"We recently stayed at this Torch Lake home with a group of nine — including my wife, our infant daughter, our dog, and extended family — and had a fantastic time. The property is tucked away in the woods, offering a quiet, peaceful atmosphere while still being right on the water — exactly what we were looking for.The home is older but very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space and beds for everyone in our group to feel comfortable. The beachfront access and private dock were hands-down...

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is perfectly situated by all the action-well, as much action as you want in Charlevoix. The receptionist/reservationist/bartender, Joanna made us feel right at home. Walking distance from restaurants and the river, this beautifully appointed hotel is hip and has beautiful interiors. We will be back!!"
