Minnow Camp Resort
Welcome to Minnow Camp Resort
Tucked in the hush between pine and sky, Minnow Camp is less a destination and more a revelation—five cabins gathered like old friends around a curve of sandy earth, each one painted bright against the woods like an idea you nearly forgot to dream.
Here, the cabins have names: Moose, Sunfish, Lake, Whitetail, and Aurora—named not for extravagance, but for belonging. They stand steady and simple, but not plain. They’re shelters with soul, small chapters in a larger story that unfolds in the rustling trees, in the firepit talk after dark, in the crunch of gravel beneath bare feet.
And yes, there are peacocks.
Mr. Pea struts like royalty in exile—an emerald train dragging through sawdust and feathers. His daughter, Little Pea, watches everything with the bright, suspicious eyes of youth. And now, quietly in the corner, Mrs. Pea sits on her nest of warm possibility, unmoved by spectacle. These birds are not decorations. They are witnesses.
Minnow Camp is not a resort that performs. It doesn’t stage sunsets. It doesn’t apologize for sand in your shoes or the way the night wraps tight around you like flannel. It is for the curious. The tired. The hopeful. The ones who still believe in mornings that arrive with birdsong and coffee steam.
Each cabin has its own fire ring, its own rhythm, its own little plot of wilderness just barely tamed. And soon, each will have its own story—linked here on this page—should you wish to read further and choose your corner of the woods.
This is Minnow Camp.
Come stay where the peacocks keep watch, and the quiet speaks first.
BOOK YOUR MINNOW CAMP TODAY
Welcome to Minnow Camp Resort
Five cabins. One forest. Three peacocks. Zero regrets.
Tucked along the wooded edge of Houghton Lake, Minnow Camp offers a slow kind of stay. You come here to hear gravel underfoot. To smell smoke from a neighbor’s firepit. To read a book you didn’t know you missed. To remember the exact sound a loon makes at dusk.
Each of our five cabins—Moose, Sunfish, Lake, Whitetail, and Aurora—is a simple box of color and calm. Step inside and you’ll find a king bed, private bath, and kitchen nook wrapped in pine. Step outside and there’s a gravel path, a picnic table, and woods thick with small wonders: mushrooms, deer prints, squirrel chatter. And sometimes, the sound of peacocks.
About the Peacocks
They are loud, proud, and entirely unbothered by your schedule. Mr. Pea, Little Pea, and Mrs. Pea live here year-round, strutting and clucking behind their enclosure like feathery aristocrats of the pines. You’ll hear them before you see them—and once you do, you may not look away.
This is Minnow Camp. You can book a weekend, but what you’re really getting is a reason to slow down.
