Nice Spot

Very clean, spacious for the size, and nicely decorated. Our family had a great time here. It’s a little ways from the lake but access points are close and accessible with a little pre-planning.

Great getaway!

Enjoyed our stay here in a clean, well-appointed, nicely furnished home. We liked that it was within walking distance to the public access to Torch Lake. We also appreciated the bottled waters, granola bars, s’mores and the bottle of wine! These were all an added bonus to a very comfortable experience! Look forward to a return visit!

Clean and great location

We came to the area to boat and was very happy with the location of the house. The house itself was great!! The driveway was wide so easy to park our boat. The backyard was nice, we had a fire pit to enjoy each night. The extras like snacks, drinks, and coffee station was a nice touch!! The beds were very comfortable and 2 bathrooms were perfect for 2 couples. We will definitely be back!

Awesome stay near Torch Lake!

From the moment we arrived, i was in love with this place! Very clean and easy to find. Honestly, felt so much more roomy than pictures showed! The backyard firepit are is all fenced in and private. The decor was homey, chic and cozy...just loved it! 3 bedrooms 2 baths...couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay! I hope to come back again! The welcome basket and coffee station were great touches! Thank you for sharing your place! Outstanding!

Loving This Area of Michigan🤗

We Loved Their Home! It Was So Cute, Cozy, Comfortable, & Clean! The Decor Was Amazing & Exceptionally Organized & The Surrounding Area Was So Beautiful! I Can't Say Enough About How Much We Enjoyed Our Stay & How Attentive The Hosts Were (Tori & Aarron) With Responding & Relaying Any & All Information About Their Rental! They Even Left Us A Nice Basket Of "Goodies" For Us To Enjoy Which Was An Unexpected Surprise & So Nice After The Holiday Road Trip🤗🥰 Thanks Again For Our Wonderful Stay & We Definitely Can't Wait To Come Back!
