thing of all! 3 Eagles paid multiple visits during our stay, they hung out in the yard and tree out back and dined on the lakes finest fish . I highly, highly recommend Wolf Lake Betty and cannot wait to visit again!
