Hemlock Hideaway and its 18 acres was originally part of a larger 100-acre plot that was surveyed and settled in the late 1700's by Gideon Granger of the Connecticut Land Company. Granger sold it to one Jehoikim Burget in 1815 for the whopping price of $400. The resident house was built in 1816 by Burget and then passed down to family members over the next 5 generations, until we bought it in 2003, marking the first time the house and remaining property were ever officially sold. In the mid 1800's, a grist mill was put up across the river from the cabin, and our creek was the main road in and out of that operation. There is a gravestone belonging to the wife of Jehoikim's son, she being half Native American and therefore couldn't be buried in the local white cemetery. We also own the original hand-written deed from 1815 detailing the sale of the original 100 acres to Jehoikim Burget. Learn more about this land: Our primitive cabin nestled in the woods overlooking the Grand River is a nature-lover's paradise! Come canoe, fish, experience wine country, or unplug and just get away from it all. Please note: There is no running water or electricity at the site, but the cabin is generator-ready and there is an outhouse.  The cabin does have a wood burning stove for heat and simple cooking, however there is no running water or electricity.  That being said, the building is wired and has plugs and outlets and is generator-ready.  You provide your own generator and fuel.  We provide bottled water, sheets, pillows, flashlights, a fire ring with cooking grate, charcoal grill (you provide the charcoal), access to firewood, and an outhouse with toilet paper.  Our 1/4 mile of Grand River frontage can be accessed right outside the cabin door via a quick hike down the somewhat steep hillside.  If hiking isn't preferred, then a quick two-minute drive will take you to the Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark - a favorite of local fishermen.  Bigger groups with tents are welcome, but will need to bring all supplies beyond what we provide for two guests.

It was everything I needed it to be. Secluded, quiet, and it smelled like a campfire as soon as you walk in. I just wish it wasn’t raining outside so I could enjoy the porch swing! I’ll defininitely be back when it gets warmer outside.

In my Cottagecore Era
I fell in love with this tiny cabin in the woods! 😍 I’m usually a tent camper but given the November weather has actually been seasonally appropriate this year I couldn’t bring myself to do that. Instead, I spent two lovely evenings puttering around the cabin and yard, swinging on the porch swing or reading my book. I traveled alone so I didn’t need much space, and I could easily have shared it with a partner or a good friend. All the string and touch lights are REALLY helpful, as well as the lantern and flashlights - I never felt in the dark. And the outhouse was darling and well appointed. Can’t recommend this place enough for a getaway, either by your lonesome or with a buddy!

The pictures in the description are very accurate, The cabin is very comfortable, the location is beautiful and secluded. the host does a great job providing a lot of little extras. There isn't a lot of kindling to be found on the ground, so if you plan on having a fire it might be a good idea to bring a starter log.

Beautiful and cozy!
I loved the cabin experience at this site. My husband and I enjoyed having a little cozy space, away from the rain. It was perfect. The space sits on a lovely little patch of sasafrass trees that are especially beautiful in the early fall.

Great stay!
We had a lovely time at this HipCamp. The cabin was very cute and cozy. We enjoyed the walk down to the river and the close proximity to the beach and wineries. The host was also very helpful and communicative.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s the perfect primitive camping spot while having the bonus of the tiny cabin. I could spend all my time on the porch swing! You are fully emerged in the woods with the most spectacular view of the ravine down to the river. The cabin and the outhouse were very clean. There are private trails right outside the cabin. There’s self serve firewood located along the private lane to the cabin, which was very convenient . Our dogs also enjoyed their stay! We even saw a bald Eagle fly over the field next to the parking area! Our host was gracious enough to share the history of the property with us, making it even more special. We really liked how close it is to the lake. It was a nice, short drive to Geneva. We will definitely be back!
