Blueberry Hill | Un Encanto A-Frame Reimaginado en The Ranch

Blueberry Hill is a thoughtfully reimagined A-frame home designed for guests who value simplicity, nature, and intentional living. Set high among red pines in the Huron-Manistee National Forest, this off-grid retreat blends contemporary comfort with the quiet beauty of the outdoors. It is not a hotel experience. It is something better: personal, grounded, and restorative.

A Setting That Invites You to Slow Down

Blueberry Hill is surrounded by protected forest and trail systems that encourage exploration without crowds. From this peaceful perch, guests are just minutes from some of Northern Michigan’s most celebrated natural and recreational destinations, yet far removed from the noise and pace of everyday life.

Approximately one mile from Forest Dunes Golf Club, one of the nation’s most acclaimed courses

Five minutes to the Au Sable River, renowned for fly fishing, kayaking, and canoeing

Short walk to protected Kirtland’s Warbler nesting grounds

Direct access to hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and off-road exploration

Twenty minutes to Higgins Lake and a scenic drive to Hartwick Pines State Park

Much of the surrounding land is state and federally protected, allowing guests to explore for miles without crossing private property.
