Loved this beautiful sacred land. Our stay and the property was amazing! We came with a group of friends, and it was great to camp & glamp together with our families and have our own space! Our kids had a blast and loved seeing the animals out and about:)

4 nights at Odessa Waterfront loft

This was an amazing stay. Small and cozy. The cabin was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Despite having people in the areas around us, it was so quiet and peaceful. The neighbor we did interact with was friendly and helpful. The host responded quickly and was very helpful in explaining the things we needed to know. The only issue we had was really out of the owners control and not his fault at all. Off leash dogs come right up on the deck. 🤦‍♀️ Overall a great stay, and I would definitely stay again.

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.

I absolutely loved camping at Milo Farms! The land was incredible, the views were immaculate, the donkeys made me want to buy a donkey, the pool was cool AND cool. I can't wait to return.

2 nights at Milo Farm Sacred Land

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.

Weekend Trip to Milo Farm Sacred Land

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!

As described, a true glamping and farm experience. Loni was kind and flexible. Matt came out to introduce himself and welcome us to the farm. Be prepared to rough it (byo toilet paper!) Overall great experience. We will return ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Weekend Trip to Milo Farm Sacred Land

We love staying at Milo farm! Only 30 min from home, it’s an easy escape from the city. We’ve stayed in 3 different structures on the property so far and the hobbit hut is our current favorite! Goats and donkeys will hang around you (protect your stuff while they’re out, they’re sneaky!), there’s plenty of trails and places on the property to explore, and it’s all wrapped up in a chill 70s hippy vibe ✌🏼☮️. We love the spiritual approach to the land and all the friendly people bringing you wood, checking in, etc. I know we have more stays in our future! Big thanks to Loni and her community for creating and opening up the space to folks. It’s a refuge when times are tough and you need the healing power of nature.
