Detach Primitive

We checked in to the Hobbit House on 2.1.25 and we were not able to get a fire going with the supplies provided for us. The wood was not lighting and was too wet. We ended up having to leave and got a hotel in GR instead. It looks like a cool place but I would definitely NOT recommend going in the winter. We were assured the Hobbit House would have fire supplies and wood, and we did not need to pack in supplies, and then we got stuck 😳Leaving this review so you can think twice. BE SAFE and try in spring, summer, or fall when you don’t need 🔥 On a brighter note, the pizza place (Flo’s) was spectacular and the owner overheard “birthday” and brought us some amazing cannoli’s! The food was too notch and a great place to warm up! Definitely recommend!!

Wow! what a cool thing i just found on google maps! this is great.. Rockford will have a full new motel soon but for now there is an alternative to the Colonial and it’s this! i will visit and update my review but for now this looks like one coolest place to stay in Rockford. if you have adventurous friends or family near Rockford you should tell them about this. really looks fun!

Detach Primitive is the place to go to unwind, relax, and "Detach" yourself from the stresses of life. we met and spoke to jim on Sunday, Sept.22 2024. He was very accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable. Jim is a good man,an honest man, he was extremely helpful and accommodating, we got along great. He was always a phone call away if you needed any assistance. we are definitely coming back next year. We had a great time.

Went for a weekend and stayed in A-frame west and had a wonderful time! If you'd like to stay in an A-frame I would definitely suggest this one. It is completely private and you cannot see neighbors or anyone from the front porch and camp fire area. I noticed the other two didn't have as much privacy but we're still quite nice I'm sure. My only complaint, keeping in mind it is July, is that the loft was too hot for my partner and I to sleep in, although we tried. We needed to move down into the main area and sleep separately halfway through the night. The onsite manager did a great job of checking on us when he saw us walking down the path to the bathrooms, otherwise we were not bothered all weekend and enjoyed the unplugged and peaceful retreat. The walk to accommodations is no joke and I suggest either getting them to pick up / drop off or bring the equivalent of backpacking gear. The trails are sand and difficult to pull the cargo wagon through, just because it is ups and downs through sand. We were stacked with wood and didn't run out and thoroughly enjoyed all of the accommodations. The board and card games were a great touch! If you are looking for off the beaten path, remote and unique accommodations, I definitely suggest staying here. We will definitely book again and look forward to trying out the other options. The bathroom mobile building was quite a ways away, so we only went when we needed a longer bathroom visit, otherwise we took to the woods! I cannot imagine waking up and walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night. We did not use the showers but they were clean and would have. The little book sharing box was also a great touch! My partner and I really enjoyed borrowing and reading through the relationship book in there.

It's a great place. Don't pack a ton of stuff like we did. It's a hike out there to the accommodations. We brought our two year old and it was just too much stuff. That's our fault. The new trailer bathrooms are very nice and welcome upgrade. I recommend hiking around the property. There's some really special spots just off the trail. Pictured is a tree we found oddly in the middle of tall pines. We named it cathedral tree. Impressive & beautiful.
