There are many different styles of homes along Torch Lake, but there are few that have the cozy yet luxurious appeal of “Gentle Spirit,” a truly exceptional home that stands out from the rest. What’s amazing about Gentle Spirit is that it feels like a classic Michigan cottage and yet it provides vacationers with an expansive 4,500 square-feet of living space and five fully-outfitted bedrooms that make it easy to sleep 10 members of your friends and family. The aesthetic of Gentle Spirit is tranquil, calming, and beautiful, but it also offers every amenity that a traveler could want. A fireplace, a stocked modern kitchen, six bathrooms, Wi-Fi, smart TVs with cable, washer/dryer, and almost anything else you need. But let’s not forget about Gentle Spirit’s true appeal—it’s location. This custom-built home sits on the banks of Michigan’s largest inland land by depth and volume, a lake that’s world-famous for its crystal-clear waters that make it look like you’re in the Caribbean. Visitors to Gentle Spirit can sit outside on the property’s expertly maintained deck and lakeshore, taking in the majesty of one of Michigan’s true natural wonders. You can take your boat out from the pristine dock or just sit alongside the dock’s edge and dangle your feet into the glacial waters. Gentle Spirit's dock offers you one 6,000 lb capacity pontoon boat hoist, which can take pontoons up to 27 feet in length. We also have a mooring line for your use as well. Every aspect of the home is equal parts comfortable and immaculate. Properties like this—on this exclusive lakefront—can be hard to come by. You will not find a better or more welcoming place to enjoy Torch Lake than Gentle Spirit. Gentle Spirit is a short drive from wineries, Short’s Brewery, Elk Rapids, Traverse City, and local golf, hiking, and sporting locations. It’s in a perfect vacation location, but what you’ll never forget about this 4,500-square-foot lakefront property is how it allows you to experience Torch Lake in such an intimate setting. There are only a handful of “Spirit” homes in the Torch Lake area—all owned by the same family who have spent decades building some of the most astonishing vacation homes in Michigan. Don’t miss this rare chance to spend some time at Gentle Spirit and have the vacation of a lifetime. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 5.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Windsurfing 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 ### General - Garden - Unit size: 4,500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69370000/69366300/69366232/146bd970.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Torch Lake Home - Lakefront Vacation Paradise Kewadin - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 21 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=69366232&PinnedHotelID=69366232&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76430000/76421300/76421229/1b825bd2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Executive Waterfront Home in Elk Rapids on Lake Michigan Williamsburg - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=76421229&PinnedHotelID=76421229&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, video games, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65810000/65806200/65806183/d9f0f268.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Torch Lake Lodge - 4 Floors of Luxury, 8 Bedrooms, Private Dock Kewadin - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=65806183&PinnedHotelID=65806183&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107770000/107769300/107769274/4b71c8cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torch lake waterfront:100 ft of sandy beach, 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage Alden - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 8.0 Very good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-26&endDate=2025-12-27&selected=107769274&PinnedHotelID=107769274&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 26 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Please read the House Rules found inside the Welcome Booklet upon arrival.

Would consider staying again Overall we had a great time. I didn’t realize the number of stairs on the property which I should have asked. A few rooms had incomplete paint jobs. The kitchen faucet needs to be replaced. Door off the kitchen lock needs fixing. Electrical wires exposed on ground. The ceiling it bowing on the outside deck. Cosmetically for the price, we expected more. The lay out, # of bathrooms, dock system, hoist, garage, and the amount of room was all great! The property manager Cody was awesome. The maintenance team did a great job maintaining the grounds while we we there. You barely even noticed them. The property felt private and secluded! We would come back. It was a great trip. ##### Kim B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Daniel A. Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location, not particularly clean Awesome location right on the lake, just as advertised. However, some pretty inexpensive furniture upgrades would go a long way - the deck furniture on the patio and out by the water was mostly broken, pretty dirty, and just felt cheap - wouldn’t take much to make it a lot more pleasant. Overall though, can’t beat this location if you’re looking to be on the water at torch. ##### Daniel A. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen P.
