Loved the place and the sunsets!

We absolutely loved our stay! The location was ideal, and the home itself—both indoors and out—was beautiful and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing getaway. The sunsets were truly spectacular, and having access to the pontoon boat made the experience even more special. We were able to explore the sandbar and see a whole new side of the lake, which was a highlight of the trip. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, from booking to check-out. We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Sunset Views on Torch Lake

The host Maureen is absolutely wonderful! We were concerned about the weather for our original dates, and she let us modify it to the following long weekend where we had beautiful 80 degree days full of sunshine. We also rented the Pontoon with her local tour guide and we didn't want it to end, it's an absolute must-do! Thank you so much Maureen, my family and I loved it!

Beware of the property manager

We would NOT recommend you rent this home. The property manager accuses renters of damage that was not caused by them. If you decide to rent, be sure to take lots of pictures of everything as soon as you check in so that you can defend yourself when claims of damage are made. Also, don’t even move one pillow or she will charge you. Finally, make sure you check the garbages as soon as you get there. We were told there are 3 bins of garbage we could use - come to find that all 3 were full when we got there and were never cleared during our stay. There was also old food in the refrigerators - expired Turkey, vegetables, fruits, etc….

Rent this house! What an amazing property. Everything we needed and more was at this house. The water is the clearest and most beautiful water I have seen.

Beautiful fall visit 10 stars out of 5!!!

Our family had an amazing time at this property. We were there in October for the fall colors, to visit Bellaire and to get out in nature. Waking up to those Torch lake views was perfection. We felt so pampered and lucky every day of our vacation. The home is huge, it’s set up for a group and is thoughtfully stocked with literally anything you may need. The kitchen was amazing, we were happy to stay in and cook. Maureen was an amazing host and has thought of it all for you. Great communication and goes above and beyond. She really cares and we wish we could always rent all properties from her. She gave us great suggestions for activities too. Thank you for a special fall getaway!

Amazing experience!

I can't say enough about how awesome my trip was. The house is perfect for anything from quiet retreat to family get togethers. The view was breath taking. Every day,I had a glass of wine at sunset on the dock listening the the waves, it was pure bliss. Maureen is such a wonderful and thoughtful host, she even connected me with her boat guy to give me a tour of the lake. I highly recommend Ballinagh to anyone looking for an incredible trip to a beautiful place.
