The house was exactly as described. Very clean inside and out. Beds were all very good. All kitchen appliances and utensils were clean and in good order. Grill was clean and worked well. There were only 4 in our party but this house could comfortably hold six people. The lake is exceptional, water is crystal clean and very comfortable for swimming. We did walk/wade out to the sand bar. Fun spot and excellent if you have a boat or rent one. The house had a nice breeze and really didn't need any a/c. Parking was ample, we only had one car but could hold 3-4 easily. Property owners live near by and were very responsive and pleasant. If you are looking for a Northern MI getaway, this is a great option. We stayed for a week. Rented both a pontoon and jet skis, plenty of options and very close by.We used the fire pit and also enjoyed star gazing nightly!
We had an amazing time! You can't beat the location and the week we were there the weather was perfect. The fenced in area was key for the dogs and Angie and Herb were so easy to communicate with! Thank you for a wonderful week. We will be back for sure!
We had the pleasure of staying at Angie's beach house for our anniversary. This Beach House has everything you will need. It is close to a small convenience store hardware store, a restaurant and the boat launch.I cannot say enough good things about this property. I am a property manager of 56 short term rentals and this is one of the best ones I've ever seen. We have already booked our stay for next year.
We had the best time staying at this beautiful house on Torch! You just cannot beat the beach area and views of the lake from this place. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Angie & Herb for sharing your home with us!
Great location! Property owners are very present and live across the street. Cottage was clean and accommodated all our needs.

It appears that both received lower review, due to you bringing a extra guest. We do stay across the street in a place that is facing away from our rental home, the view of the house is blocked by a car port,
except one small corner of the street side of the house. We do meet with guest when arrive to get rental agreement signed. When we go out on Torch Lake on our boat we will stop by to see if our guest are outside on lake only once in the guest visit. If they are, we ask if everything is going well and if they need anything to call us. We do meet before they leave if the guests want to recieve the refundable deposit at check out, instead of them wanting until they recieve it by mail. Other then that, we respect the privacy of guests.
My wife and I loved our stay at this beautiful beach house sitting steps away from a sandy part of Torch Lake. My wife has a bad ankle and she appreciated the easy layout. Angie communicated everything well to ensure a smooth stay. All the amenities made for a comfortable stay. We thought the beds were comfortable , we slept well. Close to boat rental. Hope to be back , thank you :)
Angie and Herb’s place on Torch was ideal for our family. They were well stocked in everything we needed, had super comfortable beds and had the cabin set up in a way that maximizes space for all. The dock and beach area were absolutely perfect for our little family to enjoy, including our pup. Our family cannot wait to continue to make memories here for many more years to come!
Angie’s Beach House is a gem! Located at the south end of Torch with the famous sandbar in sight. The house was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and the owners were very responsive to the couple of small problems we have. We had a wonderful vacation and look forward to coming back.
The shore/lake is literally out your back door! Comfy living conditions with outstanding lake view ! Property is well equipped! Wish there were more restaurants close by!! Gracious hosts!
Angie and Herb’s home is even better than described!! The property is well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing vacation. The location is right on the sandbar but far enough away from the action that you feel privacy. You can walk to the sandbar from the home. We appreciated the comfortable beds!
We cannot say enough nice things about our visit and absolutely cannot wait to return.
We had an excellent experience with Angie and her beautiful property. The location is just perfect. The views are superb. Angie thought of everything. I have rented several locations across the country and always needed to pick something up. Angie has everything organized and ready for you to just arrive and relax. She even includes ideas for restaurants and activities if you would like them. Highly recommend. BEST rental property we have stayed at.
This little house is adorable! It is impeccably clean and had everything we could have possibly needed. And the bed was really comfortable (which is not something I can usually say about places we visit). The little beach in the pictures is fantastic—clean, soft sand. It’s hard to imagine, but it’s even nicer in person. The hosts were absolutely lovely. We and our dogs enjoyed it immensely. There is a road close to the house and there is some traffic. I noticed that drivers were very respectful of walkers — slowing down and moving over with a friendly wave. I walked the dogs several times during our stay and had no problem at all (even when I wore an Ohio State sweatshirt!). I would go back without thinking twice.
Celebrated my 30th birthday with a summer family vacation to Torch lake. Despite having been going Up North my entire life this was one of the best vacations!
Extremely responsive hosts, the house was clean and as advertised. You can tell these hosts care deeply about providing a great vacation for their guests. While the house was stocked with everything needed and very comfortable the highlight is the exterior of property! A short walk to sandbar, sandy beach, dock to watch boats come off river or sunset, grill, enough space for activities! We were lucky to have weather in mid 80’s which was icing on the cake. The wind was not aggressive during the week and we were able to effectively tie the boat up to the provided bouy without issue throughout the week.
It’s exciting to see a host that reinvests in upgrades. I can’t wait to return and stay again!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
This place is absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time except for, the owners being very intrusive to our stay. The issue was that Angie walked into the cabin back door without permission to find my sister and girlfriend who were in the cabin at the time and never asked them for permission to enter. ILLEGAL!! She came in and started cleaning things but without anyone’s permission to come in. When we told her you can’t legally enter a rental without permission, she said” this is my place and I can enter if I want”. The day we were packing up to leave, Herb her husband said that they took pictures of us and our boat. This was Illegal because we didn’t tell you pictures could be taken of us and or did we know. Also, the day we were leaving they came to the cabin as we were packing up and started taking pictures of us and the cabin as if we had wrecked the place.We did laundry and dishes and pretty much left the place as we left. There issue was that we had pets come which they allow and that we accounted for payment/contract wise. Have fun!!

These renters ripped out all the pages of the house journal from the past two and was not able to find any of the pages.
I could have not rated this guest but thought that I should warn future hosts of his behaviors. It appears both of our rating went down because he lied about only having 2 dogs at check in. In fact, he had a third dog, a puppy that wasn't was not potty trained. House rules state only 2 dogs and no dogs under 1 yr old.
The puppy was found when I came to the house to leave him know that they could stay an additional night that they asked about at check the day prior. The door was completely open when I walked up to door frame. Informed the renter girlfriend as the renter was not present about the extra night when I noticed the puppy. Explained to the girlfriend that the puppy and the number of dogs was violation of the house rules. That an additional pet fee would be added the pet fee the renter agreed to on arrival for the 2 dogs that where not placed on the booking.
Then I look over and saw that they did not place the blanket on the new leather couch, that I asked them the night prior to place a blanket over the couch as I originally did not know they were bringing dogs. Instructed them on the location of the blanket. Noticed that not only no blanket on couch but was covered in sand and soaked with water. It was apparent that the door was open to the dogs could go into the water through the sand and allowed to jump on the couch. that is when a stepped into house asked the girlfriend if I could go in and she nodded that I could go into the house, then went into the bathroom to get a towel to wipe of the sand and water and applied to the bedroom to get the blanket and was give the OK. Placed the blanket on the couch then left. In my rental agreement I am able to come the home if damage is being done to the property and they were letting my couch be damaged by the dogs.
Then received a threating call from the renter yelling and cursing at me, then he hung up. He never paid for any of the dogs or the refundable security deposit. Other house rules broken 1- tied boat up to dock, 2-moved the furniture around on wooden floor in the living room. 3-Left after checking out time (found poop on floor from the puppy, refrigerator not cleaned out and garbage full). He either did not read the rental agreement he signed upon arrival or agreed to on VRBO. All the house rules are verbally reviewed with renters. I guess he thought the rules do not apply to him. The rest of his review is fabrication.
This home was absolutely fantastic! Angie and her husband were extremely friendly, and are the perfect hosts! The lake house is picture perfect, super clean, and full of charm. Felt just like home away from home, but better! My husband and I stayed with our 7yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix (who is still a puppy at heart despite being an older girl) and another couple (our best friends) who joined us for part of our stay. We all couldn’t stop talking about how much we loved this house! The location is perfection. You won’t find a property with a better spot on Torch Lake. There is a bar/restaurant, general store, party store, boat rentals, and a launch complete with a place to gas up your boat all within walking distance. We made several trips across the street to Torch River Shack to restock our drinks and snacks! The proximity to the sandbar is amazing!! You can see all the boats out there from the deck and private beach area, watch the action from the dock, or swim/walk/boat out to the sandbar and join the fun! We rented a pontoon boat for part of our stay and had an absolute blast out on Torch!! We can’t say enough good things about our stay, and particularly this beautiful home!! We highly recommend it and will be back for sure!!

Thank you for the review. We love our special place on Torch Lake and glad we could share it with others.
Our family of five stayed at the Lake House with our golden doodle. One reason we chose this initially is because Angie allows smaller pets. We absolutely LOVED the house, location and waterfront was perfect. The house was clean. I loved the hardwood floors. There are two full baths and three full bedrooms. Tons of closet space. The house is furnished perfectly. The deck is new and all composite wood which is appreciated, no slivers! Angie checked us in fast and has information that is informative about the area. Only disappointment was the weather, which no one controls. We asked if they had loungers for outside. They went and brought us two! The house had all the essentials you need, including laundry. We had a trailer to haul our kayaks and bikes, and we backed that into a garage - it is a covered nice shed -very large for storing bikes, tubes, etc. we did not use our bikes, not a lot of areas to bike ride, plus it rained on and off. The bridge is under construction, but nothing to worry about. We walked to the party store across the bridge - nice walk and party store staff at Fabianos were so friendly. Try thier pizza, too. I highly recommend this place - it’s perfect for couples or families. Six is the maximum. It’s private and nice. Enjoyed! Xoxoxo
We had a fantastic week on Torch Lake! The cottage location is great and the views looking down Torch are stunning! Angie is a fantastic & very accommodating host ! The house is well appointed & includes most everything you’d need! The sandy beach is great for hanging out & playing . You can swim or walk to the sandbar! The grill is great! We highly recommend morning coffee on the pier ! Will definitely be returning !
Angela was very accommodating to our needs. Check in was a breeze, and we felt right at home for our entire stay. The location is fantastic! You can literally walk to the the store, marina, hardware, local diner, and the sandbar! (depending on height). Noted that the dock is not suitable for securing a vessel, but there is a mooring buoy. We were able to beach our pontoon, and secure it to the tree since the weather was favorable. Owners were willing to go above, and beyond to meet our needs. Would stay here again.
