Convenient location. Nice property with the amenities to keep us comfortable and well-cared for. The grill was filthy but the stove worked so dinners turned out just fine. The boat option captured our attention but then it wasn’t available. It was a nice cottage and we had a lot of fun.

Everything was perfect especially the location we had a wonderful time but it would have made it even better to have air conditioning that actually cools the entire house and the back house it was extremely hot and humid

Great place to stay!
The property worked out so well for our group! It was the perfect location since it was so close to the boat launch. We had easy ample parking for our truck and boat. It was nice that each bedroom had a queen bed rather than bunks. We would stay again for sure!

Nice location, secluded home near everything
Great location near DNR boat launch. In the woods with a rustic feel. AC doesn't work great but they have fans in all the bedrooms which helped. Also being in the woods it is manageable. Great experience!

Nice and close to boat launch
It was very nice, had all the essentials plus very close to the boat launch for getting into the River/torch lake. Had a few questions while we were there and everything was answered/addressed very fast.
