Cottage Camping. Our grandchildren wanted us to go camping so they went camping across the street

Our Son and his family went camping across the street from our cottage at Barnes park camp grounds. Great family trip. Our cottage was great! Definitely my kind of camping. Very nice cottage. Would stay again and recommend it to friends and others.

You definitely get your money's-worth with this property! It's been updated, and the addition of window A/C units in each bedroom makes it a comfortable stay. Kitchen is well-stocked, all of our needs were definitely met, traveling with two grade-school age children. I do want to point out, for future families, this property does not have direct beach access and is situated at a busy and loud intersection. The closest Torch Lake access is boat ramp access, not a place to swim or to call a beach. It is located near US 31 and M 88 which gives easy driving to many local beaches, lakes, and activities. We especially enjoyed visiting Friske, just up the road.

Eastport Rental in a great location

Excellent location and very clean property. Comfortable stay. Nice access to Lake Michigan. I believe it’s a bit more of a walk to Torch Lake We were surprised to find basic cooking ingredients missing however - such as olive oil and spices other than salt and pepper. So recommend folks visit a store for these basics. Also did not find hair dryer there so recommend making sure travelers bring one.

Great Location, Clean, Comfortable

The location is extremely convenient to so many things! It is walking distance to hikes, a restaurant, a store, and 2 lakes (lake MI & Torch lake). The place was clean, with all amenities and window air conditioning units in the bedrooms. There are blackout window shades which are wonderful for the long summer days in Northern MI. There was a cute back area with a grill, fire pit, and some chairs (we didn’t use either, but it was nice that they were there).

Perfect get away!

Our stay was just what we needed. We felt like we were home, but away from home with all its responsibilities. The cottage was very clean. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed to make meals if we wanted to. We enjoyed going to both the beautiful Torch Lake and Lake Michigan, both walking distance from the cottage. It was altogether a perfect get away for us. Although we didn’t need to call Jeff, our host, we knew he was available for any of our questions. We will definitely tell others about this opportunity.

Pleasant stay for young family of 5

There was a slight check in delay because of laundry, no problem for us as the cleaner was very accomodating. Place was nearly spotless. Finishes and furniture was clean and of decent quality. My only complaint was the shower pressure was low but thats not anyones fault. Few things to note.. we had 1 toilet paper roll not sure if thats normal or not but might want to pack extra. There are a couple of markets nearby for convenience but also $$$$ a box of cereal was $11. Nearest Meijer is 30 min south in Traverse City I think. Also we didn't realize Torch lake really wasnt a beach friendly place (never been here before). We don't have a boat or anything but didnt realize we would hardly use it bc no beaches and you reallly can't see it very well from driving around. Location of the house is so nice, 20 min North to Charlevoix or 20 min south to Elk rapids. Both have nice family public beaches. The Barnes park beach nearby is also pretty nice but we like to visit a new beach daily. Property is close to Friske fruit stand which our kids had a blast at their facility. We also headed into Central lake (Blue Pelican Inn)for dinner and stopped at the 1914 Cellar and also Torch Lake Cellars. Would def recommend this rental to anyone. Rooms had window air-conditioning units which kept the rooms very comfortable for sleeping. And the rental had blackout blinds on every window which is extremly nice!!!

Great location close to Torch Lake and Charlevoix. The cottage had everything we needed although we didn’t spend much time there because we were mostly out and about. We had a little trouble with the keypad but the host was very responsive. We would stay again if we want to be close to torch lake but it was a little pricey compared to other places we have stayed up north.
