It was definitely what we wanted. From the views to the quiet secluded area. On the plus side the host left my wife some roses and candies(as requested) for our anniversary. Was far and beyond what we expected! Definitely plan on going back. ##### James L.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Booking and check in was extremely easy. The house was very clean and we felt comfortable there. Enjoying the beautiful views while relaxing in the hot tub was amazing. We saw several deer on our morning and evening nature walks on the beautiful property. Location is very convenient and close to other prime destinations. The owners were extremely kind and helpful. We rented their pontoon for a day out on the lake and we had such a great time! It was our first time to Torch Lake - but it definitely won’t be our last. ##### Mike M.

If you’re looking for something a bit more secluded with amazing views this is the spot! The hidden fire place is a nice touch. You just have to be ready to go up a hill on a dirt path. Which if you have an suv or truck it’s no problem. There’s a corner store that’s less than 5 minutes from the place and it’s super close to torch lake. The pontoon was really nice to rent. The noise from the water heater isn’t that bad especially given me and my 7 other friends could all take showers without running out of hot water. Will be back again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amber B. 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Decent The house was clean and the view outside is great. 🤗 Plenty of secluded space with trails to walk or ride. Private. There are plenty roaches (pretty sure they are wood roaches) but they are all over outside and a couple inside. The owner tried telling me they were stink bugs from the trees when I asked if he knew they had roaches 😒 he never replied back when I assured him I’ve lived in MI all my life and those weren’t stink bugs. The driveway up to the house isn’t the easiest if you don’t know how to drive well in a sand pit,basically, but you’ll make it. We did get our Jeep and 23ft boat up it luckily but it was a tight path. ##### Amber B.

Property was very nice & veiw was amazing! This getaway was beyond over due!! Honestly not the vacation I really wanted, but it turned out to be EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! With things the way they are currently we did not want to leave the country. But none the less we had a relaxing & enjoyable time. My husband & I along with our 2 dogs made the trip. This was the first time we traveled with our furbabies. They did amazing, loved all of nature & all the new smells. Our big guy even went down with his daddy to meet the cows Dale has. The cabin was well kept & the hot tub was amazing!! Cabin was well stocked with essential & even some extras that past visitors left. I do definitely look forward to coming back. On the night before we were leaving, I just sat out on the deck watched the sunset, listened to the peaceful sounds. I reflected on how the past few years have been for me. I smiled thankfully for all I have & even cried for all I have overcome! ##### Donna D.

We enjoyed hiking the property, bonfires, chilling in the hot tub overlooking the spectacular views, visiting local cities and of course boating on beautiful Torch Lake. Access to the boat and lake were seamless. Dale and Mike are lovely people and were so easy to work with. Cabin has everything you need… great family vacay! ##### Amy L.

Dale was great in communicating, flexible, and fun get to know. Having the pontoon boat for the Fourth of July was amazing on Torch Lake. We went to the state park to hang out on the beach and go swimming. In Rapid City had dinner downtown during the cherry festival. The steer was a cool surprise along with all the other wildlife we saw. The hot tub was wonderful and the view was priceless. We hope to be back next year. Take good care!
