Beautiful property, lots of space for our family. We were returning guests and appreciate the location and space. I would recommend bringing extra blankets and note the 9AM checkout is very early.

Cute cabin

We had a great time at the property and found it to be conveniently located to the Sandbar. Quiet and clean. Communication with property manager was really great.

Torch lake on a budget

Very clean, kitchen was well equipped. Bummed it didn't have an outside grill. Furnishings were in great shape and modern. The addition of access to the washer and dryer would be nice.

Clean and cozy

The house was super clean and cozy. The only downfall is two out of the 3 bedrooms do not have a television, so our friends were a little disappointed in that, but everything else was great. Nice short drive to dock the boat and head to Torch Lake sandbar. WE LOVED IT!

Clean house

The house was as stated. It’s the only Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in that did not give access to washer/dryer. So that’s one reason I won’t stay there again. The house has a lovely shaded deck that we took full advantage. The street that the house faces is quiet with friendly neighbors. However, the street right next to the house is a cut thru and very noisy starting at 7am, then picks up again in the afternoon. The next door dirt bikes and 4 wheelers during dinner were also not appreciated.
