Adult family time
Our family loved this property! It was so comfortable and clean with a large outdoor space. It had a nice kitchen for food prep. The firepit outside was so fun. Lots of room for games inside and out. We loved that it was close to all the sights and yet very private. I would definitely stay here again.

Torch lake stay
Friends and I did a torch lake getaway with this house and loved it. Great time around the fire pit, and cooked steaks on the grill. It was fantastic

Perfect Get Away with Friends
The pictures don't even compare to how great this farmhouse is. You could spend your whole time here out in the yard, on the porch, in the kitchen.. So many great open spaces. It is walking distance to The Dockside and the little public access beach. We have the best time! Working with Stephanie and Paradise Properties was a breeze and she was very welcoming. Cant wait to come back here soon!

Love this historic farm house!
We stayed here with 2 other families, 6 kids under 6, and we had a blast! We puzzled, made bonfires, went on hikes, sledding and ventured into Traverse City. Luckily we got about 8 inches of snow during our stay so it made it fun to play in the yard.
Everything was provided and we really appreciated the towels, dishes, soap etc. This cute farm house felt like a home away from home!

Family vacation
We are a family with 7 adults. We were all very comfortable in the space. The front porch was a great place to hang out. The huge yard worked out wonderfully for yard games. We all fit with room to spare around the dining table. Loved the little extra touches of soaps, foil, spices, extra tooth brushes. Had everything we needed

Torch Lake weekend getaway with family & friends
Beautiful house & property. Plenty of room for cars & trailers. We had five couples & two boats with more than ample parking. The house had more than plenty of room for ten people & the wrap around porch was great for sitting when the rain came.

Intimate and Charming
This property is "pure Michigan." Having never traveled to the state, we quickly understood how fortunate we were to have our request accepted. Everything is well-maintained, thoughtfully decorated, and truly accommodates the number of guests permitted. Its seclusion provides all of the privacy your group would expect from an estate-styled stay. There are a myriad of unique gathering spots you and your group can create memories, closely or collectively. The outdoor spaces are serene, but you can always seek a respite from the weather in the home's grand, inviting rooms. Alden is only a few minutes away. The town is small and quaint, yet it is abundant with leisurely activities and necessaries.

Wonderful
Very clean, plenty of space, well maintained older farmhouse. 3 min walk to torch lake and clam lake, 11 minute drive to towns of Bellaire and central lake. Large yard with fire pit and tree swing, great for the kids to play in. Kitchen has everything you need and there is a grill and a huge wrap around porch. You can tell the owners take pride in this home and it is a great rental option for multiple families. Very impressed with this house and plan to rent it again in the future. The only thing we didn’t realize was that there is no tub for the babies, but the kitchen sink is huge and that worked just fine. 5 stars!!!!!

Vintage farmhouse
My family had a wonderful time. The house was very unique and was ckean and comfortable. We were close to Mackinac Island, Traverse City and rented a pontoon. Highly recommend for all age groups.

Great Up North Vacation Spot
Great location for a winter trip. Lots of space in the house for games and gathering. The kitchen is well set up and provisioned to take care of a good sized group. Interent/tv connection isn't strong, but this is a great place for an up north retreat.

Farmhouse needs some works and better cleaning service
I'm not satisfied about this rent.
The patio was very dirty at the arrival and I had to clean it by myself.
There was no natural gas for the BBQ outside, both gas tank were empty.
The water tasted very bad (iron taste) and it was uncomfortable to take showers or brush your teeth.
Hot water stopped working at the beginning of day 2. 8 people including two kids without hot water for one third of the vacation. Tried to call Paradise Properties USA in charge for the rent but nobody answered my calls.
A lot of dirt in the back of the house probably there since months/years? Seems that how is in charge of the cleaning of this property doesn't care of it. I'm wondering if Paradise Properties USA did recently a visit to the place to see the overall status of it.
I expected lot more. This house requires lots of maintenance.

Summer Weekend
Our brother-in-laws and their family stayed here from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida. They had a fantastic time, learning about the rich history of the area and this historic home. The house has been updated with the latest necessities but has still retained its unique historical value. The wrap around porch was the favorite hangout for all.

Torch lake fun
This is a funky renovated farmhouse with a ton of history. Conveniently close to the marina for boat rental and close to Alden and Bellaire. Great option if not staying on the water. Not far from traverse city or Charlevoix for a day trip.

Loved the house. Perfect for our large family.
Enjoyed our experience with the exception of one family member getting locked in the bathroom due to older locks. Sue responded quickly to get maintenance help. Sue is a pleasure to work with.
