The family

Meet the Hamptons.

The Hampton's made their move in 2019 from Metro Detroit to Mecosta, ready to embrace rural living and build their homestead — hoping for more quality time as a family and a deeper connection to nature.

Jaybird

Revered by many, Jaybird has been called our fearless leader. His experience working as a skilled carpenter, partnered with his workhorse energy, is a vital part of making our dreams our reality. His fun and free-spirited nature is sure to leave you smiling.

Littlefoot

Compassionate and kind, Sara has been described as having a grounding energy — dedicated to making those around her feel safe and at home. Using her career experience in office management, she is committed to the growth and success of their home and business.

Sleepy Bird Lilly

Lilly is a self-proclaimed artist with an entrepreneur spirit. She enjoys reading, writing, and all kinds of arts and crafts. She aspires to be a successful artist, super hero, and photographer. She has a kind and compassionate energy with a heart as big as her dreams.

Baby Bird Lucia

Baby Bird Lucia

Lucy is the youngest of our pack, but don't let that fool you! She is a natural-born leader and isn't afraid to shine with her sweet and sassy self. She may be our baby bird, but she is the mother of all things small — you're likely to find her with a toad in tow.

Four-legged friends

The rest of the pack.

Buddy

Buddy

Lover, leaner, and thinks he's a lap dog. He's an adventurer and sometimes gets carried away with a scent. If not for the matching scars on each side, you'd never know he was once expected to never walk.

Kitty

Kitty

As snuggly as she was ruthless to our pesky rodent community — the perfect balance of house cat and working mouser. Regrettably, she left us as quickly as she came.

Romeo

Romeo

Once skittish in a larger herd, Romeo grew bold and became leader of his small family tribe after moving here. He has settled in nicely and done an amazing job helping us clear an invasive species from the property.

In their words

What guests say.

Spending time on the Hampton property has been nothing but an incredible experience. The sense of calm that comes with the forest makes for great camping and amazing hikes. The owners maintain very clean land with no trash in sight. You will find yourself in a western Michigan oasis full of tranquility.

Surrounded by woods and immersed in nature, I've had remarkable experiences at Moss 'n Mushrooms. Family, friendship, nature, woods, and community come to mind. Each time I leave, I take with me a fullness and strong sense of home that keeps me coming back for more deep-rooted connections.

I have enjoyed many trips to Moss & Mushrooms. The property is breathtaking, quiet, secluded, and rustic — the perfect escape. Each group area has a community fire pit, and the warm atmosphere creates a home-away-from-home feeling where everyone quickly becomes friends.
