Our whole family enjoyed staying in this home. Very quiet, peaceful and a clean home that allowed us to enjoy family time in the evening. We also enjoyed Torch lake and Bellaire lake (access from the home). We enjoyed the beach, cornhole and a family volleyball game. This was a great family vacation.

Very nice place

Great place. I love the windows in the back of the house, looking out into the woods. It’s snowed a lot and it was a winter in wonderland. Very peaceful spot within the woods. The home was very comfortable and clean! I can’t wait to return.

Family togetherness up north

Our family (with children, spouses & grandkids had a great reunion here. There's so much to do at the home & in the area. Highlights were the beach pass (with pickleball too) & pool pass, & a day renting a pontoon boat on Torch Lake.The home nicely fit us all. We loved the downstairs room for the kids & the pool & ping pong tables. It was a lovely stay. Thanks much!

Great house, Great locatiom

Overall the house was an awesome experience. It accommodated 5 adults and 6 kids easily, with a very well stocked kitchen and accommodations to keep all entertained while not on the ski hill. Access to the resort pools was a great bonus part of the experience. One caution, the drive way is very steep so during the winter months, 4 wheel/all wheel drive is probably necessary.
