The house was beautiful and it had everything we needed. We were able to float on the lake the cottage is on, and we were close enough to go over to Torch Lake and drive over there. We had a great stay!

This property is in the PERFECT location! There is so many beautful lakes surrounding it and the ammenities at the home made a perfect ending to our lake days! Board games, cards, kayaks, canoos and the fire pit did not go unrecognized. It was our first time visiting this region of Michigan and the owners were very helpful and quick to respond. 10 out of 10 vacation house!
