Fantastic house, view and location for our family of 9!

This house was clean, spacious, and had all the amenities needed for a week long stay. The property was gorgeous and the kids used the paddle boats on the pond, and me and my husband hiked the trails. We saw deer and wild turkey as well as many birds! 5 min from Central Lake and a grocery store and 10-20 min to Torch Lake depending on where. We spent days going North and South, up to Petoskey, Charlevoix, Indian River and Boyne City and down to Bellaire, Alden, and Traverse City. The location was very convenient! Each bedroom had its own en suite bathroom. The upstairs apartment had its own sunroom and deck! The kitchen and living space was perfect for 9 of us, and the view of Torch Lake was lovely, especially from the fire pit.
