    Amanda was very accommodating! We had everything we needed as kitchen was very well stocked! Her lodge was beautiful and magical with the snow! Took our grandchildren and they got some sledding and hiking in on the enormous property. Lots of room with bathrooms in every bedroom. Had a fire pit going our last night there and saw some deer on the hike.It snowed about 8” or more our last night and our driveway was plowed before we had to leave.Thanks so much for the wonderful experience and the next time kids want to visit in the summer!

    Everything about our stay was top-notch. The lodge was supplied with toiletries, towels, cooking supplies which far exceeded our expectations. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. The land around the lodge was fun to explore and our granddaughters had a blast boating on the pond. King's Orchards and Barnes Park were our favorites and were very close by. We spent each night at the firepit making smores.

    This house was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities needed for a week long stay. The property was gorgeous and the kids used the paddle boats on the pond, and me and my husband hiked the trails. We saw deer and wild turkey as well as many birds! 5 min from Central Lake and a grocery store and 10-20 min to Torch Lake depending on where. We spent days going North and South, up to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Indian River and Boyne City and down to Bellaire, Alden, and Traverse City. The location was very convenient! Each bedroom had its own en suite bathroom. The upstairs apartment had its own sunroom and deck! The kitchen and living space was perfect for 9 of us, and the view of Torch Lake was lovely, especially from the fire pit.
