Thank you!

Renovated, well appointed house in a beautiful location! The views are great and it was convenient to check out various areas of Northern Michigan. We stayed in late July and were very comfortable without AC. We had a great vacation and would rent the house again!!

Hidden Gem of Central Lake!

This spot was perfect for our group getaway to Torch Lake! The property was recently updated, and the host has done an amazing job at keeping the home stocked with everything you may need (from spices to floaties!). We spent our time sunning on the dock and swimming in the clear waters. The welcome book on-site was also very informative and the host was readily available and communicative. Highly recommend if you are seeking a classic 'Up North' retreat with modern comforts.

Wedding Weekend

We were in the area for a wedding. This home was just perfect! The furnishings and decor are so beautiful. Our local host Tabitha was so accommodating! Her communication was excellent and service outstanding! We appreciated access to the home prior to the 4pm check-in time and being available for anything we needed.

Beautiful Home on Torch Lake

We had such a good time at this home. We used it as home base to explore the areas nearby-Sleeping Bear, Traverse City and Mackinac Island to name a few. It was still a little early in the season to enjoy the lake, but it was beautiful to sit on the dock and enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise and sunsets. The home itself is exactly as pictured in the listing. Well equipped and the owners have thought of everything! The home was clean and in good repair. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful !

We had a lovely few days in this beautiful cottage. The beds were comfy and with the breeze coming off the lake, sitting on the porch was divine. Our only suggestion would be to add tie downs (cleats) on the dock to hook our boats to. It was difficult hooking them to the posts under the dock ! Otherwise 10/10 amazing experience !

Great house

The house was updated and stocked very well. Even little details were taken care of - like shampoo provided in the bathroom, and nice bedding. It’s in a great location, in a quiet area - close to boat launch and town. Could get to Sandbar end of the lake by boat in about 45 min. The only thing I suggest is possibly kayaks and bikes, and a bigger kitchen trash can! The garage could be a game room too if you wanted.
