Bunkhouse in the Pines sits under a pine tree canopy surrounded by a beautiful 11 acre forest, creek, and wetland.  It is centrally located to many attractions just minutes away: The Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Beaches, Fishing, Wineries, Cool Shops, Farms Stands, Kayaking, Biking/Hiking Trails, and Traverse City. Come commune with nature and enjoy the awesome and uplifting vibe of the Leelanau Peninsula for the ultimate Eco experience! The small quaint town of Cedar, located just 3 miles away, has Buntings Market, The Cedar Tavern, an ice cream shop, new coffee house, and other eclectic shops.  The bunkhouse is cozy and small (125 SQFT) and a perfect base camp for a good night sleep. It has a king size bed (twin beds set up available in extras), small refrigerator, two fans (no air conditioning), microwave, toaster, and electric tea kettle. The outdoor private space next to the cabin includes a table and chairs, propane grill,  and a spacious campfire area. The rustic out-building has hot and cold water for the shower, double stainless sink and a counter to prepare meals on. The kitchen is appointed with two stainless steel pots, large cast iron frying pan, colander,  cooking utensils, plates, bowls, cups, silverware, can opener, and metal hot dog/marshmallow skewers for campfire. Please bring your own bath and beach towels, bug spray, and bug free firewood. Kids? Dogs? Additional Guests? You can set up your tent or pop-up camper. Smoking of tobacco products on property is generally discouraged. Thanks!Bunkhouse in the Pines sits under a pine tree canopy surrounded by a beautiful 11 acre forest, creek, and wetland.

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.
