It was a bit cold this week in June, so we didn't spend much time down by the water. The heat worked well but the furnace is quite loud, so consider that if you are visiting during cooler months. The location is convenient to traveling into Bellaire for shopping and meals. Communication was great and the cottage was very clean and comfortable. ##### david k.

We stayed for the second time at this beautiful cottage. It's the perfect spot for a relaxing and fun week at one of the most beautiful lakes ever. This time we brought our boat, which we moored. The mooring ball is in about 5' of water, so it's a short swim, but a secure place to keep the boat. We enjoyed all the place offers - canoe, fire pit, picnics on the lawn, coffee on the deck, sunsets on the dock. We hope to return yet again! ##### Elizabeth P.

We loved it!!! The weather was a bit mixed, and the lake was chilly. Beach is nice sloping sand and the grassy side yard was perfect for our dogs. The beds comfortable and listening to the creek as we were sleeping was soothing. The only wish list we had was not being able to dock a boat overnight. The cottage only has a mooring buoy. This end of Torch Lake is peaceful and quiet and about a 30 minute boat ride to the sandbar. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and are hoping to book again next year. ##### Marianne S.

Cottage interior needs updating. Back screen door broken, pull out sofa bed broken and non-functional, kitchen needs updating. Additionally, there was a miscommunication on their end which was handled poorly by the owner and caretaker. Very disappointed and won’t be staying here again. ##### Jill K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison V. 14 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely old school cottage. This is a well-kept little cottage in a great location on the east side of Torch Lake. The lot is well-landscaped and lovely, with a great little side-yard on one side, and a babbling stream on the other. The exterior of the house appears relatively recently refreshed with what appears to be fresh paint, shutters, stone work, and decking. The inside is old school with wood paneling, linoleum, and formica. We really liked it, but for those who need an updated kitchen, etc., maybe not the best choice. The description says it sleeps 7, but that would be very tight. ##### Allison V.

Did not get a quick response and was not informed if it was ever fixed. Disappointing since all of our meals revolved around the grill. ##### Maureen R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Stacy C. 17 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mid July We stayed here for a week in mid July. The place is great in all aspects, clean and comfortable. Beautiful property. Everything we were hoping for. Our downfall was that the owners were in town while we were there, nice people, however they accessed the property multiple times during our stay, which is not something we expected. we'd round the corner in the yard and people would be unexpectedly accessing the garage...They also used "our" dock (which we did receive a heads up on a couple of the times, but not all) due to their hoist being broke down a few houses down. Unfortunately between the 2 it did disturb our peace a bit and made our stay seem less private so that was a bummer. Despite that, we would stay again. ##### Stacy C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ed S. 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Getaway Property inside was outdated. Cabin had well water, which is fine and expected, except that it was rusty when you took the shower you smelled like rust had to buy bottled water to make tea and coffee. The screens were inefficient and let bugs in the house. Food in cabinets expired. Furnace sounded like a jet engine. Ceiling near the furnace had water damage and was painted over smelled like mold. Would have loved a lighter and fire starter for outside campfire. Overall outside deck and dock water access was wonderful. Friendly neighbors. Quiet and beautiful sunsets. Outside area well maintained. A few interior updates would make it perfect. ##### Ed S.
