Wonderful Secluded Cabin
I loved my stay here and would definitely love to return. The area is quiet and secluded, and though there is a local road close by, the traffic is light and was not a disturbance. The cabin itself I found to be clean and comfortable, and the indoor wood-burning furnace kept me warm and comfortable at night even in freezing temperatures. I slept in one of the loft twin beds and found it comfortable. The sheets and comforter were clean and offered more than enough warmth when coupled with the heat of the furnace. The owners offer generously sized bags of firewood there for purchase which really came in handy, and they also allow you to gather wood from around the property.
The composting toilet was clean and simple to use—they have information posted as to how to use it and how it works—and I didn’t find it smelly or unpleasant, unlike many of the pit toilets I’ve used at campgrounds. You simply cover the waste in sawdust that is provided for you, and that’s that!
I was traveling alone, which can be a little scary for a lone traveler, but I never felt nervous or unsafe—I was grateful to have a lock on the cabin door as opposed to being alone in a tent.
This was definitely one of the best places I’ve gotten to stay, and I hope to return with my whole family someday.

Great Host
While I wasn't able to visit this location as planned, Lisa was particularly helpful and very quick to respond to my questions.

Thoughtful and caring owners
We loved camping at Lisa's place! Lisa and her family were so wonderful and helpful during our stay. They regularly checked in on us, got us supplies that we had forgotten to bring. Lisa even brought out chocolate cake and coffee during the day! They proactively added motion sensor lights to the path heading to the toilet. They have a little playground on their property which is great for kids to get their energy out. They have one of the cleanest porta potties I have ever seen in my life! They also had a campfire going late into the night and early morning which was so helpful.

Solar eclipse. Tent camping.
Incredibly amazing would not accurately describe the outstanding experience my family and I had camping at Hemlock Hideaway. Lisa and her family were all incredibly welcoming and accommodating.
Our car top carrier would not open and they assisted my husband with the right tools and help to get it opened and functional again.
We camped for the once in a lifetime celestial event, but even if it has been raining for the complete solar eclipse, we would not have regretted spending the weekend camping here. The property was lovely, my kids lives hiking in the creek and looking at the chickens and just running around.
Highly recommend! We hope to plan another trip.

Awesome views!
I booked at last minute but the host was gracious to get me in! The cabin was so inviting and the wood stove was just awesome. It rained most of the time but the views to the grand River were great! Will be back hopefully dry weather to hike down to the bottom!
