You can bring everything you need to hermit at the camp, but if you’re up for a little civilization, it is nearby.

There’s Ann Arbor about 15 minutes away, with its world-class university, restaurants, bars, concerts and all kinds of artsy-fartsy stuff to do. And there’s quaint, satisfying Dexter or Chelsea only a few miles up the road. Plenty of cozy places to dine and cute places to shop, and that’s just within the immediate area.

Expand your world to the greater southeastern Michigan area, and you can spend an afternoon walking around an art institute or The Henry Ford (Museum and Greenfield Village), or even rent a horse in a state park and take a ride. No matter whether you stay close or branch out, you’ll always be entertained.
