Given that there were only two reviews for this cottage, I was a little leery of renting it for my family for a week. However, we had very short notice of our time off and I was convinced by the owner's response to an unfavorable review to give it a chance. We are so glad that we did! The house definitely has a "summer camp cottage" feel to it, but to us that was part of the charm. I don't want to vacation in a house just like I have at home. Just as the owner has stated, the kitchen has been stocked with all new supplies. All the pans, knives, dinnerware & utensils are nice and new. The surfaces are older, but easy to keep clean. The entire interior of the cottage was very clean. The bedrooms were comfortable and had nice linens. There are two full bathrooms, but one only has a tub. A nice big tub, but still no shower. There are plentiful towels in the kitchen and both baths. The wood floors throughout the cottage are very nice. The living/dining area is quite large with lots of windows. It made the cottage feel much larger. The beach area is very nice, and there's quite a lot of frontage. There are chairs down at the beach area for camp fires or relaxing in the sun. It's a bit a of a steep hill from the house to the shore, but not too bad. I suppose the only negative is that there is not a lot of comfortable seating in the house. The sofa in the living room is nice, but all the other chairs are small and uncomfortable, Not a problem if you have great weather, because who is inside on a lake in nice weather?? But we did have that random cold windy day that we felt very cooped up. The other thing was that this cottage did seem a bit pricey when comparing it to other cottages on Torch that seemed to have more to offer. Granted, we haven't stayed in those other places so we can't say for sure, but by comparing photos and amenities with prices, this one seems a bit high in regular season. Overall, this was a very nice cottage in a good location and we would definitely consider another stay here.
