Our Progress

When we purchased this property in 2004, it needed a lot of repairs! That's an understatement. The cabins hadn' been used for anything except storage for 30 years. We first set out to remodel the north bath house. We rented this huge digger and dug a trench for the water, gas, and power lines. It was cool, even our son was in the digger. We replaced everything and David built great cedar stalls.

Then we moved on to the electricity. BIG job....

We are now finishing up the two cabins that were previously called "The Green Cabins". We have now named them The Pine and The Oak. David built these great lofts in each one and some very cool railings (and the ladder is cool too).

Rose's Retreat

My husband and I have been remodeling a campground near South Haven, Michigan for the past 2 1/2 years. We have 28 wooded acres on Saddle Lake. The land was used as a girl's camp about 30 years ago. We would love to hear any stories about someone who may have attended that camp! It was also used as a restaurant called The Oak Springs Inn. Our website can be found at http://www.rosesretreat.com
