Walking through the trails was fun. We can’t wait to come back in the spring. The Hobbit Hut was nice but smaller than we thought. The fire pit and animals were great for the kids. We went in early winter with some rain and still had a great time.

We loved the peace and quiet. There's water features and streams throughout the trails on property. Check with Michael about using the gas stove and oven; we didn't use it and the gas may have been off. Everything was clean and the inside water got hot. Michael was quiet to respond.

Milo Farms really is a magical place. Great hiking trails with little to no poison ivy. That is a big deal for me being severely allergic. All the wonderful people who keep the farm running are so nice and they are always happy to help. As a solo camper, I felt very safe as well.

We had a wonderful time the yurt is beautiful, the bed is comfortable. The property is so fun. We had a nice hike and there are a few other fun places he is working on to glamp in the future. The area is private, you can kindof see the other sites but can't hear them. We brought our 8mo old baby set up our travel crib and she had a great time. The area is mostly shaded so it stayed cool while we were there. We stayed 2 nights and wish we could've stayed more. There was a fan in the yurt which was nice because we were debating bringing one, and there were several chairs both by the site and by the camp fire so we didnt even use ours. There is a hammock which was peaceful to lay on. We didn't use the grill but it takes charcoal and tools are provided. The bed is a queen size. You don't have to bring much to be comfortable there. We will definitely go back!

This was so much fun! The land is GORGEOUS and the animals were an absolute delight. Tent camping was fantastic, and the Hippie Trailer was very well received by our less outdoorsy group members.

First-the crew there was so welcoming and helpful! Loni was out of town and they were great, from carrying stuff to our site, to showing us around, and telling us all about the place! I highly recommend doing the ATV tour to familiarize yourself with the property! We stayed in the Funky Bunkhouse. Super cute and comfy! The pool is also clean and so nice.

Milo Farm was exactly what I needed — a place to connect with nature, the trees, water, and the sacred land. The trails are wide, well cared for, and clearly marked, with lots of creative and thoughtful touches that brought smiles, surprise, and wonder along the way. The donkeys and goats were a delight and so heartwarming to watch. I stayed in the Hobbit Hut, which I loved for its cozy feel and location near the Frog Pond. A highlight was spotting a tiny frog, about the size of a quarter — something I haven’t seen in decades. The whole experience felt magical. What made my stay even more special were the meaningful conversations I had with Loni and the staff/WWOOFers, whose deep respect for the land and life shines through everything they do. I left Milo with renewed hope for the Earth and humanity. Truly a memorable and inspiring stay — I highly recommend it for anyone seeking peace, connection, and a little wonder.

The #2 Bunkhouse was the answer for me and my dogs, as we were there for 3 days of 95 degree plus temperatures . The AC and afternoon shade were much appreciated as well as the nearby showers.

The land was amazing to explore and take in all that surrounds you. Dipping your feet in the creek at night by the suburban listening the the water and reflecting is surreal. Walking the paths is another great experience. Chilling on the porch at the main house with the waterfall is amazing. You can play barred owl sounds loud and they with surrounds you. Best experience to reconnect with nature and get away from the city life. 10 out of 5 stars.

My husband and I loved staying in the Bunk House at Milo Farm! The land is beautiful and radiates the care and love that has been put into it. The cabin was clean, very comfortable and was more than expected with cool A/C, a mini fridge and microwave. Goats and donkeys roam the land during the day and are so friendly and fun. There’s much to do and explore and Loni is an amazing host and a kind soul. Everyone we encountered was great - there was both privacy and community available during our weekend stay. The forests and trails were a highlight and truly are a sacred space. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back!

Loved the Bo Ho bus at Milo. It was easily accessible with parking close to the bus. Which is a big thing for me since I've had a spinal reconstruction surgery. The bed was comfy and the A/C kept it just right inside. Love the vibe with all of the colors and lights at night. I'd definitely recommend.
