Lovely quiet property!
Beautiful little area that is very isolated and has plenty of room to relax and unplug. Very friendly and professional hosts, tons of amenities (really don't need to bring anything but your clothes is you don't mind driving for food).

Chad & Aimee’s glamping site is one for the books. The bathhouse on site with a real shower is a godsend! They have everything you would need to glamp.

The most stress-free version of camping there is! Peaceful, whimsical, private stay. I'm a single mom and took my 6 and 9 year old to explore MI. This was the perfect base camp for us. The kids loved exploring and relaxing in the hammocks by the babbling water. Thank you!

Second time staying and still perfect
If you want to get away and enjoy lakes and rivers and just get away from people then come glamp here. The campsite is great and there is a river right there that we just sit in and enjoy the nature. Relax and drive for miles and miles with no stoplights and enjoy some local restaurants. You can't miss with this.

Friends getaway
We loved our stay at the property! The tent was spacious enough for all 4 of us. They have everything you need except clothes and food so it makes packing a lot easier. We loved sitting by the fire pit and hearing the river below. We also went kayaking which was a lot of fun! The outdoor shower was quite lovely. Communication was great, and the hosts were very welcoming.

Beautiful Bliss
This bit of bliss was wonderful! All the peace and quiet being in nature along with the thoughtful amenities was what my sister and I enjoyed on our annual sisters' getaway weekend. Cooking a meal outside to having coffee in the cabin in the morning to kayaking the Manistee river to sitting at the bonfire while catching up was tucked away in our memories. Glamping in the yurt tent was such fun. Aimee and Chad are wonderful hosts and they surely have thought of many things to make your stay a truly northern experience.

I had a fantastic stay at this glamping site! Chad and Aimee really know how to go above and beyond for their guests. While I was alone at the campsite, I felt very comfortable and safe. The walk to the river is very easy. Definitely enjoyed reading my book in the hammocks they provided. When I discovered the bathroom/kitchen off shoot area, I was even more impressed with it still feeling like I was camping, with modern facilities. I loved the crafts and coloring books— it made me feel like a kid again. Thank you thank you thank you! I had a blast and I will be back soon!

We are avid rustic campers and had to come to the TC area for our 14 y/o. We loved the idea of camping without the process of packing all of our gear, setting up and tearing down. This was perfect. Everything you would need for a rustic camping experience with the added benefit of actual beds, a real bathroom and shower ( the outdoor shower is amazing!) and very well thought out decor and creature comforts. The property is beautiful and Chad and Aimee were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. All and all our family ( 2 boys 11&14, and my wife and I ) had a great experience. We highly recommend and would return.

Great glamping!!
We had a super long weekend in the Rippling Bluff Stargazer! Chad and Aimee are wonderful, generous and knowledgeable hosts who’ve thought of every detail. Our campsite was just beautiful—we loved the chiminea fireplace, hammocks and close—but not too close—proximity to the kitchenette/bathhouse (which is great—outdoor shower is a must!). The tent itself is exactly as pictured, clean and very comfortable. Hope we stay again in the future!! Thanks Chad & Aimee—great to meet you!

Calm and beautiful Space
Chad and Aimee have created a beautiful getaway in the woods. Everything you have read in the reviews is spot on! Everything you could possibly need to enjoy the space is available, and all you need are clothes and food.
The peaceful sounds of the river as you relax in the hammock is so soothing. The bathhouse is immaculate and the yurt is gorgeous. I’m glad to have booked with you.

Just what we needed
This was everything we hoped and more. The hosts are available but we still felt we were there by ourselves. Great way to get away and you can legit say you are off the grid. (One bar occasionally on AT&T but service is a quick drive away.).

Peaceful Escape!
As first time “glampers” we were blown away by Aimee and Chad’s hospitality and attention to detail. Our extremely scenic and comfortable site was just what we needed to spend a few days unplugged from the daily grind of life. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. We will definitely be back soon!

Beautiful property,, Fun, relaxing stay
This was such a great place! We loved the yurt. It was beautiful and very comfortable where we could see the stars through the skylight! Every detail was thought out by the owners. From the big items to the most minute derails, everything was just right. The community bathroom was super clean along with the yurt, and the river was flowing with a gentle bubbling soothing sound. We loved it and eagerly look forward to another great stay. We highly recommend for anyone that is looking at glamping!

So awesome! Didn’t want to leave!
This was so perfect! It looked EXACTLY like the pics! My husband and I decided to try this out for our anniversary this year and we are so happy we did! We had total privacy in the woods and we still got all the same perks of camping without having to do any work before or after our stay! It was the best feeling to show up and have everything already set up for us! The bed in the tent is so comfortable, we didn’t want to get out of it! The area is so peaceful and quiet. I LOVED laying in the hammock under the peaceful trees and sky. We could still see the beautiful stars from our tent while laying in a comfortable bed, and the fan kept the tent so nice and cool. The river is beautiful. The bathroom and shower are so clean. There are complimentary snacks, coffee, cream, sugar, plastic ware, paper towels, pop tarts, pop corn, wine, a microwave, plenty of bath and beach towels, cups, plates, everything in the kitchenette. There are books and rock painting in the tent. The hosts are wonderful, Godly, and hospitable people! This is perfect to reset from every day life stressors and distractions. We did not want to leave and are definitely excited to come back!

Glamping in paradise
This property is everything it claims to be and more! It was like a little slice of Heaven and we will definitely be returning. We wish we could've spent more time on the property because there is so much to enjoy and explore. Chad and Amiee were the best host and they have provided everything you need to experience camping with some modern conveniences. Chad recommended Sand Lakes Quiet Area for hiking and swimming and it was one of our favorite places we visited, well worth the 20 minute drive. We loved everything about this trip and you will too.
