Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

The host is so hospitable! They don’t come any nicer! There are trails to hike, animals to pet, and a creek to enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

Some friends and I took tent sites 1, 2, and 3 along the river with our sons, and it was great! We had a fantastic time, fishing and exploring the river. The hosts were attentive and accommodating. We would definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

The property was beautiful and secluded. Our boys had so much fun!

2 nights at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

We stayed on site 3 with our one year old and our dog for our first camping adventure since our baby was born. It was exactly what we needed—beautiful, peaceful, and also very convenient. Jay and Heather’s hospitality for a campsite was better than most Airbnbs I’ve stayed! If you’re daunted by lugging your camping gear into a spot marked “secluded”—don’t be. They helped us move everything we needed in a golf cart (and we brought a lot because of our baby). I loved birdwatching and listening. My husband loved fishing and walking in the river. Our baby loved to the ponies and Rusty. Our dog loved meeting another dog friend! We cannot wait to come back! Even if site 3 isn’t right for your family or setup, I guarantee you one of the other spots will be!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Beautiful area, clean, lots of wood, a generator, a beautiful dead tree, a hiking trail nearby, lovely water, wildlife, safe spot for my cat and I to enjoy.

1 night at Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

This is a very nice location, and the hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The camp sites are well thought out and designed as camp sites. This is not just parking in someone's back yard like some locations are. The hosts have put real effort into making a pleasant location. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

My husband and I spent a 2-night getaway at Uncle Chuck’s cabin. It was a cool, rainy weekend and the cabin stayed toasty warm with the wood burning stove! Plenty of fire wood supplied, as well as paper plates and bowls and plasticware and some bottled water, Kuerig with coffee and hot chocolate. We slept well; loved the porch and view of the river; we walked the trail; played some Yatzee and cards … went into town for dinner. We hope to come back in the future with our kids and bike the trail!

Very nice cabin. Me and my grandson had a great time. Great view of the river. You just got to know going in that it is a primitive cabin. Thanks to the host, Chuck and his wife for making everything easy and enjoyable.

Weekend Trip to Rusty's Retreat with pond and river

Beautiful place. Awesome hosts. Helped us set up and hung out with us for a bit.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

We loved our stay at Uncle Chuck's Cabin! The amazing waterfront property does not disappoint! The cabin was great and very well appointed. We enjoyed being so close to the tow path trail and hiking to the nearby metroparks. Chuck was just the sweetest and made sure to leave no some unturned when showing us around the property!

2 nights at Uncle Chuck's Cabin

We had a great time, very peaceful and private. Chuck and his wife were very kind. We had a blast fishing, better than we expected! We didn’t even want to leave this morning! We caught 4 fish in 1 hour 45 mins before we left. 3 drums and a baby cat. Yesterday evening 2 large cat fish 3 lbs and 5 pounds, along with another drum. A lot of things are provided for you which is amazing. We brought everything we needed because we were unsure what was there, we forgot a couple of things but Chuck had them handy, like tongs and an oven mitt. You can get by while staying here with just clothes, fishing poles and food. It’s set up like you were visiting your parent’s cabin, it’s a nice and convenient stay! We couldn’t use the boat because the water was choppy but I would have LOVED to be out there and it would’ve made it even better. I’m already trying to figure out when to come back when weather is better!

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Great location on the water with nothing but privacy with no one around. Cabin was awesome for someone who loves the rustic trip with no running water and little electricity. Easy and quick introduction before settling in.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

This cabin was amazing! It's tied for first place for my favorite cabins. It is very clean, private, has an excellent view, and great amenities. The price is very competitive. Chuck and Anya were very nice and accommodating. It was cold out, the stove kept the cabin cozy with the provided firewood. I'm very short and the provided footstool made accessing the loft steps easy. Would stay here again.

Cabin was clean and well kept! Land was beautiful, river was beautiful! We had a great day/night.

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

this was a perfect cozy cabin experience. everything provided if you left something behind. Chuck was very helpful with directions and when refilling the generator. Love the wood stove, we took the chance to cook inside instead of in the cold on a gas stove

Weekend Trip to Uncle Chuck's Cabin

Lovely spot, just as cozy as can be! Chuck showed us how to operate the cabin and we spent a warm night snuggled up inside. It was a little cold and snowy to use the expansive front porch to admire the river, but we look forward to another visit during the warmer months:).

We bought this 125+ year old farm in 2010 with the hope of bringing it back to life. Overgrown and neglected, we have worked hard to make it a nice place for hiking, kayaking, fishing or any number of other activities. Peaceful and remote, the property has a beautiful brook that leads you to the South branch of the Portage river. Deer, turkey, geese, herons, mink and fox are just a few of our natural animal friends. Rusty the steer and his pony friends Lexi and Little Bits can be visited while they graze in the pasture. There are chickens and Brindle the barn kitty. We have the perfect place for dogs as well. We have four dogs that get along great with others and our fenced pond keeps them safe.
