Jeff and Jodi’s place was amazing. Super clean and a great setting with plenty of parking for my boat. Not to mention great proximity to Torch Lake and so much more. One of the best places I’ve rented. Communication was fluid and both Jodi and Jeff were so accommodating to anything that was needed. Two big thumbs up to this rental… you won’t be disappointed!!
