This is an amazing location and a beautiful family cottage on Torch Lake. Great porch to watch the lake all day, and boat mooring less than a mile from the sand bar.
Couldn’t be better.

Classic cottage on turquoise Torch Lake
This is a cozy and remarkable well equipped cottage in a peaceful setting. The owners were responsive and helpful when we had questions. Perfect for a couple or two friends. We kayaked, swam and floated in the sparkling water. Most lake users were boaters or waterskiers. Like many lakes, this one contains the type of snail that creates swimmers itch. We were careful to wear sun protective clothing and were minimally bothered but small children would be more impacted.

Torch Lake Dream Cottage
We were the first ones to stay at cabin for this summer. I had to vacuum and clean bathroom before unpacking. The floors were dusty and bathroom dirty. It stated no air conditioning. There were only 2 fans. It could use more. And we had a heatwave that week. Had to leave in the middle of week, to hot in the cabin. Would probably stay again if they put in a window air conditioner since it is a very small cabin. The cabin was cute with lots of historic characters. The owner was nice and answered any questions.

Relaxing Vacation
We’ve rented Gary’s Dream Cottage on and off for years. It’s a cute small place but has enough space for my family of 3 plus my Dad and my Aunt. We love Torch Lake and this was the perfect space for us! Thank you!

The Dream Cottage in a Torch Lake Dream Location
This is an older cottage that has been updated and make extremely comfortable. It is just steps from the lake and has a beautiful porch to enjoy.

Very special place
The porch is a great place to relax and view the water. It is also a wonderful place to have your meals while listening to the soft waves and enjoying the gentle breeze. The property is in a quiet neighborhood that is far from the hubbub of the sandbar but close enough for a quick paddleboard or kayaking trip if one would like to visit it. The beds are comfortable and all the basic amenities you would need is provided for. A great place to stay!

Unforgettable Trip and Beautiful Cabin
From the beginning of the booking process, Gary was quick and thorough with communication and made sure that his property would be a good fit for us. There were four of us total, including two friends, my mom, and myself. Some reviews have complained about the size of the cabin but it was more than enough for us! Very well kept and adorably decorated. There's a lot of history just with the cabin that added extra enjoyment to our trip. We moored a rental jet ski to one of the two buoys in front of the house and frequently took the kayaks out for early morning trips to the sand bar and expeditions down Torch River. Gary was very friendly and accommodating and we appreciated his knowledge about the area. Overall I'd highly recommend this property as a way to experience Torch Lake!

Beautiful porch view and old charm
This was a nice spot but you must be prepared for rustic. The views of the property were great. Some things were a little too uncomfortable like the small shower with hard water and smell of iron. Tight kitchen. Messy unorganized kitchen drawers. Owner lives next door so not much privacy feeling like your being watched. If that doesn’t bother you, you might enjoy it.

This place is AMAZING!!!
Wow is all we can say. We had the BEST time and made so many memories. Gary the owner was absolutely wonderful. The lake is beautiful, the cabin was clean and full of rustic charm. We loved everything about the cabin. The location is prime and just a few minute boat ride to the sandbar. We watched the beautiful moon come up every night and saw the beautiful sunrise every morning. We took our 2 little ones with us and they begged us not to leave.
One thing I would recommend to anyone is bring your boat or rent one. You get the full experience when you’re on the lake. The water is as blue as the Caribbean and you can truly see straight down in the shallow spots.
We ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the beautiful front patio that overlooked the lake. We sat out there at night and had a few cocktails and laughs.
The Dream Cottage is a rare find. We will definitely be coming back. This was the perfect family getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of every day reality.
We did have a few cooler days and a little bit of rain, but we found some trails nearby and checked out some of the smaller towns in the area. There is so much to do and so much to see, a week wasn’t long enough for us to explore everything.
Thank you again for letting us rent the Dream Cottage! We can’t wait for next year!!

SMALL SPACE
If you are expecting to have more than 2 people stay here you will be VERY disappointed. The couches were small, old and borderline dirty (we didn't try to open the sleeper sofa). The "master bedroom" had a TV in it which would have been nice if it was mounted so you could actually see it from the bed. The 2nd bedroom appeared to be the old laundry room, so basically just enough room for the bed. I you are a larger person beware of the small bathroom! The stand-up shower was a tight squeeze for any person over 5 ft tall. I am 5'3 and was constantly hitting my elbows on the sides while trying to shower. The shower also leaks water onto the floor when you are showering. The owner lives next door which I guess could be nice if you had any issues, but every time we came outside it seemed like he was right there. Not much privacy. The house was very old and dated and owner has very strict rules on smoking ANY WHERE on the property (yes, that means no smoking outside)! Also, very specific on recycling your trash, ect. Overall, I would not recommend to stay here for the price. The only nice thing about the property was that it was located right on the lake. However, the weather was bad so we didn't even get to enjoy that part. The dock is also small, so the fact that the description says you could "lay out" on it is laughable.

My daughters and I just finished our stay at the Dream Cottage and we had a wonderful week. The cottage is small (as stated) but it has everything you need. The porch was wonderful and we spent a lot of time on it eating meals, reading and playing cards. I liked that towels were provided so you didn’t have to bring your own. All in all, it was a wonderful stay!

We had an incredible experience! The cottage was everything we hoped for. It was wonderful haveing Gary right next door to answer all our questions. From kayaking in the morning to playing in the lake all day to mornings on the beautiful porch to watch breathtaking sunrises with coffee in hand to the fun and laughter of spending time as a family, the Dream Cottage is a special place. We have have found our place to stay at Torch Lake for many summers to come!!

オーナーについて
オーナー : 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.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
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.
この宿泊施設の特徴
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.
