About this property

Cottage with deeded access to the beautiful Torch Lake

Enjoy a slice of the Caribbean right here in Michigan. The crystal clear, turquoise water is mesmerizing. Enjoy stunning sunsets right from the back porch. This is boaters paradise. Spend the day kayaking the beautiful waters of Torch Lake and the evenings roasting marshmallows around the firepit. Wine tasting opportunities are within minutes of the cottage as well.

Wonderful cottage. Very clean and a nice layout. The home has two decks, you can watch the sunset nightly. Family enjoyed the 4 Kayaks, the fire pit, proximity to everything on Torch Lake. Todd was quick to answer the few questions we had. We cooked several meals for a multi family trip, and found the kitchen to be very well stocked! We highly recommend!

Great experience with this rental at beautiful Torch Lake! House is a lot roomier than pictures show - we had a decent size group without any space concerns. Kitchen is very well stocked with dishes/cookware for preparing meals at the house - there is new large gas grill on the balcony off the main living area and an older traditional charcoal grill down by the fire pit area. Great view of the lake and amazing sunsets. Property has deeded access to the lake which is pretty narrow but great for use of kayaks which are provided. There is a wider public access about 50 yards down the road from the property - we rented a boat one of our days and the wider access provided a convenient place to load and unload our group. Todd was very easy to contact and very responsive. Overall a very positive experience!

Fun time at Torch Lake

House was very nice though a bit of a bug problem. Good amenities with lots of games, 4 kayaks and nice fire pit. Not right on the lake but easy access. I would stay here again.

Thanks for staying with us Jane! I’m glad you enjoyed your time on Torch and hope you return next year! As new hosts we highly value the input from our guests to make your stay the best that it can be. We took your advice and signed up with Orkin to treat the interior and exterior of the cottage 6x per year. We hope this will keep the bugs to a minimum for the future.

Underrated Property

Wonderful cabin that is within 30 minutes of everything Torch Lake has to offer. Pictures don’t do the interior of the cabin justice as it is larger in-person that it seems.

Family Vacay 2024

Cottage was very accommodating for our family of 12. Location is around 20 minutes from pretty much anything you are looking to do. Commutation with owner was easy, quick response and gave great recommendations on places to visit with the kiddos. Wonderful time!!

Wonderful Lake House

We were a group of 6 adults and 5 kids. The kids stayed in the basement rooms. They loved the air hockey, and there were lots of books and games and puzzles available, too! We were mostly outside and the kayaks were a big hit. Torch Lake was beautiful and it was a short drive to Lake Michigan. We were so happy to have the fire pit as well. An all-around great place to stay!

Wonderful Stay on a Beautiful Torch Lake!

Our stay with 11 Family members went extremely well! Todd was very accommodating and responsive to the few questions we had during our stay. We prepared or cooked on site 6 of 8 meals in a well appointed kitchen. Our group managed well with the two bathrooms being on the main floor only. The access to the kayaks was nice with easy access to Torch Lake. The fire pit on a small patio area comfortably accommodates about 8. We did have our entire group of 11 gather one evening, though that’s about maximum for the concrete patio. Thanks so much! Easy access to Lake Michigan and Torch Lake beaches and boat launch’s.

Cute little spot

House is much bigger than it looks. It doesn’t have any beach space. Just a very very narrow path to the water. No yard in front of water. I guess that’s what “deeded access” means. I didn’t know that. Host is very nice and responsive. Little pricey. But it’s more the Vrbo fees that are out of control. Lastly, I thought the cleaning list was a bit much esp based on what we paid.
