The Acorn Cabin | Firepit | Nature | Pet-Friendly

Escape to your spacious wooded Harbor Country retreat—just 7 minutes from Warren Dunes, 10 minutes to Lake Michigan beaches, and less than a mile from a local winery! Tucked among the trees, making it the perfect basecamp for couples, small families, or friends exploring Southwest Michigan.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting cabin filled with natural light, local antiques, and custom lighting that creates a true Up North feel. After a day climbing the dunes or touring wineries, gather around the crackling wood-burning stove and let the glow of the fire set the tone for a relaxing evening. Large windows invite in forest views and fresh breezes, bringing the outdoors in year-round.

The unique layout features two fully open loft sleeping areas at opposite ends of the cabin, connected by a charming center catwalk. (Please note: the loft spaces have no doors and are best suited for families or groups comfortable sharing space.) The cabin comfortably sleeps 4–5 guests with one king bed, one full bed, and one twin bed.

Step outside and enjoy your own private fire pit under the stars—perfect for s’mores, storytelling, and unwinding after a day at the beach. The covered porch offers a peaceful place to sip your morning coffee or relax with a glass of wine after visiting the nearby winery just down the road.

The Acorn Cabin is part of a small cabin resort in beautiful Harbor Country, offering a quiet wooded setting while still giving you privacy at your own cabin. You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful retreat with easy access to the area’s top attractions.
