The only negative was no availability of a dryer for beach towels. ##### William S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie G. Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and cozy The house was super clean and cozy. The only downfall is two out of the 3 bedrooms do not have a television, so our friends were a little disappointed in that, but everything else was great. Nice short drive to dock the boat and head to Torch Lake sandbar. WE LOVED IT! ##### Julie G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lesa T. Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Clean house The house was as stated. It’s the only Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in that did not give access to washer/dryer. So that’s one reason I won’t stay there again. The house has a lovely shaded deck that we took full advantage. The street that the house faces is quiet with friendly neighbors. However, the street right next to the house is a cut thru and very noisy starting at 7am, then picks up again in the afternoon. The next door dirt bikes and 4 wheelers during dinner were also not appreciated. ##### Lesa T. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabrielle M. Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location and nice personal touches like beach towels, and make up wipes in the bathroom!

Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Torch lake on a budget Very clean, kitchen was well equipped. Bummed it didn't have an outside grill. Furnishings were in great shape and modern. The addition of access to the washer and dryer would be nice. ##### Gordon K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darin D.
