Family vacation
We are a family with 7 adults. We were all very comfortable in the space. The front porch was a great place to hang out. The huge yard worked out wonderfully for yard games. We all fit with room to spare around the dining table. Loved the little extra touches of soaps, foil, spices, extra tooth brushes. Had everything we needed

Torch Lake weekend getaway with family & friends
Beautiful house & property. Plenty of room for cars & trailers. We had five couples & two boats with more than ample parking. The house had more than plenty of room for ten people & the wrap around porch was great for sitting when the rain came.

Intimate and Charming
This property is "pure Michigan." Having never traveled to the state, we quickly understood how fortunate we were to have our request accepted. Everything is well-maintained, thoughtfully decorated, and truly accommodates the number of guests permitted. Its seclusion provides all of the privacy your group would expect from an estate-styled stay. There are a myriad of unique gathering spots you and your group can create memories, closely or collectively. The outdoor spaces are serene, but you can always seek a respite from the weather in the home's grand, inviting rooms. Alden is only a few minutes away. The town is small and quaint, yet it is abundant with leisurely activities and necessaries.

Wonderful
Very clean, plenty of space, well maintained older farmhouse. 3 min walk to torch lake and clam lake, 11 minute drive to towns of Bellaire and central lake. Large yard with fire pit and tree swing, great for the kids to play in. Kitchen has everything you need and there is a grill and a huge wrap around porch. You can tell the owners take pride in this home and it is a great rental option for multiple families. Very impressed with this house and plan to rent it again in the future. The only thing we didn’t realize was that there is no tub for the babies, but the kitchen sink is huge and that worked just fine. 5 stars!!!!!

Great Up North Vacation Spot
Great location for a winter trip. Lots of space in the house for games and gathering. The kitchen is well set up and provisioned to take care of a good sized group. Interent/tv connection isn't strong, but this is a great place for an up north retreat.
