Heart's Rest is the prime choice for a family getaway. It provides a great atmosphere for you and your family to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We run a retreat center of family vacation rentals - there are 4 other rentals, but you will find with 120 acres, there is plenty of space for everyone! We host a variety of different rentals - to get a better idea of our property, check out cedarbendfarm.com!

The space
The bedrooms are connected with a sliding door, so there is privacy for both sides, but they're all on the same floor. There is a window air conditioner and box fans available as well!

You will have access to our property which features a volleyball court, pavilion (indoor basketball), a playground complete with an ark, 18 hole frisbee golf, and other amenities! In the winter we have snowshoes, cross-country skis, sleds, and tubes available free of charge. There are several hills on the farm that are prime for sledding.

Other things to note
Our window AC unit is for the upstairs. There are also some box fans available, but please note this is NOT central AC.

My work: Cedar Bend Farm
Lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan
I love traveling and pop culture! My favorite location to date has been the UK and Ireland, but Northern Michigan is my home! Catch me exploring nature or watching every movie known to humanity. Secretly hoping that Netflix will hire me to review all of their Originals. I manage our Airbnb listing and our other rentals with my parents - this is our first to list on Airbnb. We are hoping to eventually post all of them! We try not to interfere with our guests stay, unless you absolutely need us or would like a tour of the farm!
