It feels like home!
We had a great two week rental at the farmhouse. The house has everything you need to be comfortable and cozy. It is so well appointed that it feels like your favorite relative has invited you to watch their home for them while they are away. If someone said "I wish I had...or I should have brought..." our response was "I'm sure whatever you need is already here" (and it always was.). We were able to have two people work remotely on the wi fi without any issues at all. It was the perfect location to work 1/2 days and play on the peninsula every afternoon. You won't regret renting this house! We're already sure we'll be coming back!

Great stay for two families
Our friends were up in Michigan from Florida and we wanted to show them Sleeping Bear. Gary and Caryn's place was an excellent, large house for both our families to stay. They had everything we needed including pack n play and crib for our youngest, games and puzzles around the house, plenty of books and information about the area, and great suggestions for the stay. They also had a fire pit and firewood for us to use. The farm is quite beautiful with many mature trees surrounding the farm house and the ability to walk the orchards. The location is within minutes of Northport, a short drive to Leland/Fishtown, and only about 40 minutes to Sleeping Bear. We had a great trip. Gary and Caryn were very easy to communicate with and responded extremely quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Getaway
We were so fortunate to stay at The Cherry Farmhouse! The location was great - close to downtown Northport and just a quick drive to the beaches, hiking trails, and fun towns like Leland and Sutton's Bay! The house was terrific - beautifully updated and wonderfully decorated. The basket of strawberries was a sweet surprise at check-in. Gary and Caryn were lovely and helpful and we enjoyed Gary's stories! Everything you could think of was at our disposal - dishes, spices, yard games, firewood...you name it! The information brochures and books were great - we went on several trails listed in the M-22 trail book. The front porch was the perfect spot to drink coffee in the morning and play card games in the afternoon. We loved the big trees that surrounded the property. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms spacious. We had a fun little dance party using the Amazon Echo. Our boys loved the hammock and we were able to have a bonfire on the last night, which was perfect! When we return to the Leelanau Peninsula we hope to stay at the Cherry Farmhouse again! It was a wonderful place to gather with family to relax and rewind!

Great Week on Leelanau Peninsula
We had a great week at the Cherry Farmhouse with our 2 boys (2 and 4yrs). The location was great for us to get to all the parks and small towns on the peninsula. There is also plenty to do at the house for adults and kids. The house is stocked with games (indoor and outdoor) for adults and kids - Gary and Caryn even left some toys especially for the boys which they loved. We also made use of the grill, fire pit, tree swing and hammock. Our first experience at a VRBO was a great one, thanks!

Beautiful, charming, wonderful.
It was better than advertised! They thought of everything, we didn’t even have to log into our own Netflix, Hulu, or prime account. The Roku was setup and ready to go. My daughter got married at the Northport bay retreat and we rented this property for additional guests. Everyone that stayed there loved it! We had caterers at the retreat for the wedding and they needed a can opener but the one at the retreat did not work, no worries we were able to borrow one from the house and avoid the potential crisis. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your home.

We had the best time at the farm house. The location was perfect, close to everything! We had a total of 8 adults on our trip and this rental had so much room. The front porch was one of our favorite spots to sit and relax with a cup of coffee, and the fire pit was a huge hit. Everything was extremely clean and tidy and we loved the decor. This house has EVERYTHING you would ever need on a vacation, which was a huge plus since we didn't have to purchase things we forgot to bring with us. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Northport area. We already spoke about coming back in a couple years. Absolutely fabulous!!!

Both picturesque and relaxing
We were traveling to Northport for a wedding at the end of June and booked this magnificent old farm house a year in advance. Every detail was thought of! As a lover of old houses, I was thrilled to stay in this farm house. Updates for comfort like gorgeous bathrooms was very nice but I also appreciated the banister staircase, trim in the house, and the knotty pine cabinetry. Gary and Caryn were welcoming hosts and very responsive with any questions. We also enjoyed downtown Northport! This little down is a lovely get away from the traffic of downtown Traverse City. We even took in the local farmers' market and Music in the Park later that evening on the waterfront. Everything was lovely!!! We will definitely come up again. Thank you!!

Awesome-Lovely-Beautiful Farm House
Gary and Caryn have created lovely accommodations on a beautiful piece of property, in a perfect location.....and truly there is no detail they left out. The house is well maintained, very very clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything one would need. Bedrooms with large closets and very comfortable beds. The kitchen fully stocked, the bathrooms fully stocked (toilet paper, kleenex, soap in showers and at sink, mouthwash & plenty of towels.) and a laundry room with soap and an ironing board. We so appreciated every inch of detail that Gary and Caryn provided and truly appreciated the welcome bottle of wine, flavored coffee beans and the fresh flowers that were there awaiting our arrival. We were up in Northport for the weekend for our nephew's wedding and our only regret was we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Gary and Caryn.

Wonderful Stay!
Our family had an absolute perfect stay at the farmhouse! Owners’ Gary and Caryn welcomed our family upon arrival. It was nice that they shared information about the house and area. To welcome us, they had a bottle of wine from a local winery for us to enjoy. They also provided a package of coffee from a local roaster. The kitchen has everything you would need!! This home was very clean and comfortable. It offered plenty of room for our family of 7. We enjoyed the bird feeders outside the kitchen window. Our 22 month old grandson liked watching the chipmunk who climbed his way to the feeder. The farmhouse was perfectly located to allow us to venture out and enjoy this beautiful area.
