    We loved spending a week here. Place is exactly as described. It was so peaceful and quiet. Cottage is close to many cities and wineries. Loved corner bistro and Torch Lake Cellars

    The Quaint Cottage is just the right size for my son’s family. They enjoyed staying there and being close to the larger rental let them come and go easily. Another wonderful week on Torch Lake with great accommodations!

    My wife and I were extremely please with our stay. The home is a quaint rustic cottage as described. We loved the fact that the home has remained mostly original and has that weekend retreat feel. The grounds were immaculate, beautiful lake view, peaceful setting at the north end of the lake. The host Dawn was excellent in her communication and description of the home. We will definitely stay again!!!

    The outside of the property is charming. inside was a little dingy. bedding was nice and bed was comfortable. bathroom situation was another story. toilet not working properly and leaking a little on the floor. after 2days toilet would not flush at all. contacted owner and got no response. nothing was done or said we spent two days out of the house because we didn’t want to overload the bathroom and the septic. overall i am disappointed in our stay!

    Very well kept, clean and in a great location. My wife loves falling asleep to the sound of the running water in the brook outside the main bedroom window. Highly recommend.

    Overall things were fine. Some things could use updating. In particular the heat system was extremely loud and made it difficult to sleep. Mind you we were there in October for fall colors. Mattresses could use a refresh too Host was awesome and I would consider renting again.

    Wonderful lakefront cabin. Very comfortable and had everything we needed, with a lot of extras! Everything was super clean. The shoreline is perfect with a little sand and then transitions to rocks. But they are smooth and pretty flat. The deck at the cabin was amazing. We spent so much by time sitting out there eating, reading,and playing cards

    The outside of the property is lovely! Cottage interior needs updating. Back screen door broken, pull out sofa bed broken and non-functional, kitchen needs updating. Additionally, there was a miscommunication on their end which was handled poorly by the owner and caretaker. Very disappointed and won’t be staying here again.

    I spent a week here with my two sons, sister, and dog. The house had everything we needed. The boys and dog loved the canoe. We had fun relaxing on the patio and swimming. The landscaping and setting was beautiful and the sound of the creek was very relaxing.

    My son’s family enjoyed their stay at the Green Cottage - with close proximity to the larger rental, it allowed privacy but the opportunity to be with the rest of the family. We are looking forward to renting again - thank you for a great vacation!

    My partner, myself, and our 2 Frienchies stayed at the cottage the 3rd week of June 2024. We loved it!!! The weather was a bit mixed, and the lake was chilly. Beach is nice sloping sand and the grassy side yard was perfect for our dogs. The beds comfortable and listening to the creek as we were sleeping was soothing. The only wish list we had was not being able to dock a boat overnight. The cottage only has a mooring buoy. This end of Torch Lake is peaceful and quiet and about a 30 minute boat ride to the sandbar. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and are hoping to book again next year.

    Property inside was outdated. Cabin had well water, which is fine and expected, except that it was rusty when you took the shower you smelled like rust had to buy bottled water to make tea and coffee. The screens were inefficient and let bugs in the house. Food in cabinets expired. Furnace sounded like a jet engine. Ceiling near the furnace had water damage and was painted over smelled like mold. Would have loved a lighter and fire starter for outside campfire. Overall outside deck and dock water access was wonderful. Friendly neighbors. Quiet and beautiful sunsets. Outside area well maintained. A few interior updates would make it perfect.

    This was even better than expected! Beautiful sunsets! Right on the water. Hearing the waves lapping up on the shore while sitting on the deck was just so relaxing! Highly recommend this place to stay!
