Our trip to torch lake was an incredible one! The house was beautiful and clean and had everything we needed. The location to the public access was right across the street from the house which made it easy to spend time on the lake! Daniel, the host, was available whenever we needed him! Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit torch lake!

The home was perfect and stocked for everyday use. The location was in an excellent location close to Alden and Rapid City and a short scenic drive to Bellaire. The deck was amazing with the fire table, extra fridge space for our beverages and the Blackstone grill (we didn’t use as we ate out each night). The hosts were amazing communicators and easy to get answers.

Great spot on Torch Lake

The location and accommodations are perfect. The beach and park are across the street. Shopping, dining, and fun are just minutes via walking distance or a short drive. Daniel’s home had everything we wanted and needed. I highly recommend this home and owner.

Amazing Vacation

Excellent family getaway! House was as great as advertised. Very clean, had everything we needed. LOVED the back patio perfect for our family of 6 to cook, eat or just relax. Nice fire pit area. Walking distance to the lake, a quick drive to wine country. Excellent communication with the owners prior to our visit. Thank you so much for a memorable family vacation!!!

The property is perfect. Beds are so comfy, my husband and I slept really well. Everything was what we needed and wanted. Daniel exceeded our expectation in hosting our week vacation. He left recommendations of restaurants and things to do around town. We went to every spot and loved it. This was the most relaxing vacation I have been on and would definitely book the home again. Its a beautiful spot and home.

The home was very well equipped with everything and more that a family would need. The home was very clean and close proximity to the lake and the small town of Alden. We would recommend this home to others. The owner was very responsive and great to deal with. Thanks for a nice vacation!

The house was close to the sand bar and restaurants, so a perfect location for visiting torch lake. The only downfall was the mattress in the master bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. Felt like I was sleeping on the floor. My family had no issues with the other two bedrooms. Would stay here again.

Perfection

This home is amazing, it had every comfort and anything anyone would need. I couldn’t get over how spotless it was. Right across the street is lake access, cute Alden town to right, short drive to sandbar. Loved the fire-pit, black stone, deck, decor esp bathrooms.

A Must Stay!

A group of girlfriends booked this property for a weekend away in Torch Lake. We could not have been happier with the house. It was incredibly clean, beds comfortable, kitchen stocked with everything we could possibly need, walkable to the lake, and an unbeatable outdoor deck area. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to my relentless questions as we planned our trip. If you're ever planning a trip to Torch Lake, this house is a must stay!

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts!

The home was beautiful - the back patio being our favorite hangout spot to play games and listen to music. We were welcomed with a thoughtful gift for the bonfire - nice touch! Communication was great and the whole checkin and checkout process was a breeze. Right across the street from Torch Lake, a small skip to the cute little town of Alden, and 10 min from Dockside Watersports. Relaxing place to be!
