We invite you to spend a restful week in Northern Michigan on the third most beautiful lake in the world at our newly updated, comfortable family cottage on the lakefront. The first floor features a kitchen with all new appliances that has easy service from kitchen to dining area. The large family dining table easily accommodates 12 people for meals. The downstairs living/dining area has a stunning view of the lake with a window wall across the entire front of the house. You will love sitting at the table with your cup of coffee watching the lake every morning. The spacious living room has a stunning rock fire place with plenty of comfortable seating and blankets. There’s a smart tv with Apple TV attached for those cool evenings or rainy days and a cupboard full of board games for those who have a competitive spirit. Attached off the dining area is a sun porch with a door that can be closed. Perfect for those days you have to do some remote work or if you just need a quiet place to sit and read. The cottage has a spacious wrap around deck with furniture that is perfect for sitting and soaking in the sun and the view at all hours of the day. A hammock tucked under the trees overlooks the lake and is the best place for reading….or for taking a nap. An outdoor swing overlooks the dock and is a favorite place to sit and watch the sun go down while sipping on a glass of wine from a local winery. Your kids will love roasting marshmallows at the fire pit on chilly evenings. The lake is literally 50 feet from the front deck; there you have access to a small waterfront beach, a large sandbox with sand toys for the kids, a canoe, and a couple of poke boats. There’s also a dock with a bench and a tie-out anchor for your boat. The swimming is unparalleled as is boating, sailing, skiing, and tubing with your own boat. There are boat rental places around the lake and a few public boat launches if you decide to bring your own. Torch Lake is conveniently located close to Traverse City, Leelanau, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Charlevoix, and Petoskey. There are several very good hiking trails close by and the options for different day trips are endless. If golfing is your hobby there are 10 world-class golf courses within close driving distance. The local breweries, wineries, and restaurants feature delicious and unique food and drink. You definitely won’t want to miss out on the fresh fruit that changes with the seasons from the surrounding nearby orchards. Come experience the "Caribbean" of North America with a crystal clear lake and the best sunsets in Michigan. You'll be coming back for years to come. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Unit size: 2,375 square feet ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57800000/57793800/57793701/2bdfedca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torch Lake Family Friendly Lakefront Home - Prime Summer Weeks Available Central Lake - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 86 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=57793701&PinnedHotelID=57793701&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31390000/31386200/31386136/d32c1687.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Torch Lk Sunset~hot tub-Tennis/pklbl Crt~Kayaks/SUP~ Playset-firepit Bellaire - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.2 Wonderful 15 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=31386136&PinnedHotelID=31386136&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69830000/69826700/69826617/0de747f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Torch Lake Home - Cottage Feel w/ Over 4K Sq Ft, Nearby Premier Golf Kewadin - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=69826617&PinnedHotelID=69826617&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70960000/70950100/70950017/1df4aad1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Lakefront Cottage on Torch Lake - walking distance to Alden Alden - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=70950017&PinnedHotelID=70950017&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, table tennis, computer monitors](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30020000/30011900/30011832/99c4a6dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ON TORCH LAKE!
