The Clubhouse · Horse Farm with a lake view : The Clubhouse | House in Groveland Township
2 Bedroom House in Ortonville, Groveland Township
Completely renovated in 2019 (with updated AC unit in 2020!), this converted barn might be our most impressive dwelling. The "Clubhouse" name comes from its history as the place where young riders would gather on breaks from riding horses when the property operated solely at a horse farm. The Clubhouse is located on a hill with panoramic views of the water and pastures. Enjoy our many amenities, including a king bed, fire pit, deck with a grill, trails, and animals who call this place home.
The Clubhouse Cabin has been recently refinished and is our only cabin with a king size bed! The appliances, linens, and most of the furniture are new. This is a wonderful space for gathering with family and friends - the large deck, living room, dining room, and kitchen share a common area. In the basement, the foosball table and comfy couch with own bathroom to boot provide hours of entertainment while others comfortably sleep upstairs.
This house feels quiet and private and is surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature. Hands down, this cabin has the best views on our property of our horses grazing in the pastures.
There are three other cabins nearby on the property so you will see other guests on the property. The cabins are far enough apart where you will not be disturbed by the other cabins and will still feel secluded while getting to enjoy the peaceful scenery away from the hustle and bustle of home.
There are miles of forested hiking paths throughout the farm and access to Narrin Lake from these trails as well. Narrin Lake is a private-access, spring-fed lake with no motorsports. There are parts that can be quite clear and deep (85') and other sections are marshland. All of the shoreline is natural. If you plan to play in or near the water, we recommend water shoes or other foot protection.
We are working on building out a range of experiences for our guests to interact and learn more about the horses that live at Narrin Farms. We are not offering riding lessons or trail rides (yet!), but hope to do so soon. ****Please do NOT feed the horses. The fences around the pastures are electrified and are on at all times for the safety of the horses and donkeys; please do not touch the fence.****
You’re welcome to visit with the donkeys, Jackson and Samson, or the cow, Maxim any time! Please do not feed the donkeys (no matter how much they beg, or how cute they look).
***Please note, horses and donkeys on the property may not always be outside in the pastures or accessible as it is up to the owner’s discretion. FOR YOUR SAFETY, do NOT enter the barns or pastures without prior approval.***
The farm is located in a rural area. Expect a country atmosphere and small-town presence. You'll need to drive on a dirt road for about a mile to access the property.
Our little town offers a 24-hour grocery store, bars, restaurants, and drug stores within just a few miles. Nine miles further down the road is the village of Clarkston, where you'll find unique and upscale shopping and dining. Major shopping malls, movie theaters, and big-box retailers are 25 minutes away. Please see my House Manual and Guidebook for details.
There's not much for Uber or Taxi services around the farm. You will want to have your own car.
For an accurate rate, make sure you enter the correct number of people in your party. The rate that defaults in the system is based on 4-person occupancy. Each additional guest over the age of two is $50/night.
If you are planning to have additional visitors drop in, make sure that you comply with the guidelines that are provided in the Rules section.
Many GPS Systems will route you to an old commercial entrance off Glass Road. Make sure that you enter through the main gates on the paved drive from Bird Road instead.
Please read the guest manual before arriving. It includes important instructions about how to enter the farm and where to park.
There are a few farm dogs that reside on the property - they're our friendly pets but also have a job to do! Don't be afraid if you're greeted by them from time to time.
We aim to provide a peaceful and scent-neutral environment to ensure that each guest experiences a healthy, comfortable, and enjoyable stay with us.

Smoking is STRICTLY prohibited anywhere on the property or inside the cabin.
No Smoking Policy:
Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the ENTIRE property, or inside the house. You will be charged a $250 restoration fee if the house smells like smoke, or if smoking-related paraphernalia is found, or detected after your stay.
Neutral Scent Policy:
We aim to provide a scent-neutral environment to ensure that each guest experiences a healthy, comfortable, and enjoyable stay. Please respect the next visitor by not using heavy perfumes, medicinal oils, cannabis, or air fresheners. Burning, vaporizing, smoking, diffusing, or cooking anything that can be detected in the air, or on the fabrics after your departure could violate this policy and you may be charged up to a $250 restoration fee.
Special Events and Commercial Use:
If you are planning a stay for special events, extra guests, or commercial use including photography, please reach out to us before booking to discuss your plans. These events may include additional fees and/or permits.
Barnyard:
Please do not feed the horses or barnyard animals without permission from the barn crew. The fences around the pastures are electrified and are on at all times for the safety of the animals, please do not touch the fence.
For your safety, do not enter the barns or pastures without prior approval.
Dogs:
If you’re one of our visitors with a dog, please keep your dog by your side, on a leash, until you hit the hiking trails (away from the residences and barnyard).
If you plan to leave them alone in the house, they must be in a crate/kennel as we know even the best behaved dogs act differently in new environments.
Sorry, no cats.
