Wonderful time on Torch Lake with 2 families. Great location, close to public access and public boat launch at Butch’s Marina. Very clean and modern. Kitchen had all the supplies for barbecuing and cooking in. Ample parking room for multiple cars/boat/jet ski trailers. Nice outdoor deck seating and bonfire seating.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home. It is very private and set back off the road. It was so peaceful and quiet! The house is so comfortable and has all the amenities. The perfect retreat to stay with our family and friends. We loved it! We would definitely stay again!
