About this property

Peaceful Yurt in Waterloo Rec Area. 1.5 miles from Portage Lake Park/Beach.

Welcome to Yurt at Waterloo! (formerly Yurt at Havenswood) Very peaceful and private Yurt in the heart of the Waterloo Recreation Area Grass Lake, Michigan. This 16' Yurt sits on a 12 acre wooded lot. Perfect way to get the camping experience without being on top of your neighbors. You will not find a quieter place with so many great things to do within 10 minutes.
We are surrounded by hundreds of miles of trails in the Waterloo Conservation area. Maps provided. There is a trail head on our street a few hundred feet from the yurt. You will have a private driveway and parking area. Plenty of privacy for campfire nights and deck lounging while enjoying the sounds of nature. You will not find more private camping and serenity!
The yurt sleeps a maximum of 4 adults, with twin size bunk beds and a full size futon. The 8 foot picnic table compliments the fire pit with grilling grate. Rustic outdoor living at its finest. Very clean outhouse near Yurt.
Private drive and parking
We completely respect the needs and desires of our guests. We are available if ever they need anything, but we have also done our best to create a totally private environment.
We are in the center of so many popular Michigan hot spots. We are 30 minutes west of Ann Arbor and 45 minutes south of Lansing. We are 15 minutes east of downtown Jackson, and just minutes from the quaint downtown of Grass Lake.
As far as our Neighborhood goes, we are in the Waterloo Preservation Area. Surrounded by hundreds of miles of hiking, running and biking trails. The Portage Lake Campground is only 5 minutes away with lots of options for swimming, boating, fishing, disc golf and other outdoor type festivities, along with a beach and private showers during season.
There is also the small Welch Lake less than .5 miles away that is fantastic for fishing, small boat, and kayaking. Kayaks and trailer provided for a fee.

As dog lovers, we welcome you to bring up to 2 furry friends! BUT... common courtesy is a must. This includes picking up waste (bags provided) and not leaving them unattended in Yurt. If you have dogs over 50 lbs, contact owner for possible exceptions. Both of our dogs are over 50 lbs, so we get it... :)

We are also less than 10 minutes away from the Sandhill Crane Winery which has beautiful views, live music, and great wine and food.

Minutes from Calderone Golf Club!

We DO NOT have electricity or running water. If running water is needed, please ask. We do have battery powered lighting and lanterns, but guests encouraged to bring their own. We provide clean sheets and bedding on the mattresses. Drinking water provided. Trash bags provided.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck Hoyt

My wife and I live in Ann Arbor but acquired this property because we love the solitude and serenity. Having camped at campgrounds in the past, we dislike being on top of your neighbor. Instead, we go for the peace and quiet. This is our first venture into hosting something so it will be a learning experience. All recommendations for improvement are welcome!!

Why they chose this property

While only being a few miles off the highway, it is complete solitude. You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but still close to all the necessities. And you are within a few miles of several lakes, and right next to Portage Lake beach and campground, and hundreds of miles of trails.

What makes this property unique

There is complete privacy at the Yurt of Waterloo! You have a large open area to entertain, cook out, etc. but still tucked in 12 wooded acres. The separate driveway adds to the privacy. We own a small cottage on the property that we are renovating and may/may not list for rental. If we do, you will see an added benefit for larger parties!
