Loved the property and dock(s) access. The ENTIRE house was well equipped (didn't need to bring much of anything)! All house operations were clearly marked as well as explained in notebook (attic fan, lights, switches, etc). Quiet property and neighborhood. Friendly neighbors. Convenient location. Clean lake(s). We enjoyed our stay-never long enough....lol Only semi complaints- 1)House was clean except cobwebs in many corners. (I understand this is a norm in a wooded lot home. But maybe a little more attention to that). 2)Some windows did not open. Some wouldn't close all the way. And a screen on 3 season room would be perfect. But none of these semi complaints are REAL problems, just more FYI!!!! We had a wonderful time and a great experience. The host was also EXTEMELY responsive when reached out to. Thank you Jennifer!!!!!! Excellent hostess!!! ##### Lisa C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa P. Jan 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Winter Getaway We loved our winter stay here. This house was cozy, nicely laid out, well organized, and was on a lovely, quiet street. The house had everything we needed. We came up for a winter weekend getaway after Christmas with our 4 kids (teenage to young 20-something). There was plenty of room for us all. The weather was warmer than we expected, but we were still able to do some winter activities. We went ice skating in Traverse City and the boys went skiing at the near by Shanty Creek Resort. Traverse City was close enough for a trip to Costco -who can go without Costco (Ha Ha) and a pit stop for craft supplies for the girls at Hobby Lobby - Barefoot Nook is not too far from anything you might want or need. One day we walked downtown Central Lake and visited a few shops and later stopped in the conveniently located local grocery store to pick up a few things for baking -the grocery store was charming and reminded me of the small town grocery store I frequented as a child when visiting my grandma. On New Year’s Eve we enjoyed a fire in the fireplace, played board games, watched football and then watched some of the neighbor’s fireworks near midnight- that was a fun surprise! We enjoyed our stay. They had a large pantry in the kitchen that we filled with foodies we had brought from home. The host was terrific (great communication), everything was easy to find in the house, and the whole process of staying and checking out was very straight forward. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Lisa P. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina J.

More than enough room for our group. Definitely had the feeling of our own vacation home. The peacefulness of the lake and and beautiful scenery was perfect. Although we didn’t use all of the amenities, ( row boat, Kayak, bikes, water toys) they would be perfect for a family vacation. We would definitely stay again. ##### Christina J.

We stayed a week at the cottage and it was lovely! There were lots of toys (indoor and outdoor) for all ages and the location was great for our young toddler. The lakefront was perfect to play in the sand and wade into. The kitchen and rest of the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and the hosts were generous in communicating with us as the property had just switched ownership. The town of Central Lake is cute and this property is very close to Torch Lake and Lake Michigan. ##### Mollie P.
