My husband and I had an amazing time. We were welcomed by the hosts who showed us around and had recommendations of restaurants and things to do in the area! They were constantly checking in, making sure we had a great time. The place was clean, quiet, and cozy. It is a great experience for those who enjoy camping but want a cozy bed to sleep in at night. The hosts also made sure we had fire wood each day and cleaned the outhouse every day. Would highly recommend this prosperity, we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Torch Lake Stays
Connie and Dave are great hosts with a quiet getaway. The A-frame was comfortable and clean, with nature and the creek a very short distance away. Would definitely recommend for anyone who loves nature looking to be in the Torch Lake area

The property is nice to walk on and the cabin was very comfortable compared to what you typically get while camping. The bathhouse is well kept and the camp staff were helpful. However, Make sure you bring something to cook with the BBQ grill advertised was either not there or hard to find.
Other than that, a great experience, especially if you are new to camping.

Highly recommend Cabin #7! We stayed here after 3 long nights of tent camping and exploring the Upper Peninsula. The bathhouse was an absolute dream, and the cabin was beautiful. Definitely well worth it, the surrounding area was beautiful. Fun amenities like a playground, pavilion, hammocks, tetherball, corn hole, and volleyball. We enjoyed ourselves so much.

The host go above and beyond for accommodating their guest. The cabin literally has everything that you need and all you have to bring is yourself and food! The lake is a short distance away and the water is clear and beautiful. We were able to enjoy lots of family time on the water and the cabin has tons of outdoor games to play as well and great outdoor seating even when it rains, it’s still beautiful highly recommend this cabin for your family, fun getaways even your fur babies. Thank you again to the host. We loved our time here.

Weekend Trip to Torch Lake Stays
Connie and Dave have a beautiful property and went above and beyond as hosts. Their adorable A-frame was plenty of room for me and a friend to check out Northern MI. The property was clean and well taken care of and we felt completely out in nature with the off grid feel. On our second day my friend and I had a bit of car trouble (dead battery) but Dave came straight to our rescue! Although some of our plans didn’t pan out because of the car trouble, we still had a fabulous vacation. My absolute favorite part of the trip was the creek on this property, what a magical place to vacation❤️✨

I rented both this property and Cindy and Travis's other listing, the Wanderer's Hideaway, for a group trip with friends. It worked out super well, with the two sites backing up to each other and the spacious, fenced-in yard (perfect for our two dogs!) inbetween. We had plenty of space for group activities and meals outside, loved the inclusion of the paddle boat and kayaks, and everyone enjoyed sitting on the front and back porches throughout the weekend.
Would highly recommend a trip to the beach at Wilson State Park if you're wanting to swim - the lake access is more suited to just launching the small boats. Also just a warning that both staircases are a little precarious and that the only way to access the backyard from the house requires walking through the master bedroom (this wasn't clear from the photos).
However, if you're planning to spend almost all of your time outside in the backyard like we did, this an excellent spot! Cindy and Travis provided so many fun amenities - we kept finding more and more fun things in the shed to use.
Hosts were quick and easy to communicate with and provided lots of detailed directions so we had all the information we needed. Would definitely stay again!

I loved the A frame cabin. It was so nice to be camping but also get to shower and sleep in a comfy bed. The property is very spacious and we had a chance to get out and walk it several times. Our pup also really loved the dog park! It felt like you were away from the big city. But also we could get to anything we needed in 20 mins or so. Traverse City ~1 hr, dunes, beach, hiking, local produce….it was perfect for our idea of a camping vacation.

I can’t explain accurately how perfect this place was for my vacation. The cabin was clean, cute, and comfortable. The bathhouse was beautiful and clean. The property was very welcoming. We are already making plans to come back with the whole family because of how much we loved it! I almost didn’t want to write a review because this place is an absolute hidden gem that I don’t think will be a secret much longer!

We had a great time. The cabin was nice and had everything we needed. The large fenced in yard was perfect for my Dogs to run around. The boat launch was close and the beach at Wilson state park was nice to hang out at during the day and use our wave runners. The only thing I would change is to add a gate near the side entrance of the house. The only way to the back yard is through the master bedroom or you have to walk down the stairs and around the house to gate.

I loved staying at Bear Woods Resort! Our cabin was so cute and a comfortable place to stay. We appreciated the air conditioning unit on hot days. The land was so nice and we loved the dog park for our dog to run around, as well as the hammock swing near our cabin. The bathrooms were nearby and fairly clean.

This property and accommodations were amazing! The cabin was so cute and clean, and the private bathrooms were amazing! This was a nice break in a long tent camping trip with a comfortable bed and AC! Would highly recommend, and hope to be back again.

I’ve camped a lot and been to quite a few HipCamp places and this one by far is top on my list!! Wow! They truly live up to the ‘resort’ in the title with wonderful amenities, beautiful facilities, and such peaceful land. This will be a location we will 100% return to and I cannot wait to see the continued updates as they were still building and creating fun spaces on the land.

We had a wonderful time at Cindy and Travis’s Cabin. It is not only fully equipped, renovated, and confortable, but also full of little details to enjoy and remember. We will definitively stay again. We truly enjoyed our time there and got a little carried away with the painting-a-rock exercise. If you stay, don’t forget to do it! (the bar is high).

Cute and private little cabin, with very kind and helpful owners. The property felt like an adorable glamping situation with everything a couple could need, including a hassle free outdoor shower and outhouse. They provided plenty of wood for nightly campfires, linens and soaps, coffee, water and more. The back side of the cabin opens to a lovely, private tree covered area with a babbling brook and gorgeous scenery. Connie and Dave were very helpful with suggesting activities and restaurants in the area. We would definitely recommend this property and plan to be back in the future!

A-frame cabins in Michigan guide
Where to go
Upper Peninsula
The Upper Peninsula is Michigan’s wild toupée, with swathes of old-growth forests, sandy beaches, and inland lakes stretching along the southern shore of Lake Superior. This is the spot to escape the crowds, whether pitching your tent by the sand dunes in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, parking your RV by a waterfall in Tahquamenon Falls State Park, or yurt camping in the Porcupine Mountains. For the ultimate camping experience, the Hiawatha National Forest has some 60 campsites to choose from.
Northern Lower Peninsula
Bordered by Lake Michigan to the West and Lake Huron to the east, the northern Lower Peninsula has the highest concentration of Michigan state parks. Miles of mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking trails await in the Huron National Forest, where you can choose from modern campgrounds or backcountry camping. Along the coast, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a must-see, Wilderness State Park is a dark sky reserve, and Ludington State Park Beach is a family favorite.
Southwest Michigan
Grand Rapids is the gateway to Michigan’s southwest, where the shore of Lake Michigan provides plenty of options for a summer camping trip. Lakefront cities such as South Haven, Benton Harbor, and Holland have sandy beaches, historic lighthouses, and seafront campgrounds. Forget tent camping in the wilderness—RV sites come equipped with full hookups, playgrounds, and watercraft rentals.
Southeast Michigan
Michigan's "Thumb" juts out along the west shore of Lake Huron, where Sleeper State Park and Port Crescent State Park are the big draws for campers. Below this, the west coast is ideal for a road trip, peppered with shipwreck dive sites, secluded beaches, and golf courses. South of Detroit and Lake St. Clair, Sterling State Park is the only state park on the shore of Lake Erie, with a mix of RV and tent sites by the beach.
