Overall this was a wonderful property to spend the week. The house was in good condition, with new carpets, recently updated laundry, and well stocked kitchen. The owners allowed access to the garage and storage area where we could use the various water toys, gas grill, charcoal grill, and other useful add ons. This alone added immense value for us since we didn't need to haul those things with us. Dorthy and Bob are very nice hosts and accommodating. I would stay here again!
We enjoyed the porch many times, watching the lake, the sunsets, and sipping on wine with our friends. The cottage was cozy, very clean and had most everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to Alden and many other places we wanted to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book again.
We had such fun here! The location is ideal for us, and the property was wonderful. It’s very well equipped, the beds are comfy, and Dolores and Bob were super helpful.
This is a great place to stay. Neat as a pin and great location. Highly recommend
Beautiful spot on the lake in a well maintained, spotless home with all the amenities of home. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the summer.
Beautiful views right on the lake. Dorothy and Bob were very helpful and nice owners. Will consider coming back some day.
A group of friends and family stayed at Bob and Dorothy’s rental on the water. It was perfect! The location, view and house. Dorothy and Bob were very accommodating. There was 8 of us and the house was plenty big enough that we didn’t feel crowded when we were in the house. Would definitely rent the house again!!
Dorothy and Bob went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay in their lovely family cabin on the southeast shore of Torch Lake. We enjoyed kayaking, playing cornhole, and the fire pit at night.
A wonderful property, with perfect access to torch lake, fantastic views, and wonderful owners. Very easy access to the town of Alden with quaint shops. ,Our stay couldn’t been better.
