Waterfront Home With The Best views of Torch Lake

Get away from all your chaos and come relax at our cottage located on Torchlake in Northern Michigan. Located 40 min North of Traverse city and 5 min from Central Lake this lovely lakefront cottage sleeps 8 with 2 bathrooms.
Torch lake is known for nature activities including hiking, canoeing, fishing and diving. National Geographic rated Torch lake the 3rd most beautiful lake in the world . This quiet area is a nature-lovers paradise. Torch Lake is much quieter than most Michigan lakes.

This house also has a deck off the back with seating and a gas grill. This allows for wonderful outdoor cooking and dining while enjoying the beauty of the lake. There is a driveway that easily accommodates up to 4 vehicles.

Michelle is a great host.

The property is on the north side of the lake. If you like things to be a bit quieter then this is the place for you. We had plenty of room for our family of six.

My family and I stayed here for a week, wanting access to Torch Lake for the sailing regatta we were in town for. The house provided a great gathering location and place to create great memories! The deck by the water was our favorite place to hang out, with the most incredible sunsets!

Beautiful location. We have never stayed anywhere that didn't furnish AC, an ironing board & iron, and outlets that included 3 prongs or a dock that you couldn't dock your boat to. When I contacted the owner about the AC not working (the thermostat stated heat or cool), I was informed thete was no AC and that no one ever complained because it is cooler by the lake. Told to just open the windows. We opened all the windows, turned on every fan and it was still 80 inside the house 6 days later! Later, we noticed that we were being watched through a camera outside.
