Loved The Farmhouse

All the comforts of home at this charming Farmhouse. Loved the kitchen island and spending time with family here. Slept well in the comfortable bed on the main floor. Also appreciated having three bathrooms (2 full, 1 half)! Conveniently located only 1 mile from Alden.

Country Getaway

We absolutely loved this farmhouse for our base of operations for our week in Traverse City and the surrounding areas. Lovely trails groomed into the property, and many chances to view the local wildlife. Located super close to Torch Lake and all the exciting activities there. Short drive to Traverse City and surrounding areas to see the wonderful sights Michigan has to offer. The property was clean, beautifully renovated and quiet. We stayed cool and comfortable with all the lovely windows and fans even without AC. Host was very easy to contact and super responsive. A+ vacation rental, would highly recommend!

I felt unwelcome

I felt unwelcome on check-in. The hosts were accusatory and somewhat off-putting in their communications. They were suspicious of the clearly fictitious name VRBO added from Google, I didn't even add this name as it was scraped from Google. That's fine, I emailed them late at night when I landed but I'm no scammer. They demanded a list of names of people who will be staying and made us meet them to checkin even though the door had a code and no key is necessary. I had to plan my family reunion around meeting them and they would not accept a 2 hour window. I understand northern Michigan is different from city life but I've never had to give a list of names like I'm checking into prison. They added unnecessary stress to my family reunion at the end of the day. I've used the other big bnb website and VRBO for years, never any issue or unwelcoming hosts before this. The house is fine, it's a decent Northern Michigan property that met my expectations. It's not bad. They maintained the property well and the house was cozy and decorated well. I didn't spend much time there but the beds were fine. Overall the hosts would get a 2 out of 5 stars. The property would get 5 stars for meeting my expectations.

Lovely

Property was lovely and clean. The house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers to spread out and be comfortable. No air conditioning, but definitely did not need it. The owners obviously care about their property and take great care of the house.

About the host

Hosted by Krista Tremonti

We are originally from southern Michigan. We moved to Alden in 1998 to start our own businesses and raise our 3 children in this charming, small town up north where we spent our own childhood vacations. We love this area and how it has shaped our family. We live on 5 acres nearby the Farm House. The Farm House has been a very heart felt renovation project for us that we hope to own, share with our family & rent to new found friends for generations to come! Phil & Krista

Why they chose this property

Super clean. Countless amenities.

What makes this property unique

Although completely renovated, we think you will love the charm that still resides in our Farm House. We worked hard to keep the special details you would expect from an early 1900's home. Notice the solid wood counter tops we constructed from the original ceiling joists we removed in order to create flat ceilings in the house. A large piece of the past preserved and certainly celebrated!
