Very clean, plenty of space, well maintained older farmhouse. 3 min walk to torch lake and clam lake, 11 minute drive to towns of Bellaire and central lake. Large yard with fire pit and tree swing, great for the kids to play in. Kitchen has everything you need and there is a grill and a huge wrap around porch. You can tell the owners take pride in this home and it is a great rental option for multiple families. Very impressed with this house and plan to rent it again in the future. The only thing we didn’t realize was that there is no tub for the babies, but the kitchen sink is huge and that worked just fine. 5 stars!!!!!

So perfect in every way! The property is private, quaint, and relaxing. We will be coming back!

My family had a wonderful time. The house was very unique and was ckean and comfortable. We were close to Mackinac Island, Traverse City and rented a pontoon. Highly recommend for all age groups.

Great location for a winter trip. Lots of space in the house for games and gathering. The kitchen is well set up and provisioned to take care of a good sized group. Interent/tv connection isn't strong, but this is a great place for an up north retreat.

My 92 year old Father-in-law said "i feel like I'm back at my grandmothers home" He didn't want to leave!

I'm not satisfied about this rent. The patio was very dirty at the arrival and I had to clean it by myself. There was no natural gas for the BBQ outside, both gas tank were empty. The water tasted very bad (iron taste) and it was uncomfortable to take showers or brush your teeth. Hot water stopped working at the beginning of day 2. 8 people including two kids without hot water for one third of the vacation. Tried to call Paradise Properties USA in charge for the rent but nobody answered my calls. A lot of dirt in the back of the house probably there since months/years? Seems that how is in charge of the cleaning of this property doesn't care of it. I'm wondering if Paradise Properties USA did recently a visit to the place to see the overall status of it. I expected lot more. This house requires lots of maintenance.

Everything was great. Perfect location for the lake and plenty of space for yard games. Thank you!

Our brother-in-laws and their family stayed here from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida. They had a fantastic time, learning about the rich history of the area and this historic home. The house has been updated with the latest necessities but has still retained its unique historical value. The wrap around porch was the favorite hangout for all.

Excellent location. Close to water and towns. Great property we had kids who ran out their energy for days! Lots of room for bag toss, badminton, kiddie pool. Great fire pit. Decor so cute. Lots of space. Sad to leave!

Great experience. Great location for anything you want to do and see in the torch lake/Traverse City area. The property was perfect. We didn’t want to leave!

Great location within walking distance to the marina! Tons of space for our extended family. The outdoor swings were also very popular.

Our family really enjoyed the time we were able to spend letting the kids use the swing and run around the huge yard!

This is a funky renovated farmhouse with a ton of history. Conveniently close to the marina for boat rental and close to Alden and Bellaire. Great option if not staying on the water. Not far from traverse city or Charlevoix for a day trip.

A+ across the board; everything was as stated in the listing. we are planning on a return!

Enjoyed our experience with the exception of one family member getting locked in the bathroom due to older locks. Sue responded quickly to get maintenance help. Sue is a pleasure to work with.

We had close friends (6 couples) on a weekend getaway. We played yard games and had nightly campfires. The farmhouse is set on 5 acres so there was plenty of room outside and the house had a unique charm. Everything was clean and fully stocked. The kitchen table was big enough for 12 people to eat dinner and play cards. Torch Lake and Clam Lake are nearby. We enjoyed Dockside bar and grill for dinner and it was fun to watch the boats pass by on the river. Also close to Turtle Creek casino. A great time by all!

A wonderful place to unwind, yet be close to everything! The property was amazing! Very, very relaxing! Much needed!

Very professional. Would rent from this company again

Overall, everything was really good. We liked the open are and the space for the children to run around in. We were visited every day by some deer.

My family of 12 people stayed for 3 nights and the home looked just like the pictures and was very spacious. It was very clean and everything was provided that we could need. We loved how the kitchen was modern and big but the rest of the home stays true to a historical farmhouse. The location is just a short walk to Torch Lake and the marina and restaurant. It was a perfect quiet location just off the lake.

This property was great. There were 9 of us staying here. The house is massive and we never felt like we were on top of each other. We utilized the porch and fire pit quite often. It was nice and cool giving us opportunity to be outside and enjoy the location.

We chose this property for our annual family trip. We had three families staying here for a week enjoying the beautiful Torch Lake area. The property is a beautifully restored farm house with plenty of room for 12 guests to sleep, eat, and hang out. The large kitchen and dining area was great for cooking group dinners. The wrap around front porch was perfect for sitting and catching up. The kids loved making s’mores in the fire pit and using the tree swing. We had a doe and two fawns visit every morning and we even had a turkey vulture land on the roof one afternoon. This house was perfect for our group and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful base for your lake vacation.

We enjoyed our stay close to our boat docked at Dewitt Marine it was a wonderful week lots of room for kids to explore and parents to enjoy each other with lots of seating and space for everyone.

Great people to work with especially during the quarantine time—

My kids and I loved this property. There was everything we needed to have a great weekend. Can;t wait to stay here again

We loved the bedroom for children, the large dining table so we could all be around the table. Our grandchildren loved the tree swing! We sat around the fire every night. We enjoyed the quietness of the secluded property. Plenty of yard for the kids to run & play. Wonderful porch was a plus also. Walking distance to Torch Lake and Clam Lake to enjoy the beautiful view! Pontoon rentals right there. Loved everything about this house and property.

A roomy historical house for parents, adult kids and grandkids. The grandkids enjoyed the large outdoor yard with swing, large porch, bonfires and playroom upstairs. House well equipped for all your needs. Was close to marina and cute towns of Alden and Bellaire.

This house was amazing for our family of friends to vacation at. Lots of amenities and close to the lake access and a marina. We walked to butches and dockside (although there were no sidewalks). We loved the way the rooms were decorated and it really felt like we were living in a home together vs just staying somewhere.

Thank you for the respite and beauty of this historical stay.

We stayed here with 2 other families, 6 kids under 6, and we had a blast! We puzzled, made bonfires, went on hikes, sledding and ventured into Traverse City. Luckily we got about 8 inches of snow during our stay so it made it fun to play in the yard. Everything was provided and we really appreciated the towels, dishes, soap etc. This cute farm house felt like a home away from home!

My husband and I had 10 of our friends join us for boating on torch lake for a long weekend. This house was well equipped, especially the kitchen! We would definitely do it again!

Celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our children & grandchildren. Enjoyed our day on Torch Lake! We shopped at the shops in Alden which were very nice. Also went to Bellaire to eat and enjoyed Shorts Brewery. There were nice shops there as well. All in all it was a very enjoyable time. Regarding the house, the toaster oven wasn’t working. Looks like an element may need replacing. Just a suggestion...it would be nice if you asked guests to fill & run the dishwasher before they depart....getting the dishes done and having to be out by 9;00 makes it difficult to have breakfast and get the dishes done. We’ve stayed at many rental properties and that has been what we’ve always done. For the most part, everything was perfect! Definitely would recommend to friends & family!
