My kids, the dog, and I had a wonderful time tent camping at Ed's place. It is a peaceful shaded spot with ample space to run around and explore the trails. They provide a clean port-a-potty and outdoor shower. A big jug of water was waiting for us at the tent site. The play structure kept the kids busy. I felt safe and welcomed. Highly recommend

Great place, really hospitable welcoming hosts that orient you to the space and give great suggestions. After the check-in, you’ll feel totally private at your spot —even though there are shared areas, this little cabin is tucked away in a way that feels like your own space for sure and hosts never intrude. The windows open and there is ventilation. Thoughtful lighting. Comfortable simple bed. The largest most luxurious glamping ports potty I’ve ever experienced, kept very clean and really feels like a bathroom. Shower is nice in the summer, ambient temperature, so would definitely be colder at different times of year. Dogs can be off leash, which is so nice. Hosts took our interest into consideration and offered the most perfect suggestion of where to go, which ended up being just very special. I would definitely recommend where they told us to go—Duck Lake—if you like to swim or fish or if you have kids or dogs. Duck Lake flows into Lake MI right there and you can literally walk between them in a few min. Really special landscape of so many accessibly close diverse options of shallow water or deep water or vast Great Lakes water or calm small lake water or soft sandy beaches. Really beautiful. Cabin is super cozy and relaxing. Highly recommend this spot. Thanks again .

This was our third time at Ed's but our first in a tent site. We were thrilled with our spot and the amount of space we had. The trails connected nearby making it easy to walk with our dogs and explore the land. This place is our favorite!

I had a great time staying in the Grand Cabin! Ed was super helpful giving us a tour on arrival and had great local recommendations. The cabin was in a great location to go spend a day at one of the nearby state park beaches. We loved coming home to hammock and have a campfire!

Ed was a warm and communicative host. The cabin offered lots of basics. Close to Muskegon State Park for a beautiful beach. Fire pit and camp stove were both well appointed for cooking. Beautiful spot.

We absolutely LOVED staying at Ed’s place! They were so nice and we loved playing ball with Coco, their dog! The property was beautiful, there was plenty of space & we took advantage of the trails. Close to Muskegon & Grand Haven and overall we had a great time. Thank you, Ed! We will be back!

My experience here was very pleasant. I asked the host if I could come a couple hours early to drop off my camper to be able to go to Michigan adventures on time. He accommodated and was extremely friendly.
I would definitely come to this campsite again. Great location and very friendly hosts.

Way way way better than you would think! Close enough to everything and nothing all at the the same site.
Host was perfect in every way, had everything ready, cabin warmed up, even with our delayed then delayed again arrival. If you are thinking about taking your camping gear, ask first. Ed probably has everything you need. Just a cooler and food for the weekend.
If you've ever closed your eyes and imagined what it would be like to wake up one day after 30 years of living in the woods and finally have that "list" done. This was what is was like sipping coffee on the porch this weekend.

This was our second time on Ed's property and it made us want to return for a third visit! The cabin is quaint and had everything we needed! The land is secluded and beautiful and our dogs loved walking the paths Ed has developed throughout. Thanks again for an incredible stay!

We loved our stay at Dalton Traders Grand Cabin. Peaceful and quiet. Weather was unseasonably warm so we did not need the woodstove. Had some lovely rain showers overnight which made the cabin even more cozy. Very private with the cleanest porta potty I've ever seen. Ed was responsive and very welcoming. Cabin was clean and well organized. Close to downtown Muskegon and the state park where we found some excellent hiking opportunities. We will definitely be back next winter for some snow sports!

A wonderful stay enjoyed by us and our two dogs. A rare warm weekend in March, so the cabin stayed cozy with ambient temperature. Very quiet surroundings, comfortable and easy to enjoy a campfire outdoors, a nice food prep area indoors. Definitely the most immaculate, comfortable outhouse port-a-john I've ever seen! Camp is a short drive to hike in Muskegon State Park and visit downtown. Ed's a very thoughtful and friendly host!

I couldn’t have been happier with my stay, like a lot of the other reviews said Ed was an incredibly friendly warm and helpful guy. The cabin was very private. I couldn’t see anything or anyone which was perfect. It’s, fairly primitive, but with just the right touches to make you feel comfortable. The fire pit was great, plenty of wood. The wood-burning stove was definitely one of my favorite parts. I’ve never felt so cozy.! Will definitely be coming back!

This was such a sweet little cabin. It had beautiful craftsmanship and had a great wood burning stove. We enjoyed cooking outside over the fit pit. They also had a Coleman inside where we made our coffee in the morning. Ed provided snow shoes to explore the property. The location is nice because it is quiet but close enough to Muskegon state park to have a nice adventure. I highly recommend Dalton cabin. Ed was very friendly and a great host.

Ed & Pat are absolute gems. I thought I might be a bit earlier than planned & they were willing to work with me and communicated with me to make sure everything was on track. The cabin is cozy, clean, charming, warm, and honestly just perfect. My dog never wanted to come in though; he loved running around in the snow. Ed explained how everything worked and on my second day I was able to keep my fire alive in the wonderful wood burning stove. I watched a deer eat corn off a tree trunk right outside the cabin. There are plenty of stores, gas stations and food spots on the way and nearby, but not too close. You really do have privacy & plenty of woods and quiet to love. It’s a perfect place to unwind, read a book by oil lamp and fire, and feel human again! I will be back for sure!

I’ve just stayed at the Dalton Grand Cabin hosted by Ed and Pat. I recommend this stay to anyone who enjoys a private and peaceful place in the woods. Surrounded by tall and majestic oaks and beech trees, this little cabin had everything I needed for my short stay. I would have definitely stayed longer, but it’s a high demand place, and for good reason!
Ed met me upon arrival and showed me the cabin and grounds, and he showed me how to work the lovely efficient wood stove in the corner. Plenty of wood was provided as were some nice amenities.
The location is also very convenient to the Muskegon/West Michigan area, and I had a great time checking out the Lakeshore and the winter recreation park nearby.
So, thank you, Ed and I look forward to seeing you again when the weather warms up a bit!

It was a cozy and overall amazing experience. Ed was very welcoming and helpful. Our dogs loved running around in the snow. It was a huge plus that Ed let us use their snowshoes! We are already thinking of our next trip here.

Wow! This is the kind of spot that hipcamp was made for. Delightful and cozy with plenty of land to walk on, plenty of wood for the stove to keep cozy, the most clean and welcoming portapotty you’ve ever seen in your life…near a cute little town to boot! I was even treated to some homemade peanut brittle that made me a big hit back home.
I stopped here on my trip back to Minnesota for Christmas, and I’m so glad I did! The hosts were incredibly flexible and understanding and made sure I was properly settled when I got in.
Absolutely worth the 2 hour detour for me and I hope to return sometime!

Excellent stay, a really wonderful space to escape for a weekend. Close enough to town if you need to make a run, but secluded and very private.

Ed’s cabin really is a little paradise tucked away in the woods. From the cozy wood burning stove, to the sprawling trails it’s a perfect off the grid getaway if you want some peace and quiet. Ed himself was super nice, and greeted us on our way in, gave us a tour of the cabin and instructions on how to work everything, and saw us off on our way out! Couldn’t picture a better weekend, thanks Ed.
