Jeff's cabin was a great place to stay. It was so peaceful and private. Everything was built from wood on the property. Jeff really went out of his way to make sure that the cabin contained everything we could possibly need for our stay. The separate building for a kitchen was great for cooking when it was rainy. Having a shower was great. We walked around the property and saw the other campsites that were available. All were spaced far enough apart to feel like you were alone. I would highly recommend staying here. We cant wait to come back!

We were there when it was a bit warm so sleeping was a bit challenging but that’s on us. We have a battery powered fan that should have been charging on the way there. Haha.

We had such a wonderful stay at Rick’s cabin. It’s a clean, cozy, truly off-grid escape surrounded by beautiful forest, ferns, trees, and tall grasses. We loved the quiet, the nature walks, and especially sitting by the fire with plenty of wood to keep it going. Close enough to Cadillac for anything you need, but far enough away to feel like you’ve really gotten away. Exactly the peaceful nature escape we were looking for. We were genuinely sad to leave and would happily go back!

Absolutely beautiful stay, even with a little smoke. We stayed with our two pups and we had an amazing stay at the bunkhouse. A peaceful retreat and getaway for us and the dogs. We celebrated our pup Milo's first birthday with a grilled hamburger and Carole and Art really went above and beyond with our stay. They had extra water for our dogs outside and really anything and everything you could need for your stay. The trails were clearly marked and we had fun eating wild raspberries and watching the butterflies in the fields. We will definitely be back for another stay sometime, as we could not get enough of it in just two days!

Perfect from booking to check-out! Our hosts were gracious and welcoming and provided incredible customer service along with detailed instructions for the outdoor shower room’s water heater and other amenities at their (very well supplied) off grid cabin. We found this quaint log-built gem with its retro fixtures and cozy furniture and marked trail system and lovely back patio and fire pit tucked into a wooded hillside (complete with a firefly display at dusk) so utterly charming that we canceled our waterfront dinner reservations in Frankfort to stay on-site and enjoy this little bit of paradise as long as we could. Highly recommended. Will be back (again & again!) Polly & Tippy

This was beyond our expectations and just the most lovely place to unwind and relax!! Our stay was so very comfy thanks to the extra amenities provided. We loved listening to all the birds, walking the trails, spotting deer/frogs/slugs/other creatures and sitting around that excellent fire pit. Our dogs were so relaxed and engaged with everything around us. The outhouse was the cleanest I have ever seen not to mention very cute and the shower is an amazing extra touch.

We ended up not staying here. Our travel plans changed within 24 hours of booking and Hipcamp wouldn't refund us due to the property's strict cancellation policy. I would be more careful booking in the future. I hear this is a great property, but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
