Welcome to the Hemlock Ridge Homestead! This custom log home built in the early 2000's was a dream of mine since I was 8 years old. Our family lives here year round and absolutely love it. These sites are on a seasonal road so travel in and out can be impeded at times due to weather or external forces, such as tree falls, wash outs, etc. This is a self sufficient homestead in the making. Our garden has progressed greatly, and our fruit tree orchards are starting to produce. The free range chickens are fun and quirky, offering farm fresh eggs. We just opened our second site, the Prairieview Chalet 2024 summer. Both sites offer great amenities. The Acorn Retreat cabin includes a hot tub, gas weber grill and other amenities. The boujee outhouse is shared by both sites and is cleaned regularly. The new Prairieview Chalet is an exceptional adventurers haven! It has all the things you want after a day(s) out in the wilderness, with amenities like a hot shower, fully stocked kitchen, linens and more. Our property reflects our love of the land and space. We are always making improvements, such as the timber framed chicken coop. We now have a ping pong table for our guests, and still offer farm fresh eggs. Our motto is to make every place better than we found it and hope our guests will do the same. This is a zen, quiet place to heal, reflect and refill your cup of life:)

1 night at Lake Michigan Surf Camp + Sauna

Such a beautiful, peaceful spot right on Lake Michigan! Tucked into a quiet cedar grove on the Garden Peninsula, the site offers a rare combination of off-grid tranquillity and direct access to the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The new wood-fired sauna was an absolute highlight, the perfect way to warm up after a swim! Waking up to the sound of waves, relaxing by the fire at night, and a true off-grid vibe. The fire-pit area in the trees provides a cosy, sheltered setting for an evening under the stars. There has been a lot of care put into this place. If you’re looking for a beach-camp experience that feels more intimate and upgraded (thanks to the sauna!) rather than a busy campground, this spot is highly recommended. Ideal for folks who want to unplug, still have beach/morning water access, and enjoy a little extra luxury in the wild.

We loved everything about this spot. From the secluded camping, to the beach access steps away. It really lets you enjoy all nature has to offer. They’ve kept everything in immaculate condition. We only wished we brought a table for food prep! We watched a beautiful full moon rise right over the lake. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

What a special spot. My son and I spent two days at Eli’s Surf Camp, and could easily have stayed longer! Steps from the beach, sleeping to the sound of the waves. Sunrise perfection. A cozy, wind-sheltered fire pit. And a sauna!! Winning on all counts. Nicely done Eli! Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Lake Michigan Surf Camp + Sauna

Wow, this is an absolute gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Surf Camp. The sauna was such a perfect addition to this camp- it made our stay feel like a spa get away on Lake Michigan. The firepit and sauna are tucked back in the trees making it feel so private and cozy (and blocking the wind!) You just can’t beat the Lake Michigan beach either- we loved being able to walk out of our nook in the trees directly onto a massive beach with plenty of space to explore and hang out. Our dogs were obsessed, we were obsessed. It was perfect! 10/10 Hipcamp- we can’t wait to come back!!

I did get lost on the trail roads but was able to find the spot with help from a neighbor. The spot was gorgeous, quiet and clean. It was secluded but there are still houses nearby. Great spot in the UP for car campers but bigger rigs might have some issues. Having access to the beach and a beach fire pit was incredible. Definitely would recommend!

This land was absolutely stunning. The beach view was amazing, and also offers a beautiful more secluded vibe in the wooded section. Our favorite thing was probably the fire pit on the beach. 5 stars would definitely recommend!

Super cool little spot. Personal favorite stand outs— being able to set up the directly on the beach, and the incredible fresh smells of the cedar cove.

A gem of a spot! We enjoyed our time here swimming in the sandy shallow water for a perfect summer weekend! The site was nicely tucked away from the beach to offer some privacy while still seeing the beach through the path/clearing. Neighboring properties are pretty close around the site which was unexpected, but we still felt secluded enough and everyone we did encounter was incredibly friendly :) Expect biting flies if there is rain before/during your visit! They left us alone once the weather cleared but it would’ve been nice to expect that before they swarmed us upon arrival. There was a dog tie out on site which was nice to have as a back up, and the privy was a good perk, though it’s positioned a little high so if you have a portable squatty potty plan to bring/use it. The drive to the site was marked clearly on the maps which was great, but I would caution anyone with 2 wheel drive- you could probably make it but we were grateful to have an AWD vehicle. Great sunrises and the cotton candy skies reflected at sunset we gorgeous! Would love to come back!

We had such a great time at the Surf Camp! The sky at night was unreal and falling asleep to the waves of lake Michigan was beautiful. The host was very kind and helped us with directions when we were having trouble. We have zero complaints and would/will highly recommend this spot to others.

This place was a dream come true! Quiet spot to camp among the tall pines and moss, just a few steps to take a stroll down the sandy beach. A little hard to find.. when in doubt, just keep going!

We enjoyed it here very much. I was a little suprised to see the main house so close to the site but it didnt matter. The hot tub was really relaxing after a day of excitement. The outhouse was cute and clean. The beds were comfy and the whole place had a great vibe. Loved the dogs, loved the chickens and the hosts. Would recommend.

Everything about this place suited our needs. Peace and quiet. Far away but close to town. HOT TUB! Super clean. And a very cool host. Little tricky to find at first. But what a spot. Close to trails. Quaint. Lovely. You get the point.

We had a great experience, it was super awesome to be basically off grid. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life! We put our tents on the beach and was a blast. Would definitely stay again. Only thing I recommend people renting is to make sure you stop way ahead for anything because the store/gas station up the street is ridiculously priced.
