We had a fabulous time staying at this beautiful and peaceful cabin. It was extremely clean (and I'm picky!), it had everything we needed, and it allowed us to make perfect family memories. Thank you so much to our gracious hosts for this great place!

Fantastic. Glad you all and your pup enjoyed the cabin and property. It’s a fun place to chill and rewind for sure. Hope to see you again in the future.
We loved this beautiful cabin! Meticulously clean, wonderfully set up. Our dogs were in HEAVEN with the outdoor property and trail! You’ll need to drive into town but definitely do check out shops and the sunsets on Torch Lake.

Love that the doggies were having a blast. Thanks for the wonderful review. Hope to see you again at PA.
Great place to enjoy quiet evenings with family around the fire and close to many activities: lakes, golf, breweries, shopping, etc. Would easily book again for another trip to northern Michigan.

Thanks for the wonderful review. Very glad you enjoyed our cabin and location. Reach out anytime for future visits.
The property was beautiful and was within the distance we were wanting to do anything outside of the property. Great accommodations! Clean and loaded with anything you might need. 10/10 would recommend.

My husband and I had a fantastic stay in this gorgeous log home and we were able to bring our best girl (chocolate lab) , a must for us. Very comfortable beds and lovely kitchen stocked with everything you may need, we really enjoyed the seclusion and trails as well as the fire pit. Close to a cute town with some lovely little shops.

Nice Hope back a lane from the road. Nestled in trees with trails and area around you. Close enough to quickly get to various restaurants or other areas.

Thanks for staying at PA. Please come back when you can.
Very clean property both the grounds and the cabin. Well stocked; had everything we needed to have a fun getaway. The location is near lots of attractions including Mackinaw Island. We had so much fun there! The owners were easy to contact and responded quickly to all our questions. We’ll book this property again the next time we’re in the area.

Thank you for the great review Michele. It was a pleasure having you all here. Looking forward to your return to Peaceful Acres Getaway soon.
A couple of friends of over 30 years along with their wives, enjoyed every second of this home. Everything you’d need to have a great time. Used the fire pit, ate some great meals using the grill, and had an easy drive to Torch Lake for a day on the water. Would stay here without hesitation.

Charles and company, thanks for choosing Peaceful Acres for your get away. We appreciate you and how you took great care of our up north retreat. Please return when you can as you are always welcome here. Safe travels wherever you may go, B&K
The description of this property is absolutely spot on. We booked this over the week of July 4th because it is pet friendly and our dog does not do well with fireworks. Although you could still hear some fireworks on the 4th and 5th, our dog was so wore out from walking the property and surrounding areas, that they didn't bother her. I can honestly say Peaceful Acres had everything we needed for the week and more. If you're looking for a get-away that is still close enough to a lot of dog friendly locations, this is the place. Thanks for a great week!

Peaceful Acres is our “check out of the rat race” getaway for sure. Quite nights and days filled with cookouts with family and friends. Glad to hear your fur baby was able to relax and enjoy the nights after a days running through the trails. Please come visit us again sometime. It was a pleasure having you there.
We started with temps in the 90’s, air and fans got a good workout, kept us nice and cool.Cabin was great for us all week, and our dogs, location was perfect for all the places we planned on going to and we did them all.Property was nicely landscaped, we didn’t use the trail due to going places daily. Loved Alden, beautiful little town with Alden’s Mill House, go there, it’s amazing. Torch Lake area is beautiful, which is why we booked this property, location was perfect.

Thanks for the great review. We really appreciate that. Come see us again if you can.
The cabin had everything you could want. It was clean and had plenty of space. The location is perfect for all sorts of activities including fun on the many lakes in the surrounding area. The house was close to several amazing golf courses. In the winter, the cabin is close to ski resorts and snowmobile trails. The property owners were fantastic to work with. This cabin in the woods is a fantastic choice for those looking for a place that is close to the fun, but far enough away to not have to pay crazy high prices. We will return in the future for more fun in Northern Michigan.

Thanks for the great review we appreciate it. Kat and I are very glad you enjoyed our tiny slice of heaven. We would be happy to be your host for another visit to Northern Michigan in the future.
We came up to spend a day on Torch Lake. Little did we know the property would be as amazing as it was, we wanted to stay longer. Checked in on Friday and spent the evening on the trail with our 4wheelers, dirt bike and golf cart then around the fire pit. Saturday we was gone on the lake all day but we were able to come back and relax. The house is equipped with everything we needed and then some. There was firewood on the property for the fire pit. Owners were quick to respond to any questions. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. Our dogs loved all the space to run. Completely private and quiet. Highly recommend !

Thanks for the amazing review. We are so glad you enjoyed the trail system here with some power toys. We built it for friends and family to enjoy and we always have a blast ourselves when there. Please come again when you can as we enjoyed having you here. Safe travels wherever you roam.
I have stayed at my fair share of bnb’s and I will say hands down this house was the best one I’ve stayed at for a few reasons. Log home was tucked back off a quiet back road. It was extremely clean and felt like luxury as well as personable. Owners went above and beyond with top of the line kitchenware, nice furniture, and good comfortable mattresses. Honestly this is hard to find at most rental properties. The trail that ran through the property was gorgeous and well groomed. The outdoor fire pit was nicely maintained and the front porch had great seating as well to enjoy the views. Owners were quick to communicate and were super friendly. Thanks for the stay Bones and Kat!
