Great vacation spot
My family and I stayed at this property in July. My grandkids loved playing at the dock and it was a great spot for watching the sunset. The kayaks and water mat added to the fun. The cabins are very close together which worked great for us. The property owners live just a few yards away from the cabins and they were extremely helpful if we needed anything. We rented a pontoon boat and Donna contacted the rental company to help us work out some minor issues we were having. We will definitely come back.

Rustic
The property has many amenities and the owners are very nice. The large house in the picture is the owner’s home and they are a presence on the property while you are there. The small rustic cabins are close to the road.

Amazing Property with Beautiful views of Torch Lake
Donna was so easy to communicate with, quick to respond to my many questions. Cottages were quaint and stocked with everything one would need for a wonderful week on Torch Lake with extended family. The property itself is stunning with beautiful gardens, waterfall, amazing sunsets from the top of property. Down the hill is play set, hot tub and tennis court. It has a small beach area which was shallow enough for grandkids and the water is crystal clear. We rented a pontoon boat all week from Dockside Water Sports and visited the sandbar which was amazing. It really seemed we were somewhere in the Caribbean as the water had so many shades of blue. Hoping to return someday, Torch Lake is certainly a gem! Thanks again to the Green’s for sharing their cottages with us.

Lovely Family Vacation
It was our first time at Torch Lake and we had an incredible experience. The property's grounds were amazing, with breathtaking multi-level views for the adults and an abundance of activities for the kids. The gardens were exquisite. The kids loved the sandy beach and lilypad. We made smores while watching the sun set over the lake. The hosts were very welcoming and truly enjoy sharing their piece of paradise with others. We will definitely be back.

Fabulous property
When the property that our 5-household extended family had rented to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary fell through- this spot opened up and it was beyond amazing. A beautiful setting with every amenity you could ask for. The beach, playground and magic water carpet were perfect for little kiddos and the grounds were also fun to explore. Donna and Jeff were incredibly hospitable, especially by graciously accommodating some of the activities we had planned for our full family to celebrate my parents. We loved it so much we booked again for next year with the house on the adjacent property so additional family households could join on-site for the full week.
