Nestled in Manistee National Forest is a family farm. Trailheads lead to hundreds of miles of public two-track, and the woods roll between oak/maple/beech and aspen/birch. On the farm is a 20 acre lake with a floating island, tent sites, and healthy ecosystems with plenty of wildlife.Our farm pastures pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry, investing in our dirt and our neighbors. We are provision family farms because we provide for our animals even as we are provided for. Drop on in at the house and we may have time for a little tour.In the woods is a small composting toilet, but you're welcome to fertilize our pastures anytime. There's also a shower available in the house.The best time to visit Michigan forests is in October when the leaves turn color and the nights are cool. The mosquitoes are done for the winter and the air is brisk.

Your Hosts - Dan and Arlene Cool: “We served as missionaries in South America for over 20 years. Our first assignment was in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, primarily at a school for missionary children, teaching Bible classes (Dan) and helping to start up and run a hot lunch program (Arlene). After this we ministered in Paraguay for 10 years. Our final years of missionary service were in Chile where we founded a missionary training school to train Chilean missionaries. Latin American students that we helped train are now serving around the world bringing hope and the Gospel to needy people. Harvest Village helps to support the ministries of our former students. We are excited to enter this new stage of our lives and to share our family’s centennial farm with people interested in healthier living and farm vacationing.”Your stay at Harvest Village helps bring hope to the hopeless; We set aside $1 /per guest, per night, to help our former students who are serving as missionaries in some of the neediest places around the world.

My wife and I are slowly starting up our own little farm. We have 2 indoor cats, 1 outdoor cat, a dog, chickens and two ducks. We are on 34 acres and have a river that runs through the middle of it. We are 10 minutes from Alma and 20 minutes from Mt Pleasant. Lumberjack park is about 2 minutes away and Stearns preserve is about 5 mins away where you can walk or ride bike on a nice paved trail. We have a small garden that we plant every summer and plan to start a small farm stand this year. We are in a quiet area with lots of wildlife. We have 1 spot near the house with a view of the river that can support electric hook for a smaller RV and can attach a garden hose for water if needed. We do have a “field” that RVs can use but there is no hook up and there ground may not be level. We have many options for rustic tent camping along the river. No public restroom available. We can also provide some fire wood for campfires for a small cost. Along the river fires are allowed but must be contained in a fire ring. If camping by the field fires will be dependent on conditions. We have 3 kayaks and a canoe that can be used with prior consent. There is a park up river where you can put in and then can exit at our house which is about an hour on the river. We are very new to this and just purchased a UTV so we will be able to start making trails and clearing areas. But for now, camping along the river you will have to walk (and carry belongings) through tall grass to the site you desire. Quiet time 11 pm. We are an easy going couple that just want to share this slice of paradise with others! WiFi available

My children and I had enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Provision Family Farms! Luke was friendy and helpful, and the Treehouse campsite was beautiful. We ended up sleeping in tents because my kids were convinced that the sound of acorns falling in the roof of the tree house was some sort of malevolent forest creature. Highlights for us: We enjoyed seeing the farm animals, and the composting toilet station was beautifully designed and maintained.

My friends and I had the best time staying at the treehouse last week. The location is peaceful and beautiful, with a grocery store nearby. The treehouse is cozy and stocked with everything you could need. Before we left we got a tour of the family farm from the kids. The family is a wonderful group of welcoming, kind, and incredibly fun people. This was the highlight of our already fantastic stay! Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Staying at Luke's tree house was a magical experience I will never forget. Truly, this is a one of a kind hip camp, complete with all the creature comforts you could ever need; a camping stove, water, power charging box, and shower. The best part was the hospitality of Luke's family, who showed us around their regenerative farm!

The treehouse was fun and safe. Communication with the hosts was easy and warm. The farm has lots of animals. If you are sound sensitive when you sleep, know that the treehouse makes noise in the wind and as the siding cools at night. The bathroom shed is about 40 yards from the treehouse. I bought pork to take to my family. A sweet spot.

Delightful, magical treehouse that comes with a set of naughty black sheep. For a rustic tree house, it is thoughtful and well planned. We brought our own mosquito nets and twinkly lights but there was lighters, lanterns, and wood available. Our sheep greeted us at the gate everytime we came home and stopped by for breakfast. There were horses and pigs and Billy goats. Quiet, restful, and relaxing. Wish we had booked longer.

We loved crossing “camping in a treehouse” off our bucket list here at Lothlorien Flet! We were greeted with kindness and hospitality, and although our hosts were present and ready to help, we definitely felt a level of privacy that can be rare when hip-camping, we appreciated that! It was an honor being welcomed onto what we felt was very intentionally homesteaded land, from the rotational and free grazing, to the composting toilet system, it is clear that Luke and Caitlin care- about their land, the environment, and the community! The camp style is rustic, but the amenities are well-thought out, and provided more than a typical rustic camp (camp kitchen, water jugs, hammocks, battery charging, etc). Again, a lot of intentional care and thought was put into this!! Most of all, we greatly appreciated having firewood provided- bonus points for that! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Dan and Arlene were very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Their space was very comfortable for my family of 4 and the breakfast Arlene made in the morning was delicious! My 4 year old also thoroughly enjoyed the farm tour that Dan gave us in the morning. The hosts were very understanding of our late arrival and also very flexible in our check-out time. The bed and cottage was very comfortable - they set up two twin beds for our kiddos, which was great. Only thing is I wish I had brought my portable blackout curtain to block some of the light where the extra beds were set up, but I guess that is farm life for ya! :)

We loved our stay in the treehouse and camping in a tent on Sarah's land! The views were beautiful, and we truly felt the presence of nature all around us. There was another campsite nearby, but we made sure to keep our noise to a minimum. The best part was watching my children enjoy nature and observe the animals. Sleeping in the treehouse felt like an unforgettable adventure! The host was friendly and responded quickly whenever we needed something. Thank you so much, the Horvath Frias family
