We have 4 bedrooms and a den with a futon bed that sleeps 12-16 comfortably. There are 3 ½ bathrooms and a full basement with a pool table and room to blow up an air mattress or 2 if you so choose. There is a library area upstairs where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine or your morning coffee while doing a little reading. Go into Traverse City and enjoy the water and then come home and enjoy farm living. We live on a small gentlemen's farm. We have chickens and cows. Your kids can collect the chicken eggs during your visit, then cook them in the morning for breakfast. (Note: there are times the chickens aren't laying or predators have gotten them. We do our very best to keep the chickens/eggs laying but we can't always control nature.
We have a HUGE lush front yard where the family can play lawn games while enjoying a country view. There is also a pond and waterfall with a seating area for you to enjoy, as well as a fire pit area for those summer bonfires.
Just a short walk down the road you can hop on the beautiful North Country Trail and go for a hike. You can also bring your ATV and ride for miles. We are minutes from Forest Lakes area which include 5 different lakes. Spider Lake & Arbutus Lake have public access and are excellent fishing lakes.

Beautiful home perfect for our group!
Barb was an excellent host who was very attentive! She has a beautiful home that fit our group of 16 very well! There were many amenities that we were able to use in the home to make our stay even more comfortable. Some dishes and areas in the home were not clean, but we just made sure to wash anything we were planning on using. They do have very friendly cats that will come up to you so keep in mind for any allergies! Overall a great stay that we will definitely book again if we are in the area again!

Wonderful experience
This was my first experience using this service. It was just incredible, the correspondence from the owner made the whole experience worth it. Their house was clean and inviting for our family. The farm really ties in the whole property, memories to last a lifetime. I would highly recommend staying at this property, just a great vacation.
