Completely renovated in summer 2022, this studio features a combined sleeping and living area in a room full of windows. Has a queen size bed and queen pull out couch available. The room faces South and West allowing plenty of sunlight through all of the windows. All nine windows include cordless blinds for privacy.

Conveniently located 7 miles from Grand Traverse Bay, 14 miles to the beautiful Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, minutes to the large all sports Long Lake, and approximately 10 minutes to the quaint village of Cedar where you can enjoy homemade meats year-round and the annual polka festival in the summertime.

This was a remarkable place to stay. We never have been on a farm before and this was exceptional. The apartment was immaculate and decorated in modern farmhouse style, and the bathroom was clean as a whistle. Katy and Mark are wonderful hosts. I fell in love with the two horses and felt deep comfort visiting with them. Traverse City and surrounding areas and lakes are perfect to explore and the farm is centrally located to all. Thank you Mark and Katy for renovating the apartment with such care and attention to detail and making us feel so welcome. We do hope to stay again.

Serene oasis on beautiful horse farm

This was my second time staying at the Rosas. The cottage is great, quiet and comfortable with easy access to TC and everything the Leelanau has to offer. Highly recommend!

Great spot for our trip

We had a great stay in the little farmhouse cottage. It was easy access to both Traverse City for the Cherry Festival and Empire and Sleeping Bear dunes. The bed was comfortable for us, our 7 year old slept in the couch and our 18-month old slept in a pack-n-play. Would happily stay here again the next time we're in town!

I had a wonderful stay. Didn't expect the apartment to be so nicely put together. Had everything I could want and more. The farm was quiet, and relaxing and I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay for the weekend.

Delightful accommodations to start the summer

What a great place and location to stay. The unit was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities of home. The location was perfect as we were in town for the Bayshore 1/2 Marathon in Traverse City and explored Suttons Bay as well. Katy was a great host and the property was very peaceful and quiet. We are already planning a return trip Kevin and Paula

Its in a barn

It was decorated very cute. But the listing should say its in a lean too in our barn next to horses. Also in our backyard and we will be in and out everyday. For the money it wasn't private and there is just a window airconditioner in the wiindow. So it got pretty hot. The mattress was ok. No box spring under it. Its cute just not worth the money we paid. &2,000 for 6 days is alot.

Terrific Leelanau farmstay cottage - a real gem!

This is a wonderful cottage, private, clean and beautifully decorated. We had a delightful week long stay, and it was a perfect location for visiting with family and checking out the gorgeous trails and beaches on the peninsula. The cottage was peaceful and quiet, with plenty of space for lounging while reading a book and rolling out a yoga mat for daily practice. The kitchen had everything we needed for dinners, and we look full advantage of the gas grill and patio area. I am a light sleeper and with the air conditioner found getting a restful night of sleep very easy. My dog and I loved walking the little yard area and watching the sun rise and set over the beautiful pasture and trees that surround the cottage. Katy and Mark are such attentive and responsive hosts, we so appreciated their warm welcome and help throughout our stay. Perfectly situated halfway between Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes/Lake Michigan - would definitely book again!

Don’t stay here

Roof had two leaks we had to use containers and the space is very small as it rained the entire weekend. The grass area was full of dog poop (owner admitted it was their dog) my husband stepped in it and we got some on our corn hole boards. At first the owner offered to credit us then later 3 days after we left we were blamed for things we did not do. I have stayed at many vacation homes and never had that happened. Also strong smell from the horses as you share a wall with them

Adorable farm stay. It is located on the side of a barn add on with windows that look out to the pasture with horses. We had sufficient privacy since the barn is not too close to the main house. Everything was clean. Katy left us a bottle of wine, dog treats and 2 certificates for wine tasting at a nearby winery, which was so sweet. If I had to suggest one upgrade for them to make it would be the squeaky metal bed. I think a more solid frame would be nicer. I would still rebook even though the bed is a little noisy. Thank you for your hospitality Katy!

Small but cute apartment. Nicely decorated. Be aware the apartment is directly attached to the horse barn. We loved seeing the horses- the brown one was particularly friendly! The proximity to the stalls led to a fly problem- it was impossible to open the door without letting a few in. Very small shower and no shampoo or body soap provided. Location was convenient for our purposes- we love spending time at Sleeping Bear and it's an easy trip from this location. All in all a good stay.

Quiet and Peaceful

A wonderful apartment in an incredibly peaceful setting. Beautifully decorated and very clean. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare a meal. The horses greeted us when we arrived and are very gentle and friendly. The owners have thought of everything and have made this a home away from home for their visitors. Can’t wait to book again.Thank you!!

Peaceful Lodging

Lodging was as presented. Super cute and comfy. Lacked nothing. Quiet area (and could even visit with the farm animals if you so desire). Bed and couches very comfortable. A/C in main living area worked well. Instant hot water in sinks and shower. Shower had good water pressure. Full size fridge and dining table. Ceiling fans throughout. These are not negatives, but something for light sleepers to keep in mind. The entire room is walled with windows. The window coverings are white screens and do not fully block out light. Also, there are decorative light bulbs along the outer roofline. They knock against the walls if the wind blows. The location was awesome. We visited Empire, Glen Harbor, Traverse City, and of course Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat’l. Lakeshore. Lots to see and do near this lodging.

Wonderful place to stay!

Loved this quiet, quaint get away just minutes from Traverse City, wineries, restaurants and Sleeping Bear Dunes. The accommodations were perfect. Truly the photos don’t do it justice. The space is larger than appears and extremely functional. The place was spotless ( and I am a bit picky). We had all necessary items to cook breakfasts every day. We were even welcomed with a bottle of wine from a local winery and tickets for free tasting. Last but not least our little dog loved frolicking in the yard. And I loved the friendly, gentle horse in the next yard! Would absolutely stay again!
