Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This cottage was right next-door to another cottage we rented so the family was very close. It was very clean. Communication with the owner was top-notch would definitely come back. The location is right across from the sandbar where a lot of people anchor their boats and just hang out on the water and it’s walking distance from this cottage. It was very convenient for family members that wanted to go in a little earlier than others to be able to walk right from sandbar across the street to to the cottage.

Torch Lake Getaway

Wonderful place to stay, very much like being at home with a great view of Torch Lake. Would recommend this house as not only was it just what we were looking for but close to all attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Dollar

Host profile image
I sometimes live in this updated100 year old cottage and next door so I'm here to help you. The rental cottage is not just a rental. It will, one day, become my 5th Torch Lake generation's personal cottage. Therefore, it is lovingly cared for and kept up. I expect my renters to respect my dreams in keeping it nice for my grandchildren. I love sharing this area of northern Michigan with others.

Why they chose this property

It's close to everything, the back yard is peaceful and the cottage is clean🤗. It brings back the wonderful world of cottage living and is not like a modern hotel room.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor hot water shower (soon to come) as well as indoor shower. Deer in the yard, at quiet times. Also, you can’t be any closer to the sand bar for the price.
