The house was great. It was clean and tidy and we had plenty of room to spread out. Most of all being right on the lake was amazing. Our host was very helpful and answered any questions I had efficiently and quickly. I would definitely rent from him again.

We rented the house for a cousins weekend and it was just perfect! On the water with open views to the lake, we just wish the weather had been a bit less windy so we could enjoy the fire pit. The house was everything we needed for a group of 11 - a variety of bed types, multiple bathrooms, full size kitchen, a sizable living room with those views to the lake, and plenty of parking for those of us arriving separately. The host was friendly and accommodating allowing us a later checkout time. The house is a ranch style but with a few steps down to the main living area/kitchen/bedrooms, which may limit someone who is disabled. Overall this house was perfect for our needs and we had a wonderful weekend!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming up to Torch Lake. The house was clean and spacious and conveniently located close to a boat rental place. Just as important it was easy to get in touch with the host.

Took family and friends (total of 8 adults and 3 children) to this cottage for a long weekend and it was fantastic. The house was perfect. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, amazing view of Torch Lake. Home was spacious and had plenty of room for all. Able to easily seat all of us at the dining tables. Loved this home and would come back here in a heartbeat.
