The kitchen was large and very well equipped, we do a lot of home cooking and it had everything we needed. There is a short walk to the small beach area, but you will need to bring your own beach chairs. The owners are super responsive Should there be an issue. ##### Barbara H.

Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul M. 11 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 4th of July Week Rental We stayed here the 4th of July in 23\. We are from Michigan and travel up North at least once per year. We would move up here if jobs allowed. Owners were outstanding and the cabin was well stocked with a good layout for a family of five and two small dogs. Lot is mostly sand but the outdoor shower was awesome. It is not beach front and you have to cross the road to get to the beach. It is well worth the walk as you are hard to find a better inland lake beach. Water is crystal clear and you can walk out 300 yards in any direction so it is perfect for kids. There was even a wedding held at the beach during our stay. We would give 5 stars but Torch lake on the 4th is a huge party and loud each nite until early morning. Other than that it was a great trip. ##### Paul M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ---
