This land was owned by my Grandfather, Carl Mansfeldt. He farmed for many years and even had cows. We have started to develop it and put a garage and a "gazauna" on this part of land. (Gazauna is a made up name for gazebo and sauna) My parent's John and Karen Mansfeldt will be your hosts. Enjoy your walks in the woods! Learn more about this land: This is a remote, peaceful, private, forested site in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The site is overlooking a pond/ravine. One outbuilding includes a SAUNA. It is 1 mile away from the #15 ATV/snowmobile trail, 6 miles from Keweenaw Bay (Lake Superior), 3 miles from Ojibiwa casino, 23 miles from Sturgeon falls (Ottawa National forest), to just name a few things to do. We have wild raspberry and black berry bushes all throughout the woods. There are trails in the woods for hiking as well.

We had an unexpected health issue and was unable to make it. Dana issued us refund per agreement . We appreciate her quick response to our situation. We will be rebooking at a later date. We also received a note from her parents that because we we're late they left the light on. Basically that says it all. Friends to traveler's. Thanks you

Lovely “glamping” experience! Beautiful view, with nice little touches like a grate for the fire, and a table for puzzles. Temporary out house was clean and usually had deer to greet us. Really nice to have firewood available as well as electricity and wifi (glamping!)

I loved this place so much that immediately booked another night. I already left review from the previous booking but forgot to add about the sauna. The sauna works really well and it’s very clean.

The best Hipcamp, beyond amazing!
The best Hipcamp I’ve ever stayed at! It’s so pretty and well-set up, and I can’t believe how inexpensive such a gorgeous place is. It has a small cabin with a TV, wifi, sauna and shower, and dining table. The property is lovely, and the fireplace area is so romantic with the view of the pond, red bistro table, and fire pit with grill. I loved it so much that I booked another night right away as soon as I saw the place. It feels like a gorgeous private retreat. It’s worth it as its own destination. I’ll definitely come back here if I’m back in the area.

Sauna and stars!
Firefly Woods was lovely. We loved using the sauna after a couple of cold and raining days on the road. Really enjoyed having a fire and stargazing as well!

The perfect 3 day stay
My wife and I spent 3 days with 2 our dogs, and we had a wonderful time. Our hosts were amazing! We hope to visit again, and explore more of the area. Oh, our young dogs were just amazed to see deer and turkeys!

Perfect get away
This was our second time visiting and it was just as relaxing as we'd hoped. That sauna is a game changer! A highlight of this trip was watching a young deer chase a fox around the pond one morning. Not sure I'll ever see that again!

FireFly Woods Perfect Retreat
FireFly Woods is everything the reviews say it is… The Gazauna is awesome, the fire pit beckons you to enjoy and make some s’mores (free firewood is pretty great as well, just make sure to drop something into the donation box). The property is grand, beautiful and a great place to look up into the night sky (so many stars!) If you are looking for an amazing location this is the spot!

Lovely stay on a beautiful site, nice pond and fire pit with handy adjustable grill grate. The electricity, WiFi, and sauna were nice touches as well! Host was very helpful and came to meet us upon arrival to give a quick tour. Would stay again!

Cozy place in the woods
Wonderful little oasis in the woods of Baraga, MI. Dana’s parents were very nice and responsive. They even invited us to stay the rest of the week. They allowed us to sleep inside the Gauzana. Good thing as it poured the 1st day/night and still drizzled all the next day. It was warm and cozy inside even if we slept on the floor.

Magical, peaceful, brilliant
This is the most thoughtfully designed and well cared for place I have ever camped or stayed, full amenity cabins included. The space is set up perfectly and Dana's mom was very kind. Firefly Woods made for a completely stress free get away and was very inspiring. I wish we never had to leave.

Perfect, private paradise!
Beautiful piece of property, very peaceful. If you're looking for seclusion and privacy, this is the place for you. I never even thought about putting a leash on the doggies. They have created a perfect little paradise for campers in addition to offering some glamping upgrades like wifi, porta potty, split/cut firewood and shelter. The owners come to meet you when you arrive and are very helpful and sweet. I will DEFINITELY be back.

A quiet and tranquil stay.
A quiet and beautiful stay. A pond, a sauna, fireplace with wood. We also caught the blackberries in season and a meteor shower. Our hosts were so nice and friendly. Gave recommendations of great hiking trails and some off the maps.

Camping outside the box
What a great place! Easy to get to, Having WiFi was something I didn’t expect and included in the price. Definitely coming back and bringing my family. Karen and John were great and probably would of talked longer but it was raining.

Hidden gem perfect for a retreat!
I cannot believe I stumbled upon this place. At first it seems too good to be true, a serene place to camp and a luxurious sauna for that price?! This is definitely glamping for someone who loves the outdoors. Having the "Gazsauna" area with a little table and a place to charge phones seemed very fancy. The toilet and shower wasn't working, but this was no big deal as a super clean porto potty was on sight. I could tell the owner has amazing plans for this space, I'm sure when everything is as they envision it'll be stunning. I would love to bring a group back to this place for an entire weekend, 1 night was not enough. I will say, make sure you enter the address they give you.. don't press "get directions" on Hipcamp. It'll take you to a totally different property down the street...and you do not want to miss Firefly Woods!!

Absolutely perfect
This slice of Yooper heaven gave me everything I needed and more. Far enough off the beaten path to gain the seclusion I needed, yet close enough to the real world for last minute needs from the grocery. Tons of room for tents, or yard games and there’s great trees for hammocks as well. I hung mine overlooking the pond and the fire pit. I didn’t pitch my tent, splitting time sleeping in the hammock and in the Gazauna, which had lots of room, a fan, a heater if I needed, table and chairs and WiFi so I could send photos of me being lazy and content while camping. The Gazauna has a wonderful electric sauna that heats up fast and has excellent seating. Water available to rinse in the shower as well as water outside for cleaning things up. Excellent value and a wonderful host who greeted me upon arrival and was only a text or call away if I needed something. Jack, the doggo, was super friendly and cute!! If you’re looking for a special spot to camp, this is it! I already booked my next trip here. Solo camper, loving life!
