The name of our farm- EarthColors came about because I have not only fruits and vegetables but also grow a variety of plants and flowers that can be used as natural dyes.  Our property was part of another farm that was split off because 18 acres is a conservation area which is non farmable land.  We are lucky because it lay neglected for decades and never had gmo crops planted on it.   I grow everything organically and our free ranging hens get only non-gmo grains.

Weekend Trip to Tiny Love Shack Off Grid Glamping

Julie was a fantastic host! She checked in after our first night to see if we had everything we needed. We spent a weekend here as part of a greater road trip cross-country and we had a swell time. The views of the lake are gorgeous and the loft sleeping accommodations were super cozy! After we left we realized that we left some near and dear prized possessions (a special hat and one single ear bud) and Julie was kind enough to reach out and then mail these items to us! We are super thankful and do kindly recommend staying

3 nights at Thousand S.’s Land

Our goal was to find a place we could wake up in the woods, and this was the spot! Nice having coffee on the deck overlooking the property and ending the day w a fire. We were pretty self-sufficient, but my impression was that if we needed something we could just message to ask. I would have liked to be more social w. our hosts but just didn’t have the energy; the whole point of us being there was for a much needed respite. Also we were there during the work week and they were busy going about their business. We stayed in the treehouse and didn’t need the heat even, it is pretty well insulated which also cuts the train noise others commented on. Super cute goat! Very personable turkey! Definitely the woods go back a fair ways for exploring. We found good nearby hikes too; the big loop around the lake at Metamora-Hadley was a really good route.

Weekend Trip to TravelingTeahouseApothecaryGardens

Fantastic experience all around! Jiya was there to greet me when I arrived and showed me around the property. The Cricket and Thicket campsites are nearly identical, with Cricket being slightly closer to your car and Thicket being slightly closer to the bathhouse. Both are lovely little plots in a gorgeous setting. The property is lush, with flowers, fruit trees, and whimsical touches. The neighborhood is an inspiring example of urban renewal -- you'll drive (or walk!) by farms, gardens, playgrounds, and parks -- a little oasis in the midst of a big city. I saw children playing in the streets and even deer strolling along at dusk. In other words, I felt safe leaving my tent here as I explored Detroit. And this was a great home base for said exploring! An easy drive to the Henry Ford museum and to downtown. Would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area. A+

Weekend Trip to Tiny Love Shack Off Grid Glamping

I really enjoyed my stay at Julie’s B52 “Love Shack.” My dog and I felt right at home. Julie provided everything we could need. The upstairs was so relaxing and peaceful. The outside grill and zero gravity chairs were perfect for enjoying a delicious meal and providing front-row seats to view the stars and moon. The outside shower was an experience and a first for me. I mistakenly thought I had put enough water in there, but ran out with my hair covered in shampoo. Luckily, I was able to rebound pretty quickly and enjoyed an ice-cold shower on an extraordinarily hot day for October. Overall, this place and space offered me exactly what I was looking for, and I look forward to revisiting it soon.

1 night at Wool in the Wood - Peaceful Retreat

Lovely lovely land. Michael and Dawn are very sweet and friendly, willing to show you their amazing land (sheep, beehives, chickens, ducks, very nice trails in the back for an evening stroll). Very cozy and I was very happy to have found them on my journey!

Absolutely beautiful. Extremely accommodating. They have the most amazing pond and trails. The common house is immaculate and the wildlife and sky views are perfect

Weekend Trip to Mystic Hill

The site was nice; an wide open plot of lush grass with tall shrubs encircling it so we weren’t right next to the road, although it was audible still. Right next to the Lefurge Preserve, which was really beautiful the morning we dropped by. Lyanna was very responsive and kind!

3 nights at Thousand S.’s Land

If you're looking for a place to get away for a few days I'd highly recommend. Booked during the week in September and had the whole place to myself. Plenty of places to walk around on the property and explore. I stayed in the treehouse and would encourage you to try it for yourself. The hosts left me pretty much to myself unless I requested something and they were friendly and quick to respond if I needed something (fresh eggs, firewood, etc). The tent campsites I saw were all nice and clean and were far enough apart to have some privacy if they have multiple guests. They also have a group campground. One note, watch the chickens, they are sneaky and will sneak up and steal your food if you aren't careful. I'll definitely be back.
