    This is a great lakehouse in a great location. We stayed just after the off-season began, the second week of September, so there were more locals than tourists and less activity in the establishments and at the sand bar, which was just fine by us. We cooked in the cabin, grilled on the deck, used the fire pit and went to the sand bar each day with the small boat we took there. One note, if you bring your boat, they provide and mooring buoy in knee deep water just off the dock, instead of allowing you to tie directly to the dock. The water is crystal clear and very shallow for hundreds of yards directly off the dock here and directly connected to the sandbar. We did not need it, but this cabin does not have a/c. We did not use the bunk house, but I did peak inside. Just as described, a set of bunk beds and a full size bed in one room, and a separate sitting room area. Overall, great experience!

    Great property, location and amenities. Very please with our stay. The view in the morning is spectacular and the lake is everything it’s made out to be. Great spot for a family to relax and play.

    The cottage was unique and full of family history, perfect location and fabulous autumn weather! The place can use a good cleaning, lots of cob webs, spiders, mice traps And dust, dust, dust!

    There are two separate living quarters. A shed that has two bunks beds and a queen bad and a main house. The main house was immaculate- very nice. BUT if you're going to use the shed, everyone that slept in there was covered in flea bites by the time we left. AND unfortunately, they brought them home in their suitcase, so we're dealing with them in our house as well now. Torch Lake is absolutely amazing and the beach access and the fire pit were great! We made a lot of great memories.

    We had the best time at the Shingle Shack! The house was spacious and comfortable. It is has a very homey feel to it. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is a great little market within a few minutes drive that we v bought all of our groceries at. The kayaks were fun to take out into the lake. The beach fire pit is going to be hard to top for all future vacation rentals. We did not use the bunkhouse during our stay. The lake is absolutely beautiful.Perfect for swimming, boating, etc. Highly recommend!

    My kids grew up coming to Shingle Shack with my family. This was our first year booking alone for a family vacation with my now adult children. Grateful for the gorgeous setting to be together and make memories.

    Main property was really nice and owner was helpful with all communications. The secondary house/bedrooms had more of a musty smell and since it was too cold to keep windows opened decided to have everyone stay in the main house, which has plenty of space with futon and couch. Great central location for all the activities we had planned and right on the water!
