1. Harvest Village - Farmstay

41mi from Houghton Lake · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Le Roy, MI

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.

Escape to our secluded 10-acre woodland retreat, where privacy meets natural beauty just minutes south of Traverse City. Nestled against hundreds of acres of pristine state land, our property offers a perfect blend of wilderness and comfort with multiple accommodation options. We have eight thoughtfully placed RV sites and a cozy vintage mobile home. Our property's intimate trail system weaves through untouched backwoods, connecting to extensive state land hiking paths and offering endless opportunities for exploration and wildlife viewing. (Note: trails can be muddy at certain times of the year.) Here, you'll find yourself immersed in the peaceful rhythm of nature. Watch deer graze in the morning mist, listen to birdsong from your private space, and end your days stargazing under our light-pollution-free sky. The dense woods ensure complete privacy from neighbors, creating a true sanctuary in nature. The full 10 acres serve as a common area shared by the eight sites and the vintage mobile home located near the entrance of the property. Despite feeling wonderfully remote, we're conveniently located just a short drive from Traverse City’s attractions, wineries, beaches, and renowned restaurants. Enjoy the best of both worlds—total seclusion with easy access to Northern Michigan’s most beloved destinations. Perfect for: • Nature enthusiasts seeking solitude • Families wanting a safe, expansive outdoor space • Couples looking for a romantic woodland getaway • Groups wanting to book multiple sites together • Outdoor adventurers using it as a base camp for regional exploration
