Nice place to stay.

What a great place to stay, beautiful view of the lake and close to TC. It was clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and be comfortable. Lots of parking for our family. The pictures on vrbo does not do it justice. Had a trouble with the lock box for the key. Other then that would stay again.

Great Place

This house was very clean and well kept. It has a beautiful view of the lake. It is more updated looking than the pictures show. There was plenty of room for our group of 12. The only thing that we would change is the lock pad to get in. It was a little old and tricky to use at times.

What a View!

This home offers tons of space for many to stay. The view from the deck is amazing! It is nice and close to many things to do! The kitchen does have the ability to cook with adequate pots and pans. We did struggle with lack of silverware. Plenty of beds. However two on the lower level were lacking support, making it impossible for two people to sleep in. You rolled to the center of the beds. No support in the middles. Three full baths were great! However bath linens had to be done daily because there were not enough to go around for our size family. The access to laundry was great. It also has two full size refrigerators, which we put to good use! The fire pit is quite a distance from the house proper You do have access to the Lake, but there is no swimming beach there The grill is charcoal, no gas grill. We were able to enjoy many of the areas great features: The Lavender Farms at Old Mission Point Leland Beaches, finding Leland Blues Sutton Bay sidewalk sales Torch Lake Harbor Days Elk Rapids Great home base for adventure My family is large. There were 9 adults and 5 kiddos

Beautiful sunsets!

Very nice house, plenty of space for our group, a few issues with appliances(coffee maker, washer). We rented the pontoon for one day and had a really good time. Downstairs bedrooms were very cold. Overall , we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay! The house was perfect for our group of 13 girls celebrating a bachelorette party—plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable. The location was great, and the lake access was definitely a plus. The listing pictures definitely don’t do it justice—we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The only downside was that the host did not respond to any of our messages, which made communication difficult. Overall, the house itself was wonderful and worked out really well for our trip.

Great house and lake access

This was a great property for a large group. Probably best for families with kids. Several of the beds are together in the basement with no privacy. Probably a good place for a group of kids. The deck was big with a great view. Large kitchen and living area for gathering. A boat was available for an additional fee which was great. The owners were very nice to deal with.
