“An incredible experience from start to finish. Great for a solo trip, girls weekend, or a family trip. There are so many fun and unique things to explore on the farm itself, there has been quite a bit of love and attention to detail that has gone into Rocky Top. Nearby recommendations: Antrim Creek natural area is free, a few minutes away, and virtually empty of tourists. Bee Well Meadery which is across the street from Shorts Brewing, in Bellaire. Very short and pretty drive. Petoskey, Charlevoix and Torch Lake areas are all very close and have a plethora of activities to explore. I particularly liked wine tasting at Royal Farms, two minutes from the camp. Next to Royal is Friskes which has yummy smoothies, good food, lots of activities, and a cute shop.”
“Wonderful place to unwind and relax. The treetop cabin is high up,but still surrounded by trees. The cabin, house is stocked with most items you may need, just bring a little food. Heidi, the host, is awesome. Never more than a call or text away. Very prompt and very respectful of your privacy.”
“We stayed at the Sunrise yurt for our honeymoon and we cannot express enough how wonderful this place was. Very well kept, very quiet and calming, amazing host and answered any questions we had and gave us great tips on nearby places! We will DEFINITELY be coming back!”
“I had the absolute privilege of photographing a wedding here this past September! The property was a gorgeous backdrop for photos providing so much variety! If you are thinking about getting married in northern Michigan, consider Rocky Top Farms as your venue!”
“It's not Christmas until we order Cherry Butter and many other butters, preserves and specialty items from Rocky Top Farms. We have been faithful customers for many years!”
“It's here!! I've been slow in reordering but could not be happier with the product that was delivered. I've been buying cherry butter for 15 years or more. Tks guys”
“Blueberry and cherry butter... everything I’ve had from Rocky Top Farms has been delicious but those two are life changing. ❤️”
“Cherry & blueberry butter! Awesome! Best price at site. Self serve. Have many other flavors. A must try.”
