We had a wonderful time at Jason’s cabin. The cabin is beautiful, cozy, and exactly as described, nestled in the middle of the woods, in an exceptional location. Jason was a great host who was readily available and got back to us within minutes when we needed help. We will definitely come back!

Perfect fall getaway location! Quiet and private, beautiful surroundings and close to many natural areas. Great place for families. The place was clean, and had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better week!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful house. Quiet area and super peaceful. House was extremely clean. Lots of space. Loved the deck, fire pit and front porch. Within 15 mins of stores and gas stations. Lots of great golf courses within 15 mins. Easy hour drive to Traverse City. We had a blast and would definitely stay again. Jason was very proactive with his communications before we left, during the visit, and the last day.

My family and I had a great stay! The house was spacious and had a bunch of games. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The fire pit area was really nice as well. The cabin is close enough to the lake but also secluded enough so it felt private. Torch lake is a great place to visit!
