A perfect place to stay.

The house is darling and the view beautiful. We couldn't ask for a better place to stay to enjoy the area.

It was a great stay.

It was a great week long vacation stay. We enjoyed the view of the cottage, fire pit, board games and landscaping. We also used it as a base to visit nearby cities.

Bachelorette Weekend Success!

This property was in an ideal location for Traverse City, Charlevoix, Elk Rapids, and Torch Lake. Was a perfect spot our getaway!

Quiet respite from busy lives.

The Rex beach house was pleasantly situated with views to the bay. The property was clean and adequately furnished.

Great Location

We loved our stay here! We were up for a golf weekend and had access to lots of courses. The property was super clean at check-in and Sara’s communication was great. We loved being able to walk through the orchard to the onsite cider and wine tasting room. I would highly recommend staying here!

Love the view

This is the perfect space for a family getaway. While there is no tv, we find it’s not missed as there’s so much to do outside of the house!

Relaxing and beautiful views

We had an awesome vacation. Our children didn’t want to leave. We spent time with grandparents close by and lots of time by Antrim creek swimming. We had such a relaxing vacation even with the children along. We will be back someday I’m sure.

Great family getaway

This house was perfect for our family to get away from the distractions and aliens time together. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 to come together for meals, games and just hanging out. By there was also plenty of room fire everyone to spread out and get some rest. Beautiful location. Being on the orchard and by the market was great - our kids walked over each morning to get fresh cider donuts. Plenty of nearby outdoor activities and awesome scenery.

Quiet with a view

This is the perfect place to totally unwind and recharge with out distraction. Just down the road is the Antrim Nature reserve with a nice beach and easy woodland walks. Or a bit further is a township park with picnic tables and benches beside the lake. But the best part is the view from the front of the house. We ate on the patio out front when we could but even from inside the view goes on uninterrupted.

It met all of our needs

We were in the Charlevoix area for our daughter's wedding and wanted a place that would sleep several people. The house was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Fruit trees bordered the property on two sides and there were beautiful views to the west from the "living" areas. Just down the road is a beautiful park on Lake Michigan. Sara was very responsive to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend it.

Super clean!

This house was awesome for our family of four! It was THE CLEANEST rental place I have ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot. Admittedly, my expectations for cleanliness in a rental are probably unrealistic, but when we walked in, we were amazed at how spotless it was. We immediately felt at ease. The house is approximately a 3 minute car ride to the Antrim Creek Nature Preserve. It's a great little beach with very few other people and a cool spot to collect Petoskey stones. Boyne City, Charlevoix and Petoskey are all very easy drives and neat places to visit. The ferry to Mackinac Island was only 1.5 hours away and a visit to the island (including biking around the whole island, lunch, checking out the sights, shopping) was a very easy and doable day trip from the house. The house is relaxing, quiet, and feels remote, but is within 15 minutes' drive of "civilization" as most of us suburbanites would identify with. 1 AC unit in second bedroom, but our kids did not use it. We kept windows open all evening and it was cool at night anyway. I loved having a washer and dryer and full-size everything in the kitchen. No wi-fi, but we had good cell reception which we used for driving directions, restaurant and grocery info. Full disclosure: our cell phone carrier is not top notch, and we experienced mostly poor or non-existent service on the Leelanau peninsula during our visit there immediately preceding our stay here. We used the fire pit once and the kids enjoyed the huge yard. Sara was very easy to deal with and unless you go to the orchard store and ask for her, you'll likely not even see her. Getting the key was a breeze as it is in a lock box on the property...easy in and easy out. Thanks Sara for sharing your place with us! We loved it! Too bad it's a 12 hour drive away from us :(

Just right...

The home in the orchards worked perfectly as our home base for a wedding at Castle Farms. The views of the orchard and Lake Michigan were fantastic. The home was clean and had everything we needed.

Great stay, great location!

This is our second visit to this beautiful home. Perfect location to get to Traverse City, Torch Lake, Charlevoix, and Mackinaw. Gorgeous setting on the farm. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets right on the farm. Short walk to the bakery with the most delicious fruits, pies, doughnuts, and brownies. We will definitely be staying again!

. Fit our needs perfectly.

We were in the area for a wedding. We had 7 adults and 3 cars . The house was clean and perfect for our gathering. We even had other family members stop by for dinner. The house and driveway is spacious enough to allow this. We walked over to the farm market and tasting area- great selection and fun. We even met the owner ! We would like to return again.

Location was perfect but everything else was in bad shape

Property location is good but everything else in bad shape. It's an old property and not well maintained. Curtains are cheap and the beds make noise and poor quality and nobody in the family had a good sleep. Kitchen utensils are in bad shape and I didn't used most of them.

Lowkey Bachelorette Weekend

This property let us have an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING weekend for my friends Bachelorette Weekend. Perfect house for the 4 of us. Off the beaten path but still close enough to everything for us to be able to explore. The views from the front porch and the orchard are amazing!! Sara is amazing!!! Definitely recommend checking out the tasting room and market while staying at the house. We are all planning our next stay here with each other for another girls trip and with our own families.

Perfect Fit: We need a pleasant place to stay close to Torch Lake and my brother's cottage.

How could we ask for more? Pleasant environment, beautiful view, comfy with all the creature comforts. Just a great place to spend some of our Michigan vacation time.

Great cottage with a fantastic location and speculator view

We stayed four nights from June 5 to June 9. It was a great vacation stay with lots of sweet memories! My kids loved pretty much everything with the cottage. Even the fact of sharing a room with two beds facing each other excited them from the very beginning. They loved playing at the acre big wavy front yard, running up and down or having a water gun fight. I enjoyed sitting under the creeping willow tree, watching them play with a breeze. They loved The fire pit and the yummy BBQ skewers dad made over the fire. They even learned to make a perfectly browned mash mellow for the s’mores by themselves. When they are inside, they made good use of the many board games the host kindly stocked in the closet. Lots of laughters from playing the games filled the room while I was cooking or cleaning the dishes. We often took a walk to the nearby orchard, enjoying the gorgeous Michigan sunset. Even in the room from the windows or sitting on the front porch, goregeous views would roll out in in front of your eyes. We had a great cottage life in and by the house. But We also use it as base to visite nearby towns and beaches. Very convenient location for that purpose as well. We got lots of sweet memories from this vacation stay at the cottage. Thank you Sara for sharing this great property!

Charming, spacious, clean home

We really enjoyed our stay. The charming house was neat and clean, had everything we needed, and was comfortable. It was spacious enough for 5 adults, 2 kids, and a baby. The location was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed walking through the apple orchard and the beautiful view of the lake. The firepit was enjoyable on the crisp summer nights. Highly recommend!
