Unique and relaxing stay

Our family enjoyed staying at this home with the apple orchard - and secret path through the orchard to the bakery - complete with complimentary fresh-baked scones. We were fortunate to be able to take advantage of the new Friday night dinner offering there while enjoying the views from cozy Adirondack chairs. Great communication before and during our stay, with owners going above and beyond to make sure we had all we needed for our final night s’mores fun.

Beautiful and quiet. Perfectly situated right in the middle to drive the area around Torch Lake and easily go up North along the coast of Lake Michigan. Did not have a TV, but it doesn’t matter much if you are tired after spending all day at the beach and/or hiking.

Orchard Tranquility

The owners were very responsive when I emailed about being there a day later than expected. There is no Wi-Fi which I'm not sure if the description had anything about that. We got a gift card for 2 delicious scones from their farm market that is walkable from the house. Overall was good.

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.

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.

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.

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!
