Cute Little Cabin Vibe
There were four adults who stayed Thursday-Sunday. We arrived a few hours early and wanted to check in to change and get out on Torch lake. I contacted the host and they let us come early!! Super appreciated that! The house was very clean. They left a little snack box and a folder with menus for restaurants near by. The location was not walking distance to anything, but a short easy drive. Also close to small towns, which we loved! We all said we would go back!

Perfect Getaway
The place was very clean and cozy. The host/hostess were super great with communication! They went the extra mile and left us a snack basket as well as provided firewood. Would definitely recommend them and this place! Super close to the sand bar as well!

Cleanest property we have ever visited!
Immaculate! The owners supplied us with waters, coffee, snacks and an adorable home! We have NO complaints about our stay only a few suggestions. A front porch might be a nice addition to provide a cooler outdoor spot when the evening sun is beaming on the back patio area. Although the living room furniture is perfect esthetically, it was not especially comfy, but we didn't spend tons of time in the living room with beautiful Torch Lake so close!

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!

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!

Fantastic clean place!
This place was perfect for our late June trip. My wife and I with our 4 kids stayed from June 26-July 1st, 2022. The house is very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. We wanted to stay on Torch while being close to Mackinac Island which was only 90 min away. It is just a couple min to beautiful Torch Lake with many options to rent a boat or watercraft and places to eat. The beds are very comfortable, even the pull out couch was comfy! There are lots of blankets and everything you'd need to stay a week or more. The smores, wine and popcorn were a wonderful touch especially after a long drive. The owners were very responsive although we did not need anything while staying. We would definitely stay again.
