49mi from Okemos · 1 site · Lodging

Need a quiet, secluded getaway? Our off-grid cabin is on approximately 10 acres of private woods. As you turn off the main road into our cabin's driveway, you will begin to understand why this is our hidden gem. Enjoy the coziness of a wood stove in the winter or a crackling fire in seclusion in the summer- this little getaway cabin is sure to create fond memories. Maybe you will hear the horned owl at night or see an eagle while you kayak. Your adventure or a peaceful vacation awaits. The 450-square-foot cabin has a queen bed in the loft and two cots that can accommodate more guests. Guests must be able to climb a wooden log ladder. The kitchen has a two-burner stove and oven that can hold a 9x13 pan. Although we do not have running water, we do have a hand-washing sink and a sink for washing dishes. We also provide you with plenty of water for washing and drinking during your stay. As it is well water, you may want to take your own drinking water, if you prefer. We also have dishes, utensils, hot dog sticks, fry pie makers, pots and pans, a tripod grill for over the fire, and a small charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal). You will also want to bring a cooler to keep any food cold. Outside, we have a fire pit, wood to collect or purchase, and a hammock to fully enjoy your stay. Our bathroom is an outhouse and has been described as the “cleanest outhouse in Michigan.” Our latest addition is a seasonal rustic outdoor shower! We provide water that is heated by solar power (or you can heat some on the stove to hurry the process!) The shower is seasonal - only available from May to September. Within 1/4 mile is the St. Joe River which is a great place for kayaking. We also have kayaks and quads for rent. We also have some short trails on the property and a railroad bed adjacent to the cabin area. Our cabin is powered by a small and very quiet Honda generator. It is super easy to start. The cabin’s main source of heat is a wood stove with wood we provide. An air conditioner is provided for the summer. For more than two people will be an additional $10 per night per person. Pets are a $25 per pet additional fee. Pets are not to be on furniture and not to be taken into the loft for their protection.

The space is absolutely beautiful. I understand it's a co op and the members take pride in caring for this campground. With a few club houses, tent camping options, and full hookups, there's no reason to overlook this location if your trip takes you by.

Weekend Trip to Wisper Wind Farms

I can’t say enough how much we loved our stay at Wisper Wind Farms! The hosts were so welcoming and helpful. The site was very well maintained. Each site had lots of privacy because of how thick and old the surrounding brush is. Access to their pool was a huge highlight and literally made the trip. Their neighbors put on an amazing firework show so our 4th of July weekend getaway was perfect! Thank you Wisper Wind Farms.

Check-in was a breeze, and the campsite was perfect. Secluded, quiet, and peaceful. The pine trees were majestic, and the birdsong was a symphony. Perfect!

This was a great campsite for our family! It was very peaceful and well kept. My kids loved getting to see the animals everyday. It’s nice feeling like you’re away from the world, but really only 10 minutes from most conveniences. The hosts were extremely helpful and willing to answer our questions. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

2 nights at Little Cabin in the Woods

We loved our stay at Sandy’s cabin! We’ve stayed in cabins all over the world, and who knew the perfect one was only an 2-hour drive away! Every little detail has been thoughtfully attended to. The cabin is warm and inviting with any item you might need. Bathroom facilities were so clean, and the property is a dream for bird watching and wandering with your dog. It was hard to decide whether to hang out in the sunroom/porch or outside in the lovely, quiet forest setting. Great fire pit area, and dark skies for star gazing. We can’t wait to return!
