10x12 Cabin M

our first night we had to sleep in our truck due to the cabin being locked and no answer from the host on the code, then we were in bed and noticed he was peeking in our windows, then he came by and accused us of stealing his dogs food and water dish, and after we left he accused us of not only trashing his place but also stealing from him again, after we went out of our way to nor only clean the cabin but take care of some dead trees and weeds.

Great stay!

Really enjoyed our time on Stephen’s land. Sites were spacious and we loved all the walking paths and so did our dogs. Dogs off leash was a real bonus as well. Owners dogs Kiwi and Luke hung with us most of the time and got along great with our three Cattle dogs. But we felt guilty when feeding our dogs so they got fed as well, kiwi is very food motivated. We had rented Cabin M but didn’t use it except for electrical and covered picnic table outside. Would definitely recommend this place. Far enough off the beaten path but close enough to drive and get a pizza!!

Pet Friendly Camp Getaway

Stephen’s property is a little hidden gem. Campsites are spacious and nicely spread apart. The cabins are pretty basic with only a fridge, microwave and bed but having electricity and a roof is very nice. There are showers and bathrooms and water taps for washing up and firewood is available with lots of branches around the property in a pinch. Fresh egg delivery is an added bonus! There is a large open space behind the camp area that is perfect for dog runs or stargazing and a few mowed walking trails around the property. There are 2 very chill camp dogs Luke & Kiwi who like to hang around the campfire and will happily accompany you on a walk. Having them around does make it feel extra secure- even tho the area around camp is very quiet The camp is located about 15 mins from Ionia with all the groceries and amenities you could need an a nice little downtown with a few antique shops and restaurants. There are lots of nature trails nearby and easy access to the Grand River.
