Some of our family favorites include Torch lake wine cellars with a driving range, tennis courts and playground in Alden, a beer down at Short's in Bellaire, and roads trips to Charlevoix and Traverse City, both about 40 minutes away.
Back at the cottage, unwind in the cozy living room by the fireplace, challenge your friends to a game of ping pong on the deck, or start up a bonfire down by the lake. Prepare delicious meals in the fully stocked kitchen, complete with all the necessary appliances, utensils, spices, and coffee. Enjoy your meals al fresco on the outdoor dining set, or fire up the grill for a barbecue.
As the day winds down, relax on the dock while gazing at the stunning sunset lake views. Stay connected with the high-speed WiFi, or curl up with a good book.

We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for all of us, clean and comfortable. Maureen was always available by phone for every question we had. I would recommend this house for vacation.
House and property are amazing. There are so many different places and ways to relax on this property. This is a great location, with an easy drive to many dining and shopping options. On the lake, it is an easy boat ride to Clam River and Clam Lake which is a fun side adventure. The host is very friendly and helpful. She checked in with us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We really felt like cherished guests. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Everything thing we needed was right there! So much space indoors and outdoor. The amenities were plenty. Location was perfect. Maureen was the best host I’ve ever come across. Very personable, which is unheard of these days. My group is definitely planning on returning!
My family very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. The house had everything we needed. It was great to rent the Pontoon boat and Jet Skis available. The view is spectacular. Enjoyed the bonfire area and grill. Maureen was great to work with and answered any questions we had right away.
We had a great time on Torch Lake! The house was clean and very comfortable. Maureen was very responsive and thoughtful. We would definitely stay there again.
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!
Absolutely beautiful location and home was a dream! Plan on returning next year! Thank you for the beautiful memories and gorgeous views of the sunset!!
Had a amazing long weekend At Torch Lake!!
Our host Maureen was wonderful and the house is beautiful and very clean with a amazing dock and stunning sunset.
Thank you Maureen.
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!
Beautiful home with all amenities you would need. The host is extremely attentive and provides all the information you’ll need to enjoy your stay. The sunsets do not disappoint.
This property is well stocked with all you would need. Boat and seadoos are very new and reliable. It was like being in your own home. I would recommend this property to anyone. Wonderful time and Maureen was very cooperative and responsive when asked anything. Perfect place to take your family on vacation!
The beautiful house and property are exactly as described! We had the perfect vacation of activities and relaxation. Maureen is so easy to communicate with and genuinely wants you to have a wonderful time. We wouldn’t change a thing about our Torch Lake vacation.
My family had best time staying here. The cottage was perfect for our large group ranging in ages 10-81. It was comfortable and beautiful and the sunsets were incredible. Having access to kayaks, paddle boards and the boats was a dream. The owner was always available and super helpful. We would definitely come back!
5 stars - property is exactly as represented and Maureen is fantastic and very responsive. Shared house with2 families of all ages. Enough space and something for everyone to do. Have stayed multiple times and will continue to return.
