    The Farmhouse, as the property is referred, was just that. A wonderful quite small home that has been updated with modern kitchen and bath. It is literally on a farm with a huge yard, barn and a nixe patio. In both mornings there were deer. Diners and bars are about 10-15 minute drive. Loved the property. The living room is stuffed with overstuffed chairs and sofa. Iwould have preferred something less stuffed to sit on, but the sofa could easily be used as an additional bed.

    Vacationing from Canada, our family loved this farmhouse in a quiet area not far from Traverse City. We visited 5 different lakes all within a short drive and loved every one, especially Torch Lake! The property has everything a family needs for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommended!

    This was our third year in a row staying at this beautiful home. For our family it’s the perfect location to get to Traverse Bay and Torch Lake. The kids love walking the trails and playing in the yard. Can’t wait to book again next year!

    Wonderful house in a quaint area of upper Michigan. Great place to rest your head after a long day in traverse city or torch lake. Very comfortable, clean and homey. Kids loved the yard to play and the “trails” to walk on together.

    It was the best VRBO experience so far! The home was amazing, exactly as described, and spotless. You won't find many that greet you with a homemade cherry pie that was the best I have ever had. This home and stay deserve more than five stars!
