Cottage Camping. Our grandchildren wanted us to go camping so they went camping across the street
Our Son and his family went camping across the street from our cottage at Barnes park camp grounds. Great family trip. Our cottage was great! Definitely my kind of camping. Very nice cottage. Would stay again and recommend it to friends and others.

Perfect get away!
Our stay was just what we needed. We felt like we were home, but away from home with all its responsibilities. The cottage was very clean. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed to make meals if we wanted to. We enjoyed going to both the beautiful Torch Lake and Lake Michigan, both walking distance from the cottage. It was altogether a perfect get away for us. Although we didn’t need to call Jeff, our host, we knew he was available for any of our questions. We will definitely tell others about this opportunity.

Pleasant stay for young family of 5
There was a slight check in delay because of laundry, no problem for us as the cleaner was very accomodating. Place was nearly spotless. Finishes and furniture was clean and of decent quality. My only complaint was the shower pressure was low but thats not anyones fault. Few things to note.. we had 1 toilet paper roll not sure if thats normal or not but might want to pack extra. There are a couple of markets nearby for convenience but also $$$$ a box of cereal was $11. Nearest Meijer is 30 min south in Traverse City I think. Also we didn't realize Torch lake really wasnt a beach friendly place (never been here before). We don't have a boat or anything but didnt realize we would hardly use it bc no beaches and you reallly can't see it very well from driving around. Location of the house is so nice, 20 min North to Charlevoix or 20 min south to Elk rapids. Both have nice family public beaches. The Barnes park beach nearby is also pretty nice but we like to visit a new beach daily. Property is close to Friske fruit stand which our kids had a blast at their facility. We also headed into Central lake (Blue Pelican Inn)for dinner and stopped at the 1914 Cellar and also Torch Lake Cellars. Would def recommend this rental to anyone. Rooms had window air-conditioning units which kept the rooms very comfortable for sleeping. And the rental had blackout blinds on every window which is extremly nice!!!

Wood Roach infestation. Poor communication from host is not responsive/helpful/seems incompetent.
Close to boat ramp, small shoulder for walking & very busy street & no privacy in the yard, very loud. Bring your own paper towel & tissue. Water has a strong smell - the worst we have encountered. There is a noticeable odor to the home. Need to keep the air circulating Beds are rough & be careful in the tub & with the hot water. Traveling one anticipates bugs. Most people do not just live with bugs in their home, & expect a rental to be clear of infestation. House has wood roaches & mice droppings throughout. The reasoning for the poor rating is Jeff’s inability to have compassion or empathy. We tried to work with him & offered to vacate to allow for a deeper cleaning and allow for tx. Offered to respray when more roaches appeared after tx his response after asking what he would like done was, “That is entirely up to you. Again these are not harmful and you are in northern michigan in the middle of summer. At this point I don't know what else to tell you.” We continued to take care of the bugs for the remainder of trip. We are not dramatic, we anticipate bugs, we don’t want to spend our vacay continually cleaning someone’s mess up. It is evident in my interactions with Jeff he does not care.

Good stay
We had a very nice stay at this Vrbo Rental. Host responded to messages within an hour. Location is on busy/main roads, so there's not much privacy in the yard. But it didn't bother us when we were inside. Washer & dryer were great. We had one rainy day during our visit, and the living room was great to watch movies & play board games. We were surprised at how comfortable the mattresses were. The water was sulfur-smelling, but that's super common for the location. We brought plenty of water to drink. There wasn't a grill brush, but turns out you can use crumpled up aluminum foil to clean the grill.
