We have about 35 acres and trails through the area for exploring. You just may come across some "forts" constructed by some of our grandchildren. There is a large fire pit and plenty of firewood for a minimal cost. (Large trash can full. ) If you listen in the evening, you are likely able to hear a couple of owls talking back and forth. Usually you can see some deer and maybe some turkeys. There are many old pines around the property, the last remnants of our Christmas tree farm. There is no electricity in the cabin, but we do have two solar lights and some battery lights. If it's been rainy, the solar won't last as long as usual. If it's chilly, we do have a portable heater available. We have cornhole game available upon request and some table games kept in cabin. If you want to go biking, there is a trail in town, about 5 miles away.

I am creating a homestead based on simple but holistic living. The cabin was built built by myself with the help of family and friends. There are a number of trails to walk on the 35 private acreage of rolling hills. This heavily wooded land hosts much wildlife and beautiful scenery. There is a sport court which provides opportunities to play basketball, volleyball, pickleball, or badminton. The property is a work in progress with lots of plans for the future; including a food forest, natural pool, recreation building (being built summer 2022), and more.. The property offers a chance to reconnect with each other, yourself, or the natural world in a simplistic and harmonious way. I hope you come experience it! 35 private acres of forest on rolling hill terrain. Lots of wildlife nestled very close to the flat river; 30-40 minutes away from Grand Rapids. The Fred Meijer trail provides great biking or hiking opportunities. Lazy float tubing or kayaking down the flat river is very popular and only a short walk away. Horse back riding, golf courses, and an amazing local bakery all within a couple miles. And a fun sport court (basketball hoop, volleyball/badminton/pickelball net all right on site!

This property was once part of an 80 acre farm. It has now grown into a mature forest with deer, turkey, squirrels, chipmunks, many types of songbirds and most recently a family of sandhill cranes. Our most recent improvement is an air conditioner in the Crow's Nest. Sheila grew up just across the road and spent many hours riding her horse and writing poetry on the property. No discharge of firearms is allowed on this property. As a retired artist, we love to entertain creative peaceful people and many think of our place as a quiet sanctuary that encourages creativity. We provide games, both outdoor and indoor, a screen house, hammock, nature trails and a new camp store with local items and snacks. There is an Amish community close by and a tour map is provided. We are also close to the largest canopy walk in the US at Whiting Forest and Dow Gardens. Only 25 minutes away. There is a small water park in the closest town with a beach. Locally there is tubing and canoeing at the Cedar River in Gladwin and kayaking at Pinconning Park on Saginaw Bay. Guests can explore many antique shops as well as Pinconna and Northwoods Outlet store. Many of our campers never leave the property but choose to relax and watch the life of the forest. We provide linens, towels, and cookware. There is a grill outside and a microwave and oven inside along with a coffee maker and mini fridge.

Weekend Trip to The Crow’s Nest Forest Camp

This was probably the most special cabin experience I have ever had! We got to the cabin after sundown, it was still very easy to find as Jeff had texted us detailed directions as soon as we began driving from home. The boardwalk that leads to the cabin was lit up in blue, waking up was both amazing and very safe. The cabin itself was so cozy and comfortable, the decor was really cool. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great. Sheila provided a lot of great extra stuff: coffee, firewood, toiletries, dishes , linens and lots of other things. You really just need to bring food and clothing. The trail around the property was beautiful, we loved the signs. We loved the garden and dock. All in all, it was a restorative and wonderful time at the Crows Nest and we would easily come back. We want to thank Sheila and Jeff for everything they do here and their deep hospitality. The world is that much better due to their hard work :)

Sheila went above and beyond to make our stay special for our honeymoon. The cabin was cozy and well supplied and had some nice trails around the property. The boardwalk leading up to the cabin looked very cool with the LED light illumination. Would definitely come back!

This little cabin was perfect for me. I slept on the futon sofa inside and was able to use the desk as a mini office to get some work done. The microwave inside helped simplify meals. It was also a beautiful and safe evening and the morning sun was beautiful on the field. Luke came to hang out and the firewood is in blue barrels off by the other cabin. Very safe.

Weekend Trip to Tucked - Away Cabin

This site is incredible. The location is very private and the land is a small clearing deep in the woods with lots of little nooks to explore. The hand built log cabin is so cool, especially the photo album showing how it was made, and it's so special to see how this extended family has used it as a reunion campsite. Wonderful vibes. Cathy is very welcoming and a great host. She set us up very well and made sure we had everything we needed. She's very responsive over the messaging app. We went with 2 elementary age kids and had a fabulous time even though it rained. We pitched a tent in addition to the cabin. We loved the smokeless firepit, too. Overall, an amazing weekend!

Weekend Trip to The Crow’s Nest Forest Camp

We had a wonderful time at the Crow’s Nest! The walkway up gives a folklore vibe. The trails around the property allow you to decompress from whatever may be stressing you out. And the camping/glamping feel was perfect for our first timer. Sheila and Jeff personally accommodated to us with our needs and questions. You both were so sweet and accommodating. Your lifestyle to give back and help truly shows and I will be back to forest bathe there again in the future! Thank you again for sharing with us.
