My family spent a wonderful week in the main house to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. Our group of four couples could not have asked for a better place to gather. The cottage has been nicely updated and we loved the vintage "Up North" charm. It was clean and well-stocked. Everyone found the beds to be comfortable. The kitchen had all the cookware, utensils, and spices needed to prepare family meals. They even provided beach towels, sunscreen by the door, board games, and extra blankets. We enjoyed the large porch, which had a variety of seating, a Blackstone grill and a charcoal grill. Grilling dinner and watching the sun go down over Torch Lake was a highlight of several evenings. The property also features a nice lawn with a firepit, a dock with lounge chairs and hammocks. Indoors, the living area had comfortable seating for all eight of us to relax together.The location was ideal for all of our activities, including cruising in a pontoon rental, kayaking, golfing, day trips to Mackinac Island and Sleeping Bear Dunes, shopping, and exploring restaurants, breweries, wineries, etc.Communication with the host was prompt, clear, and extremely helpful both before and during our stay. She made sure every detail was taken care of so we could focus on enjoying our milestone celebration.
