Hemlock Haven Cabin
This property and tiny house
/cabin was so wonderful! The trails were great for walking the dogs on every morning before heading out to explore the sand dunes. The toilet was close to the cabin and very clean. The cabin was private, very clean and cozy. Plenty of room for my me, my husband, and our 2 large huskys. The stars each night were incredible. St ambrose cellars are very close by- great food, drinks, and entertainment within a 2 min drive. Would recommend.

The land was nice, the shelter was ideal and made a great camp. Please note: There’s a stick border around the camp that marks walking paths and areas not too drive, it turned to be very hazardous, as almost everyone tripped on these.
Would still highly recommend!
We loved the seclusion of the rustic cabin! A perfect spot for a weekend getaway! The cabin was clean and comfortable and also came prepped with lots of goodies to assist! The extra lights helped a ton and so did having an area to set belongings, both inside and outside. Everything was easy to use and access. Great location being such a short car ride over to Lake Michigan! Would definitely stay again!

Great property for a weekend away! Carport was a great cover from weather and the cabin was super cute.
After a long drive through a lot of rain, I sure was happy to have the base camp shelter to cook myself a late dinner. The solar lights made for great ambiance. Lucky for me, the clouds cleared up and there was amazing stargazing from the comfy fire ring chairs! There were many lovely walking trails on the property which I enjoyed with my dog. Leah also gave helpful local dog-friendly recommendations. Thanks so much!
This camp was perfect. Clean and open. Outhouse had very little odor and we liked the view from the window. We loved the overhead cover since it rained on us both days. There is one picnic table and a couple prep tables. We didn’t use the cabin. Very close to a gas station, distillery, winery and food if needed. Noise level was very low. Could hear the neighbors a couple times and very little road traffic. Five stars and would stay at this place again for sure.

Great spot to set up camp! Very close to many things to do, and beautiful trails to walk around behind the site. The Host was incredibly friendly, responsive and very helpful. The kids had a blast. Will come again!
Leah’s ‘Rustic Pines’ is a beautiful location. It’s brand new, exceptionally clean, and still smells of new wood. There is a gas cook stove, a queen sized mattress, a solar lantern, and plenty of candles. It’s nestled in the woods, and easy to find with Leah’s directions. There are well marked trails on the property, and it’s close to all of the local attractions. I highly recommend to anyone wanting an off grid experience!!

We loved this spot! It’s a gem. The land is beautiful with trails through the forest, epic fireflies at twilight, lots of privacy. It was a great launchpad to explore the area but still get our camping on. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I loved the place! Peaceful getaway to slow down and take in the beautiful up north living. Clean, cute and perfect setup! There was a portable gas stove top, pans and utensils so we were able to pack lighter! Leah provides some lighting options which were great but if you plan to stay up late playing games, you may want to bring extra. Leah was great at answering these questions prior to the stay so we came prepared! Would highly recommend and will stay again for sure! Thank you again Leah!
Leah was a wonderful host with great communication - everything was perfect about the campsite! Very private, in a beautiful area. Check out St. Ambrose Cellars just down the road! It is dog friendly, has live music and good food/drinks 😄

beautiful secluded spot with a small and cozy cabin. as long as you come prepared for an off-grid setting you’ll have a great time
Beautiful secluded woods. Cabin was very clean with a fresh cut wood smell. Very nice to have the carport to cook under since it rained pretty much the entire trip. Pull up couch was perfect to lounge on with a book in the evenings. Memory foam topper on the air mattress made it pretty comfortable. Kerosene heater took the chill out of the air on the 40 degree nights. Plenty of space for the two of us and our Aussie. Lots of little unexpected extras. Dog toys, bowls, and bed, binoculars, candles, lantern, and strategic solar lights outside.
We had a great time. Nice and private. Great location The bathroom and pavalion were very handy. Numerous activities less than an hour away. Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Fishtown and The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail. The Betsie Vally bike trail is right down the street, less than 1 mile.
Easy to find, secluded spot for our self contained 12’ pull behind trailer. Outhouse needed spiderwebs maintained.. grounds will be cool with continued maintenance.

Leah's place was great! It was an excellent location. I drive a Honda Civic and had no problem driving into the property. Although I was only there for one night, I would absolutely come back! They had thought of everything - they even had extra dish soap in a drawer and amenities in the outhouse. I was very impressed and enjoyed my one-night stay!

This place is a hidden gem. Super peaceful and the shelter came in clutch during the rain—kept the tent totally dry. At night, the stars were insane, like something out of a movie. The trail is covered in ferns and honestly feels magical. I’ll 100% be coming back.

Amazing stay our family love our secluded getaway.
This was there perfect spot for our family. Only 30 mins for sleeping bear dunes, 40 mins from travers city. The site offered shelter for our tents and plenty of trails to explore. The drive is a little rough for a vehicle that rides low to the ground but if you go slow you'll be fine. We will definitely be back

Took my two kids (5 & 2) tent camping on Leah's property for the first time. They had a blast eating at the picnic table under the pavilion (in the shade) and cooking in the firepit. Firewood was provided which was a nice treat and there were no mosquitoes when we were there! Overall, very private, lots of space, and loads of memories. Thanks Leah!

We used this spot as a base camp to explore the area and it went great. We had options on where to put up out tent, and we could use the carport shelter for meals and hanging out. There are multiple fire circles and an outhouse is pretty good condition. The driveway is rough, so go slow, and go slow approaching the driveway as it's easy to miss the address marker. It looks like they working on what will be a really cute little cabin in the future. We couldn't find the marked trails but I assume they just need to do some clearing of overgrowth. We'll probably book this location again. Quiet and nice.
Directions were great. Loved the carport area that had two stoves. This area was gorgeous! Thank you Leah!
We had a wonderful experience tent camping at Rustic Pines. The site was easy to find, well marked, and a quick drive from beautiful nature in Sleeping Bear Dunes.
We especially appreciated the privacy of the site and how peaceful it was, amazing for the dogs and us to unwind and relax.
We'd recommend Rustic Pines to friends, family, and all outdoor lovers looking for a place to stay.
