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!!

Perfect Torch Lake Lodging
You'd be hard pressed to find better lodging for a Torch Lake vacation. Across the street is a little/park beach where you can get a nice view of the lake, play in the water or even walk out to the sandbar. Next to the property is a public launch you can use to launch the provided kayaks to explore in the back canal. As many others have mentioned, the top deck is fantastic for hanging out, grilling, eating, drinking or just enjoying the fire. The owners promised further upgrades in the interior but it was perfectly fine as is. You can tell they care about their property and the experience they are providing with the well-equipped kitchen and decorative touches including indoor plants. But the biggest draw for me was the included covered boat slip. It's in a very calm bay so you don't have to worry about the heavy waves that sometimes come to Torch Lake and there's no need to cover the boat. We rented both apartments for 6 people. 6 people in one would be very crowded. I'd probably only attempt that with young kids. We lucked out with the weather. Got a little rain/overcast for two days but had warm, sunny weather five days. Lots of memories were made.

Great Place to Stay!
We loved our stay at the Upper Deck. We had a larger group and rented both sides. The addition of the upper deck adds an amazing amount of space to hang out. The location is perfect - especially for those with a boat. The boat garage is 2 steps behind the cottage! We will definitely be coming back!
