🪢 Torch River Retreat: 3BDR Home /w Dock - Minutes to the Sandbar
Occupancy # 10 Guests (Adults & kids)
This home sings contemporary on the aquamarine. Arguably one of the purest and most gorgeous turquoise, sandy bottom rivers in Northern Michigan with direct access to Torch & the chain of lakes; what a wonderful location. It sleeps large groups of up to 10 for families or friends or both! We can only say that experiences here procure beauty and fun - it's easy to get lost in the moment.
The home is very well-fitted - you won't need much other than groceries. There are boat & watersport rentals very nearby, and you'll have access to the dock outside of off-season months. This is a dream for one of the most beautiful quintessential Northern Michigan experiences. We absolutely love it here; we're sure you will too!
*We welcome you to our lovely peaceful home. While we want nothing more than you to create memories and have a fantastic stay, this neighborhood is made up of peoples tranquil havens - we just ask that while respecting that for them, you make it yours too.
*Fun fact: Swimming is great for all ages! Tying a little thin material floaty has been a favorite. The Torch Lake Sand bar is just a few minutes away, too, which is just fantastic, and Skegemog and Torch are both connected by this river!
--------- There are two cameras. One that faces the driveway and one that faces the water and dock. These cameras are solely for security purposes. They are not to be tampered with. If you have reasons that you would like them to be turned off please reach out to Near North to discuss this request.

The sprinklers run once per day between 7 am and 9 am. Please do not tamper with the sprinkler equipment or sprinkling pump, including but not limited to turning off the sprinkler system, unplugging the sprinkler pump (located by the dock), or covering sprinklers so they are not able to water effectively.

My stay
I tired contacting host and never got a single response about docking my boat and management team was very rude when a neighbor called in about a flag we had and left me a nasty message which I’d love to share but anyways I removed flag as they asked but this handled very poorly and unprofessional causing my stay not entirely enjoyable

Torch River
The house was not fully equipped with towels, soap.
The drawers in the kitchen were filthy. The kitchen chairs were falling apart and are clearly a hazard - an accident waiting to happen. The rental agreement states that they will charge you for one cigarette butt outside. Yet there were at least 10 there when we arrived. Overall cleanliness 👎 I could go on and on. An email will be sent outlining our issues. Two different families showed up as they had booked through Expedia - one did not speak much English and we “hosted” each family for hours while they straightened everything out. Then we were Adair’s to leave the property unattended because we weren’t sure if the overbooked family could get access to the home and our belongings inside.

Perfect placement
The location was great. The house was pretty great. We had a great week there.
The house could have been cleaned better. We found dirty underwear in a drawer, someones birth control in a room and the dishes were dirty. The dresser in one of the rooms was full of junk that made it where we couldn’t use the drawers. We also had to replace the batteries in tv remotes. The fact that we never got a response from the management company on why there was not a shower curtain in the shower and why the listing said part of the amenities there was a kayak/Canoe, but there wasn’t any. The dock had a large rock standing next to the steps into the river that fell multiple times almost falling on us.
There was a camera on the back deck and I know it was for the owner to keep an eye on his dock but we had young girls with us and there were uncomfortable with a camera on them while they were in the yard. We covered the camera and got a message that we needed to uncover it. I called at least six times to talk to management. I only got one call back and was told they would get answers to my questions but never gave them.
Overall it was a great week. Thank you.

Great cottage on beautiful Torch River
Beautifully updated cottage on the Torch River. Location on the river is fantastic and the house has lots of great outdoor spaces for family and friends.
Only con was the listing mentioned a King and there were only Queen beds. AC also was underpowered for a house of that size. Vaulted ceiling made it very hard to cool the house, especially the upstairs loft and bedroom.
