Hidden Hemlock Retreat Sauna, Spa Tub, Fireplace, Trails, 500M Wi-fi

Step away from the hustle and bustle of life and enter Hidden Hemlock Retreat. Newly remodeled home nestled in 25 acres of mature forest with walking trails, outdoor firepit, and a creek that runs through the property. Many indoor luxury amenities including a large two person jetted tub, fireplace, private far infrared sauna, stunning quartz countertop Chef's Kitchen, business class internet, Sonos SL1 sound system, Samsung 65" Smart TV, and more. You won't want to leave.

The space
There’s an up north feel when you arrive to Hidden Hemlock Retreat. Friends say Hidden Hemlock Retreat has the most scenic driveway in Sanilac county, with its gently meandering, long, wooded views as you approach. Impeccably remodeled two bedroom home perfect for solo adventurers or a couples getaway. Hidden Hemlock Retreat is an ideal space for communing with nature, reflection, self-care and for making memories with loved ones. Artfully decorated and comfortable, our amenities include a large two person jetted tub, fireplace (kindling and wood provided), private far infrared sauna, beautiful quartz countertop Chef's Kitchen, outdoor deck with patio seating, business class internet, Sonos SL1 (no microphone) sound system, Samsung 65" Smart TV, and more. The views from the house overlook the mature birch, pine, maple, and hemlock forest; home to many woodland animals and birds. It's not unusual to see deer, turkey, and other friends of the forest- fox, racoon, woodpeckers, humming birds, and many other fowl. Pileated woodpecker have been spotted. Backyard includes outdoor fire pit, patio dining seating and BBQ grill. Hammock is available in warmer months.
Just a few miles from Port Sanilac and 9 miles from Lexington; for those on the go, there are beaches, parks, restaurants, and shops to explore.
Otherwise, there's no reason to go out! haha - One could be perfectly content to stay in and enjoy the peace of this tranquil setting.

Comfortable camp fire chairs are provided for the backyard fire pit, hot dog and marshmallow roasting campfire sticks available. Experience the peace of Hidden Hemlock Retreat.

Guest access
Parking is easy with plenty of room in front of the garage of Hidden Hemlock Retreat.
Other things to note
We provide a map of the trails, and are available if you would prefer a guided walk through the woods. Forest bathing is a Mindfulness practice beneficial to the mind in our busy world. Explore this concept online.

Bring sturdy, closed toe shoes if you would like to walk in the woods. Pants are recommended. You may want to bring slippers for inside the house during the colder months.

Our property is a safe, secluded, wooded property of 25 acres in a country setting. Some of the windows of Hidden Hemlock Retreat which face the woods do not have window coverings. Please see pictures in listing. Feel free to message with any questions.

I am happy to recommend local massage therapists that are able to make house calls or have local studios. I highly recommend Heather Ferranti, NCTMB (solo practitioner), and Sue Daves (The Health Store, Sandusky). Please contact me via the VRBO messaging service for their contact information. These therapists have reasonable rates and excellent massage skills to enhance your rest and relaxation while at Hidden Hemlock Retreat.

Public, lakeshore access is less than 1 mile away on Walker Road. Go to Walker Road and park closer to M-25. Walk east. There is a short walk down a trail that leads to a sandy and river stone beach area that is for public access to the lake. This is also a Tip of the Thumb Water Trail marked site. Great place for more private beach use.

Another public, quiet beach access area is at Frenchline Road, again less than 1 mile away from Hidden Hemlock Retreat. Again, a short walk down a trail to the east that leads to a beautiful sandy public beach area. Please observe the no parking sign on the north side of the access area, and park on the south side of the access area. Enjoy the natural wonder that is Lake Huron!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.
