    The house and property was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty of room inside and outside for the little kids. The location/distance too many marinas was perfect. Made for great day trips. Our days at the house were great! We enjoyed the absolutely beautiful lake. Paddle boards and lily pad available that we’d loved using. We hope to return again next year. our host Alyssa was very quick with replies when we had questions. We thank you Alyssa for sharing your home with us.

    Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week together at The Torch Lake House. It was very clean and comfortable. Our great grand children loved the sandy beach and shallow water going out quite a distance. Everything we needed to prepare meals was available in the nicely equipt kitchen. Watching the boats go by and sunsets from the deck were two of tour favorite pastimes.

    The house is perfect for lake living. The view of Torch and its sunsets are beautiful. The hosts are more than generous with providing the essentials. The property is as private as it can be on the lake. We moored our pontoon, which wasn’t a problem since we were at the South end of the lake. We would definitely recommend this place for a nice relaxing vacation.

    This house is amazing and even better in person. The location is perfect and the view of the sunset each night was our favorite part of the trip. The house is great for a large group and was super clean. Our kids of all ages loved the beach and the paddle boards. Highly recommend if you want a great spot on Torch lake!

    The property was exactly as described on the listing. Traveling as a group of 11 with a wide range of ages can be challenging, but everything went incredible smoothly. Communication with the hosts was excellent and the property had ample space for our group. We would definitely book again!
