Great Location

Twelve of us stayed here for a family wedding. This property accommodated us perfectly and was conveniently located. We were within walking distance to the ceremony and conference center where the reception was held. Having a bath in all 3 bedrooms was a huge plus for getting ready for the wedding too! Received the address and check-in information within a few days of our travels and everything went smoothly. Would definitely recommend this property if you have a large group.

Nice place. Great location.

My family of 8 stayed here Monday thru Friday. As advertised. No complaints or concerns at all. Very central to everything we did. Including 15 minutes from Torch Lake. Maybe could have been a little cleaner. Dust and cobwebs in corners. Would stay again.

Shanty Creek

Overall we were satisfied with the property. Good location. Clean. Roomy. Good storage for all of our winter gear. The unit could use some TLC. Interior doors and molding need to be repaired or replaced, and exterior doors were really drafty.
