Campfire Guidelines

Campfire guidelines keep everyone & everything safe & avoids forest fires.  Please read the following to ensure everyone has a safe & fun experience.

PLEASE, NEVER LEAVE THE FIRE UNATTENDED!

Campfires are enjoyable & relaxing especially when your island glamping, however, fires increase risk to other guests & the surrounding forest.

We love what we offer our guests & the land we share is so important that we ask:

  • Please use the firewood supplied  
  • Please do NOT use broken tree limbs or debris in fire pits.
  • Please, please, please, NEVER break or cut any tree branches, saplings, or any tree growth from the land.  Firewood is available to all guests.
  • Please do NOT burn trash, cans, doggie bags filled with waste, or plastic in fire pits.  We have recycle bins for all that is recyclable & trash cans for all that is trash.

CHILDREN:

  • Parents are responsible for ensuring their children remain a safe distance from the fire bowl/campfire to avoid injury.

EXTINGUISHING A CAMPFIRE:

  • Please don't got to bed or leave the property without putting out your fire.
  • Campfires can be extinguished by burning down, or using water from the lake.
  • The fire extinguisher provided at each site is in case of an emergency & not to be used to extinguish the camp fire.

Pets Guidelines

Glamping in Michigan with dogs is a popular request & we get it because we love our pups!  But, in order for the glamping experience to be positive for all guests on property, please note the following:

  • Please make sure your pet stays in your area.
  • We happily provide water/food bowls, doggie beds, & doggie baggies for their business, all of which are replenished as needed.
  • Your tent is your pups home for your stay, but please try to keep them from jumping on the furniture.  We prefer them to sit or sleep on the doggie bed provided.  Thank you for understanding that they are probably going to be dirty. 🙂
  • Please take your pets with you when you venture out & about on the Island.  Pets left alone may cause a ruckus or destroy things inside & this will result in owners being responsible for the full replacement of any items that are ruined.
  • Please know where your pet is at all times.

Please note: We suggest that your pet be leashed during the night if they leave the tent for business. This is to protect your pet from running off to that interesting sound in the woods or sustaining potential injury by other animals on the island.
