Bunkhouse in the Pines

Bunkhouse in the Pines was a wonderful spot to camp! We got the camping experience without having to pack nearly as much. We loved the outdoor shower, having running water, and the cabin with electricity. The location is great for visiting nearby Glen Arbor, Glen Haven, or Traverse city.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Christine’s bunkhouse is. It’s rustic and quaint, yet has electricity so you don’t lose sight of all of your comforts. The outdoor shower is addictive! I don’t want to shower indoors anymore! The firepit are is lather and inviting, and there is even a little trail for walks. At night, the silence and view is stunning. I forget how many stars there are, living in the city. I highly recommend the bunkhouse. It’s close to everything cool in Leelanau, and you can’t go wrong with it!!

The site had beautiful shade and rain cover. We had a beautiful view of the night sky from the campfire, which felt cozy and secluded. The cabin is small but cozy and fit 2 adults pretty easily. We were about 30 minutes from the dunes, 15 minutes from Traverse City, and 15 minutes from a beautiful beach. It was a perfect location for exploring what northern Michigan has to offer

Perfect, convenient outdoor escape

Bunkhouse in the Pines is 10/10. I was so impressed by the space when I got there. Like someone else has already mentioned -- the photos don't quite do it justice! The cabin is cozy and clean. The property has all the amenities you could need. Truly, we did not need to bring anything other than ourselves, towels, and some food. Thanks for thinking of all these details on what would make folks comfortable, Christine. The space feels private and I love how the kitchen/shower/fire area is beautifully nestled in a tree clearing. My boyfriend and I would absolutely love to come back. Not only was the space itself just so cool, but it's also conveniently located! It didn't take long to get to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City from here. I definitely recommend giving this spot a try! Thanks, Christine.
