Sweet Winds Michigan Upper Peninsula Farm WELCOME SNOWMOBILERS and SNOW LOVERS

WITHIN 1 MILE TO SLED TRAIL #47, RIDE FROM FARM

Sweet Winds is delightful set back in time farm property located 1 mile inland from Lake Huron in the Upper Peninsula. The house is a blend between a cottage, UP cabin, and farm. Its cozy in the winter and nature in abundance in the warmer months. Wildlife is abundant with a lot to observe and star filled skies. The 10 acre farm is located centrally to St. Ignace, Les Cheneaux Islands and Sault Ste Marie. Easy to get to other Eastern UP destinations. Located adjacent to snowmobile Trail#47.
The space
There are 3 bedrooms ( 2 twins, Full, and Queen). Limit 6 people. The living room is complete with a wood stove. Kitchen has most everything you would need to prepare your own meal.
The small porch is perfect for sipping a hot drink in the morning and watching the farm come to life. It is located off of a paved highway, then about 1.5 miles onto a gravel road.
Guest access
The house will be entirely yours during your stay. Welcome to walk the property, sit outside whenever you like, enjoy a fire in the chiminea, drink from the amazing well, and visit the hoop houses.
Other things to note
Currently we do not have wifi, but hope to get it in the future if the demand is there. A screen is available for location television, but internet access is available through personal phones. There are books and games. However, if you have your favorites it is perfect place to step back in time without the distractions of being "plugged in".
This farm is working its way into be a sustainable agricultural farm. When you visit you will see the early stages. We’ve had our challenges with gardens, staffing. But successful with free range chickens.
If you like to explore the numerous trails via ATV or snowmobile, the farm is located on a trail, guiding you to 100's of miles in Hiawatha National Forest.

This place was incredible. Very nice farm house feel. Very very relaxing. We went up to go fishing and had more fun relaxing at the house. The owner is on it with any questions we had. The chickens were a blast. Fed them from our hands and pet them. We will definitely be back.

Great getaway, home away from home! Very relaxing and can unplug from everything. My daughter didn’t even care that we put her tablet up for the weekend. She cried when it was time to go saying she didn’t want to leave lol. We are already talking about going back!

We absolutely loved it at Sweet Winds Farm. The location was perfect for our planned trip to Mackinac Island. Super convenient and easy. The home itself was clean, perfect amount of room for our family of 6, but also cozy and warm feeling. Not great cell service, but that was a blessing. It felt like a step back in time a little to just enjoy family time and make breakfast together before heading out for the day. We had everything we needed there - lots of towels, pillows, and full kitchen.My kids LOVED the chickens on the farm. They were sweet and fun to feed. Jessie was also great at communicating throughout our entire stay. I’d love to come back again some day!

Peaceful and relaxing

We enjoyed our time on the farm. Our cell service was hit and miss, but we were busy taking in all that Hessel and Cedarville has to offer. The rooster and chickens can be entertaining as well. If you're looking for a relaxing atmosphere with most of the comfort of home, this place is for you.

UP Getaway

We had a few days to spend in the UP and we were happy to stay at Sweet Winds farm. My kids enjoyed watching the chickens in the yard and commented on how quiet it is there. The accommodations worked out well for our family of 6. We enjoyed looking at the nature books and playing some of the board games provided at the property when it was raining or before we left for our excursions. The property is 20-25 minutes from the Narnia trail (Bush Bay trail) in Cedarville, which is just dreamy! It also worked out for us to take in the sights at Whitefish point, Sault Ste Marie, and St. Ignace. Thanks form providing a peaceful retreat for our family!

Perfect Getaway!

My wife and I wanted to stay somewhere peaceful and quiet but still close to st ignace, and this place was absolutely perfect. We loved watching the stars at night and drinking our coffee on the front porch in the mornings, we had a lot of fun seeing the chickens and collecting the fresh eggs! We had the best anniversary trip! We will most definitely stay again!

Beautiful summer getaway

What a lovely spot! Close to the ferry to visit the island, as well as some cute small towns. Our 2 year old loved visiting the chickens and exploring the yard, and we all loved the fresh eggs. Wear pants and socks when exploring outside - we encountered many ticks. Loved watching all the birds and even saw some early morning deer visitors. Would stay again.
