We had a really nice time at the property! First time to us in a beautiful area very close to Torch lake and other places. The condo was as described and had all the basics covered. For our family of 4 the space felt a bit tight with no dining table. Overall great experience and would recommend it!

Views from the kitchen and deck were amazing. Clean well stocked condo. Love the area. Pictures of the big pool outside the main resort and the washer dryer combo in the kitchen were misleading. The big pool can only be used if you stay in the main resort. The washer dryer combo in the kitchen cannot be used by guests. A smaller pool can be used at the end of the property and a washer and dryer in the building by the pool can be used.

The host’s communication was great, and the amenities were good. The floating shelf in the restroom needs leveling also the TV in the bedroom. The shower temp could be warmer but that’s personal preference. The door locking system is tricky but fine once it’s figured out. Overall a great stay!
