Our family had a great time at “granny’s cottage” as my kids would call it. We adventured to sleepy bear dunes and Mackinac island but my kids mostly wanted to hang out at the cottage and be on the water! We loved the firepit and having the windows open and listening to the lake. The sunsets were beautiful. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

We loved staying at Grandma's cottage with our two toddlers. Things we enjoyed were picking rocks, the trails in the woods, bonfires, and beautiful views of the torch lake. The activities we did were the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Lavander Hill Farms, and going to Mackinac Island. If you have kids, Friske Farm Market and King Orchards has a great place to play. We really enjoyed our time here. Thank you for sharing your space with us.

Great cottage on a gorgeous lake

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Grandma’s Cottage! The home included everything we needed for our week, plus had a fabulous outdoor area for enjoying the lake. I also loved jogging through the woods every morning.

Great Spot on Torch Lake

Cabin is as advertised and perfect for a getaway on torch lake. It was very well stocked with all the essentials you'd need. Boating can be challenging as its located on the eastern shore and gets lots of wind and is long ride to other lakes and sand bar but still great time

Great spot on the lake!

The place suited our needs inside and out. The layout of the home and exterior space is designed to get maximum views and use of beautiful Torch Lake. Loved it! Lisa was very attentive leading up to and during check in. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
