If you are looking for a quaint quiet and cozy place out of the way all your own BUT so close to everything around then this is it. The dock and the lake is so beautiful. My boys loved walking on the sandbar in it and using the kayak! The cottage is surrounded by woods so it’s private. Now it is an older cottage, but it is so clean and kept up. It held our family of 4 perfectly. The top bunk was unusable for us as it’s too close to the ceiling, but if you had a small child it would be fine. However, the pull out couch was great. Beds were comfy, no bugs. Pleasant stay here. Lastly, Todd the host has amazing communication!! We lost power due to storms one night and he even messaged back and that was around 3 am! O and the games made for great family time! All in all we made great memories here!

Nice place. Clean cabin. Cozy. Secluded despite neighbors. Very quiet. Wish the view of the river was better, lots of grown up vegetation. We were on Torch Lake most of the time, so the property worked well overall for what we needed.
