On the "Caribbean of the North".
Arguably one of the clearest sandy bottom rivers we've come across. Being minutes from the Sandbar, this retreat is the perfect place to call home for the ultimate Northern Michigan experience.

About this property

🪢 Torch River Retreat: 3BDR Home /w Dock - Minutes to the Sandbar

Occupancy # 10 Guests (Adults & kids)

This home sings contemporary on the aquamarine. Arguably one of the purest and most gorgeous turquoise, sandy bottom rivers in Northern Michigan with direct access to Torch & the chain of lakes; what a wonderful location. It sleeps large groups of up to 10 for families or friends or both! We can only say that experiences here procure beauty and fun - it's easy to get lost in the moment.

The home is very well-fitted - you won't need much other than groceries. There are boat & watersport rentals very nearby, and you'll have access to the dock outside of off-season months.
This is a dream for one of the most beautiful quintessential Northern Michigan experiences. We absolutely love it here; we're sure you will too!

*We welcome you to our lovely peaceful home. While we want nothing more than you to create memories and have a fantastic stay, this neighborhood is made up of peoples tranquil havens - we just ask that while respecting that for them, you make it yours too.

*Fun fact: Swimming is great for all ages! Tying a little thin material floaty has been a favorite. The Torch Lake Sand bar is just a few minutes away, too, which is just fantastic, and Skegemog and Torch are both connected by this river!

Great cottage on beautiful Torch River
Beautifully updated cottage on the Torch River. Location on the river is fantastic and the house has lots of great outdoor spaces for family and friends. Only con was the listing mentioned a King and there were only Queen beds. AC also was underpowered for a house of that size. Vaulted ceiling made it very hard to cool the house, especially the upstairs loft and bedroom.
