Weekend Trip to Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

Rob's retreat was a magical wilderness wonderland. There was so much to enjoy, from trails to the fascinating library to themed gardens. It was a real off-the-grid treat! Be prepared for no water or electricity, and time to unplug. This place is for those who prefer to connect, enjoy unique experiences, and don't mind a rustic stay. Rob is a wonderful host and a fascinating human being. Be prepared to sleep soundly and be awoken by the rooster's crow! So much to discover!

Nice place to stay overnight. Very chill. Luke (the owner's dog?) is also very friendly. Nice experience.

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

Way way way better than you would think! Close enough to everything and nothing all at the the same site. Host was perfect in every way, had everything ready, cabin warmed up, even with our delayed then delayed again arrival. If you are thinking about taking your camping gear, ask first. Ed probably has everything you need. Just a cooler and food for the weekend. If you've ever closed your eyes and imagined what it would be like to wake up one day after 30 years of living in the woods and finally have that "list" done. This was what is was like sipping coffee on the porch this weekend.

Weekend Trip to Tucked - Away Cabin

The cabin is located at the deeper parts of Cathy's property in the woods and it provides a very isolated feeling from everything else. It is very clean and everything is very nicely considered to provide comfort (fire pit filled with wood, kitchen with necessary accessories, etc) , so that all that is left for you is to enjoy the experience. Cathy is very communicative and flexible for the check in experience. We would love to go back in the future.

Weekend Trip to Tincan Camp

Another stay and another great time! Jim is an exceptional host and his place is comfortable and full of character. I went with my wife, our two year old, and our dog. Having more than one bedroom is a must and I love the bidet in the bathroom.

The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. The fireplace was just at the right temperature to keep the entire cabin warm. The overall experience was amazing, would definitely recommend this place. Can’t wait to go back 😍

Weekend Trip to DaltonTraders Base Camp-Grand Cabin

This was our second time on Ed's property and it made us want to return for a third visit! The cabin is quaint and had everything we needed! The land is secluded and beautiful and our dogs loved walking the paths Ed has developed throughout. Thanks again for an incredible stay!

Weekend Trip to Muskegon Pines-Lake Cabin

Our stay at Mike's was great, the site felt pretty private and had a nice view. Mike also left firewood out for us which was nice of him, overall the experience was amazing.

Weekend Trip to Billy’s Place in the Woods

I loved the spot. Exactly as the description states: essentially a tent with elevated beds. Kept us dry through a weekend of rain. The host was very pleasant and accommodating.

Lynx Run Wilderness Retreat

8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Stanwood, MI

My property (Lynx Run) has an amazing geological and historical background. During the last ice age, glacial waters carved out the ravine in which the Betts Creek flows. Sometimes, the creek drops over 60 feet below the surrounding terrain as it meanders back and forth in oxbows as it flows toward the Muskegon River. It was once the hunting, foraging and camping grounds of the Potawatami Indians. In the late 1800's it was at the center of the Michigan Timber Industry. Running along the edge of my property is the old railroad bed where timber was once hauled away. Only two miles from my home, the logs were sent down the side of the hill and into the Muskegon River on log chutes and then floated to where the Muskegon empties into Lake Michigan. Piles of field stones indicate that after the timber industry moved on, farmers moved in and attempted to tame the land. But, fortunately for me, the land was abandoned by the farmers and has returned to a much more natural and pristine state. My land is now a part of the Manistee National Forest and I am surrounded by thousands of acres of beautiful land (both public and private). I am the only person who lives back here in this part of the forest, so seclusion and privacy are wonderful and the wildlife and beauty is abundant.

We have about 40 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. (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 work as well. 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.
