Private 50-acre Home Pet Friendly-Huge Greatroom-Firepit-Pond-Gameroom

We offer a brand-new rental listing! Even though this is a new listing, we are experienced hosts. We hosted another property in Northern Michigan with 5-star reviews for 3 years. We know reviews drive a comfort in choosing a rental property for your friends & family. As a new listing we are looking to boost our reviews by exceeding your expectations. We frequent this rental as it is our home away from home and because of that we stock it with more amenities/extras than most! Please feel free to contact us with any questions about our home. We look forward to hosting you.

Fall Weekend Away
Beautiful home with the most gorgeous view! We spent a lot of time on the trails and fishing in the pond. The open floor plan made it easy to enjoy using the chefs kitchen while still feeling connected to the rest of the family watching the football game. It was really quiet and peaceful, and we couldn't recommend this place more. The

Beautiful home and well manicured area!
We had a really fun stay at the Farm. The drive up and the lot it’s on are absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The house seems relatively new and is well appointed. Everything was clean and spacious, and we really appreciated all the toys/games/activities for the kiddos. The only things we’d mention are that while there were many cooking accoutrements, we couldn’t find any aluminum foil/plastic wrap/ziploc, which would have been useful. We also couldn’t find the propane tank or the pizza peel which rendered the grill and pizza oven unusable to us, even though we planned several meals around them. We also would have loved to have use of kid life vests for the pond, or a note that we should bring our own. Otherwise, we'll definitely stay again! Thanks so much for having us.

Great house in beautiful, quiet location
Stayed at this house for a quick family getaway. Very peaceful, quiet and pretty location, with great views of the rolling terrain from the large windows and the large walk-out deck. This is a beautiful house that is very well appointed with games and activities, and is about a 30 minute drive to Galena. Would definitely recommend/stay here again.

Wonderful Stay
We would like to keep this place a secret as it was one of our best VRBO experiences. The home is beautiful, spacious, well equipped and overlooking a quiet/peaceful setting. Sarah (owner) was pleasant and prompt in responding to our questions. We'd stay here again and will recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful home in a very peaceful setting.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. There is a perfect mix of things to do (hiking, fishing, playing games) and time to just relax. The view is amazing! Galena is just 20 minutes down the road. Will definitely stay again!

Spectacular House and Property
We spent a long weekend at this glorious property with 2 other couples. The house is impeccably decorated, warm and inviting, with plenty of room to spread out. We stayed in and cooked all of our meals out of the exceptionally well-stocked and thoroughly labeled kitchen. Made good use out of the beautiful fireplace and comfortable furniture, all placed to make the most of the space and views. The property grounds are extremely inviting; we were blessed enough to have warm weather in February and were able to take advantage of the trails, fire pit and balcony overlooking the hills of Elizabeth. We’ve rented many houses over the years, this was by far my favorite and we will be back!

We got away from the Chicago suburbs for a long family birthday celebration.. The stay exceeded expectations. The house had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was loaded with items you would need. There were nice walking trails and a lovely pond. The place was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!
