We bought this property in 2012 and have built several buildings and forged paths throughout the 32 acres. Our road is part of the North Country Trail, a footpath stretching over 4,600 miles from Middlebury in central Vermont to Lake Sakakawea State Park in central North Dakota. While tearing down the existing house, we constructed two bedrooms in the pole barn for a quick living space. Once settled in the pole barn, we a built a small log cabin with already felled timbers from the local woods, except for the box frame which was purchased from the local Amish. Prior to building our permanent log cabin home, this small cabin was our camp site and is now being rented to people that want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. In the middle of the woods, we created a campground to be enjoyed by hikers and on the North side of our property is a tree line between two fields that is a great small camper/tent camping spot.

Tree Line Tent Camping

100% (2)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 6 m

Pitch your tent on the tree line between two farm fields or pull in a short camper. Fire ring and wood provided. Beautiful in the fall overlooking the fields and trees. Camp site is located on a 33 acre property that is bordered by the St. Joseph river. Walking paths through the 33 acres of woods and field. During wet seasons, the lower trails will be flooded and/or muddy. Our dirt road is part of the North Country Trail, which is over 4,600 miles of trail. There are other hiking areas in the area to include Lost Nations. The St. Joseph river is on the property which is a five minute walk from the camp site. The river can be kayaked however, trees fall creating obstacles and can be shallow when it hasn't rained. This river is very scenic from Jonesville to Litchfield and extremely secluded, it is a hidden gem. For a fee, we provide kayaks and, if needed, transportation to where you want to kayak. The Kalamazoo river is less than 15 minutes away and is also a great place to kayak albeit on the good days it is crowded. Like shopping? Antique shops within 15 minutes. The city of Allen is the Antique capitol of Michigan. There are many food shopping markets in the area. If our hens are laying in abundance you may score some farm fresh eggs too. Bugs are included, there is no stopping them. When it is not winter, bring bug spray. *WARNING* We have cats and dogs, hens and roosters and other wildlife. Solomon and Abigail greet everyone, they will get bored with you and leave. DO NOT FEED OUR DOGS. The chickens are guarded with an electric fence and the roosters crow, whenever they like. There are cows down the road and you may smell them if the wind is right (does not happen often). The cats are barn cats and roam. It is their job to deter and stop the life of small rodents and they do. There are also coyotes, eagles, and owls, which prey on small animals. *WARNING*.
