About this property

Welcome to beautiful Torch Lake! This cottage is a weekly rental with a Friday check-in/check-out preferred. Reach out directly if your needs are different. We will do our best to accommodate.

FYI: This is a family-friendly street with quiet hours between 10pm and 8am. Neighbors are close, kind, and respectful of these rules. This is not a house for loud groups or parties of any kind. This house is NOT directly on the lake — it sits on the back of a lot that has a house on the water. It does have great views of the water and easy access to the water with a public access point at the end of the street. If you have questions, please reach out and ask.

DESCRIPTION: Make memories of a lifetime in this two bedroom (great beds/mattresses), two-full-bathroom (with shower/tubs) guest cottage on the North East side of Torch Lake. This cottage comes with a convenient public access point to Torch Lake at the end of the street. This fun and peaceful retreat offers beautiful sunsets from the front porch, easy access to Torch Lake, and evenings watching the sunset or sitting around a fire pit. The newly updated open interior is clean and bright with great views of Torch Lake. The front porch is perfect for sipping coffee, wine or just watching the nightly gorgeous sunsets. On-site laundry is a plus. The great location of this cottage on the north end makes it easy to drive to Charlevoix or Petoskey as well as the cities of Central Lake or Bellaire. Kayaks, windsurfers (lessons too), sail boats, and paddleboards are available for rent at the end of the street from Torch Lake Windsurfing. Call (231) 599-2801 for more info.

Great week

This rental was very clean and it’s central location makes day trips quick and easy. We travel with a 16’ boat so we always need a good place to park it and this home offered ample parking for our trailer and car. The owners were generous and kind. Although we didn’t end up using it, they offered us the use of their mooring ball for our boat during our stay. This is a gem of a property and location!

Family week together

The cottage is very close to the Barnes campground where my brother was spending the week. It was very close to the Torch Lake and easily accessible to grocery, restaurants and farm stands. The boat launch beach was perfect to hangout and watch the sunset. The cottage was well equipped for cooking. We were very comfortable. The one bedroom with 4 bunks was where we had 3 people sleeping and my 87 year old mother got the separate bedroom with queen bed. Bathrooms were fine, plenty of hot water. The parking was good for three cars and neighborhood was quiet. There is a kayak/canoe rental right down from the house that we did a 1/2 day on beautiful Torch Lake.

Torch Cottage w Lake View

Our stay was awesome. The owners were great, very helpful, and quick to answer any questions. The cottage is right across the street from the shore and it’s well stocked, clean and very well taken care of. We will be back in the future. Try this place out, you won’t be sorry!

Great Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage!! We met the owners and they were super friendly and helpful! It was only my daughter and me on this trip, so there was plenty of space and it was nice having separate bathrooms.

Perfect Get-A-Way

Extremely clean house on a very quiet road. Kitchen was stocked with all needed cookware to have multiple stay at home meals. The beds were very comfortable. The owners quickly responded to questions. We would definitely stay there again.
