Jeff and Jodi’s place was amazing. Super clean and a great setting with plenty of parking for my boat. Not to mention great proximity to Torch Lake and so much more. One of the best places I’ve rented. Communication was fluid and both Jodi and Jeff were so accommodating to anything that was needed. Two big thumbs up to this rental… you won’t be disappointed!!

Beautiful Cabin

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this cabin. The home is nestled in the country with the most gorgeous views. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Everything went great from communication with the host, the cabin itself, going on hikes and our overall stay. We will definitely be back.
