30 acres hosted by Paul And Lisa C.

The beautiful area between Ludington and Manistee are the ancestral lands of the Ottawa (Odawa) people. After being logged by Costello over 100 years ago, these acres were cleared for planting by hardworking immigrant farmers. Farming was unsuccessful in the sand and clay soils and soon the forest reclaimed the old fields. The logging roads, drainage troughs, and farming implements left behind remind us of this history. After the traditional L-shaped farmhouse burned in the late 1990's, a historic Victorian home was moved from nearby Scottville and placed on the back side of the farm overlooking the Lincoln River. The Victorian was built on State Street in the late 1800's by Nathan G. and Clara Mae Sayles. Nathan was postmaster and president of the People's State Bank of Scottville and Clara Mae lived in the house until 1950. The farm is now home to a happy family, a tiny herd of a heritage breed of sheep and a small brood of chickens. Wildlife finds sanctuary here including beautiful barred owls, woodpeckers, grouse, woodcock, ravens, white tailed deer, turkey, and the occasional fox and coyote. A black bear visited once and was scared off by a fat house cat named Gus. With deep respect for those who came before us, you are invited to enjoy the history and peace of this place in rustic camp sites on the park-like west side of Havenshire's 50 acres.
