Welcome to Thousand Suns – an 84-acre sanctuary nestled in the heart of nature, lovingly cultivated to support healing, reflection, and connection. This isn’t your typical campground. Here, the land is vibrantly alive and holds space for both traditional and non-traditional ceremonies, as well as moments of quiet solitude or joyful gathering.
Wander scenic forest trails, swim in spring-fed waters, or sit beside the flowing river — all part of a landscape that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself. Whether you’re here to rest, explore, or reconnect, Thousand Suns offers a grounded, heart-centered experience.
Throughout the month, we host community events and offer private sessions in yoga, bodywork, breathwork, and other holistic practices designed to nourish the body and spirit. Fresh eggs are available from our chickens and turkeys, and you’ll likely spot our friendly goats during your stay.
Guests are welcome to use the community kitchen — a shared space where you can store your food and prepare meals with ease.
Thousand Suns is the perfect retreat for solo travelers, families, and spiritual seekers alike. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones or journeying inward, our land provides a supportive and sacred backdrop.
Please note: a train passes by the front of the property several times a day. While some find it grounding and nostalgic, others may wish to bring earplugs if they’re sensitive to sound.
Bring your fishing pole, your swim trunks, and an open heart. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Our goal was to find a place we could wake up in the woods, and this was the spot! Nice having coffee on the deck overlooking the property and ending the day w a fire. We were pretty self-sufficient, but my impression was that if we needed something we could just message to ask. I would have liked to be more social w. our hosts but just didn’t have the energy; the whole point of us being there was for a much needed respite. Also we were there during the work week and they were busy going about their business. We stayed in the treehouse and didn’t need the heat even, it is pretty well insulated which also cuts the train noise others commented on. Super cute goat! Very personable turkey! Definitely the woods go back a fair ways for exploring. We found good nearby hikes too; the big loop around the lake at Metamora-Hadley was a really good route.

Loved the location! Just far enough into the wilderness to have the right "feel", yet close enough to town for anything Marquette offers. Warm, comfortable cabin with a wonderful, old northwoods character and rustic charm. Wish we could have stayed for a week.

If you're looking for a place to get away for a few days I'd highly recommend. Booked during the week in September and had the whole place to myself. Plenty of places to walk around on the property and explore. I stayed in the treehouse and would encourage you to try it for yourself.
The hosts left me pretty much to myself unless I requested something and they were friendly and quick to respond if I needed something (fresh eggs, firewood, etc).
The tent campsites I saw were all nice and clean and were far enough apart to have some privacy if they have multiple guests. They also have a group campground.
One note, watch the chickens, they are sneaky and will sneak up and steal your food if you aren't careful.
I'll definitely be back.

We loved our stay at Shawn’s 100-year-old cabin. The cabin is beautiful, with lots of thoughtful and creative touches that made it really comfortable, no need for plumbing or electricity. The cabin is tucked away in a quiet clearing in the woods with a view of hogback mountain, in a great location to visit nearby outdoor sites and just a short drive into Marquette. There are trails to hike and mountain bike from and near the cabin. We were able to sit outside on the porch overhang and enjoy the outdoors even on rainy days. We saw/heard hummingbirds, owls and lots of other birds, and appreciated being able to have our small elderly dogs safely off leash in the yard with us, easy to keep an eye on. We had some trouble with the location coordinates in our map, but Shawn tracked us down and led us back to the cabin. Once we found it, it was straightforward to get to. It was great getting to chat with Shawn, and though nothing came up that we needed support with during our stay, we really appreciated Shawn’s availability. We hope to return in the future!

Patrick was great, place is great. As we were pulling in Patrick was up in the treehouse installing an air conditioning unit because it has been so hot. So glad he did, it was over 90 degrees throughout most of our stay. Appreciated it so much.

Weekend Trip to The Jolly Treehouse
The spot is private in a wooded area by a pond, and the little cabin is neat. Sleeping on the futon was a little rough on my back, but better than the ground! We hope to come back again, and I'll bring a mattress topper next time. Because the weather had been overcast for a while, there wasn't enough solar power for my little fan or hot plate, but it charged my phone just fine.

Perfect little rustic cabin. Very private. We didn’t mind not having electricity or water. We camp in a tent a lot so we brought everything we needed as far as water for dishes and camping lights/lanterns. The cabin has some lighting, but having the additional helped. Shawn was a great host, extremely helpful and generous. We would absolutely recommend this perfect, quaint little cabin! Thank you Shawn!

1 night at The Jolly Treehouse
The Jolly Treehouse was the perfect place to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday with a quick getaway. It is tucked away in the woods while still maintaining beautiful views of the land around! I purchased the s'more and firewood bundle and had a wonderful time sitting around and enjoying the campfire with my girlfriend. We did some arts and crafts at the campsite, enjoyed the hammock, sat on the bridge that goes over the pond, and played some of the games provided inside of the treehouse. The treehouse itself is a gorgeous space!! We slept with the doors open, as there is netting covering any openings, and listened to the rainfall on the tin roof as we slept. Derek provided wonderful directions pertaining to the rules of the treehouse, and I couldnt have asked for a better time at The Jolly Treehouse(((:

Weekend Trip to Possum Creek Campground
My fiance and I booked 2 nights at site 3. The cabin with Suana. What a great place Shawn has. Shawn was super accommodating and helpful, and not to mention friendly.
Plan to meet Shawn in town and he will guide you to the camp.
We made it fine in our little car, but keep in mind there is a few miles of dirt and sand road. Alot of rain could make the drive muddy.
The suana was utilized both nights. What a sweet perk!
Ive had alot of experience in suanas but never in a wood fired, home built one! That was fun!
There is a pretty lake nearby that Shawn dropped us at. He has kayaks and fishing poles available for guests.
Lots of trails nearby, a beautiful, spring fed stream on the property.
Stove available for use in the cabin which we utilized for boiling water and baking potatoes.
Definitely would recommend and we have his place earmarked for a future visit!
Thanks for the great weekend Shawn!

This is SUCH a cute space. Derek has created an adorable spot here, and the treehouse is absolutely full of thoughtful touches that make it feel really special (so many things- a spot for kids to play under the treehouse, an ax for splitting wood if you need it, peppermint oil in the outhouse). I brought my bin of camping basics (lighter, bowl and mug, etc), and found that I didn't even have to open it. I'm definitely more of a backpacker than a glamper, but this went above and beyond glamping. There are some really good mountain biking trails and hiking trails nearby, and it's very accessible to Ann Arbor but also feels quiet and removed from the city. Great stay, and would definitely recommend.
