This glamping property boasts a spring-fed swimming pond situated on forty acres of rolling prairie, forest and wetland, surrounded by one hundred acres of Washtenaw County Nature Preserve. A total of six off-grid sleeping cabins dot the landscape, all within a short walk to our Common House, that includes a large gathering space, community kitchen/dining and bathrooms/shower. We also offer Yoga and Meditation classes and weekend retreats year-round.
The FIRE eco-cabin (1-room insulated cabin) is one of our three "Elemental" Cabins up on the hill and includes: • Two TWIN beds with two TWIN mattresses under the bed. (needs to be pulled out for sleeping) • Linens and pillows (no towels) • Battery-operated fans • Overlooks spring-fed pond • Heated with vented propane heater with clear and simple posted instructions • NOTE! 5 minute walk to shared solar-composting toilets • NOTE! 5-10 minute walk to common house with shared kitchen, dining area, shower, bathrooms, WIFI and meeting room/yoga space.

OFF-GRID/NO ELECTRICITY: all cabins are off-grid and do not have electrical outlets, kitchen, toilet or running water in them, but Elemental Cabins do have solar lighting, heat and are fully furnished for a luxury "glamping" experience". The Common house has a modern kitchen, bathroom, shower, heat, AC, Wifi and electricity.
FIREWOOD: Cabins do not have their own campfire rings. A community campfire is located down by the pond. If you'd like to have a fire, check with us to see if we have wood for campfires before arriving. If we do, we'd be happy to share.

Additional info
All cabins have composting toilet outhouses located within a 1-2 MINUTE walk from cabins/campsites.
Please note that there are two households (the families of Ari Wakeman and Emily Adama) that live permanently on the property. (one in the lower level of the common house, and one in a cabin 200 yards from the common house.) During your rental they will maintain quiet and privacy for your group, but will remain on the property for the duration of your stay and will be available should any issues arise.
Cabins and Campsites do not currently have private campfire rings. We have a shared firepit with three picnic tables and logs for sitting on down by the northside of the pond (opposite the eloos). We may be able to provide a private fire ring under special circumstances on a first-come first-serve basis.
Please note the common house is unavailable AFTER 9:30am on the following Sundays due to retreats:
