Summary: We had such a great time! We are a group of 11 high school friends who have remained friends for over 50 years! Yes we are old! We rented a pontoon boat with plans to explore Torch Lake one day and Elk Lake another day, however the weather was unusually cold with rain off and on so we cancelled. There was so much to do in the surrounding area. We spent time in Elk Rapids, Bellaire and Alden exploring, shopping and enjoying the lake views. We spent 1/2 a day at Traverse City Resort and Spa treating ourselves to spa appointments. Day Trip to Charlevoix! What a fun town. Great lunch and drinks at Weathervane Restaurant, Gem Car Mushroom House Tour of whimsical one of a kind hobbit style houses, beautiful lake and marina views and shopping on Bridge Street. Our host Jennifer was great. Super attentive with lots of great suggestions. The VRBO was well appointed, comfortable with lots of seating areas and with great views. Well stocked kitchen, beach towels for our use, fire pit, marshmallow skewers - you name it. We all had a great time and are already planning our next trip when we can get some boating in on the lakes! Thank you Jennifer! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
