This is a quintessential up north Cottage, large main living room with the master bedroom and second bedroom with a queen bed on the Lake side of the house. The third bedroom is a smaller room with bunk beds and the 4th bedroom is a smaller room with a single twin bed in it. This is one of the few locations on all of Torch Lake that has a beautiful sandy beach with a very gradual slope into the water. At the end of the dock the water is only 2.5 - 3 feet deep. There will be a mooring ball in front of the cottage that you can keep a boat on. There is a shared laundry room with our other house next door that could be used in emergency but is technically not part of this cottage. Cottage come with Linens/towels and an almost full kitchen. The reason I saw "almost" is there is no disposal and the dishwasher is a small countertop dishwasher that can handle about half of a normal load. We do allow dogs here and the back yard is fully fenced in, however the fenced in area goes around both of our cottages making it somewhat of a shared space. For those looking to stay in the shoulder seasons the cottage there is base board heat for the the main living room and two bedrooms with queen beds, the other bedrooms have small portable electric heaters. There is no central AC, but there is the possibility for a small window A/C unit but I would only consider putting it in for a medical need. The hoist at the end of the dock is not part of the rental and is used to store my boat, and I will occasionally be using the dock to access the boat.
