With kids ranging from 12-5, the shallow waters directly in front of the property were perfect for our family. The home itself was perfectly sized for our family of five, giving everyone their own space while also providing nicely sized family spots. The house is incredibly quaint with many charming decorative touches. It brought back many memories of lake vacations from my own childhood. It’s also important to mention that this house comes incredibly well stocked for a rental. Every kitchen tool you could possibly need, and then-some, was available to us. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy Torch Lake! ##### Sarah K.

This home is on the south end of the lake and the lake is absolutely amazing. We swam each day in the clear water. Beach towels, water floats, and a paddle board were available too which was nice. The owner was helpful and responsive for our entire trip. When we could not access NBC to watch the Olympics, she signed up for Sling the same day to help. We visited the last week in July which happened to be the hottest of the summer. The lack of air conditioning was a drawback as the house was very hot, even with the fans. This would likely not be a problem if the temperatures were in the 70s. Also, the house has not been updated, so expect the feel of a cottage that hasn't changed much in decades. Updated towels and linens would be a good idea. It was clean and did have all the supplies we needed. ##### lgrypp Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jenny b.

Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Nightmare stay We were so excited to visit torch lake! Rented a boat for the week and drove 8 hours to vacation here. Arrived on a Saturday to mouse poop all over the kitchen counter, on dish-ware, along the floor in bedroom off the kitchen. Immediately reached out to the homeowner . No response from her until 8 hours later. Had to clean all of this up before we could use anything or even put our groceries away. The owner did text us at 2 AM letting us know she would have an exterminator come out on Monday… in the meantime we bought traps placed them in the kitchen and garage where they were coming in. After catching several mice, we decided to pack up and leave. We took the financial loss on our boat rental because unfortunately there were no other properties available to rent on the entire lake. The owner was far from polite or considerate. Stating that she had no control over there being mice in the house and acted like getting an exterminator 2 days later was acceptable. She only refunded us because VRBO finally stepped in as this was a health amd safety concern. ##### Danielle M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Theresa C.

Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family of 4 had the absolute best vacation thanks to this beautiful home, large dock and perfect South Torch Lake location. The property was so cozy, nicely appointed and had everything we needed with easy access to Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Alden, Bellaire and all of our favorite “up North” destinations. We’re grateful for the family memories we made and will definitely be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0220146f-5a01-4318-9a5a-744cd3bfc6ed-1755972540302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5e6bfb9c-510e-4148-97e3-4c1c2ad0d6a6-1755972531004.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0216dcdf-b657-423d-a64c-1b0e3ea7632e-1755972529884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0025b2a3-c350-4859-b770-cd1d16bbba3d-1755972528629.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sherrie K.

Everything was as we expected it to be. We had an amazing time! ##### Haley M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria L. Aug 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for Torch lake activities Rustic cottage with beautiful views and quiet location. Has updated living room furniture. Bedrooms in general could use an update but overall has what you need. No AC but fans throughout, still brought our own but has nice breeze from lake. Outstanding access to Torch lake, no stairs and somewhat of a slope to small beach and dock. Beautiful clear water, shallow, and sandy bottom with few rocks. Dock, mooring buoy, and boat hoist a definite plus for lake activities. On arrival, had issues with housekeeping chores not completed and previous renters did not take care of recyclables or put out trash and left items in frig which we had to deal with but housekeeping should have caught. Owner quickly responded to issues. Got chigger bites from the well known sandbar, as son didn’t go with us there and does not have one bite. Would consider renting again. ##### Victoria L.

We had a wonderful week at this property. Clean (but could use some updated linen), beds were comfortable, and plenty of fans (no AC!). The beach was great, but watch out for swimmer's itch. Do your homework before you go so you don't itch all week. The living room cabinet was stocked with puzzles and games. We rented a kayak and paddle board from Alden Marine & Sport. They were great! ##### Angela C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garrett K.

There were plenty of toys around for kids, easy login for the tv, and awesome patio to relax on. The sandy beach was perfect for sitting and readying withy your feet in the sand. The lake was perfect on a hot day. Beautiful ##### Garrett K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melisa N.

The kids had a great time and it was very relaxing for the adults. ##### Melisa N. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raechel K. Jun 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular spring sunsets and sunrises We really enjoyed our time at the property. It had a rustic feel and smelled of pine trees. I was very impressed with how clean it was when we arrived (with exception of one of the bedroom fans). We enjoyed all the changing conditions of the water and watching the sunset every night. It was too cold to swim when we came but we still enjoyed hanging out by the shore looking for rocks. The house was in the perfect location to be a home base to venture out to other places we wanted to explore such as Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Cheboygan, and Mackinac Island. We would definitely recommend this house. ##### Raechel K. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa W.

Alissa was great and stayed in contact with us when we had questions. I would definitely go back. ##### Melissa W. Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn C.

House was clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed having a yard big enough to play catch and volleyball. The water was perfect: sandy bottom and shallow super far out. It was like being at the sandbar but without the crowds. ##### Dawn C.
