"Unfortunately, we ran into a situation with a sick child and had to make a last-minute change of plans. We were well aware that this was inside of the typical timeframe where adjustments to our stay could be made, but the experience we had made us feel undervalued and ignored. There was a complete failure by the host to respond to any form of communication, including multiple phone calls/messages, texts and emails.

PINE COTTAGE - Pet Friendly Lakefront Cottage on Thayer Lake

8/10 Good

"Cozy cabin on a quiet lake. There is a short, incline with small pebbles from parking area to cabin. Great firepit area. Perfect location; we were able to check out Traverse City, Petosky, Charlevoix, and area around Torch lake. Thought it was odd that cabin did not have any places to hang clothes or wet towels (only one small towel bar in bathroom, no hooks anywhere in cabin). Also kitchen not very conducive to cooking due to lack of counter space."

BIRCH COTTAGE - Modern Lake House w/ shared Frontage on Thayer Lake

8/10 Good

"Rooms were sizable, mattresses were good. Easy check in, responsive host."

Torch lake waterfront:100 ft of sandy beach, 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Really nicely remodeled inside and wooded property with sandy beach. Definitely plan on coming back again. Mooring buoy was very helpful if you plan on bringing a boat."

MAPLE COTTAGE - Lakefront on Thayer Lake in Alden with WiFi, AC

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was exactly as the photos appeared. That is what we were looking for. It was actually better with all of the extra special touches & incidentials that were provided. I believe everything was set up as if the host were thinking how they would like it - if they were staying there. If we were to come to Michigan again there is no doubt - we would stay there again. Quiet, peaceful lake side cabin in September."

Charming 2-bedroom cabin with Water Views on Thayer Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing weekend trip! The cabin is beautiful. The views and surrounding areas are breathtaking. If you need a two bedroom cabin with all the amenities of home, this is the place. How many cabins actually have dishwashers and laundry facilities! It comes equipped with everything! Check in was simple. Communication was very fast. It really was a perfect weekend."

Large beautiful living room too. Very easy access to beautiful Torch Lake! Dave and Natalie were very helpful. We would stay there again "
