Welcome to Sandy Woods Retreat! We’re Rob & Kathy, and we’ve set out to build our very first cabin together on a little plot of land in Michigan. From clearing brush and setting posts to framing walls and raising the roof, we’re documenting every step of the process—mistakes, laughter, lessons, and all.

Our hope is to encourage others who dream of creating their own place of peace, to share what we learn along the way, and to give God the glory for making it all possible. 🌲🙏

If you love cabins, DIY builds, off-grid living, or simply watching a big dream come to life, we’d love for you to subscribe and join us on this journey from raw land to a finished retreat.
