10/10 Excellent
"Building is brand new. Suite was Even More spacious than expected, 😀which is nice. View of the water on 4th floor was a plus. Could open windows get fresh air and hear gulls (the “sound trac of beach vacations for me). Location was outstanding. Lovely space, kitchen had Tea bags and several coffee pods, sweetener, to get you going. Stylish coffee maker and tea kettle. Little gift basket too, with snacks & water was also nice touch. Nice surprise for those with modern electric transportation was that the Larry Hardy Parking structure a block away has 7 good free! level 2 chargers (7kW) and is the rare location that permits parking overnight. Also the even closer to the building is parking lot T(?) with four 11kW chargers (for $). This was likely the very best place we’ve stayed at in TC. Been coming up to TC ever other year since 2000. 👍"

Charming 2-bedroom cabin with Water Views on Thayer Lake

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at Thayer lake cabin! It is so charming and cozy. It had plenty of space for relaxing and lounging both inside and outdoors. The cabin is close to public access points to Torch Lake and close to the cute shops in Alden. It is secluded yet close enough to attractions. Alden ball park beach access was great for taking a dip in the lake before we checked in and we enjoyed the nature area down the street as well. The weather didn’t cooperate for a lake day so we got pizza from Village Market and had a fun night in. Great stay!"
