We have a wooded 3 acre lot nestled between the popular vacation destinations of South Haven and Saugatuck. Public beach access in Glenn is a 10 minute walk from our property or a 1 minute drive (limited parallel parking on 114th street) Nearby attractions include numerous wineries, breweries, restaurants and more. Within walking distance is a lovely breakfast joint and a full service convenience store that serves some of the best pizza around. The towns of Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville and South Haven are all approximately a ten minute drive.A short walk from parking near the main house you will find the “comfort station” among the stand of quaking aspens. It houses a composting toilet, a sink with running water, an electric kettle with tea, coffee and mugs provided. There is also an outdoor shower with an on demand propane water heater. A short distance from the comfort station is a clearing with a fire pit and just beyond that is the bell tent. Inside the tent you will find a very comfortable queen size bed with clean bedding provided, chairs and a small table.

I literally can’t say enough positive things about fernside camp the Blue Cottage. Daniel and Mackenzie have an awesome set up! Just absolutely beautiful💕 My son hates camping and I wanted to have a more outdoorsy experience with him before we met some friends at our cabin for our annual MI trip and Fernside was the perfect mix to meet both standards. The yurt was so comfy— there was a HUGE storm the 2nd night of our stay the yurt stayed dry, warm secure💕 it was actually kind of cool hearing the raindrops and seeing the lightening. The comfort station is a great touch — well thought out and only a short walk from the yurt. We loved hearing the frogs, seeing the deer and slugs — and It was so secluded! I felt like I was at camp in the middle of a rainforest even tho town is only 10minute walk away! Glenn is a super cute town btw everyone we met was so sweet :) the locals loved petting our hound dog, George and most of them had treats handy lol - which George really liked! the beach is so close and very dog friendly — it is a bit of a rocky beach so it was super nice to swim and search for cool rocks - there are many! All in all this is a great place— close to the beach, town, Bathroom, coffee and yet still feels like you’re in the middle of the mountains — highly recommend and I can’t wait to stay here again!

Sweet escape in the woods
We loved EVERYTHING about this stay! (Not gonna lie, we were a little worried driving up the road that it wouldn’t be very private…) From the ease of their adorable and effective signs, to the simple romance of the tent in the woods, this stay is totally on our return list. We would absolutely stay here again… plus our dog looooved it. Okay so good and bad stuff… Parking-awesome Host’s communication-awesome Quaint path through the woods to your comfort station, fire area and tent… priceless… We stayed there early June and the weather was perfect. Not only was it cold enough for cuddles and campfires, we were also gifted with the delicate sounds of rain on our tent each morning. Otherwise take in all the glorious sounds of the wind through the trees, the birds chirping, and yeah, the occasional dog barking or chain saw. The comfort station was simple yet efficient. And oh so clean! Coffee and filters were provided along with pour over and mugs. The shower had instant hot water and was a perfectly rustic addition to the stay. Nothing bad to say about this place! That being said, a couple of things could be suggested: Two pour overs, instead of one ☕️ Broom inside the tent so we could keep it cleaner (mud was a small thing) 🧹

Very homey and wonderfully priced for all you get out of it. I had a blast and I recommend to anyone trying to get out in nature without the hassle of setting up a tent!!
