Hosting May 22 - mid/Oct My husband Dan and I purchased this property 6 years ago and have totally restored the land, home and barn from its prior condition. Consequently, if you view the various on line satellite images be advised they are out of date and do not reflect the love we have put into our sanctuary. We are retired and live here with our two standard poodles Mila and Indiana.
The property is 5 acres, mostly meadow with a maple grove as well as a wooded ravine. We have planted various fruit trees, cherries, apples, peach as well as pears. We also have a small grape and berry patch which is next to our vintage trailer. There is also an old abandoned trail through the forest that makes for a nice walk.
Our location is convenient to Traverse City, Alden, Belaire, Kalkaska as well as the equestrian center and the casino in Williamsburg. There are various places to eat/drink within close proximity as well as places to purchase fuel, groceries and liquor.
Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas are a convenient drive where you can visit the many vineyards, orchards, shops and enjoy the beautiful vistas of the lake and bays, or shop some of the unique stores and galleries.
There are many off road vehicle and bike trails that are not far away as well. As well as boating on beautiful Torch Lake and the chain of lakes.
A day trip to Sleeping Bear dunes is well worth the drive.
We would be happy to make suggestions on activities, dining, entertainment during your stay.
We currently have three sites which are on seperate areas of the property. Lake View site is a Vintage 1985 Avion travel trailer which as been completely renovated with all new systems. It is located with a western view of Lake Skegemog and next to our grape and berry patch in our back yard. Maple Grove site is a new Coachmen Catalina Destination series RV. It is located on the front side of the property next to the maple tree grove. Lavender Lane is located in front of our barn with a view of our small orchard and the forest, close to the walking trail. All our sites are fully outfitted with quality linens, towels, dishes and cooking equipment. All of the units have Air Conditioned and heat.
New this year is our chicken coop and run. We (Bill) has always wanted chickens.

Escape to Forest Hollow, a quiet 2.5-acre wooded retreat tucked into the trees near Mancelona, Michigan. This private, rustic setting offers a true back-to-nature experience with a loop road winding through the forest and a peaceful tent site in a shaded clearing.
The campsite is set about 150 feet back from the road, screened by trees for privacy, with the nearest neighbor roughly 300+ feet to the northwest. Wildlife is common — you’ll often spot squirrels, birds, deer, and rabbits around the property. The site features its own fire pit, perfect for evenings by the campfire. As you’re in the middle of the woods, mosquitoes are present and can be worse in the evenings. Bug spray is recommended around the fire at night.
This is primitive camping. There is no potable water, toilet, or shower on site, so guests must be fully self-contained. Please bring your own water, camp toilet, and gear, and practice Leave No Trace.
A trail leads to the back of the property, where I’m currently building a small A-frame cabin. Guests are welcome to explore the trail, but please stay out of the active construction area and the A-frame itself for safety. There is also a section being cleared for a future septic field that contains many small stumps — please avoid this area.
The property is conveniently located just a few miles from Mancelona for supplies and about 15 minutes from Torch Lake and Bellaire. The area offers excellent nearby trails for hiking and mountain biking, along with many lakes and rivers that make it a great base for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Torch Lake is known for its crystal-clear water, and there’s a small sandy beach on Lake Bellaire. I provide guests with a map highlighting local food, activities, and attractions in the area.
For security, a trail camera monitors the entrance of the property. Feel free to explore, relax, and enjoy the peaceful setting. I’m happy to share local recommendations — just ask!

We absolutely loved our stay at the A-frame treehouse! It was such a unique and peaceful little getaway, tucked away in the woods and surrounded by nature. You can really tell how much love and hard work went into creating this space.
Everything was cozy, thoughtful, and exactly what we were hoping for. We loved being able to slow down, enjoy the quiet, and just spend time together. The location was beautiful, and the treehouse itself made the whole stay feel like an adventure.
Our hosts were incredibly kind and communicative, and they made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and want everyone to have a great experience. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy, one-of-a-kind getaway. Thank you for sharing your little piece of the woods with us! 🌲

This area was super private and magical! Pictures don’t even come close to what it was like to be in the vicinity of the treehouse. There was plenty of room to also set up a tent and lots of areas to kick back and hang. John was the best and was so quick to respond and share knowledge of the Charlevoix area. His treehouse was designed thoughtfully and the photo album was a fun touch.

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!

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!

The spot was very well thought out. We stopped to check out the camp right around check-in to be sure we knew what to expect when we returned later that night. We started the evening out at a beautiful upscale concert in dress clothes and came back to reground ourselves. We needed nothing to continue our evening aside from removing our shoes, as the terrain is not meant for high heels. lol! It was very accommodating! Very well done!

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!)
