In prior years, this park operated under far more competent and principled management. The current…read moreleadership demonstrates little integrity, selectively enforcing rules based on which guests are involved, rather than applying standards consistently. The only faintly positive aspect is the continual turnover in management and staff, which at least suggests this leadership group may not be long‑lasting. Operationally, the park has declined to an unacceptable level. Trailers are now positioned so closely together that a single fire could have catastrophic consequences--an obvious and serious safety hazard that responsible management would never allow. Basic maintenance is also being neglected: sites remain unmowed, trash is left scattered throughout the grounds, and during our most recent visit the bathrooms were not stocked with something as fundamental as toilet paper. The park's inclusivity and overall atmosphere fluctuate from season to season, and this year has been particularly poor. Even core amenities are unreliable; toward the end of last season, the tubing bus broke down on multiple occasions, disrupting one of the park's primary activities. Additionally, the decision to prohibit wood vendors from entering the park forces guests either to bring their own firewood from outside or pay an exorbitant price for sawmill scrap--an unnecessary inconvenience created entirely by management. After four years of visiting, this season has been, by a wide margin, the worst experience to date. I intend to update this review once the current leadership inevitably turns over, assuming the next team demonstrates higher standards and a basic commitment to safety, maintenance, and guest experience.

My restrictions say I am supposed to have a maintenance fee of $20. Somehow that is now a membership fee of $900. What is also strange is that people can transfer their membership to public outsiders for money. Seen them advertised for $400 or so. So, a person who lives here pays $900 but can sell to outsider for $400 so they can use the pool, lakes and other things. What kind of private community is that? Thinking of getting out if I can. If you're thinking of moving here, I'd recommend a lawyer and check into the properties documents. As I said, something appears to be 'off'.

I had no idea where we were going but was just instructed to pack a swimsuit, comfy clothes (aka no "going out clothes") and some bug spray. Now, people who know me (especially my hubbie), knows I am not a fan of the outdoors nor do I like camping. It was a non-negotiable for me that I will never go camping with him. So, when I heard "bug spray", I was on high alert. As we continue our drive away from Chicago, I'm trying to get my bearings on which direction we're headed...nope, not Wisconsin, nope, not Purdue (where we graduated), but north after the Indiana border...aha! Michigan! However, that still did not help me figure out what we were going to do for our anniversary. At first, I thought, oh by the lake...then we drove inland...ehhh...that's when he lost me. For the life of me, I could not Sherlock Holmes my way into solving the mystery. A few hours later, we arrive at a building and met Mark, the "concierge". With his Australian accent, I half expected to see a kangaroo on this trip. However, we follow him on a dirt road and get to a gate that opens from the side with a sign saying "Meemo's Farm Game Preserve & Retreat" and I literally thought "Jurassic Park"! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! I couldn't believe he was taking me camping. Then, as we continued through the road, passing trees, some creeks, more trees, we drive up to a log cabin and can see a lake in front of it. My first thought was "At least it wasn't a tent, but...we drove 5 hours to stay in a 1-room Lincoln Log House?" Mark opens the door...and I swear I am on "MTV Cribs"! We walk upon a threshold to the "Great Room" - complete with HUGE flat screen TV, leather sectional, dining room with an antler chandelier, and a state-of-the-art kitchen in a rustic log cabin house design. Then we go to the bottom floor that leads east and west - one towards the gym and the other to another kitchen, poker table, and....a 2-lane bowling alley!! It was indeed not a 1-room cabin, but a 3-bedroom, 4-bath luxury lodge complete with a hot tub on the top deck, comfy patio furniture, a fire pit, and a grill. Also, several great touches like towel warmers and heated floors in the bathrooms! We spent 3 days in this luxury retreat called "The Lanes" using the hot tub, bowling alley, gym, walking the woods, and basically resting and relaxing. This property sits on ~1,300 acres with several other cottages and has several activities including hunting, skeet shooting, ATV, horseback riding, etc. I now have fond memories of "glamping" in Michigan and look forward to our next visit! We'll bring more folks with us next time! Thank you, Meemo's Farm, and my hubbie for a wonderful anniversary weekend!
