About the host
Hosted by Tori Zbytowski
We are a family owned short term rental. Both of us grew up enjoying the lakes of Northern Michigan where we are lucky enough to raise our 3 boys.
Some of Tori’s best memories were made on the North end of Torch Lake, which led us to want to share that same experience with others by providing a safe, quiet and comfortable home.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is safe and hosts both year round and seasonal homes. There are multiple public access points along the Torch Lake Sandbar and a few boat launches nearby.
What makes this property unique
Our home has a fenced in back patio area for privacy and enjoyment.
