Quiet Lakeside Getaway

My husband, our two young boys and I loved our stay. We went on Labor Day weekend, but were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of this lake, while still having easy access to the fun and exciting Torch and Elk lakes. The hosts were wonderful and helpful. They were available when needed but also gave us our space. The boys spent hours fishing off the dock and swimming in the clean lake (rocky near the shore, but sandy further out). We don't have a boat, but the hosts recommended many places for a daily rental. Easy access to the boat launch or to rental places through the chain of lakes. We loved playing in the large yard and s'mores by the campfire at night. Our family also enjoyed the quick access to Belaire and Traverse City for pizza night and brewery visits. There were some bugs in the house, but that is expected at a northern Michigan lakeside retreat. Overall, I would recommend this property to all of my family and friends!

Wonderful Cabin

Our family had an amazing time at this cabin on the lake. We used the boat ramp down the street and the driveway accommodated the truck and trailer. The cabin is so clean and has everything you need. The water behind the cabin is clear and you can see all kinds of wildlife. Loved watching the Eagle fish in the mornings. My son forgot something and the host mail him a package. Such a wonderful stay.
