Excellent location and very well stocked with everything needed for an exceptional stay. Loved the fire pit area! The only downsides were the two sofas in the living room which need to have cushions re-stuffed or replaced and the lack of a private access to the beautiful Torch Lake. The house was very clean.

Great Stay

The home is really nice and we had a good amount of space for our families, 4 teens and 4 adults. Kitchen has everything we needed, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and washer/dryer worked well. The garage was great for games and the front porch and backyard fire pit gave us space to enjoy the outdoors. We enjoyed our week at Torch Lake.

Great family vacation!

Perfect home for a family vacation. Location across the street from Torch Lake was convenient and access to pontoon boat rental was a plus. Owners were friendly and responsive to any issues that we encountered. The home was near several towns, beaches and parks. Would highly recommend for families with children. Great experience overall.

Torch lake cabin

The place was perfect for us. Lots of kitchen ware and great beds. We had a whole family reunion and on our night the garage and fire pit worked out perfectly. The location was excellent we went to Traverse City and Charlevoix.both about 35 m. We plan on going back.

Lovely spot in the trees

Lots of shade in the hot weather, perfect for our family. Lack of beachy access areas was a disappointment. Despite that, we had a great time.

I am glad you enjoyed the house and property. The house is conveniently located about 200 yards from two public lake accesses. Both offer a sandy shoreline and direct access to the sandbar that stretches approx. 2 miles wide and about 800ft out along the south end of Torch Lake. The water is up to 2-4 ft. deep, super clear and the bottom is sandy. Both access points offer parking. These accesses are wonderful places to swim, play in the water, bring your SUP, kayak or inflatables and enjoy the lake. I am sorry that the access points did not meet your expectations.

First time renting a vacation home and my experience was amazing. The weather did not cooperate with our stay but everything else did. I was very happy with all the supplies available and the fun we could have on the property despite the rain. The home suited our family of 5 adults and my 10 month old granddaughter. Looking forward to renting again.

Torch Lake house

We had a wonderful time at this house. Everything we needed was provided including some starter s’mores ingredients. House and property were a beautiful area that let us explore many nearby cities. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the lake the most. Thank you!

Mom and grown sons relaxation week

I can’t say enough about Torch Lake, or this property! Beautifully clean and organized, pretty much everything you need is already here: beach towels, floats, even bug spray. The frog pond and campfire circle are ridiculously relaxing to sit aside. Owners just across the street, too! Great experience. 10/10

Great introduction to Torch Lake

The property was 99% perfection. The house was clean and spacious. Bathroom, kitchen and living room space was perfect for the 8 guests we had. The pool and ping pong really added to our family experience along with the perfect fire pit in the back yard with really gave it a camping feel. Location was ideal near the Village Market and town of Alden. The only way it could have better was if it was right on Torch Lake, thus the 99%. But for the price, the property was ideal. Loved it.

All your needs met

This house has everything you need. Plenty of space and activities to keep you busy. We enjoyed the firepit, garage games and hiking trails! She has supplied everything you need for kitchen neccessities. Everything is labeled and very organized down to a first aid kit and emergency supplies. Our only complaint is the road is fairly busy and loud which was unexpected. But that’s really the only complaint.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay at our property and for sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed all the amenities and the well-equipped kitchen. Our property, ideally situated on Torch Lake's south end near two public accesses, offers both convenience and accessibility. The backyard, bordered by beautiful woods, creates a peaceful retreat, striking a balance between easy activity access and serene relaxation. We appreciate your feedback about road noise, which is typically minimal. Interestingly, you're the first renters in the past 10 years to raise this concern. It's essential to note that the road is rarely very busy, primarily only during a few peak days in the summer when many people flock to the lake to enjoy its beauty. We apologize for any inconvenience this unexpected traffic may have caused during your stay.

Anja is a wonderful host. This home is so well-appointed and comfortable. We found it more spacious than it appears in pictures. We stayed with our six 20-something kids and had plenty of room. The rec room, with pool table and ping pong table, provided great entertainment while waiting on people or our next outing. And speaking of outings, the location also is great. Adjacent to the lake and centrally located to all the area’s attractions. We’ll be back!!

The entire property was pristine, immaculate, superbly stocked, and ultra organized. The location and proximity to the lake was perfect! The amazing "game garage" and optional pontoon rental were the icing on the cake of a perfect stay!
