NEW Modern Torch Lake Retreat w/Hidden Speakeasy: Golf Sim/Theater/Hot Tub&Games
Welcome to Wild Pine at Torch Lake - A Newly Redesigned Luxury Experience
Nestled among towering pines near legendary Torch Lake, we've thoughtfully transformed this retreat into the perfect blend of contemporary comfort and rustic charm. Modern design meets laid-back fun in this uniquely entertaining getaway.
ACCOMMODATION & ESSENTIALS
Get ready for an unforgettable escape in this 4-bedroom Torch Lake getaway that comfortably sleeps groups of up to 12 (or 14 with an additional sleeper sofa)! This newly renovated, pet-friendly (up to two dogs welcome) and kid-friendly retreat is located just minutes from Torch Lake and endless northern Michigan adventures.
Your group will rest comfortably with one king bed, 5 queen beds in the remaining bedrooms, and a sleeper sofa in the finished basement. The 3 fully-equipped bathrooms include hairdryers and are stocked with premium shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for your convenience.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a gas range oven, air fryer microwave, toaster, dishwasher, refrigerator with filtered water and ice, blender, and all essential cookware and serving pieces. Enjoy morning coffee at the dedicated coffee station, complete with tea kettle and various brewing options.
ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAORDINAIRE
The star of the show is our hidden speakeasy featuring a 100" screen movie theater with comfortable theater seating, a karaoke lounge setup with microphones and guitar, and a high-tech golf simulator for virtual rounds on famous courses. This unique space creates an unforgettable entertainment experience not found in typical vacation rentals.
The vintage sports-themed bar area features authentic memorabilia, a regulation pool table, comfortable seating, a sleeper sofa, and its own cozy fireplace for the perfect après-ski gathering spot. Challenge friends at the poker table, air hockey, or classic arcade games including PacMan, Buck Hunter, and more in our dedicated arcade loft. For quieter evenings, choose from our collection of board games and cards for everyone. The stunning custom stonework fireplace in the living room adds warmth and ambiance to indoor gatherings.
OUTDOOR PARADISE
Step outside to discover multiple thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces perfect for relaxation and entertainment. The spacious deck features a gas fire pit with ample seating, while the yard offers a traditional wood fire pit perfect for s'mores and stargazing. Challenge family to outdoor games like cornhole (bags) and giant Connect 4 on the lawn.
After adventure-filled days, relax in the outdoor hot tub or rejuvenate in the indoor sauna while soaking in nature's sounds. The outdoor dining area comfortably accommodates your entire group of 12, and the 4-burner grill makes outdoor cooking a breeze. Photo-worthy spots abound throughout the property, both inside and out.

Mother’s Day
Everything was set up real nice and completely clean. Nice amenities. There was a few issues we had with the property:1. Hot water flow was very inconsistent and would go from lukewarm to warm.2. Could have had a better quality dish soap, it was very difficult to clean cookware, no grease cutting.3. Could have used additional kitchen towels.4. Water pressure needs to be increased.5. Could have used some throw blankets for watching movies.I seen there is some work being done on the property, I could be of help in this area as well as correcting the issues mentioned. Our daughter lives very close. The space worked very well for our dinners and lunchin. Thanks,Jim

Perfect Weekend Away
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely property for a short weekend getaway, and it was exactly what I needed for a peaceful and rejuvenating break. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how serene the area is—surrounded by nature, yet close enough to explore local spots. The house itself was a true gem—cozy, inviting, and impeccably clean.What I loved most was the feeling of being at home. The living room was so comfortable that we spent hours just drinking, chatting and playing board games. The kitchen was well-stocked, which made it easy to prepare food (bring Baileys!) The outdoor patio was another highlight. We spent some time in the evening enjoying wine as the sun set over the lake. Looking forward to experiencing more activities on the lake when the weather is warmer.The hosts were incredibly thoughtful and responsive. They made sure we had everything we needed and even gave us great recommendations for local hikes and activities. It’s clear they care deeply about creating a welcoming space for guests. For a relaxing weekend away, this property was perfect and I would absolutely return!
