The description stated it was a 5 minute walk to Torch Lake. That is what sold me on the house. I thought we would be able to walk to the Lake but we had to drive and public access was not beaches we could sit on. We walked down steps straight in to the lake. It was beautiful but i thought i could take a chair or float in the water. Never found where the sandbar was. The family enjoyed Thayer lake and all the people staying on the property were very kind. Our washer did not work from the first load. We called and were told they were unable to come. It seemed to go through a couple of wash cycles but wouldn''t rinse out the clothes so we had to always manually do a drain and spin on each load when it finally stopped. Took forever to do each load regardless of setting we used. Bathroom door handle kept falling off. We sank in to center of king bed and after two nights of misery my husband pulled mattress off and found two center legs were broken off. He fixed it the best he could without tools and it was much better. Lots of dust on ceiling fan above dining table which grossed everyone out to sit there so i got up and cleaned it. The back bedroom was unbearably hot with just the one small fan. The air conditioner was adequate but hard to set to actual comfort level. Either froze to keep all rooms cool or was too warm when had to turn it down to sit in main room. The family had a great time. Just wanted to make you aware of what we had.
