The property was originally owned by a family name Nichols (thus the name of the lake). It was handed down to the sons who each owned half the property. The driveway down the middle of property that leads to the lake was originally a fence line that divided the two pieces of property. The brothers did not get along and their are several stories of their warring on how to maintain the property.My parents bought this piece of property in 1964 and created a camp called "Lakeside Farm Camp", a small all boys camp. The camp has gone through several changes since then but has always been owned by the Edwards family. In 1984 the name was changed to "Cedar Lodge" a coed camp that specializes in English horseback riding and offering high level general camp activities. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our totally private fresh water lake. Take your boat out for a day of fishing or just chill next to the fire. Sites are approximately 50 feet from each other. If you want privacy we suggest you book both.

Our property is on little fish lake.
Camp easy sits up on a hill over looking little fish lake where you can watch the sunrise in the morning and stars come out at night. We have our own private beach and a canoe that you can enjoy. Our own home sits on this property but camp easy is far enough back in the woods to feel like you are alone.

Group trip
Great spot. We were the only cabin, so lots of privacy and the bathroom to ourselves. We rented a canoe and purchased firewood, they were ready and waiting upon our arrival. Lake was great to canoe around. Trail loop was short and sweet, but a nice walk through the woods. Seeing the horse get let out in the afternoon was really nice.

Weekend Trip to Camp Easy
We absolutely loved this place! We got there later in the evening and the solar lights around the lavu were already lit up making it a beautiful sight to see at first glance. It was very private and we didn't see anyone the whole visit which was nice. However the neighbor across the lake and his turkey call at 8am was not what we wanted to wake up to. Aside from that it was completely perfect and we highly recommend!

We stayed in Penguin Palace. The cabin and campsite were clean and as expected. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake, relaxing by the fire pit, and peach picking nearby. I would recommend this place for a nice outdoor weekend!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Retreat at New Richmond
We loved our time at Trestle Bell! It was so nice to arrive to our site and have firewood waiting for us, as well as potable water. We really enjoyed the riverside location near Fennville and it was a short drive to Saugatuck and Douglas.

We had a great time! Our group was five families, 10 adults and 6 young kids. We booked both tent sites and basically sprawled out all around the lake access. The kids bounced between the playset and the lake and it was really nice to be able to see the kids from the tent area. We also appreciated being able to shower and collect potable water. The host was very helpful and everyone we interacted with on the property was lovely.

This was a nice place to stay at, we had everything we needed from cooking utensils, propane stove, towels, bug spray, dishes, to potable water. Toilet is clean! Short walk to the lake, they had a canoe and some seats by the water. It was pretty private and quiet by the yurts. The lake had a bit more traffic, but still able to remain somewhat secluded. Easy spot for small family trips.

The cabin was easy to get to but felt far away from the real world. We enjoyed having a fire in the pit every night and cooking our dinner and s'mores over it. The owner was always prompt and accessible for any questions we had. Would recommend if you're looking for a primitive cabin site.

The location was breathtaking! At the top of the hill overlooking the lake! We even had a firework show! There was plenty of space for everything we brought. Very beautiful spot!
She provided everything we needed! Bedding, utensils, lanterns, cast irons skillets……I definitely over packed!
The host was very nice and responded to any questions I had very quickly!
Very clean site! We will definitely be booking again!
