The SOL Homestead is a small but growing homestead with a focus on community. We raise chickens, ducks and pigs on pasture with aspirations to expand into cattle and sheep in the near future. The property is rolling acres with hardwood, pine, brush and open land with several miles of mowed trails. The terrain makes is very private and secluded, not a building or road (other than the driveway) is visible from the campsite. Wildlife abounds with regular sitings of deer, turkey, bald eagles, redtail hawks, grouse, pheasant, songbirds, and the list keeps going. The stars explode overhead when the sun drops behind the hills. The farm is over the hill and through the woods, you might occasionally hear a rooster crow, but otherwise you won't even know we are there. Located a short 20-25 minutes south of Traverse City, all the area attractions including Old Mission Peninsula, Leelanau Peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Manistee River, wineries, fishing, boating and countless other attractions. The Kingsley Farm Market on Wednesdays from 3:00pm to 7:00pm is a fun local even featuring great local farmers. We are currently offering one basic/rustic campsite, on a large flat(ish) site with picnic table and fire ring. There will be a Porta John for a toilet (May-October) and no access to water or electric at this time. There is plenty of room for any type of camper or several tents. If there is enough interest, we plan to add several more campsites and perhaps a glamping site, water, electric, and an outdoor shower in the future. Included with each stay is a rack of seasoned firewood and one dozen farm fresh eggs. Other farm products may be available upon request, you never know what might be ready in the garden!Valley View is set just to the east of a large maple stand taking advantage of evening shade with sprawling views to the east, north and south. There is a picnic table, fire pit WITH firewood, Portable Toilet (May-October) for your use, AND one dozen eggs! The site is mostly level and quite large, accommodating even the largest campers. There are no hookups.

My wife and I stayed one night. It was awesome. The location is perfect and the views are lovely. It was so peaceful. If you like watching the stars, then this is your place. We were even gifted some fresh eggs from their farm. We highly recommend this location and plan to visit again someday.

Everything was so lovely and just as described. Beautiful property with walking trails and a gracious host. And the gift of eggs! I will be back at this host’s property again ♥️

We loved our stay and it couldn’t have been better in terms of seclusion, privacy and peace. Very easy to find, Shauna reached out when we arrived and when leaving. The farm eggs, firewood and water were all great touches and super appreciated! Although cloudy during our stay, I imagine this would be a great stargazing spot. The rolling hills, greenery and wildlife all made this a great stay!
