No washer/dryer

It’s stated that a washer is an amenity on this property. It’s not. I asked for more towels and no one ever brought them. Great location to enjoy the outdoors. Could walk across street to beach entrance for torch lake. All and all would stay there again definitely. My family and I had a blast. Crystal clear water

Parking is an issue

The house was great and the location was excellent. Parking on the other hand isnt the greatest. Our pick up barely fit in the driveway and there was no where to park our boat trailer. The public parking by the house doesnt allow overnight parking. We were told that the township will have it towed if you leave vehicles overnight.

This was a lovely cottage with a great location. The dock out back was great and so convenient for our boat that we brought with us. The water toys provided were put to good use. Across the road was direct access to walk out to the famous sandbar. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The new grill was great for cooking and the fire pit near the water was awesome. Minor issues include 1 parking spot directly in front of the cottage and due to the heavy traffic on Crystal Beach Rd, it is hard to get in/out without getting flipped off by drivers speeding by. Also, the property listed a dishwasher but we didn't find one. The bedrooms are both upstairs and the stairs are a little narrow but navigable with care. Last, the toilet is a small round RV size toilet upstairs. If you're 6' 6" tall, it presents a challenge. However, overall, these are very minor issues. Being near this beautiful lake and on the river, with a boat dock far exceeds any of these issues. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.
At the dock.

Excellent water access

Very nice, updated property. The home met all of our needs and we enjoyed the access to the water. There was an issue with the heat and property manager and owner acted immediately and remained in constant contact with us which we really appreciated. I recommend more pictures and decorations throughout to give the house a homier vibe. We would stay again.

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.

Awesome time at Torch lake!

We had an amazing time. The house is in a great location, you really can't beat relaxing in the back on the river, and being on torch lake sandbar in the front! Very close walking distance to Fabianos as well. Awesome little house, could use a bit of updating, but for the amount of time we spent inside it really didn't matter.

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 cottage on Torch River.

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was a great place to relax after our days of boating. We were able to launch our 23ft boat from the public launch up the river to the dock behind the cottage. Torch Lake was a short ride from there. We were also able to boat up the river to Elk lake. The cottage was very clean and comfortable

Great time staying at this house. River out back with kayak launch next to the house. Can also access Torch Lake across the street at another public access. House has 3 kayaks and a paddle boat to use. Will definitely rent again. Everything was super clean and nicely updated. Walking distance to local restaurant also.

Very peaceful and relaxing.

The place was very conveniently located to the lake and river. The beach access was wonderful.. it is not a very touristy area, which was great. The amenities were awesome. Only thing I have to say bad was the hot water was horrible. Not enough for one shower let alone 2 in a row.. Will definitely be back for a longer stay next year.

Fall get away

We liked the property overall. The issues we had were the very busy road, immediately in front of the house. We didn't get to enjoy the water, but that was due to weather, not at all because there were any issues with the amenities, which all seemed to be in place as advertised.
