The place was great for a weekend getaway with friends. Close to boat rental and golf! Also, it was nice to be on the river. Another great feature is there is ample parking for a larger group with different arrival times. Hosts were great as well!

The cottage was great! Very spacious, clean and pet friendly. The location was perfect as well right on Torch River. We enjoyed paddling around in the kayaks and swimming in the river. It was also just a short drive from the boat launch where our pontoon rental was delivered. Alden was just a short drive as well with cute shops and delicious food at Alden Bar! The cottage was perfect for our quick getaway.

This place was wonderful! It was clean and well appointed with lots of room! That's the inside, the outside of the home was incredible! Felt private, the river is gorgeous and it was no nice that there were no houses directly across the river. I could have sat on the dock or on the swing for a week straight doing nothing lol.
