Torch River Cottage ——Pontoon Boat Available!

Nice property with plenty of yard to play in. Location with the pontoon was fun as we made it out to the sandbar a number of times.

Great location with a surprising amount of room! The house was super clean and in great location! We were able to take the short boat ride to Torch lake and also enjoyed swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding in the river.

This is a wonderful place to stay right on Torch River! The house has been newly renovated and is in beautiful and clean condition. Its location is extremely convenient to Torch Lake and to Elk Lake! Spend some fun times sitting on the dock watching boats go by, take a nice swim, or kick back in the evening around a nice bonfire. Just a great family place! We will definitely stay here again!

We had a fabulous time! Your place was exactly what I expected…peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable! I would highly recommend your place as a top vacation destination.

The owner was fantastic and very open and responsive to any communications. Their place was very clean and vey updated. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I've been coming to the Torch Lake/ Elk Lake arrea for vacation since I was 5 years old (yes, since the 1950's). I'm 76 now. Good grief! But I've got to say this was the nicest, quietest, and most beautiful cottage I've ever seen.

We had a group of 8 adults, 4 couples (late 20's, late 50's) Everything we needed to enjoy our trip was available at the cottage. Plenty of linens, Adirondack chairs for the fire pit area, kayaks, cleaning supplies, a full binder of literature on the numerous activities, dining and events in the surrounding area (extremely helpful!) The cottage is inviting and comfortable...we felt very much at home. The bunk room can be a bit tight for two adult couples. We chose to pitch a tent in the very large backyard along the river for one couple. Turns out they thoroughly enjoyed being that close to the river and hearing the sounds of the river while sleeping. The dock and covered boathouse was a bonus! We sat on the dock in the mornings watching the boats and kayaks passing by while enjoying our coffee and in the evenings having cocktails before dinner. Surprisingly, we sat in the pontoon boat under the boathouse during the really hot parts of the day and once when it was raining outside. We rented the pontoon boat for the week and were very satisfied with the boat. It was roomy and could have set another 4 people comfortably. We are boaters so it was super easy to handle the boat. Even if you aren't a seasoned boater, driving a pontoon boat is relatively easy. The dock had the padding needed to keep the boat safe while docking. Getting the necessary instructions from the owner was a breeze and only to about 20 minutes. He came right to the cottage to meet us.

Adam was a great host to work with he. Adam was very responsive to any emails or texts sent to him. The house was very clean and ready for our stay. Everything was in good working order (A/C, Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer, Range/Oven, Microwave). The house was stocked with dish soap, hand soap, washing machine tide pods, dishwasher detergent, fabric softener for dryer, kleenex, paper towels, trash bags, and bath linens). The kitchen was stocked with all of the necessary items to cook, serve and eat on. The BBQ grill was clean and ready for use. The fire pit was great for those cooler evenings once the sun was gone. The pontoon boat was great. We took it out everyday to the torch lake sand bar. We also took the boat to the dockside grill on Torch lake. The boat was well maintained and we had no issues driving it or parking it on the dock. The house is only a 20-30 minute drive to many restaurants, breweries, wineries, distilleries, gas stations and grocery stores. We will definitely come back to Torch Lake and hope to stay at the Torch River Cottage. Thanks, Adam.

Relaxing vacation in a beautiful cabin.

We had an incredible stay at this cottage on Torch River! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for cooking and family fun, making our stay comfortable and convenient. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short boat ride away from Torch Lake and the beautiful sandbar. We took advantage of the proximity to nearby areas like Traverse City, Leland, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, making for some fantastic day trips. The kids had an absolute blast, especially with the boat and tubing adventures. This cottage offered the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy Torch Lake and its surrounding areas. We can’t wait to come back!

Excellent location. Enjoyed the house, plenty of room, clean and fully functioning. Using the pontoon was alot of fun. Thanks for going over the navigation with us Adam, worked great. We went to all the lakes, had a good time.
