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.

Weekend Trip to The Vine Wilderness Glamping

We booked this site last minute and were so thankful it was instantly approved. The hosts were kind and quick to help when Google Maps sent us a bit off track. Once we arrived, the space felt like a hidden little retreat tucked into the woods. It’s easy to imagine a young family making memories here… kids playing badminton, chasing fireflies, roasting marshmallows, and drifting off to the sound of crickets and frogs. The setup includes a portapotty with a foot-flush and small sink, an outdoor shower, a futon, a queen air bed, and two cots. There’s a picnic table with umbrella, a coffee press and kettle, simple dishes and cups, a small grill, games, coloring books, and polyester linens. Everything was tidy and looked newly stocked for the season. The drive in is a narrow, bumpy two-track… best for a smaller 4x4. Once you’re settled, it’s peaceful and quiet, with a wide open sky full of stars. The hosts clearly care about creating a welcoming, family-friendly place to unwind. The mattress wasn’t the comfiest and the tiki torches were empty, but those are small details in an otherwise thoughtful stay. We enjoyed our night here and can see it being perfect for a family weekend… laughter by the fire, s’mores in hand, surrounded by the sounds of nature. ♥️🌲🖖🏻

This was an incredible glamping experience! We came up to Sleeping Bear dunes for our anniversary trip and stayed here for a night. The bell tent is absolutely adorable and had everything we needed, secluded in the forest. Highly recommend this magical spot!

It’s very rustic but has everything you might need. Once we got settled in, we enjoyed our trip.

Here is a picture from the treehouse of the campsite and how we arranged our tents.

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.

5 stars! What’s a great spot. It was easy too find and close to so many fun spots . The tent was in perfect condition, the beds/bedding and pillows were very comfortable. Everything we needed to grill up some steaks was already there! The tiki torches and citronella candles that the host provided did the trick, bugs were really not bad by the tent area. Carts were provided for the way out to the tent which takes just a couple minutes and is a pretty walk! The host helped us out with some extra wood and some washing water. The bathroom and shower was clean and the portable charging station and fan in the tent was a great touch! The host was also very responsive . 10/10 spot and will stay again until the future!

This lil camper was adorable and Robb & Jeanne helped make it smooth with everything you could need - water, a mini fridge, soft lights outside, a fire pit with wood & kindling, and the list goes on! Their instructions were helpful and thorough. The place was clean, quiet, and oh so quaint. Would definitely stay again the next time I'm in Michigan!

This was a wonderful glamping experience in the yurt. The hosts were very accommodating with carts at the entrance for the short walk to the yurt. The disc golf basket was a great activity. Very nice space and set up at the site. Would highly recommend!

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.

Wow! What an amazing find. Georgia and Steve have thought of everything. We had the best two nights glamping on their land. The tent was huge, clean, and stocked with all the amenities we needed for cooking and enjoying our time. The beds were comfy, the shower was hot, and the outdoor area was perfect for relaxing and cooking over the fire. It was the small touches that really amplified our experience—from the couch and game selection to provided towels, fire-cooking utensils, spices, fairy lights, tiki torches, and even thoughtful details like a mirror. Most of our party is around 6’, and we could all stand comfortably in the tent and shower, and fit comfortably in the beds. The location was perfect for our weekend trip to hike Sleeping Bear Dunes and explore the nearby lakeside towns. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!
