The Creative Escape: Whole House Rental & Studio
This whole house rental offers more than just a studio retreat. It is an ideal getaway cabin rental for those seeking a quiet, comfortable Northern Michigan stay, even if pottery isn't on the agenda this time. We have ceramics magazines going back to the 70's. Research ceramics through the decades. The clay is here if you need it.
The main house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, laundry downstairs in the basement, and the studio sunroom. The long table will seat up to 8 people.
The backyard is woods facing. So is the east side of the house. Our neighbor is currently renovating their home on the west side. A nice back deck to dine or lounge on plus a fire pit.
Clay, Comfort, and Clear Water: Your Private Torch Lake Rental
Located directly across the street from Torch Lake’s access point, the house provides a beautiful view of the famous blue waters beyond. Guests can step out to sit on a bench and enjoy the sunset, or take a refreshing dip in the water. The serene lake access is available for our guests to enjoy until the peaceful hour of 10:00 PM.
Vacation home rental includes: fiber optic wi-fi, Roku tv, full kitchen, spacious deck, wooded backyard views, fireside stargazing.
The Pottery Retreat (use of throwing wheel and pottery studio) is $50/day. Please message us to purchase. This will allow for the use of clay, colored slips, and firing. We'll fire your work and ship it to you. Staying longer, we'll fire while you're here.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Pruckler

Host profile image
We're Rick & Tonya. We're artists. We both sculpt. We make our tile just down the street at Whistling Frog Tile.
This little shop at the corner of Crystal Beach Rd looks like the Blouse Barn. Instead, it's a cute shop with artist-made goods. Open year round. Come see us! Not on Tuesdays & Wednesdays though, we're closed then.

Why they chose this property

Just walking down the street in the evening, the lake is your constant scenery. The woods are beautiful. Delicate ferns and blueberry bushes make way for deer. Green moss lined trails are just behind our house. Most of the summer, the sky is the brightest blue. Clear air comes in from the lakes. For the majority of the year, cool evenings make for perfect hikes.

What makes this property unique

We're right across the street from the Oak Street lake access. One of the quieter access points to the sandbar, we love how the woods hug our property. The sunroom studio is great for dinner or morning coffee. Torch Ridge is perfect for hiking. The chain of lakes is perfect for kayaking. We love Traverse City for its diverse dining options!
