About the host

Hosted by Dawn Cary

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased a home on Torch Lake in 1969 (right next to our cottage) where we raised our family until a fire consumed our home in 1984. We then sold the property in the late 80's, where a builder built two homes. I have lived in central Florida since the late 1980's. One of the homes came available for purchase in 2005 which we bought and I personally summer there. I had purchased the cottage in 2001 that is located next door for my family to vacation. When they are not using the cottage, we rent to people to allow them the unique experience of Torch Lake living. It is truly an experience everyone should have in their lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Lived on Torch Lake from 1970 through 1984 and then in Central Lake until 1987 where we relocated to central Florida to retire. Cottage became available for purchase in 2001, which was located next to where we lived.

What makes this property unique

Watching the beautiful sunsets; listening to the babbling creek during the night (with windows open); relaxing, sunbathing and swimming.
