    House was good for our stay. The home was nice, comfortable beds, location ideal for winter activities close by. A few disappointments were more related to the property management. We arrived to the garage blocked by icy snow where the plow had not touched, there were multiple bags of trash in the garage which were never picked up although we were told they would be, and there were no dishwasher pods. Floors were not the cleanest either.We would stay here again as the home was lovely, but the property management company could do better.

    Wonderful time on Torch Lake with 2 families. Great location, close to public access and public boat launch at Butch’s Marina. Very clean and modern. Kitchen had all the supplies for barbecuing and cooking in. Ample parking room for multiple cars/boat/jet ski trailers. Nice outdoor deck seating and bonfire seating.

    Beautiful home. Quiet, peaceful and private location. As a traveler with an autistic teen, the only disappointment was to find we were more than steps away from the Lake and the closest access was very rocky. We found the sandy beaches in nearby Elk Rapids the perfect fit for our families' unique needs
