Great family vacation

We loved our stay at this property. The owners have thought of every detail to make this a comfortable stay. We loved using the paddle boards and kayaks in the morning and roasting s’mores around the firepit at night. The home is clean and beautiful and was perfect for our family of four. We can’t wait to come back.

Perfect late summer getaway

Beautiful spot on Torch Lake that has everything you need. Great spot for a pontoon. Fun kayaks and stand up boards, great fire pit and chairs, good size deck for morning coffee and sunrise! And the house itself is just the right size with a great use of space.

Relaxing stay in a comfortable new property

My family and I had a great stay. The house's location on Torch Lake was amazing ... wonderful views from the house & deck, and great access to the lake! We stayed in the fall, but I'm sure the lake would be even more fun in the summer. The house itself was lovely, just as pictured, and it was incredibly clean -- one of the cleanest properties we have stayed at. This is always important but now more than ever in the days of Covid! The remodeling was tasteful and everything was in good condition.

Torch Lake Gem!

I recently stayed here with my husband and 3 children. What a wonderful and great location. The Marina, Restaurant and market are all within walking distance. Plenty of nearby towns and lakes to explore as well. Lots of action on the sandbar. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and BBQ grill. The property itself is a new home, very well done, great decor, extremely cozy and comfortable. We felt right at home. We loved this place so much we booked it for next year! 5*****

Gorgeous Home and Location on Torch Lake - Family Perfect

Absolutely gorgeous and well-appointed home on Torch Lake. Perfect for our family of 5, us and our 11 year old twin boys and teenage daughter. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals in. Kid-friendly dock and swim area. Directly across from the sand bar. Generally very quiet area at night (weekends a little later by 11 pm). Just a beautiful location. Lovely stay. Highly recommended.

AMAZING Torch Lake rental!!

What a perfect lake front rental! The location can’t be beat (right across the lake from the sand bar) and the house feels brand new. The kitchen is stocked with anything and everything you need. The bedrooms are ample and really nicely decorated. The living room has two couches - a place for everyone to sit. The paddle boards and kayaks were a hit with the teenager. The dock was the perfect place to pull our boat up to. The e property manager was super prompt when I texted with a question. My only suggestion for the owner would be room darkening curtains in the primary bedroom. We would and will be returning and would recommend this house to anyone looking for the perfect, relaxing lake vaca at Torch!

Torch family vacation

This house was wonderful! My husband, 4-year-old daughter, and I stayed here with my parents. There was more than enough room and we were very comfortable. The house is beautifully updated, with all amenities you need. We loved kayaking/paddle boarding in the morning when the lake was calm. Having the mooring ball was great- so nice to be able to have our boat at the house. The only thing that would make this better would be the ability to dock the boat so no one has to get in the water to get the boat- but not a big deal. Great location- right across from the sand bar and close to Torch River and plenty of restaurants. 10/10 would recommend.

Torch Lake Paradise

We had an amazing week on Torch Lake. If you are looking for a place that is clean, modern, and has amazing views of the lake, you will not be disappointed. We rented a pontoon from Dockside for a few days and used the provided mooring buoy, which worked out great. The house also came with 2 kayaks, 2 SUPs, cornhole boards, puzzles, games, firewood, and an awesome firepit near the water. You are within walking distance from a few restaurants and a very nice convenient store. We searched several properties before selecting this place...And after our trip, we all agreed it was the perfect choice! In fact, we have already reserved it for next year.

Extremely clean, great location and well stocked

We’ve owned our own rental vacation home and also rented over a dozen other homes. This home was one was the cleanest! It’s a beautiful updated home. We loved the location on Torch Lake. A restaurant, small market, small hardware store and marina were within a half mile walk. We rented a pontoon from Torch River Marina and appreciated the mooring buoy at the house. We used the 2 kayaks every morning. My husband also used the paddle board on the crystal clear calm lake. Torch Lake looks like the Caribbean Sea. It’s a beautiful color. From the house you also have a wonderful view of the brilliant orange sunrise and the cotton candy pink sky at sunset. From the house, you can see the boating activity at the sand bar that seems to be busiest on summer weekends between the hours of noon to sunset. All but 2 boats left every night at sunset and there was no noise at bedtime (noise was not disturbing during the day either). The lot also allowed quite a bit of privacy. The dock, fire pit (wood provided) and deck offered plenty of space to sit. Indoors, the home was stocked with more than most rental homes. If you look hard enough, you’ll usually find it. Keri was very helpful and responsive. Thanks to the owners for sharing their wonderful home with us. We enjoyed our visit.
