5 Star Stay!

We have stayed in many rentals. This is by far the best. So many additional amenities and the location was fantastic. The description was perfect. We had a large family group and there was plenty of room for everyone. Absolutely would stay again.

Torch Lake Family Vacation

I have been planning this vacation for over 2 years for my large family of 16. I knew the success of the vacation depended on finding the perfect house and I did-it was perfect! We needed plenty of space and separation for 4 couples and 8 children ranging in age from 8 months to 12. This house delivered, especially with the great detached Gameroom. Every detail was very well attended to, if you needed it-it was there. The kids enjoyed the pools and the beach. The view from the outdoor pool was amazing. The kids loved making s’mores in the fire pit area. We spent fun filled days at Mackinac Island and pontooning on Torch Lake. Dawn was very proactive in providing necessary information and responded quickly if I had questions. All my family agreed it was a wonderful house!

Great Vacation House in a Beautiful Location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay At the Serenity Now Villa. The house was very clean and large. Plenty of room for all 9 of us. They had great ammenities also. We really enjoyed the private beach club and pools. The game room and basket ball net along with the fire pit were a big hit also. Great communication with the hosts.

Amazing property and amazing hosts!

We had a great time enjoying everything this house had to offer. We enjoyed being a short drive to all of the golf courses, and other activities in nearby areas. If we had a question about something regarding the house, the hosts were quick to respond. I would recommend staying here! Fun for all ages with arcade games, basketball hoop, and peacefulness within the neighborhood.

AMAZING AND HUGE

This home was huge. We had 4 couples and several kids of from 18 to 1yr olds. There was so much room we never felt cramped or in each other ways. They had everything you could think of or need already provided down to stocked k cups. I would give this place and the host who were always very quick to respond w questions 10/10

Family Get Away

We truly enjoyed our stay! We had a group of 13 and the house was perfect for us. There was enough room for the teens, little kids and the adults to all enjoy time together. Dawn answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The game run was an added bonus and a perfect way to relax after a day on the lake. We used the pool pass on our first night and it was a nice way to start the vacation. We would definitely choose this listing again in the future. The digital board game was another nice touch!

Loved it!

What a great place to stay. There was never a dull moment! We had 11 people, and there was something to keep everyone occupied and having fun. The property itself was beautiful and peaceful. Communication with the owner was great, very responsive and helpful. The house was stocked so well with things we may need. So many things that other rentals we've been to do not even think of providing. Usually I'm forced to buy cleaning and paper products. They had plenty of everything. And if there was anything we forgot, chances were we found it there. Highly recommend, and if we ever make it back to Torch Lake, we'd be thrilled to stay here again!

About the host

Host profile image
Dawn and Jason are here throughout your entire stay to make sure everything goes well and you have a great vacation.

Why they chose this property

We renovated this entire huge house and spent months making everything as great as possible so that you and your group have the best time ever. Our goal in this house was that groups and families could get away and all stay under the same house and have plenty of space to spread out and have plenty to do. The garage was designed for kids and adults to hang out and have a great time, the fire pit has enough space for everyone to hang out around and tell stories and make new memories, and the house has enough space for everyone to spread out or hang out together. This is the perfect house for a vacation. If you decide to leave the house, there's plenty to do close by, golf, ski, lake, or discover the northern Michigan area.

What makes this property unique

From the gorgeous spacious house, to the gaming garage, to the fire pit large enough for your entire group to enjoy and look at the stars, everything about this house and the area we fell in love with. Once you pull into the subdivision, all stress leaves your body and it's time to relax.
