My family and I stayed at this property in July. My grandkids loved playing at the dock and it was a great spot for watching the sunset. The kayaks and water mat added to the fun. The cabins are very close together which worked great for us. The property owners live just a few yards away from the cabins and they were extremely helpful if we needed anything. We rented a pontoon boat and Donna contacted the rental company to help us work out some minor issues we were having. We will definitely come back.
The property has many amenities and the owners are very nice. The large house in the picture is the owner’s home and they are a presence on the property while you are there. The small rustic cabins are close to the road.
Donna was so easy to communicate with, quick to respond to my many questions. Cottages were quaint and stocked with everything one would need for a wonderful week on Torch Lake with extended family. The property itself is stunning with beautiful gardens, waterfall, amazing sunsets from the top of property. Down the hill is play set, hot tub and tennis court. It has a small beach area which was shallow enough for grandkids and the water is crystal clear. We rented a pontoon boat all week from Dockside Water Sports and visited the sandbar which was amazing. It really seemed we were somewhere in the Caribbean as the water had so many shades of blue. Hoping to return someday, Torch Lake is certainly a gem! Thanks again to the Green’s for sharing their cottages with us. Marianne
It was our first time at Torch Lake and we had an incredible experience. The property's grounds were amazing, with breathtaking multi-level views for the adults and an abundance of activities for the kids. The gardens were exquisite. The kids loved the sandy beach and lilypad. We made smores while watching the sun set over the lake. The hosts were very welcoming and truly enjoy sharing their piece of paradise with others. We will definitely be back.
When the property that our 5-household extended family had rented to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary fell through- this spot opened up and it was beyond amazing. A beautiful setting with every amenity you could ask for. The beach, playground and magic water carpet were perfect for little kiddos and the grounds were also fun to explore. Donna and Jeff were incredibly hospitable, especially by graciously accommodating some of the activities we had planned for our full family to celebrate my parents. We loved it so much we booked again for next year with the house on the adjacent property so additional family households could join on-site for the full week.
We had a great time. Donna and Jeff are the best. Would visit again for sure.
Loved our time at my favorite place in Michigan! Donna was an absolutely amazing host! Had everything we needed and then some! Between location and the house, can’t beat it!!
We were very happy with our stay - many thanks to the Greens for opening their lovely cottages and beach to us!
We spent a week at Turquoise Waters this past June and had a wonderful time. The cottages are well appointed, and the property is spectacular. There is no shortage of things to do between the beach, playground, tennis court and numerous water toys, and Torch Lake is like no other lake we've ever experienced - crystal clear and turquoise (with absolutely no weeds like we have in Ontario!). A complete treat. We'd highly recommend this property and the location - a wonderful escape from the city. We hope to be back soon.
Stayed here for a week in July 2016. 7 adults and 4 children (ages 11 months to 7 years old). We rented both cabins, and while they are small, we quickly settled in and really enjoyed our stay without feeling cramped in the slightest. The cabins do share the lot with the Green family's home, but at no point did we feel as though we were intruding on each others space. They were gracious hosts who responded to any concerns quickly, and the grounds are so extensive that there was room for everyone to enjoy the space. Good weather was a plus, because the majority of our meals were able to be enjoyed outside on the grill and at the large picnic tables. The swimming area and crystal clear Torch lake waters are fantastic, and most of our time was spent on the lake. A paddleboat, 2 kayaks, and 2 stand up paddleboards were all put to good use in addition to being able to enjoy the sandy beach, the dock and outdoor seating for sunbathing and watching sunsets, and the tennis courts. There is a bit of rocky-ness to the bottom of the swimming area, and right where you enter the water from the beach. Didn't stop us from enjoying it, but some of us used water shoes to avoid walking on the rocks and it was fine. We really had an outstanding family vacation at this rental, and I would definitely recommend it.
