Welcome to the Hemlock Ridge Homestead! This custom log home built in the early 2000's was a dream of mine since I was 8 years old. Our family lives here year round and absolutely love it. These sites are on a seasonal road so travel in and out can be impeded at times due to weather or external forces, such as tree falls, wash outs, etc. This is a self sufficient homestead in the making. Our garden has progressed greatly, and our fruit tree orchards are starting to produce. The free range chickens are fun and quirky, offering farm fresh eggs. We just opened our second site, the Prairieview Chalet 2024 summer. Both sites offer great amenities. The Acorn Retreat cabin includes a hot tub, gas weber grill and other amenities. The bouchee outhouse is shared by both sites and is cleaned regularly. The new Prairieview Chalet is an exceptional adventurers haven! It has all the things you want after a day(s) out in the wilderness, with amenities like a hot shower, fully stocked kitchen, linens and more. Our property reflects our love of the land and space. We are always making improvements, such as the timber framed chicken coop. We now have a ping pong table for our guests, and still offer farm fresh eggs. Our motto is to make every place better than we found it and hope our guests will do the same. This is a zen, quiet place to heal, reflect and refill your cup of life:)

Prairieview Chalet

April’s prairie view tiny house is the perfect place for a Marquette getaway; it’s cozy, well appointed & remote yet near great hiking & MTB trails (NTN Forestville North trailhead is just down the road). This tiny house was designed for cooking with a spacious kitchen as well as reading/snuggling with a cozy nook with a small wall-hung fireplace & loft bed.

Best Getaway Ever 🫶🥰

April & Mike were such amazing hosts! The tiny house we stayed in was so cozy and made us feel right at home we didn’t want to leave. They thought of everything, from firewood for the mini fireplace to oats, flour, and sugar for baking oatmeal blueberry cookies. The cabin was super cute, and we loved the hot shower and the comfy loft. Plus, it felt like we had our own little private spot on their property. The outhouse was better than we expected, really clean and just fine. My boyfriend had a blast on the bike trails, while I enjoyed hiking and relaxing in the hammock swing with my book. We’re definitely planning to go back. We’re really thankful to Mike and April for being so welcoming! 💕🫶 Jon & Rachel, East Lansing Michigan

Prairieview Chalet

Beautiful tiny home with a great pollinator garden and gorgeous surrounding woods. Also a nice hot shower. Easy access to local trails. April was a very accommodating and friendly host. Thanks for introducing us to the chickens! I would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back

Acorn Retreat

Much needed and welcoming get away

We just loved staying at April and Mike’s property. It was just what we needed to relax. They set us up with a dozen eggs and a bundle of wood for our private fire pit. The cabin was so welcoming, clean and super comfy. We were so happy to meet other members of the family and their dog, Jasper. April was kind enough to show us the property and we even got to feed the chickens. It felt like a home away from home and we couldn’t have been happier. Thanks so much and we hope to see you again in the future! We 100% recommend this lovely retreat for a relaxing and special stay you won’t forget for years to come. :-) Lauren and Adam

Prairieview Chalet

perfect escape at Prarieview Chalet

The tiny home we stayed in was beautifully crafted, cozy, and quaint, offering a perfect blend of comfort and charm. Nestled in nature, the chalet provided exactly the tranquility we were seeking. The setting was serene and secluded, even with other guests nearby, and the views from the tiny home were stunning—wildflowers from one window and rugged rocks from the other. The location is ideal for exploring Harlow Lake and numerous hiking trails that showcase the remarkable beauty of the Yoop. The tiny home was wonderfully designed and very well-maintained. We especially appreciated the firepit in the back, which was perfectly secluded for a quiet night of roasting s'mores. April, our host, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, providing great insights about the area. Her lil dog, Jasper, was a friendly companion who added an extra touch of warmth to our stay. Most essentials were provided, including dish soap, pots, pans, silverware, plates, and cups. Just a heads up to future guests—bring your own shower supplies, although bath towels are provided. Forestville, the road leading to the chalet, is narrow, so be prepared to pull over and let other travelers pass. Also, bring a writing utensil to sign the guest book—unfortunately, we didn’t have one on hand! Check out Dead River Coffee downtown and visit the Top of the World outlook, which is not far from the homestead. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you April!
