A wonderful vacation

The cabins were wonderful, the location was beautiful, and our hosts could not have been nicer. Everything was clean, and the AC worked great! They also had a very nice deck with a gas grill, that overlooked the lake.The best vacation we have had in years. We are already looking forward to next year.

Wonderful experience

What a great place to stay if you are passing through. My family and I really enjoyed the quiet solitude of the cabin while while we were there. We were able to use it as a day tripping base while visiting the surrounding towns and apple orchards. Definitely worth the visit!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie

Host profile image
We're from beautiful SW Michigan, and enjoy the activities that is favorable to this area such as canoe and kayaking, swimming, ATV riding, skiing, tubing, hiking, and just things that involve the outdoors. Its so rewarding being a host, its really a ministry for us, knowing that we can be a blessing in providing a safe, clean and beautiful spot for others to come aside and rest and rejuvenate. We also love meeting our guests when possible, some from thousands of miles away and others just a few... but always interesting to know what brought them here. We love hospitality and look forward to making each guest feel extra special!

Why they chose this property

There are 36 lakes within 6 miles in the Marcellus area which provides for great activities year round... ie. skiing, snowboarding, fishing, hiking, ATV riding, biking, etc. What I love most about our location, is the peace and quiet. Our no-wake 80 acre lake is serene and quiet, a great place for fishing, boating, or swimming with sandy beach and rope swing that kids love. We're located on almost 200 acres of rolling hills, wooded trails, farmland ... a private estate/campground that includes cabins and several campsites, of which our guests have complete access to... and at times may be the only guest on site! Our neighborhood, with dirt road is very Norman Rockwell... very nostalgic & picturesque with small town values and traditions. Close by are vineyards and orchards, Swiss Valley ski resort, and about 45 minutes from Lake Michigan. Many guests that visit will look for homes in the area!

What makes this property unique

Our property is very unique and untraditional. We are a health retreat center and campground. We offer nutrition counseling by registered dietitian, plant based cooking classes and health education classes by medical doctor and other health professionals. Our campground is not packed in with seasonal guests, but instead we limit stays and are usually very quiet with a few guests at one time, with the exceptions of our groups (family reunions, church groups, youth groups). We are in a great location and many guests use us as either a destination, taking advantage of our unique features, and rent kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, etc and relax at our beach, hike in the woods and enjoy the beauty we have to offer; while others use us as a hotel and visit the major attractions we are so fortunate to have in this area... Lake Michigan in St Joseph Michigan (was listed as best place for lovers in the country), also South Haven, & Warren Dunes; Kalamazoo Valley Children's Museum (free); and Air Zoo Aerospace and Science Museum in Kalamazoo.... just to name a few! We are also in a great location to visit vineyards, orchards, and farmers markets; and we also have organic fruits and vegetables for sale here; along with wild berries and apples located on the trails as you walk... feel free to help. yourself!
