Llama Meadows Farm is a sixteen acre organic fruit and vegetable farm. Located in Beautiful Benzie Country, in Northwestern Lower Michigan. We are one mile south of Crystal Lake and six miles east of Lake Michigan. Our-house is super insulated and passive solar. We had llamas for their wool and manure. We retired from raising llamas, we had 12 they got old and moved on. We have around 50 fruit trees. The fruit we grow includes apples, pears, figs and paw paws. We also grow grapes, and kiwis, we also put in filberts, walnuts and pecans. We have a beautiful labyrinth peace garden.

Purple Palace Tiny Tree House

100% (8)

Treehouse · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed · 1 toilet

Before You book reading this is mandatory. Newly Renovated and Insulated The Campground is 250 ft away from the Treehouse with intertwining art trails and The Artisy Outhouse has a pit toilet, with peat moss to use to cover solids and baking soda to sprinkle in to help with oder, there is also an essential oil defuser to add a flowery essence. The Campfire has a Grate Grill and a wire brush for you to clean after each use, when cooking your Food on it. There is a 6 ft table to use for preparing your food on. We have a large Outdoor Shower with Hot Water and five hooks behind the door for your clothes, towels and and a mirror. The treehouse is 8 x 8 ( tiny ) cute comfortable and cosy. Our Guests enjoy sleeping in the full size bed and waking up with the sound of bird songs. The north and south windows open and are screened in. The south window looks out to the flower and vegtable gardens and we welcome our guests to stroll through them at their leisure. We also have a Labyrinth Peace Garden and at the entry of the labrynth is a info box to read about it and flat rocks and markers to write a positive affirmation or art work that you can place in one of the 7 flower beds as you walk with your intention and prayer along the way. The Purple Palace Tiny Treehouse is much more then a full size comfy bed. Marty built a beautiful sturdy staircase with 13 steps leading up to the treehouse that is built in two Blue Spruce trees and it moves and sways with the trees in the wind and the breeze. The Treehouse can squeaks and creak from branches moving with the wind which is common. In the summer of 2023 we renovated the treehouse. WE took every thing out, added 3.5 inches of insulation, wall board that we stained funky purple an added a vinyl flooring. Moved everything back in, hung tapestries. and then we added glow in the dark stars. Nothing like sleeping under the Stars. Marty built a lovely incredible staircase to the Purple Palace Tiny Treehouse, so we have been allowing ONE well behaved small or medium size dog for a extra fee of $10.00 a night pet fee that you are responsible to clean up after your dog does it's job after each time using doggie bags. It has been working out great.There is a purple trash can on the deck under the treehouse besides a glider bench, clothes line and a purple hammock, there is a purple picnic table near to eat on. The Treehouse is super comfortable cozy and cute though It is teeny tiny 8 x 8 and the full size bed takes up most of the room. Because it's up in the trees you hear birds and other animals out in the woods. Also because it's in the trees, there are different kind of bugs that that could sneak in like tiny black beetles, flies, crickets, mosquitoes, spiders, monarch butterflies, ladybugs, fireflies and other insects around that is possible for any of them to sneak in. There are fly swatters to use if you need one. The Treehouse is a Glamping experience and a huge upgrade from tent camping. with lights, a small fan or heater (only to be used when you are in the treehouse) with a instant teapot, cups a tea and a small table for your stuff and storage under the bed. We welcome all who have read this, and look forward to the peace you will feel here. Love and Blessings to You Betty, Marty and Jazzy Bear Our Farm Dog (the hostess with the mostest).

Llovely Meadows offers a peaceful camping experience with a personal touch, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and friendly hosts. Most campers appreciate the warm hospitality of Betty and Marty, the rustic yet comfortable amenities, and the sense of community around the campfire. The campsite is well-maintained with clean facilities, including a unique outdoor shower and an artsy outhouse. However, some visitors have noted noise issues at night, suggesting that monitoring could improve.

We loved staying here! Betty is incredibly friendly and caring. There was clear communication about our stay and we were greeted upon arrival. Plenty of tables and chairs around the community fire.

Safe, lovely, and central

Llama camp is just so dreamy and sweet. This was our second time back and we intend to make it n annual trip. The grounds are gorgeous, the facilities are terrific (rustic but all we need) and the trails winding through the property are just so special. For our pop up, the space was flat, easy to pull into, electric hookup was easy and water was flowing. Also- the location can’t be beat. From the campground there are many gorgeous beaches, wineries, breweries, towns, restaurants, galleries, minigolf, ice cream shops and anything you could possibly want. It’s so central. Betty and Marty are fabulous hosts and just make you feel so warm and welcome. It’s safe, open, accepting, and just full of friendliness and love. We’ve met great people during both of our stays. I highly highly recommend Llovely Meadows. Just don’t take our spot next year!

Glamping in a purple treehouse!

Purple Palace Tiny Tree House

Betty is a fabulous host who takes alot of pride in her property and is thorough with making sure her guests enjoy their experience. Plenty of fresh well water to drink, handwashing stations, very clean and creatively decorated. Excellent recommendations for restaurants in the area or plenty of utensils onsite to cook your own. Plenty of area to go for walks and I love their friendly dog who came with! Fresh organic produce grown on site.

Can you just go to bed please!?!?

Site 2 / Abundance

Positive: Campsite was large, with picnic table & water cooler. Trails were nice to walk on. Negative: 2nd night neighbors next to us were drinking/loud until 1:30 am. We got up @ 7 am, packed & left. We are very silly& funny people and were kidding with each other as we packed. (Quiet time - 11 pm to 7 am). I complained about noise and much later was accused via text of fighting with my partner while packing up. Also accused of having a mean dog because she barked 2 times in am. (we put her in vehicle after 2nd bark and she was fine). Didn’t seem to matter that I was kept awake for 2 & 1/2 hours after quiet time the night before☹️ I would suggest monitoring camp more during the late evening and possibly giving warning of upcoming quiet times to those who are loud.

Site 4 Delightful

This campsite is quiet and private, where we stayed for two nights. On the first night, we enjoyed the bright night sky, with the Milky Way and a full dome of stars, simply sitting, gazing, and reflecting. Around midnight, we were slightly startled by the howling of a group of coyotes, but felt safe knowing the host had assured us they would stay away from the riven. The second night was cooler and a bit damp, but the sky remained clear, and the sunset was beautiful. It’s such a nice place, though we regret not joining the big campfire that most campers gathered around that night.

Purple Palace Tiny Tree House

My partner and I enjoyed our time in the tree house and on the property! The hosts are very involved and always around, we enjoyed the conversation and community aspect. The property and garden areas were truly beautiful. The stargazing is such a unique experience, with very limited light pollution, all of the constellations are clearly defined. There was so many thoughtful details throughout our stay- including extra bedding, a space heater for the cold nights, she even put some of our favorite teas in the tree house for us to enjoy during our stay. These hosts truly went above and beyond! Quiet hours are strictly enforced as the campsites, campfire and tree house are very close to Betty and Marty’s house.
