Can't get any better than this property

Everything about this location is PHENOMENAL. Beautiful property both inside and out. Everything you need is there. Clean, stocked and location to the sandbar is right across the street. We rented both units for 4 couples and it was just perfect. We will definitely return next year. Thank you for hosting us.

Wonderful Little Getaway

Loved our stay! The location was excellent, literally steps from a public access beach and the house was cozy and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our family of three (2 adults and a 4 year old). Only suggestion I have for other guests would be to back into your parking spots to make it easier to get out. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, beautiful house!

We stayed here for our 20th anniversary. The house is very nice, clean, and updated. The boathouse was so cute and the convenience of having our boat right at the house was awesome. The owners also have a boat available to rent if needed. The upper deck area is very nice and great place to grill, have drinks, and enjoy great views and people watching. The owners have done a great job with this and we will definitely be back!

Fantastic as advertised

The owners are fantastic people. Very helpful and courteous. Perfect location to visit the beauty of Torch Lake. Kayaks are free and a must to truly appreciate the lake. The area is filled with helpful friendly people. Lots of places to eat all in short distance to where you're staying. Lots of gluten-free options for those of you with celiac. If you're visiting this area I could not recommend anything more charming and well kept.

Lots of Amenities

This was our first stay using VRBO and on Torch Lake. It was a great experience. There were many amenities available for our stay. Public access to the water was just across the street too. Overall we were thrilled at the cleanliness and the communication from the property manager. We will be returning in the future!

Ryan and Joy have hit it out of the park on this waterfront renovation. (Meagan great job at facilitating the rental management process, Adam thanks for the suggestions and help over the week) Everything you need for an exceptional "Caribbean of the North" experience is at your finger tips. Boat owners this is the one for you, your watercraft will be 10 steps away in a covered boat house on calm water. I can't stress enough about how convenient this was for our family, NO stress of waiting your turn, battling wind, putting cover on/off ...etc. Just jump in and go!Location, you are in the heart of the Torch lake experience...world renowned sand bar is across the street and 10 minutes away by your boat that is out the back door. You'll have two reserved parking spots and a convenient place down the road to park your boat trailer. Ok, lastly... I mentioned the renovation, it goes above and beyond expectations. The 2 bedroom 1 bath works well for 6 people, just have to remind the teenagers to respect others with the bathroom time!!! Let's be honest you don't go to Torch Lake to hangout inside, right. So, back to discussing the outside spaces. The boat house, "priceless" if you love being on the water. The owners also have pontoons for rent if you don't have your own. The rooftop deck was one our favorite hangout spots, we ate, drank and played cards up there at the covered bar area. If you like being outside and want your boat in the water this one is for you!
