The lake house worked out perfectly for our weekend girls trip. Plenty of room for everyone. The house was stocked with everything we needed and then some. The kayaks were also nice to be able to use, as well as the fire pit. We are already planning our next trip there. Location was perfect for Torch Lake and Traverse City outings.

Overall the house was a nice experience. We didn't really get to do much there due to being very busy with wedding things. (Basically we were just able to sleep there.) Lorena was great to work with.

Beautiful peaceful setting. House and amenities were great. Just a little too far from Traverse City for our particular group

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar, 2020
We are glad you found our home comfortable and the amenities to your liking. We are in a quiet residential area on the lake within 20 minutes of downtown Traverse City. Most tenants enjoy the combination of city amenities with the quiet of the lake and woods. I know you were involved with activities related to your son's wedding. It is too bad you found our location inconvenient.

Secluded lake front getaway

The house is cozy and comfortable for extended family. The kids were at the lake all day enjoying boats, fishing, swimming and floating and catching frogs.
