First the good:
The property is gorgeous. We enjoyed walking around and seeing all the plants and the grape arbor. The house itself is very nice, especially the common areas. The kitchen is wonderful and the table and living areas are perfect for a larger family stay. The location is amazing to be equidistant and take day trips to many locations in northwest Michigan. We did a day at torch lake, a day in charlevoix, a day in boyne city and a day in gaylord....all are within about a 30 min drive. The owners of the house are nice and understanding and fairly responsive.
Things to note with this listing. Its not truly a 5 bedroom. The fifth bedroom that is listed as connected to the king bedroom, its really just the very large closet that they put some beds in. There are lights in it, but no electrical plugs and no air circulation. Theres also no other door than to go through the big bedroom to get out and the ceilings are slanted so its not really fit for any adults to stay in. This really messed up our plans for bed assignments with our large family so people should be aware of this a head of time.
The bedroom part of the house must be the original part of the farm house. Its very quiant and well restored, but as with old houses, its VERY creaky. If you have any light sleepers in your party, this may be a problem. Just something to be aware of when booking.
