Memory Lane Farm
Want a different sort of vacation? Come and join us on the family farm for a week or a weekend. We have animals to touch and interact with. Explore the barn, see the farm equipment of years ago, and modern equipment, take a walk through the vegetable garden or a stroll down the lane. Reconnect with the farm in some way. After the chores are finished and you are ready for some relaxation, entertainment or adventure, travel to the nearby Caseville beach, hike the many trails in Huron County, visit the Wind Farm in nearby Pigeon, or just hang out in the hammock at the farm.
This century old farm house has been modernized with electricity, heat and running water. It is fully equipped and ready for your stay. 4 Bedrooms, 1 full bath, kitchen, dining room, and living area.
Please note that this guest house is animal free. As a courtesy to future guests who might have allergies we ask that no pets come inside the house.

The house is situated on a 60 acre farm with an old dairy barn, chicken house converted to hay/straw storage and a farm shop. There is plenty of open space to stroll down the lane, or enjoy the country atmosphere without the noise and busyness of the city.
Young children love the farm animals. Here they have the opportunity to touch and interact with them! Learn how to feed and take care of our animals , milk a nanny goat, gather eggs and play with cuddly kittens.
Families or individuals are invited to learn more about one of Michigan's largest industry - Agriculture. Your vacation is not just a vacation but its an educational experience.
