1st let me say, that treehouse was not what we expected. Huge size, very spacious and fully accommodating. We didn't need anything. A perfect host. To be surrounded by woodlands, we didn't get harrassed by many bugs and true to word, that port-a-john was immaculate. My new husband and I had the best honeymoon.
The tree house was right above the road and you'd think the traffic would be a bother, but it wasn't and in the treehouse you only heard the wind, the tree, and acorns being thrown by squirrels. Peaceful & natural. Sam was a pleasure to meet and bond with. Very friendly and even asked if we need anything from the store on her way home. She's a true Gem.
The beds in the treehouse were spacious and comfortable. Very cozy. We will be returning.

3 nights at EarthWell Retreat Center
Earthwell is a wonderful place to unplug and immerse yourself in nature without feeling completely cut off from humanity.
The retreat has charming, well-stocked cabins that felt cozy and homey. Firewood and amenities were thoughtfully provided. Outhouses were well-maintained and managed odor surprisingly well.
The property itself is stunning: grass trails wind through meadows, forests, hills, and streams, with a pond perfect for paddling (canoes, kayaks, and a paddleboat are included). Wildlife is abundant- fish, frogs, and turtles in the pond; hawks, bats, and countless birds overhead; and even the distant calls of coyotes and foxes. The diversity of trees- walnut, oak, maple, and pines- made the terrain lush and vibrant. Nights brought a gorgeous starry sky and mornings offered beautiful sunrises.
The host, Emily, was warm and welcoming while providing plenty of space. Chelsea, just ten minutes away, makes for an easy day trip or supply run, but you may never want to leave the property.
Overall, Earthwell is a fantastic spot for several days of peaceful retreat and a place that captures the best of Pure Michigan.

My husband, our two dogs, and I loved pur short, but comfy stay. Sam was a great host who accommodated us last minute and made sure we had everything we needed. The tree house is a neat little spot!

We had such a great visit to EarthWell retreat! We absolutely loved our little rustic cabin and all the details made it so inviting and cozy. No need for electricity when they provide wireless fans and lanterns. The grounds are very well taken care of, the trails easy to walk and explore. The pond wasn’t too swimmable as it was later in the summer and the vegetation was high but we never felt that distracted from our weekend. Chelsea is close and has lots of options for food and shopping. Having the main house for charging and showers was a really nice extra benefit. We also fell in love with a very friendly kitty that came to visit us a few times. Overall, this is a great place to come and take a break from it all. Highly recommend!

4 nights at Treasure Hunt Treehouse
I really enjoyed our stay in the treehouse. It turned out that we arrived at midnight, and the treehouse was beautifully lit up, and Sam had provided a bowl of snacks and pitcher of water, which was much appreciated. We had coffee every morning on the porch or by the firepit, and listened to the birds. The property is filled with trees and is very lovely. Portapotty was super clean. Sam was a proactive host, making sure we had everything we needed. She even offered to make us breakfast one morning (but we didn't take her up on it). It was quiet at night, and I slept very well. One night there was a big thunderstorm, and a few drops of rain fell inside the treehouse, but it was no big deal, and an info binder in the treehouse had provided a heads-up about potential raindrops. This property has plenty of activities for kids (although we were two adults). Sam's absolutely adorable and very well-trained dog occasionally hung out with us. The larger area provided lots to do (by car); we loved Wamplers Lake and also Cherry Creek Cellars, a winery. Sam's property is relatively close to the road, and cars regularly go by during the day. While the property is on a hill above the road and surrounded by trees, you'll hear the cars. That was no big deal for us, but may disappoint anyone looking for total silence. As we were leaving, Sam brought us homemade blueberry muffins! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Two parents and a 7 year old slept well in late June. Clean, nice bathroom and outdoor sink. Cozy bed and hammocks. Pets were friendly. Was not buggy either on ground level or in the treehouse although flies, etc were in the local neighborhood.
