Love this location!

We had a great stay! The house is so cute! Loved the big island and kitchen. Everything was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. We enjoyed coffee on the sunporch each morning, sitting outside on the patio and hanging out in the living room/kitchen.

Great getaway close to Torch Lake!

We had an amazing stay at this nice and clean farmhouse. Torch Lake was about a mile away so we were able to find the lake with ease. The house itself was very clean and up kept. Would highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

Farmhouse Stay

We rented this house to stay off site during our wedding. We loved the location, set up of the home, the kitchen and patio out back. It was a great place to stay and I’m sure we will rent again in the future.

Charming Farmhouse

Needed a place to stay as we visited family nearby. The Farmhouse is the nicest place we've stayed in the 4 yrs of visiting the area. Everything appears almost new and very well stocked with disposable goods, kitchen items, etc. Had one minor issue and the owner was there in two minutes, as they live next door! Many of the area activities are within 20-25 mins. Will try to stay here again.

Wonderful vacation rental

We were so impressed by the farmhouse rental and the coziness/comfort/cleanliness of the (very well maintained) home. The kitchen was perfectly stocked for our family of 5. Only thing to note was the lack of A/C, but there was a fan in every bedroom. We enjoyed morning coffee in the sunroom and campfire nights in the yard, and the owners were very responsive to our questions along the way. Highly recommended!

Loved The Farmhouse

All the comforts of home at this charming Farmhouse. Loved the kitchen island and spending time with family here. Slept well in the comfortable bed on the main floor. Also appreciated having three bathrooms (2 full, 1 half)! Conveniently located only 1 mile from Alden.

Pulmonary nurses getaway

The house was incredibly charming with special touches throughout the house to feel like you were at home. The grounds were immaculate and simple gorgeous to walk the neatly groomed trails. Again, the home was beautiful decorated and the kitchen ideal for meal preparations and to gather together. The beds were so comfortable and the bathroom space more than you could hope for with five women.

Lovely

Property was lovely and clean. The house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers to spread out and be comfortable. No air conditioning, but definitely did not need it. The owners obviously care about their property and take great care of the house.

Country Getaway

We absolutely loved this farmhouse for our base of operations for our week in Traverse City and the surrounding areas. Lovely trails groomed into the property, and many chances to view the local wildlife. Located super close to Torch Lake and all the exciting activities there. Short drive to Traverse City and surrounding areas to see the wonderful sights Michigan has to offer. The property was clean, beautifully renovated and quiet. We stayed cool and comfortable with all the lovely windows and fans even without AC. Host was very easy to contact and super responsive. A+ vacation rental, would highly recommend!

Just Perfect!

This property is excellent! Krista met us at the property and the first thing you notice is how immaculate and good smelling it is. Everything you need is at this property and then some. It is exactly as advertised. The house does not have AC but all 4 days that we were there it was in the low 80s and we slept upstairs with the window open, fan on and had to cover up with a sheet and blanket in the middle of the night. Everything is updated and new. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Beautiful property

The owner great and lives next door. She brought us a small appliance to use when requested. The home is clean and beautifully updated. It is close to Alden. He surrounding property is quiet and pretty. We appreciated the paths that were mowed and walked them several times. We saw several deer on our stay. Our only complaint is there is no air conditioning. We knew this ahead of time and brought a couple of fans ourselves. There were also other fans to use there and ceiling fans. One night of our 8 was almost unbearable as it was hot and muggy and none of could get cooled off. Overall, this is a great place. It is convenient to the area’s activities, yet in a quieter, country setting.
