Extended Family Vacay

We loved the house and its location! There were 14 of us, and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep as well as spread out as needed. The kitchen was updated with great appliances and good prep space. It was great having 3.5 bathrooms with this large of a group. We loved the direct access to the lake and were able to rent their pontoon boat for some great fun on the lake along with paddle boards and other water stuff. We were also close to a grocery store and Torch Lake. All in all we loved our vacation spot!

Peaceful Oasis

This is a beautiful house and location with every convenience needed. There were 8 adults in our party with plenty of room to move around. The master suite with its king size bed was comfortable and beautifully decorated. Although comfortable, the beds in the other bedrooms were smaller, maybe full size. The property was open and allowed enough room for everyone to have their own space. It was a little pricey but worth it. I would definitely recommend this property and would consider renting it again.

End of summer getaway

The house is just as pictured. It gave my family the room we needed. The kitchen had everything we needed for all our cooking needs. Loved the lake. It stayed shallow for quite a ways out. My only concern is it seems a portion of the beachfront has been left to have the grasses grow into the beach. In the picture the beach area is longer more of a rectangle. I would be disappointed if more of the sandy beach would be lost. My grandchildren loved playing in the sand. Overall, it was perfect.

Amazing!

I booked this property at the very last minute due to an issue with the home we previously rented in the area. Sue at Blair Management quickly responded to my booking request and answered all our questions ensuring we were able to relocate in less than 24 hours. The house was immaculate! It was very clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need plus little extras i.e. an apple charging station, and throw blankets in the living rooms, etc. The kitchen had everything a family would need to cook and feed a large group and a table that comfortably sat everyone! The mud room with a washer and dryer in this space was ideal for a big group of skiers and snowboarders to take off their wet gear and put it directly in the washer. The living rooms and bedrooms, including the bunk space in the basement, were well laid out and put together. I can't say enough about this property! It was gorgeous and perfect for our group of twelve. This is definitely one of the best homes I have rented from VRBO. The owner and management team covered every detail a family would need while vacationing. Although we were there for winter sports the lake and lakefront of this property would be wonderful for a summer vacation as well. The lawn and outer property area is beautiful and ample enough for summer lawn games or just hanging out. We will be coming back in December 2025 and hopefully for a summer vacation in the near future. I highly recommend this property for any season!
