About this property

Large, vintage farmhouse in central Leelanau County. 10 mins to Lk Mich beach

A rare find in the heart of Leelanau County, this truly charming "turn of the century" vintage farmhouse-style home sits on 10 beautiful rolling acres. It is just minutes from Lake Michigan and Lake Leelanau. This two-level home is in the heart of Leelanau County, just north of Cedar. The backyard faces East. There are 8-bedrooms and 3-bathrooms, and the home sleeps up to 14 maximum. There are 4-queens, 2-full beds, and 2-twins.

Two bedrooms are on the main floor and six bedrooms are upstairs. The home has hardwood floors, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a full kitchen with dishwasher. A washer and dryer are included. There is a TV (no cable), a DVD player, and Wi-Fi. The steps going upstairs are shallow.

This is a wonderful spot to relax. Read, drink wine, and enjoy the good life in this quiet rural area. A gas grill and spacious deck for outdoor dining are designed for ease. Stargaze into the crystal clear sky at night. Ready to swim? Head a few minutes east to south Lake Leelanau or west to beautiful Good Harbor Beach on Lake Michigan. The cute towns of Glen Arbor or Leland are easy drives too. It is less than 20 miles to Traverse City.

No air conditioning. No pets. Linens are provided. No smoking.

Perfect for large groups

We were considering reserving 6-8 hotel rooms for the nights before & after a family reunion in Traverse City. Found this property on VRBO & couldn't have been happier. We had plenty of space with great amenities plus a huge cost savings vs hotel rooms. Very nice experience!

Farmhouse Deluxe

We rented here 5 years ago. Many lovely updates. Spacious. The house was clean and like all houses up north had a few little beetles that were never an issue, no ants. Linens were clean and all rooms had fans and a screen to put in the double hung windows. Loved it.

Relaxing and fun stay!

We are a group of friends who got to get away for a long weekend together. We loved the space and the location- lots of open area in the house and outside but still very close to the city. A few things I wish I had known were that there is very sparse cell phone service and that there was a portable dishwasher. Luckily I'm familiar with how to use one but most aren't. Most of the supplies were well stocked, but there were not enough silver ware for each person. There were also only 2 trash bagsand no extra blankets. Otherwise it was a great stay at a great location!

Fun Old House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This farm house has a lot of old home charm. While I love old homes, this one needs quite a bit of updating and love. There is chipping paint, rotten wood throughout and peeling tile in the ice cream parlor. The old stove is charming but I would've preferred something a bit more functional. All that said, we had a great time and enjoyed having a large amount of space for our group of 10.

It was not a good experience.

The house is in a bad location, the house is old, it was dirty, at night you could hear people passing by outside, there was no air conditioning, overall it was a bad experience and we will not return to this house. Very disappointed as it looked very nice in the photos.

Good location and lots of bedrooms

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is old and needs some updating. Strong smell of mildew when you enter. None of the downstairs windows had screens so you couldn't really open the windows at night. Advertised as on 10 cares but you can really only walk on 1. House faces and is directly across from Holy Rosary Church. House is in a great location of rolling hills and farms. 30 mins to Sleeping Bear Dunes, 30 mins to Traverse City, 20 mins to Leland fishing village.

Charming but in need of repair.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Somewhere in Time was in a great location, private and peaceful with lots of room indoors and outdoors for our group of 16.the refrigerator, stove top and Weber grill were adequate, oven was very small so didn't use it. Back deck was large but needed rails in a couple spots, and front porch was crooked and in need of repair. We avoided the Ice cream parlor since floor was cracked, baseboards missing and it was not clean. With a lot of TLC, this could be a great place.

Somewhere in time farmhouse

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented this house several times (5?) in the past years. Visit Up North employees are quick to respond to reasonable requests and are courteous and pleasant. August 2024’s weather was VERY hot (90 to 100 degrees every day) and the fans in every room were very welcome!We are 8 professional artists coming to paint plein air (outside) every day, all day. The house is large enough to all gather together, if we want, either in the dining room, living room, or the deck outside. We critique our paintings in the long and narrow enclosed front porch. We each have our own bedroom which allows us to maintain our individual schedules. Two bedrooms down, six bedrooms up the very narrow stairs. There are two full baths downstairs, one with tub, one with shower. Upstairs, one toilet and sink, and in its own room, a shower, a very convenient setup.
