Great House for my family of 6. We came up to see the fall colors, visit some wineries in Sutton’s Bay and hike Sleeping Bear Dunes. The Barnhouse was in a great location and had everything we needed for a fantastic long weekend! Eric was a great host and check in/out was easy!

My husband and I rented the Barnhouse for two weeks in July. The house is spacious, easily accommodated us plus our son and daughter in law who joined us for a week, plus guests who came to visit for several days, plus a couple of sleepovers with grandkids. The amenities included a fire pit, four kayaks, river frontage and a dock plus Adirondack chairs overlooking the river. There is a large outdoor dining table and umbrella with 10 wicker type chairs. We routinely sat 12 people for cookouts and gatherings. The inside of the Barnhouse has been beautifully constructed with stunning views that include soaring windows and oversize doors to coordinate. The Barnhouse inside amenities are excellent, it is well stocked and comfortable - you will enjoy your stay!

This home was lovely, in an amazing location! Great for families with kids 3 and up and stocked with everything you need to enjoy the woods and the water. Very clean and well appointed. Owners were very responsive. Walk to the beach...it's rocky so bring watershoes, but the water and the views are incredible! Be sure to visit the beach at North Bar Lake and Good Harbor Bay! We also enjoyed the Platte River Beach about 35 min away. Great for hunting fossils and Petoskey stones!Lots of stairs in the house, so if travelling with a toddler, keep that in mind. There was a baby gate provided, but we could have used 2. The rooms are a little small to fit a playpen, but you can do it. Also there is no bathtub. We had an 18 month old, and still had a great stay, but we had to adjust a little, and if you're prepared, it's still great!A final note, the lack of A/C isn't really an issue, except on really hot days when the upstairs bedroom can get toasty. The owners provide plenty of fans. We found it helpful to close all the windows and blinds during the day when you're out and about on the hot days and then open the windows at night when it's cool.
