Great location
Great location for kayaking both the Torch river and Torch lake. The house is compact, modern, clean, and perfect for a couple looking for a long weekend or extended stay vacation.

Perfect Torch Lake Getaway
Property is in the perfect location -- bayou (and dock) in the backyard and public beach lake access directly across the street. Even better, this property is less than 1/4 mile from my husband's family cottage from his childhood. Property manager was very responsive. It was a great vacation.

Pet Friendly rental between Torch River and Torch Lake
Nice older two bedroom/one bathroom cottage in nice location near (within 25 minutes) of most anything you would want to get to. Many other cool attractions/beaches/parks/restaurants within one hour. Rental was clean and had linens, towels, fully furnished with essentials. Also, has a paddle boat (but you will need a few people to get it in and out of the water, several kayaks with oars and life jackets; also a couple inner tubes. As stated, there is room for "one car"; that is pretty accurate. We had a pickup truck and made it work, but one vehicle is all this property can hold. The house is pretty close to the street. There is public access (parking) to Torch River right beside the house and across the street to Torch Lake, but you might get a ticket if you park there overnight....

Paddling Stay
The house was clean and location was great. My husband and i brought our kayaks. It was nice to have access to the river from the back yard and an easy paddle to torch lake. The sandy beach access across ths road toTorch Lake was nice for swimming. Small grocery and restaurant down the road were handy.

Great owner but can make the experience better
Bad bug problem, sheets for beds were clean but the bathroom had spider webs everywhere especially a big collection right above the toilet that must have been missed multiple cleaning times. Dirty shower curtain. Really bad fly and bug problem, every time we opened or closed the door we had 10 to 20+ flys on the ceiling. The ac unit above the main bed has black mold pumping out onto the pillows. Walls have holes, felt more like a frat house rental. Tried vacuuming said bugs and then the breaker went out, electricity seemed weak in the house. Outside chairs and deck would have been nice to use but covered in a bunch of stuff. Was not relaxing because of these reasons. The owner was nice and the location. For the price we were really bummed on the experience overall.
