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!35 private acres of forest on rolling hill terrain.

Fantastic Place to Stay
The house was a great change in the way we stayed somewhere. Michael's price was excellent and much better then paying to stay at a hotel. The location is great as it's near a ton of cool places. We went to the John Ball zoo in Grand Rapids, the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo, and Michigan Adventure in Muskegon. Hopefully one day we will be back to walk his trails and see any other things he may have added!

First time campers
I took me and my teenage daughters and nieces and nephews to the cabin in the woods. We had an amazing time. We are city folks and Michael’s cabin provided the perfect mix out door activities as well as all the modern amenities. The basketball court was the perfect touch. Hearing Mike tell us about his future plans for his property and watching him literally building his dream with his bare hands was very inspiring. His tree house was amazing and the way he engaged with us truly made out trip memorable. He was also very helpful and replied quickly when we needed him. We had quite an adventure tubing on the river. I would recommend not taking young kids tubing, existing the river was a challenge for us to say the least. We will definitely go back next year and we can’t wait until he finishes his current upgrades. His property is going to be amazing! This was our first time ever camping but it will definitely not be our last!! Thanks Michael

The cabin was lovely, just as expected based on the photos and description. Michael shared detailed information about the area and made himself available to answer questions. The property was beautiful and provided opportunities to both relax and explore.

This cabin was such a quiet and relaxing place to spend a few days away. The property is absolutely beautiful, and has some fun trails to walk through with plenty of plants and wildlife to observe (we found some wild raspberries along one of them which made for a nice snack on our hike). The screened in porch and hammock made for a perfect place for afternoon reading and naps, and on top of it, it was only a few minutes drive to some nice fishing and a few spots in town. This was the perfect place for our trip and I would love to return.

Relaxing in the spacious cabin
My family of four enjoyed staying at the cabin. Kids enjoyed playing basketball, s’more, hiking, and relaxing in hammock. The cabin is quite spacious so we didn’t feel crowded. It worked out great for us to enjoy the little vacation.

Michael’s cabin in the woods is incredible. The cabin is beautiful and the surrounding woods is too! We had the most wonderful, restful weekend here, and Michael was an awesome host! Cannot recommend highly enough, we’ll be back soon!
