❤ Welcome to our cozy cottage ❤
Surrounded by nature on all sides and a short 2-minute walk to beautiful Torch Lake, famous for its Caribbean blue colors!
We have owned this cottage for 23 years; and just recently decided to share it with guests!
Our 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom log cottage is the perfect nature getaway to spend time with loved ones. Located on a double lot (100ft) with plenty of privacy, on-site parking, and nightly EV charging available. You'll find spacious grounds for little ones (or your furry ones!) to run around in the yard. There is a BBQ grill and picnic table where you can enjoy tasty meals. There is also a fire pit, perfect for sitting around and roasting S'mores after a long day spent bathing at the lake. One of our favorite yard features is the 4x8ft outdoor private shower with hot/cold water just 2 steps from the back door! It's great to rinse off from the lake and even better to shower at night under the stars!
We provide both a sit-in and sit-on-top kayaks AND a stand-up paddle board (SUP), and carts for easy transport to and from the lake PLUS other water toys.
Additionally, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, including corn hole, frisbee golf, horseshoes, hammocking, and more.
Indoors, you'll find a full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a living room featuring a 55-inch TV with FIBER internet (300GB) with access to Netflix, AppleTV, Disney+, and Hulu. There are also 2 local channels via an antenna. To fit the cozy cottage vibe, we also offer a DVR / VHS player with over 100 titles available! Plenty of seating options in the common areas make it perfect for quality time with your family or friends. The two bedrooms are right down the hall, each with its closet space and plenty of sunlight. The queen-sized bedroom with the twin bed features a 30" TV. If you want to unplug we also offer playing cards, games and puzzles.
This is a cottage, so prepare for an authentic cozy experience! Expect the charm of wooden interiors, an original stone fireplace, and decor that transports you back to simpler times. The cottage's unique features might include occasional visits from friendly woodland critters, and an essential approach to modern amenities. Enjoy the fresh forest air, the soothing sounds of wildlife, and the clear night skies perfect for stargazing. Our cozy cottage promises a memorable escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a true retreat for you and your loved ones while still providing high speed access to the rest of the world, if needed.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Parry Eckman
Hello, we are Parry & Chris. Our cottage has been in our family for 2 generations. It is truly part of us! While we are renting it to offset costs, our primary reason is to let other families experience and enjoy a log cottage, a phenomenal lake, walks in the woods and all the other great family experiences we have enjoyed over the years. We want your time with us to be special. We are always thrilled to share travel ideas - just ask!
Why they chose this property
My grandparents purchased a cottage on this cul-de-sac over 80 years ago. 4 generations of my family have vacationed on the street and some form of family owns 6 of the cottage on the street now. Thus, I have memories for my whole life on this street and it is just a special today as when I was a kid.
What makes this property unique
We are a retired couple living our best years who wanted to offer others the chance to enjoy our cottage and create memories. We have shared many moments at our cottage with our family and now that our family has grown and aren't available to use it as often as we had in the past we've decided to share it and generate some income. We are offering our cottage for a reasonable rate. Our goal is to have great renters who relish their experience and leave 5 star reviews.
