We had the most wonderful stay at this Torch Lake home! The house itself was spacious, very clean, and felt perfectly homey and welcoming. Every detail made it easy to settle in and relax. The location is unbeatable—quiet and peaceful, with stunning lake views. Our days were filled with paddle boarding on the crystal-clear water, napping and reading under the trees, and enjoying coffee each morning while watching the sunrise from the dock. The evenings were just as magical, with breathtaking sunsets over the lake. It was the perfect anniversary getaway for us—an opportunity to unwind, recharge, and simply enjoy the beauty of nature without distractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommended!

Property is exactly like the pictures. Very clean and comfortable. So much to do locally! Beautiful small towns nearby. Good restaurants and also everything you need to cook at home. We enjoyed every minute and will be back again. Michelle was great to work with!

Pros: The location is great! The beds were very comfy, and there’s lots of premium TV channels. We had a lot of fun ringing in the new year here! Cons: There wasn’t enough filtered water for our stay. If you plan on staying more than one night, I recommend bringing your own water, as the well water had a strong taste and smell. The kitchen is stocked, but the appliances are very old. For example, the coffee maker and crockpot were broken and didn’t work, and the pots can’t withstand high-heat cooking. The cast irons were not ready to use. The listing advertised a fireplace, but when we asked about it, the owner informed us it hadn’t passed inspection and that when she tried starting a fire herself it filled the whole house with smoke. We were about to start a fire, and it could have ended very badly. There wasn’t a fire extinguisher under the sink as described. The place has a cozy, rustic charm, but it didn’t feel worth the price and communication could have been better.
