    The host was extremely responsive, and the house was clean and inviting. The only issue we had was the front door. Lock was a little difficult to lock from the outside otherwise a great location to stay on torch lake

    The home was well stocked and we absolutely loved the view of the lake. Wish there was a fire pit in the back yard. Also, there were three ladies that needed more space for toiletries in the bathroom. Thank you so much

    Our family of 4 had the absolute best vacation thanks to this beautiful home, large dock and perfect South Torch Lake location. The property was so cozy, nicely appointed and had everything we needed with easy access to Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Alden, Bellaire and all of our favorite “up North” destinations. We’re grateful for the family memories we made and will definitely be back!

    Alisa was great. Provided all the information we needed for our stay. Cottage is located on the beautiful south shore. Amazing views of the lake. The cottage is comfortable and had everything we needed. The dock/deck was outstanding for sunbathing and incredible sunset views. Plenty of outdoor seating was available. We will definitely stay again.

    We had a lovely week on Torch Lake. With kids ranging from 12-5, the shallow waters directly in front of the property were perfect for our family. The home itself was perfectly sized for our family of five, giving everyone their own space while also providing nicely sized family spots. The house is incredibly quaint with many charming decorative touches. It brought back many memories of lake vacations from my own childhood. It’s also important to mention that this house comes incredibly well stocked for a rental. Every kitchen tool you could possibly need, and then-some, was available to us. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy Torch Lake!

    This was our first trip to Torch Lake, and staying on the beach was our top priority. This home is on the south end of the lake and the lake is absolutely amazing. We swam each day in the clear water. Beach towels, water floats, and a paddle board were available too which was nice. The owner was helpful and responsive for our entire trip. When we could not access NBC to watch the Olympics, she signed up for Sling the same day to help. We visited the last week in July which happened to be the hottest of the summer. The lack of air conditioning was a drawback as the house was very hot, even with the fans. This would likely not be a problem if the temperatures were in the 70s. Also, the house has not been updated, so expect the feel of a cottage that hasn't changed much in decades. Updated towels and linens would be a good idea. It was clean and did have all the supplies we needed.

    The house was in the perfect location for the sand bar. This house is at the quiet end of the sand bar. So if you like piece this is your place. However if you want to be in the crowd its a short boat ride or paddleboard ride.
