The house was comfortable for our stay. It is close to many tourist attractions (Bellaire, Alden, winery, lakes).I would recommend bringing extra portable fans to use when the weather is warm.

Welcoming Property

Lovely and spacious home in wooded surroundings just off Torch Lake. Beautiful decks that are open and the area right off the back slider has beautiful loungers to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Spacious bedrooms and open layout create a wonderful home experience. Large kitchen with many amenities to make our stay very pleasant. The home was a perfect place to just relax and enjoy Northern Michigan.

Beautiful Rental

The house and property not only met but exceeded our expectations. It's in a great neighborhood, with great views and only a short walk down to the lake. The listing was accurate, and indeed, we were actually more impressed with the house in person. The house was well-stocked, it was clean, and the owner was very responsive. Would definitely recommend this property. It's the type of place we will come back to.

Quiet location just outside of Bellaire.

We only had a few nights stay in the Torch Lake area, and this home was one of a few that could accommodate our larger party of 6. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen roomy, info from property manager was great. It is 5 minutes away from Bellaire, which has lots of cute shops and restaurants. We rented a Pontoon boat that we were able to pickup right in Bellaire - HOWEVER, please note: In order to get to Torch Lake from Bellaire via boat, you have to drive through the chain lakes river systems, thru Lake Bellaire, through Crab Lake and then finally to Torch Lake. It took us almost 2 hours. Some things that took away from giving it all 5 stars: -The view of Torch Lake is a little slit through the trees. If you want to see the whole lake, you need to walk down the road to the public area, which we did do. There is no beach, just stairs down to the water. It's very rocky, but not impossible if your kids are willing. -There is no A/C in the house. I wasn't specifically looking for this, just assumed it would have it, but it does not. Unfortunately, it was humid while we were there and the house was stuffy. They do provide lots of fans, which we utilized. -There is only one bathroom, and it is older, and the bathroom door sticks very badly. I would guess it is from the humidity. You cannot open or close it all the way without some pretty hard force. It makes it hard not to wake everyone else up in the morning. The woods are very pretty & quiet!

Beautiful Torch Lake Home

This home was perfect for our torch Lake getaway. We really enjoyed how clean the house was. There was everything that we needed for our home away from home. We really enjoyed cooking dinner over the campfire and a view that overlooked the Lake through the trees
