We stayed for a week with a group of 8 friends. Layout of the house was perfect for our group. We had 4 couples, all got their own room with an assigned bathroom. The bunk room was a bonus. The screened porch is amazing! great big dining table. The Fruit Flies were insane, so we had to buy fly paper, which helped. that was just due to the time of year, not the house. The local town was close by, great grocery store, but the house is on a main road, not in a neighborhood - so the driveway can be a little tough to pull out of - and the drive way is steep. We were able to play music outside without complaint. If you want to go to Torch, be aware that from the north side of Elk to the Torch sand bar will take 45 min - 1 hour by boat (we had a speed boat, not a pontoon) moving at a decent pace until you hit the no wake zone. The lift at the house could not support our boat (too tall and too heavy) but we secured to the dock with no issue. the water in the bay immediately in the backyard was like glass for skiing in the morning and evening. Could not have been better. there is debris in the water (logs) to avoid if you have a low prop. Overall, our stay was great, the house was clean and a great set up. The house had all the kitchen equipment we needed. We would visit again for sure. The whole group agreed we would rent the house again.
