Hosting May 22 - mid/Oct My husband Dan and I purchased this property 6 years ago and have totally restored the land, home and barn from its prior condition. Consequently, if you view the various on line satellite images be advised they are out of date and do not reflect the love we have put into our sanctuary. We are retired and live here with our two standard poodles Mila and Indiana. The property is 5 acres, mostly meadow with a maple grove as well as a wooded ravine. We have planted various fruit trees, cherries, apples, peach as well as pears. We also have a small grape and berry patch which is next to our vintage trailer. There is also an old abandoned trail through the forest that makes for a nice walk. Our location is convenient to Traverse City, Alden, Belaire, Kalkaska as well as the equestrian center and the casino in Williamsburg. There are various places to eat/drink within close proximity as well as places to purchase fuel, groceries and liquor. Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas are a convenient drive where you can visit the many vineyards, orchards, shops and enjoy the beautiful vistas of the lake and bays, or shop some of the unique stores and galleries. There are many off road vehicle and bike trails that are not far away as well. As well as boating on beautiful Torch Lake and the chain of lakes. A day trip to Sleeping Bear dunes is well worth the drive. We would be happy to make suggestions on activities, dining, entertainment during your stay. We currently have three sites which are on seperate areas of the property. Lake View site is a Vintage 1985 Avion travel trailer which as been completely renovated with all new systems. It is located with a western view of Lake Skegemog and next to our grape and berry patch in our back yard. Maple Grove site is a new Coachmen Catalina Destination series RV. It is located on the front side of the property next to the maple tree grove. Lavender Lane is located in front of our barn with a view of our small orchard and the forest, close to the walking trail. All our sites are fully outfitted with quality linens, towels, dishes and cooking equipment. All of the units have Air Conditioned and heat. New this year is our chicken coop and run. We (Bill) has always wanted chickens.

Over 7 acres of gentle sloping meadow with views of Lake Michigan, beside a growing family farm and homestead. Our gently sloped meadow and shady pine grove are perfect for campers seeking more private, quiet camping, and the Upper Room invites you indoors, while enjoying the outdoors. In the pine grove, a freestanding deck overlooks Lake Michigan, with views of Beaver Island and Great Lakes freighters. On clear nights you can glimpse beams from a handful of lighthouses. The pine trees offer shade and protection from weather without blocking the breeze (and the pine duff creates a spectacularly soft ground for sleeping on). Or set up your tent on the hillside--open your flap to Lake Michigan's famous sunsets, or face south to see a blanket of treetops. Near the barn, your RV has a flat spot to park at the base of the "Southern Slope" meadow full of wildflowers and monarch butterflies. For guests wanting more creature comforts, the Upper Room Glamp Apartment has all the amenities--television, queen bed, dry kitchenette, and access to the main house bathroom and shower. All options have access to fire rings and views of countless stars on a clear night. You'll be staying minutes from multiple beaches for swimming, boating, fishing, and rock-hunting. Our sites make a great HQ for day trips to Mackinac Island, Beaver Island, Mackinaw City, Petoskey, and Charlevoix, or a way-point on Fall Color Tours or drives up the Tunnel of Trees on M-119.

1 night at Treehouse Convertible A-Frame Cabin

What a special place. The A Frame is so thoughtfully constructed and appointed for all you need in a compact and comfortable ‘camping’ environment. The mattresses are comfortable, sleeping bags if you need them, water, hot plate, kettle, radio, power, lights, very clean bathroom - area outside for fire and bbq … and the convertible siding is such* a special touch - I ended the night with a bourbon on the deck and stars and started the morning in bed w coffee and the siding up and didn’t want to leave. John was super friendly and responsive and you can see the care he and his family have put into this space. It’s also 10 mins from Charlevoix which is convenient. Big fan. 10/10. Highly recommend !

The hosts were absolutely wonderful and attentive. The camper was clean, the mattresses super comfortable, and everything you could possibly need was provided including bedding and a coffee maker and electric kettle. The refrigerator was a good size, and kept everything at the perfect temperature. Will definitely be returning next year.

We had a wonderful time staying at Pineleaf! Our host, Tim, was very welcoming and hospitable. We stayed in the cabin. We woke up every morning to a great variety of birds and wildlife surrounding us, especially in the gorgeous field that the deck overlooked. The bed and outhouse bathroom were exceptionally clean.

Weekend Trip to Schoolie Bus Camp & Camping Area

Stayed here with my family of four for two nights and my kids said this was their favorite place we stayed! The bus is rustic so if you are expecting the four seasons then please move along. If you want a truly unique campsite in the northern part of the mitten, then this is for you. We never met our host in person but they were very easy to chat with via the app and also gave us their phone number in case we needed anything. We brought our own camp stove and cooked outside for all of our meals, but I think if you wanted to use the propane cooktop in the bus you need to bring your own propane. There was also a fire pit where we had wonderful fires in the evenings. This spot is really private and we loved spending time here. It is also only a few minutes from the town of Charlevoix and in less than 10 minutes you can be at a beach, you can be at the grocery store, or you can be eating ice cream or dining at a great restaurant. The air conditioning in the bus keeps it nice and cool, it is pretty buggy in Michigan this time of year so we appreciate keeping everything shut while we were sleeping. If I was coming here again I would make sure to bring two full sized fitted sheets and one twin sized fitted sheet for the bed. You bring all your own bedding so please take note. There were some very basic kitchen amenities that we found helpful, but whatever you require you should bring. Bathroom was clean and easy to use. Definitely hoping we'll come again!

We had a great time in the Avion at HillCrest! The location is perfect, close to lots of things to do but far away to feel secluded. The Avion itself was stocked with essentials and was the perfect cozy spot to hang out ant the end of the day. Dan and Bill were very welcoming hosts and have put a lot of time and love into their beautiful property. We look forward to planning an another trip!

4 nights at HillCrest

We loved staying at Maple Grove. The RV was comfortable with all the things we needed. Whenever we had a problem (a storm knocked out one of the A/C units) or needed something (spices and a grill) Bill was very responsive and resolved it. The outdoor space is beautiful and inviting. The hot tub was amazing after hiking earlier in the day. The location was great; quiet, secluded, and out of the way yet close enough to Traverse City, Torch Lake, cute towns like Elk Rapids and Alden, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Bill and Dan are excellent hosts, and have done an incredible job restoring their property. We'd recommend staying with them at any of their sites, but we will definitely be back to Maple Grove!

1 night at pineleaf.

Tims cabin is so awesome and relaxing. It's just you and nature. It's a little drive off grid on a little dirt road easily accessable for any vehicle. Tim make sure to help you in anyway. If it's all the stuff he stocks in the cabin just in case you forgot something, to offering you information on what there is to do close to camp. This was our fourth stay and it was only for one night. My wife and I were on the way home from the U.P. and needed some where to stay about half way. It was nice catching up with Tim ( who we consider a good friend ) I'm glad he's giving us a chance to enjoy his piece of paradise . Thanks again Tim!

Norwood Township Park was close and empty!

4 nights at Private Rustic Pines- Dog friendly

My daughter and I loved the place! Peaceful getaway to slow down and take in the beautiful up north living. Clean, cute and perfect setup! There was a portable gas stove top, pans and utensils so we were able to pack lighter! Leah provides some lighting options which were great but if you plan to stay up late playing games, you may want to bring extra. Leah was great at answering these questions prior to the stay so we came prepared! Would highly recommend and will stay again for sure! Thank you again Leah!

Had a lovely stay at the purple palace! The treehouse is so cute and comfy, and the land is gorgeous. There were many amenities, and Betty was a fabulous host. Great location with nearby hikes, beaches & grub :)

4 nights at HillCrest

We hope to get back to the Traverse City area (this was our first time) and we would absolutely return to Dan and Bill's HillCrest! The best accommodations (all we needed to bring were our food and clothes!) Our RV (Maple Grove Catalina) had everything else we needed... even a Keurig with some pods, cocktail shaker, toaster, small blender, and I think there was also a pressure cooker and crockpot. Even a small dishwasher and washer/dryer combo! Absolutely beautiful property!! Quiet, peaceful, just truly GREAT. AND, Bill and Dan are genuinely very gracious and interesting hosts who care about the details. If we weren't 350+ miles away, we'd be inviting them over for dinner.

Leelanau Campground

We were able to snag site 33 and it was so gorgeous! We had a perfect view of the lake right from our site. There was a fire ring and picnic table provided and the state park employee at the check in station was so helpful! They also have firewood and ice for sale if you need more than what you’ve brought. The only thing about site 33 is that we were right next to a trail so occasionally we had other campers walking through but it wasn’t bad at all.

Absolutely loved our stay! Dan and Bill are great, friendly hosts who made us feel welcome right away. The lodging was clean, cozy, and beautifully set up, and the property itself is stunning—peaceful, well-maintained, and full of charm. Highly recommend!

Leelanau Campground

I just spend a few days at Site 31 at the Leelanau State Park Campground, and it was incredible. A small part of that was luck - we went in mid-October and the weather was very mild. We had a bit of rain during setup, but that was nothing. It's directly on Lake Michigan and you get everything that comes with that. Sites across the road and in the trees obviously offer more protection from the elements, but there are lakeside sites available as well! The unique shoreline is an amazing place to birdwatch, as it is marshlike with the waves of Lake Michigan rolling right into the brush and grass of the shore. A word of warning; poison ivy is truly everywhere. Watch the kids and pets, it borders all trails and campsites.
