The Acorn Cabin | Firepit | Nature | Warren Dunes

Tucked beneath the trees in the heart of Harbor Country, The Acorn Cabin is a quiet Southwest Michigan retreat made for slow mornings, beach days, and evenings around the fire.

Inside, soaring ceilings, warm wood tones, local antiques, custom lighting, and large windows give the cabin a character all its own. After climbing the dunes, visiting Solasta Winery, or spending the afternoon along Lake Michigan, return to the cabin, light the wood burning stove, and settle into the peaceful wooded setting.
You will feel removed from the noise while staying close to the best of the area. Warren Dunes State Park and its Lake Michigan beaches are just 5 minutes away, Weko Beach is 9 minutes away, Solasta Winery is about 1 mile from the cabin, and Michigan Local Harvest Fruit Stand is only half a mile away.

The Acorn Cabin is an inviting escape for couples, small families, and friends looking to experience Harbor Country at a slower pace.

A Cabin Filled With Character
Custom lighting, warm wood tones, and thoughtful design details create an inviting space that feels relaxed and full of character. Large windows bring in natural light and peaceful views of the surrounding trees, making it easy to unwind after a day exploring Southwest Michigan.

Unique Open Loft Layout
The cabin features two fully open loft sleeping areas at opposite ends of the cabin, connected by a charming center catwalk.
Because the lofts do not have doors, this layout is best for families and groups who are comfortable sharing an open space.

The cabin sleeps up to 5 guests with:
• One king bed
• One full bed
• One twin bed

Shared Sauna and Hot Tub
Guests have access to a shared sauna and hot tub located on the property.
These amenities are shared among the five cabins, giving guests a relaxing place to warm up, soak, and unwind after a day at the beach or exploring Harbor Country.

Your Outdoor Space
Start the morning with coffee on the covered porch while the property comes to life around you.
In the evening, gather around your personal fire pit for s’mores, conversation, and time beneath the stars. A charcoal grill is also available for casual outdoor meals.

The Acorn Cabin is one of five cabins on the property. You will have your own private cabin, porch, and fire pit, while the sauna and hot tub are shared with guests staying in the other cabins.
