I am creating a homestead based on simple but holistic living. The cabin was built built by myself with the help of family and friends. There are a number of trails to walk on the 35 private acreage of rolling hills. This heavily wooded land hosts much wildlife and beautiful scenery. There is a sport court which provides opportunities to play basketball, volleyball, pickleball, or badminton. The property is a work in progress with lots of plans for the future; including a food forest, natural pool, recreation building (being built summer 2022), and more.. The property offers a chance to reconnect with each other, yourself, or the natural world in a simplistic and harmonious way. I hope you come experience it!
35 private acres of forest on rolling hill terrain. Lots of wildlife nestled very close to the flat river; 30-40 minutes away from Grand Rapids. The Fred Meijer trail provides great biking or hiking opportunities. Lazy float tubing or kayaking down the flat river is very popular and only a short walk away. Horse back riding, golf courses, and an amazing local bakery all within a couple miles. And a fun sport court (basketball hoop, volleyball/badminton/pickelball net all right on site!

We have about 35 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. (Large 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 last as long as usual. If it's chilly, we do have a portable heater available.
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.

Learn more about this land:
Escape to a quiet riverfront haven where the only sounds are birdsong, rustling leaves, and the Little Muskegon River drifting by.
Your campsite is completely private — a wooded sanctuary with direct river access, a peaceful creek, and a firepit overlooking the water. We keep this land intentionally limited to one single campsite, ensuring you have the entire space to yourself with no neighbors, no noise, and no shared areas.
Spend your day floating down the river, casting a line, or wandering the forest paths. When the sun is warm, set a chair right in the shallow edge of the river, dip your feet into the cool current, and enjoy a cold drink as the water flows gently around you.
Friendly, well‑behaved dogs are welcome here — they love exploring the woods and splashing along the riverbank just as much as their humans do.
As evening settles in, watch the sky fade to stars and fall asleep to the soft rhythm of the river. Guests tell us the peace and seclusion are what make this place special — and why they return year after year.
Check‑in and check‑out are flexible, and you’re free to settle in and enjoy the space at your own pace.
If you’re looking for a quiet, nature‑filled getaway where you can truly unwind, this is it.

I love camping at Three Happy Turtles in Audrey’s land! The open fields lined with tall sunflowers is so beautiful as I tent camp in the back behind the barn where there is plenty of shade and partial sunlight. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and I feel very safe here. The price is perfect for my stay and I hope to have many more nights booked here in the future. I love that there are party lights strung up and firewood available if I need it. I have access to water, as well. St. John’s is not far away for shopping and food. It has plenty to offer. I’m also close enough to work to make staying possible. It’s truly been a pleasure to be out here among such friendly people.
