About this property
The Mill Creek Hideout
Have you been looking for a place where you can camp and ride at the same time?
We are a small family that has a 13-acre wooded lot with various trails, perfect for young kids and families to ride on. We can accommodate dirtbikes, ATVs, side-by-sides, golf carts, and electric bikes. We also allow BB guns, airsoft, and pellet guns, but you must have proper safety equipment.
We have recently built this cabin that can sleep two adults and three children comfortably. The triple bunk has three twin-size beds and the single bed is a full-size bed. A queen-size and twin-size air mattress can be provided if needed. We have set this up so that all you have to bring is your personal belongings, your machines, and your food/drinks.
This is a primitive-style cabin as of now, there is no electricity or running water. We have battery/solar-powered lighting and lanterns for the inside as well as a water dispenser for drinking and cooking. Any food/drinks you bring, or choose to purchase, will need to be in coolers you bring or ones we can provide.
A Wal-Mart is within 8 miles and a corner store is within 2 miles of the cabin. We can provide coolers for you to use if you choose to purchase food/drinks once you get here. Pots, pans, cooking utensils, cups, dishes, and eating utensils will be provided. A charcoal and propane grille is provided.
For the restroom facility, we have a freshly serviced outhouse/porta-potty with a sink and freshwater. We plan to add an indoor bathroom and a small kitchenette soon.
Again, there is no electricity. We plan to install a solar power generator soon, as well.
We are trying to provide a very relaxing and easy-to-use camping set-up. We want you to spend all your time making memories riding and enjoying the property. We have a lot of wildlife throughout the woods. You may see deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, and a large variety of birds. There are a few farm animals at the edge of the property and surrounding area that children can visit. We have yard games, board games, and some children's toys in the cabin. We will also be providing: outdoor chairs, the fire pit ring with some firewood (if more is needed, you can purchase it from the neighbor),
An added benefit is: - We are within 30 miles of Lower Southwest Michigan towns and cities. For example: New Buffalo, Niles, Three Oaks, Cassopolis, and many others. - We are within 25 miles of Potawatomi Zoo and Washington Park Zoo, - We are within 20 miles of the South Bend Cubs Stadium, South Bend Chocolate Factory, and Dinosaur Museum. - We are within 20 miles of Michigan City/Indiana Dunes Beaches. - We are within 15 miles of the Potato Creek State Park. - For fishing: Fish Lake has public fishing and is within 3 miles. (We are providing this information, just in case you want to do more than just ride).
We would like to apologize that we are NOT able to accept pets at this time.
For the riding side of things, you must provide proof of liability insurance on your machines and sign a waiver to be able to ride. We have been advised by our insurance that you must have this coverage and it can be cancelled at any time. Please reach out to your insurance agent before booking.
THIS IS RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Please feel free to message/call us with any questions.
