We had a great stay, everything was accurate on the listing. We used the hot tub almost every night, which was a great perk, and made use of the kayaks and canoe too. Overall everything was perfect for our family of 4 and the kitchen was stocked nicely too- we cooked dinner in almost every night

Could be a cleaner, fridge was gross, everything was pretty dusty, one of the toilets was not cleaned all the way upon arrival. Some items could be updated. Hot tub is nice and outside area has a beautiful view.

Everything went very smoothly with check-in and check out, and we really enjoyed our stay! Being right on the lake was wonderful and we were able to use the kayaks and canoes. While the cottage doesn’t have AC, once you open the windows and turn on some fans it was completely fine! I would definitely choose to come here again.

This stay provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We found the fire pit ready to light, and had asked for the hot tub to be ready for us on arrival. All was well prepared. Kitchen was well stocked. The property was questionable and quiet. Many extras provided- grill, canoe, kayaks. We will be back to this one!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house! It was just right four our family of four plus a grandparent. The location is excellent with views of the lake front the house. The path down to the lake is well maintained, and the dock was beautiful. Kayaks and canoe were a big plus - we loved exploring the lake and the rivers! The house had everything we needed for our week stay. It was an easy drive to Torch Lake and Lake Michigan. We would recommend staying here and enjoying everything this part of Michigan has to offer.

The rental was exactly what was described in their description. We live on a lake, but Benway is a world away from what we experience at home. The lake is peaceful and beautiful with very little traffic. We loved our time so much that we booked a week next year before we even left.
