Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by GM

Gary's family is one of the oldest families on the lake. His Grandfather was a Presbyterian Minister in Bartlesville Oklahoma who took summers off to come all the way to Torch Lake to fish, eventually retiring here and serving the Elk Rapids Presbyterian church. Gary's Dad retired as an MD here. Now it's Gary's turn.
Why they chose this property
One of the first cottages on the south end of the lake, it was acquired around 1930 because it was next door to the family cottage. It was renovated about 1955. It has a knotty pine interior, hardwood floors, and ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathroom.
What makes this property unique
You will fall in love with this cottage and the lake from the large covered porch. This is the spot to be on the lake, close enough to the sand bar if you want to spend time there but far enough away to not be bothered by all the boats and activity.
