Great house for our golfing trip. Close to Torch Lake as well as Lake Michigan and close to a number of very good golf courses. Would love to come back someday!

Thanks for the great review Colin, you're welcome back anytime!
We were in the area for a family reunion and stayed with multiple families at Boulder Ridge. It’s a great place to relax and gather with many locations on the property to congregate or to find a quiet spot alone. The kitchen has everything you need, the beds are comfortable, there are helpful toiletries in the bathrooms and the house was spotless. Every aspect exceeded expectations and made it easy to creat happy memories.
Our family had so much fun at Boulder Ridge! The ages of our group ranged from 2 - 99 years old! And there was something fun for everyone! The teenagers had fun playing basketball. We all enjoyed days on Torch Lake. The house was clean, well stocked and big enough to accommodate our multi family vacation. The host was easy to communicate with and gave us great recommendations for the area. We loved our stay!

Thank you for such a great review! So happy you had a wonderful stay :) Hope to host you again someday.
The property was beautiful! Several places to explore on property. The home was gorgeous inside and out. We had plenty of room for 4 adults and 6 children(ages 7-10mos.) Grill and Blackstone available, plenty of room for outside entertaining, and soo close to Torch Lake and several other lakes. Lots of farm/ fruit stands to visit while you're there too. Such a beautiful home and area.

Thank you for the kind review Sierra, was so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Sounds like you packed a whole lot of fun into your time at Boulder Ridge. Hope to host you again!
Our family enjoyed our stay. We all, especially our grandkids, enjoyed their time on the sand dunes, paddle boating on the lake and exploring the trails. All of these areas were on the property. The home was amazingly well stocked with supplies. Very clean! We would highly recommend this property.
Torch Lake is beautiful and just down the road! We rented a pontoon and had fun on the sand bar.

So happy you enjoyed your stay Becky and thank you for the lovely review! I hope you and your family are able to come back again!
This home was very clean and had so much to do right on the property. From the trails, the pond, the fire pit and the barn packed with a hoop, pickle ball, scooters, frisbees, kayaks and a flat top grill. Everyone from the kids to the adults had a good time. It’s super close to a torch lake public access. Only difficult part is checkout is 10am so getting everyone and everything up and out was a task. Other than that this is a home that we will definitely stay in again.
This beautiful home was the perfect home away from home for my family. Torch is an annual trip for us but this time we stayed off the lake and this location couldn’t have been more perfect. There are a few boat launches to choose from, so very convenient for boat people!
As for the home itself, we didn’t want to leave. Beautifully decorated which gave it a warm & cozy feel. All you need to do is pack your clothes! Every amenity that you would need was available! The indoor basketball barn was used almost every night with the kiddos! Games of “pig & horse” lasted until 1:00 am :)
Amanda was absolutely amazing! She is definitely doing what she is meant to be doing….very kind and readily available if there are any questions.
There is sooooo much to do at Boulder Ridge…our time there was not enough but we will back :)

Kelli, thank you so much for this review! YOU are why we do what we do :) So happy Boulder Ridge could play a small party in creating happy memories for your family. I will always remember the giant "thank you" card your crew left...just the best renters anyone could ask for!
