This was our first HipCamp experience, first vacation in years and first time camping with our dogs. Chuck was so kind and helpful and his property is absolutely beautiful. The loft bed stayed cool even though it was warm in the sun, the access to the river was incredible and it was so private and quiet. It was exactly what we needed, I hope we can make it back soon. Also more small amenities were provided than I expected, making it a truly easy camping experience.

This place is my favorite place to get away to. Chuck and his wife provided everything you could need to have a great time! They even added kayaks and that made our whole trip! The bed is comfy, the generator is convenient, and the view can’t be beat! 10/10 recommend this stay!

I was looking for a little escape close to home, and definitely found it here!! My son, our dog and I spent 3 wonderful days here. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and the row boat was a fun extra! I couldn’t recommend this little cabin more!!

This was our second time staying at the cabin, and we had a great time again! Our dogs love being able to run and swim, and we caught so many fish! The bed in the loft is comfortable, and the woodstove kept the entire cabin very warm all night!

This was a great riverside area and the house was perfect for what I was hoping for, which was a nice off-the-grid cabin to camp in with my kids along the water. The cabin is heated with a wood stove that puts out more than enough heat for a cold night. I even made pancakes on a griddle that was heated on top of the wood stove, which the kids thought was fun. There is a generator and lights with microwave for when you want to go back on the grid. And restrooms are an outhouse without running water. It a small cabin and is rustic, but it is also well put together and in good shape. Chuck was a very gracious host.

Another relaxing visit! Chuck and Anya do a super job as hosts! The cabin and outhouse were very clean! The front porch view of the river was amazing! We enjoyed coffee time in the morning watching the beautiful sunrise and all of the wildlife waking up! The fishing was also fun! Definitely a peaceful and relaxing vibe!

Worst experience ever. Miscommunication between husband and wife led to grumpy Chuck treating my buddy and I like crap. Would rather sleep in my truck than stay here. Host isn't people friendly and is in the people business and has his property set up to where he has to directly deal with you. Made it clear to them I was fishing all day and sleeping on property and waking up and leaving first thing in morning. A hosts dream you would think. Not Angry Chuck.

The dogs and I had a very peaceful stay at Uncle Chuck's cabin! The highlights were the sunrises over the river, all the birds and birdcalls, the wood stove that kept the cabin very cozy at night and just all of the conveniences they provide! Anya gave me a mug before we drove down to the cabin that was such a nice gift. Chuck gave me instructions on how to use everything when I got there which was very much appreciated. Overall just a very peaceful stay with lots of beautiful scenery, wildlife and conveniences.

We needed a nice warm place to stay in late October & Chuck’s cabin was perfect!
Chuck met us on arrival & showed us around the site. There is a generator for electricity to the microwave. The cabin was right by the river. Beautiful view! The wood burning stove was nice & toasty & Chuck has a nice dry supply of firewood behind cabin.
The cabin is nicely decorated with fun fun & interesting signs.
We left our fridge charger there & Anya was so kind as to mail it back to us!
Highly recommend this place!!

Uncle Chuck's is a secluded oasis. Their level of hospitality cannot be matched at a campsite. They have thought of everything. I can't wait to return!

We loved our stay at Uncle Chuck’s. The cabin had so many more amenities than expected, the bed was comfortable, and the property is beautiful. We caught lots of fish from the bank and enjoyed taking our kayaks out and building a fire. We went into the little town of Grand Rapids and found the cutest places! We are definitely going to share this property with our friends and can’t wait to make our way back!

Chuck has a great place to relax and enjoy nature. We used it as a quick getaway from the city with our dog. It doesn’t take a lot of planning of packing to have a comfortable experience, Chuck provides pretty much anything you could need at the cabin. He’s a very thoughtful host and we will be coming back!

One of the most relaxing vacations I've ever had. We went on labor day weekend and it was so secluded we barely seen anyone else the whole trip. So relaxing just to sit by the fire looking over the river while hearing nothing but nature. They provide you with just about everything you need including firewood and propane. Highly recommended!

The absolute best view was sitting at uncle chucks cabin. Watching the very peaceful river from a rocking chair was healing for the soul. The dry cabin was stocked with well water, bottle water, and games,

We visited again. It's always relaxing and the hosts responds whenever you text or call them. Chuck and his wife are friendly and even brought us fresh peaches from their trees! Our dogs loved the scenery and the swimming. You must go here! Everything you need is stocked. All you really need to bring is food and clothes. Thanks Chuck!

A Slice of Heaven on the Maumee

Maumee river & Metroparks are here!
Uncle Chuck's cabin before the journey to it was already going to get a good review, how could it not? A private cabin with some essential comfort items next to a beautiful scene with ample recreation opportunity. Then we arrived and met Chuck.
Chuck built an absolutely heavenly retreat. The craftsmanship of the cabin and outdoor utilities are beautiful and comfortable. We anticipated a traditional camping trip, except with a roof and four walls instead of a tent. We were wrong. The amenities provided on top of the comfortable setting really sealed the deal for what I'd interpret "glamping" to be. Ample firewood, charcoal, chairs, coffee, books, games, toiletries galore, and many more things I don't have enough characters to tell you about. The property offered splendid fishing opportunity, an excellent view, and perfect privacy. I could go on and on but let me tell you if youre considering a retreat to enjoy the Maumee River, look no further. A very kind, thoughtful, and skilled man will lead you to an awesome cabin for a trip you will surely enjoy.
We will be back!
