Our stay was nice! We took morning walks along the water, close access to the boat ramp and our fav Dockside! We enjoyed nightly bonfires and appreciated the stock of wood to use. The games and puzzles were also so nice to use! Only feedback is the basement bed did not have a top sheet, just fitted sheet and duvet cover and the shower door was a little wobbly, not sure if it was off the track or needed to be reset but wanted to flag! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and were able to take morning walks along the water, spend evenings around the bonfire, and take advantage of the games, puzzles, and firewood. It sounds like you made some wonderful memories—and we love that you enjoyed being so close to Dockside and the boat ramp! We also appreciate you letting us know about the missing top sheet and the wobbly shower door. We've shared your feedback with our housekeeping and maintenance teams so both items can be taken care of promptly. Thank you again for staying with us. We'd love to welcome you back on your next Northern Michigan getaway!

Great location and a lovely cottage. Lots of games and puzzles to keep us busy on a rainy afternoon. This was a great house that was extremely dog friendly. It is hard to find such a nice option that is both dog-friendly and beautifully appointed. We would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. My family really enjoyed ourselves and it was very dog friendly. Sue was quick to respond to any questions and address any needs. I only scored 4 on cleanliness because the front porch and back patio could use a scrubbing, and maybe some flowers to add some color. I would have liked to have a better view of Clam Lake so that is why I only gave it 4 stars for location. But access to Dockside and pontoon rentals was super convenient. And a quick drive to access Torch Lake swimming. I would also recommend some new bed sheets that are not jersey knit. They were a little warm for sleeping in for July. Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this property.
