Lots of Amenities

This was our first stay using VRBO and on Torch Lake. It was a great experience. There were many amenities available for our stay. Public access to the water was just across the street too. Overall we were thrilled at the cleanliness and the communication from the property manager. We will be returning in the future!

Fantastic as advertised

The owners are fantastic people. Very helpful and courteous. Perfect location to visit the beauty of Torch Lake. Kayaks are free and a must to truly appreciate the lake. The area is filled with helpful friendly people. Lots of places to eat all in short distance to where you're staying. Lots of gluten-free options for those of you with celiac. If you're visiting this area I could not recommend anything more charming and well kept.

Wonderful Little Getaway

Loved our stay! The location was excellent, literally steps from a public access beach and the house was cozy and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our family of three (2 adults and a 4 year old). Only suggestion I have for other guests would be to back into your parking spots to make it easier to get out. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, beautiful house!

We stayed here for our 20th anniversary. The house is very nice, clean, and updated. The boathouse was so cute and the convenience of having our boat right at the house was awesome. The owners also have a boat available to rent if needed. The upper deck area is very nice and great place to grill, have drinks, and enjoy great views and people watching. The owners have done a great job with this and we will definitely be back!

Must Stay

Since we travel a lot we get to stay all over. This was a fantastic experience. Booking was easy and excellent communication from the host. Check-in instructions were clear and made the process easy. Beautiful accommodations with lots of little details that made the stay feel thoughtful and very welcoming. Loved the location! On the other side of the road is Torch Lake and the Sandbar is right here. The backside is on the river side. We enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!!
