Beautiful condo beautiful location!

We planned a girls trip to celebrate a friend’s 60th Birthday. We wanted a place that could accommodate all of 6 of us, with the amenities of home, and was also close to all the beautiful neighboring towns. This condo did not disappoint in any way and had so much room!!! This beautiful condo was meticulous. It had 3 large bedrooms and 3 full baths plus a half bath, and a loft area. Large master bath on main floor and two upstairs. Fully stocked with towels and toiletries and extremely clean. The kitchen was also fully equipped with everything you needed to cook a meal for cozy night in. There is a washer and dryer and beach towels were also great after a day at torch lake. The property is quiet and the views from the balcony were beautiful. While we did not take advantage, there is a swimming pool and hot tub that was also available on the property. This place will be on a repeat for all of us to return to.
