The “old house” was so lovely. It was peaceful and relaxing in a unique location. So fun sitting by the outdoor fire with the cows, watching the stars. Shannon was so thoughtful in providing everything that we needed. Would definitely recommend 10/10!!!

So happy you got to experience Northern Michigan farm life. Hope you get to come "home" again. :)
I really needed to get away from life and unwind and this cozy place was perfect for me. It was secluded, peaceful, and welcoming. It had plenty of photography opportunities and plenty of open spaces. I will absolutely be coming back to this place in the future!

You are so kind! It would be a joy to have you and your family stay again. Keep us in mind if you ever get this way again.
The rental was clean and supplied very nicely. We Han one very small problem, and the owner came over and fixed it right away. This was a a wonderful place to stay in a very nicely updated farmhouse.

Thank you so much! We would be delighted to have you stay again. :)
The property was perfect for our gathering- close enough to town for easy access but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. The house itself was so charmingly decorated and all the personal touches that Shannon provided really made us feel welcomed and special. I highly recommend this property for a romantic getaway or a fun family vacation.

We needed a place for family that came in from Colorado, 5 grandchildren, their spouses and 2 great grandchildren. Shannon is an amazing host, and the house was perfect. The kids loved the quiet location and enjoyed the house. Thank you Shannon!

We appreciate your kind words so much! We would love to have you back anytime.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at The Old House! The space was clean, comfortable & accommodating. We loved the outdoor yard surrounding the house where the kids ran free & we especially enjoyed the outdoor fire pit patio. Shannon, the host, went above & beyond to make the place homey & personalized for us as her guests. We had everything we needed & then some. I could not recommend this choice more.

Thanks so much for your kind words. It makes us happy that you felt comfortable and at home. 😁
Perfectly decorated with multiple charming touches that truly personalized our visit. The outdoor space was perfect with lots of comfortable seating, a smokeless fire pit and plenty of dry firewood. Outdoor games for the kids were a nice touch. The kitchen had all of the dishes and appliances that we needed. The beds were comfortable and everything was exceptionally clean. The two sitting spaces were perfect for our multigenerational group. Great place to relax and chill while enjoying nature. We are playing on staying here again.

We were so happy to share our little old house with you and your family. We hope you get the opportunity to come and enjoy other seasons in our neck of the woods. :)
The quintessential Farm home. This was a delightful home for the family as we explored the surrounding area. Off the beaten track with all the right amenities. Nothing fancy, but simple, welcoming with all the right amenities. Enjoyed a walk down the dirt road, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Quite a delightful experience.

About the host
Hosted by Shannon Brege
My husband, Scott, and I have raised 6 daughters on the farm. We are family oriented, so it seemed only natural that we wanted to create a place where many fun memories could be made. All of the land that you can see is Brege land and we are so proud of it and so humbled by the blessings it has provided. In the past couple of years, we have been able to bring The Old House back to its former glory and with the help of Scott's sister and brother-in-law, Moltke Maize Maze was born! It is a corn maze that is right across the road in the fall. We hope our home gives you the same warm fuzzies it gives us and we truly hope you create lifetime memories just as we have.
Why they chose this property
As my husband's family had been farming for about 70 years when we got married, it seemed only right that we continue the tradition. Scott bought this property before we were married and it is what I came "home" to as a new wife. All of our children were raised here until we moved to the "main farm" in 2007. As our children are all grown and starting families of their own, we realized that this house holds so many cherished memories and in 2021, we started the process to bring the love back to it. Through countless donated hours of friends and family (not to mention our own), The Old House was brought back, even better, to the cozy little home we knew. And if you're wondering about the name of The Old House, it was a nickname the kids gave it when we moved to the main farm to differentiate between the two houses. It has been, and always will be The Old House....but in the most charming and loving of ways. We truly want OUR home to be YOUR home when you're away. Don't be afraid to flop on the couch and munch a bag of chips......don't worry about dirt being tracked in on muddy feet. Having 6 daughters in 8 1/2 years that are now grown and starting their own stories has taught us that time is but fleeting and meant to be enjoyed. So go ahead!!! Leave those crumbs and track those dirt piles in!!! Make as many memories while you can. They'll be time later for vacuums and brooms.
What makes this property unique
As you can obviously tell when you arrive, The Old House sits on many acres of farmland. The quietness and peacefulness fills your soul without you even realizing it. The 360 degree view from the top of the rolling hills is a hard one to beat. Warm, orange sunsets setting over fragrant hay fields with cotton candy clouds in the background cannot be rivaled. When you are here, time seems to stand still. When you are here, there is time to smell the roses. When you are here, you can play kickball outside until the crickets sing. When you are here, the sound of birds chirping and the wind through the grass becomes the lullaby you didn't know you were missing. When you are here, doors can be left unlocked and neighbors stop by for visits. When you are here, you are home! So, welcome! Welcome home to The Old House. :)
