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.

We had a group of 14 friends and family stay for a birthday trip to Traverse City and the house was everything and more! Every couple had their own bed. Staying on a farm was fun and having the farm fresh chicken eggs was a plus. I would warn that since it is on a farm there were flies but felt that it was normal as the farm is in front of the property. We just purchased some fly traps to place in the kitchen and it wasnt an issue. Would stay again!
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!
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.
