Our fully stocked kitchen is perfect for providing meals during your stay. Keurig coffee is provided.

Exciting decorative touches are to be found in all areas of this newly designed house. Kids will delight in our rock wall and hanging chair in the birch tree bedroom.

The queen bedroom has a fresh vibe complete with its natural wood ceiling and stunning meadow views out the windows. Enjoy the original 100 year old wood floors that have been restored and kept throughout the home.

The moody dining room is filled with unique antiques found in the farmhouse.
Exit through our patio door to find our fully fenced gorgeous patio completed with a hot tub, solo stove firepit, propane grill, and picnic area. Wood and propane is provided! Have a magical evening under the hanging lights! Please note, the fence opening shown in the photos is now a gate that can close off the entire space.

The walk out basement boasts a 100" projection movie screen with bean bags, comfy rugs, a foosball table, and plenty of storage for your ski or summer gear. Full laundry is also available so that your winter items are ready for your next adventure on the slopes!

It is our goal that the house be a blend of unique and comfortable, romantic and simple, tastefully decorated and well stocked for all of your needs. The house sits on a 65 acre parcel of Northern Michigan land and it was designed to reflect this stunning property. We also have a log cabin on the property, it is not visible to the house, but there may be other guests enjoying the spacious land.

Adorable farm house in the country

The house is adorable- really. Every last detail is Insta worthy for sure. It’s about 1/2 mile to Bear Lake and not really walkable as it’s a modestly busy highway, but it’s a quick drive and easy access to the various sights of the area. There was a fair amount of construction going on at the adjacent property during our stay, but we were gone most of the day so no issue really. The owner was super responsive and very easy to work with. Very comfy for our family of four and you could easily sleep 2 more. Has all the basics needed - (super cute) cookware, laundry, coffee (thanks for the pods!!), etc. Overall great stay!! Would definitely stay here on our next venture that way.

Great location

The house is great for a small family/group and in a cool/sleepy area. Hosts were easy to reach and very responsive. The interior of the house is fun and set up well. The loft space was perfect for our teenager, however the beds in the bedrooms are super squeaky. Hot tub area was fun and used each night.
