The space
This is a perfect spot for 2 non-smoking adults(21 and over) to explore the Traverse City area then come home to relax in a peaceful country setting. Sorry, additional visitors are not allowed on the property. Garfield Township B&B permit PZ 2019 15five. (Due to liability issues with our goats, we do not allow children of any age to stay) There is a deck with a gas BBQ(available May-October) to enjoy the outdoors while dining. Enjoy a quite and peaceful sleep. In the winter months you need an all wheel or 4 wheel drive car to access our property.

We find that our guests leave the space as they found it so we do not charge a cleaning fee.

Large, private, non-smoking, non vaping space. Access requires going up one flight of stairs. King size bed, living room area, kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, Keurig, bathroom with shower, large deck (200 square feet) with gas BBQ(available May-October), black out shades, WiFi, great views, air conditioning.

Expect peace and quiet during your stay. Feed George the goat, have a romantic dinner in the 125 year old barn, or walk thru the fields. Downtown Traverse City is only 6 miles away and takes less than 15 minutes to get to by car.
The homes in the area are on one or more acres. Our gentleman farm is on 10 acres that you are free to explore. Pick seasonal fruits and vegetables for your dinner or a picnic lunch from our organic garden. Check out the small vineyard or hops growing by the barn. Explore the perennial flower garden.

Guests have access to the barn, vegetable garden, and the entire yard. A fire pit with unlimited firewood is also available for your enjoyment. In the winter we provide snowshoes and sleds.

After growing up in a big city, we really enjoy the peaceful setting that is so close to town.
We are located 6.75 miles from the finish line for the VASA cross country ski race and the ICEMAN Commeth bike race. For downhill skiing we are 30 miles from Crystal Mountain. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is also about 36 miles away.

There is not any convenient public transportation near our home. Uber and Lyft started service in 2017 but currently there are not many drivers.

Other things to note
COVID 19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS
We have been hosting guests on our farm for over 8 years and the one thing we pride ourselves in is the cleanliness of our guest space. We also do all the cleaning ourselves and do not charge a cleaning fee.

OTHER INFORMATION
During the snowy months, you will need a car with all wheel drive with snow/all weather tires or 4 wheel drive to navigate the roads in the area and the small hill leading up to our driveway. Also, the gas BBQ is only available May-October.

Born in the 50s
My work: Retired firefighter
My wife grew up in Traverse City and moved to California to attend college. We met in college and after getting married and having 2 children, we decided to move to Traverse City in 1994 to raise our children in a beautiful area close to my wife's family. We have enjoyed living on our small farm for 20 years. We both enjoy traveling and meeting many interesting people while we travel. We also have worked in the hospitality industry since 1980. Our experience will hopefully enhance your stay in Traverse City.
