Great property close to access to Torch Lake for boating. Upstairs was hot without the air conditioning, but otherwise a nice place.

Here's a polished VRBO review you could submit:We had a wonderful stay at this cabin for our family trip. The property was quiet, relaxing, and had plenty of space to comfortably accommodate all of our guests. While I didn't notice the no-air-conditioning note in the listing until after booking, it ended up not being an issue at all thanks to the cool July temperatures.One of the things I appreciated most was how simple the checkout process was. The departure requirements were minimal compared to many vacation rentals, which made our last day much less stressful and allowed us to focus on enjoying the end of our trip.Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this property to others looking for a peaceful and spacious getaway.
