Red Cabin at Winding Creek Cabins is your cozy home-away-from-home tucked into the peaceful landscape of southwestern Michigan. Our resort is just minutes from Swiss Valley Ski Area and the Gable Hill event venue yet feels worlds away, surrounded by whispering pines and the babbling spring-fed creek that gives the property its name. Whether you're planning a weekend on the slopes, attending a wedding or simply looking for a quiet escape, this modern cabin offers a comfortable retreat for up to four guests.

Inside, you'll find a bright open-concept living space outfitted with a queen bed and a full-size sleeper sofa. There's a kitchenette equipped with an electric cooktop, refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave and dishware so you can prepare simple meals. A full bathroom features a walk‑in shower, fresh towels and bed linens are provided, and the cabin is climate‑controlled with both heat and air conditioning. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and a small dining area make it easy to unwind after a day of adventures.

Step outside onto your private patio and listen to the sounds of the winding creek. The Red Cabin includes a picnic table, outdoor seating and a fire pit for evening s’mores under the stars. Two reserved parking spaces are included with your stay, and our five cabins are thoughtfully arranged to provide both privacy and a sense of community among guests. Book direct with us to enjoy personal service and no hidden fees.

Unique Features

The Red Cabin stands out with its cheerful exterior and light‑filled interior. Windows frame views of our spring‑fed creek and the surrounding woodland, and year‑round climate control ensures you stay cozy in winter and cool during the summer. Furnishings are thoughtfully selected for comfort and functionality, from the plush queen bed to the convenient sleeper sofa that turns the living area into additional sleeping space.

As part of Winding Creek Cabins, this red‑trimmed retreat offers the perfect combination of resort seclusion and convenience. You’re just a short drive from skiing at Swiss Valley and less than a mile from celebrations at Gable Hill, yet your deck, fire pit and picnic table provide a private place to relax. Our cabins share walking paths to the creek and wooded common areas, making it easy to explore the property’s natural beauty without leaving your doorstep.

Things To Do

Winter brings skiers and snowboarders to Swiss Valley, only a five‑minute drive from the cabin. When fresh snow falls, you can also explore hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails or strap on cross‑country skis and glide through the local state forest.

In warmer months, southwestern Michigan becomes an outdoor playground. Guests enjoy hiking and horseback riding on nearby trails, kayaking and paddle boarding on Corey Lake, Pleasant Lake and dozens of other pristine bodies of water, and fishing or swimming at public beaches. Our cabins sit near over 1,600 acres of state game area that’s open for hiking and seasonal hunting.

Autumn offers spectacular foliage and farm‑fresh fun. Take a scenic drive to visit cider mills, orchards and wineries, or simply wander our wooded property and soak in the vibrant colors. The charming town of Marcellus is minutes away for groceries and dining, while larger towns like Three Rivers and Kalamazoo provide shopping, museums and more. Couples love how close we are to the Gable Hill event venue for weddings and gatherings.
