Nice Place Within Walking Distance of Torch Lake
Our stay was good. The property had great proximity to the lake and had plenty of parking space for boats & RV's. Nice fire-pit outside as well. Getting in and out of the driveway can be quite daring, as it is on the apex of the curve. Good for two couples and some kids to sleep in the bunk beds.

Wonderful property!
Proximity to Torch Lake and the Sandbar is the best feature of this property but the accommodations were second to none as well. Hot tub was a hit! Fire pit area was great! Prepared for mosquitos … but none! Rooms, beds and baths were very accommodating. The pillows … divine! Kitchen well stocked with the exception of not enough forks! Slept great, relaxed well! Highly recommend!

Everything was awesome. The house was well stocked with kitchen items and they also supplied plenty of toiletries, bath towels and beach towels. We had a couple of issues but our host Natalie Maynard made sure they were taken care of quickly and efficiently. We will be staying there again.

Family getaway
The house was great, description was good. The use of the hot tub was nice, however the kids got some sort of black residue on their swim suits from the hot tub headrests. Overall we had a nice stay.

Great Spot on Torch Lake
Had a group of friends up for a weekend near Torch Lake. Was a great location, just a short distance away from the sand bar & the marina. Lots of nice outdoor space. The triple bunk beds were definitely a little tight for a group of adults, but otherwise was a great spot. Would absolutely stay again.

Great location
Our stay here with two families sharing the property was great. There was plenty of parking for cars and boats. Outdoor area was great for the kids. Deck and firepit were great! We had one small problem that was addressed immediately and fixed completely.

Exactly what we wanted
We were having a guys trip for a friend of mine. This property was located on a great plot of land with ample room for everyone who joined us. I couldn’t recommend this property enough. If you are looking to be close to the lake in a clean property this is the place for you!

Great place to stay
This is a really great property. The property has plenty of room on the inside. The outside space is really enjoyable, especially the fire pit! The property has so much parking, my friends and I traveled to the area to go fishing and we had plenty of room to park 3 trucks with fishing boats. The house was very clean and the beds were all very comfortable.

Skiing trip
The property is more of a barn but was nice. There wasn’t an outside picture or it so we had a hard time finding it because it was more of a barn. I don’t care for properties that use Evolve because they never answered a question when I inquired previously and they also require you to leave by 10. I have stayed in a lot of VRBOs for work and fun but Evolve makes the option less attractive to me.

We had a wonderful time. 2 family’s for a total of 8 adults. We enjoyed the items stocked in the home for use. Having a living room with plenty of seating is important to us. This home did not disappoint.

Gratitude
So thankful for this reasonably priced clean, comfortable, and well stocked home! The deck and fire pit was wonderful, and my family and I had a wonderful time sitting around it, just being together. The fire pit burned nice and clean with very little smoke. The house was the best stocked rental home any of us had ever been in. The host thought of everything, it's was generous and very much appreciated. We loved the open living area floor plan too. Very spacious for family dinner, games and activities. Would definitely recommend, and would stay ourselves again. Thank You!

This was such a nice place to stay!! The home is clean and recently renovated. There is plenty of seating for everyone in the living room, and three bedrooms with a total of 8 beds! The furniture in the living room was very nice and comfortable, and enjoyable to relax on (most Airbnb homes we stay at only have one small couch that barely fit three people). So kudos for having such lovely living room furniture/setup. The beds we stayed in were also comfy!!! I am particular about having a comfortable mattress and bedding. The kitchen is nice and open. Everything was very clean and tidy. I have zero complaints about this place and would definitely come stay again!!
