Charming Torch Lake 3-bedroom 1 bath one floor Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Great home."

Torch Lake Sandbar Directly Across The Street With Outdoor Dock Slip Unit B

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay over Labor Day weekend. The property is very well-appointed with everything you'd need to cook in and self-entertain! Places like this make it so much easier to pack when you don't need to plan for the "what-ifs." I may actually prefer not being directly on the bigger body of water (with beautiful Torch Lake just across the street) to take advantage of the access to the paddle boards and kayaks. The launch ramp was sweet! We had a great time and topped it off with a very fairly priced pontoon boat rental from the property on Monday and were able to cruise all over Torch Lake. Meagan was very easy to reach and we felt like we were on top of everything throughout the process. We are already planning to return next year and are grateful for our accommodating and considerate guests! Thank you!"
