Torch Lake Sandbar Waterfront Home - with Dock!

Located on the turquoise waters of Torch Lake, this waterfront vacation home offers the perfect year round getaway!

The house is situated directly on the Torch Lake Sandbar, which is known for its shallow waters, sandy bottoms, beautiful sunsets, and crystal clear water.
The area is also known for it's amazing fall colors and as a winter paradise (snowshoeing, downhill and x-country skiing and snowmobiling trails are all nearby).

The house includes a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances: a stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Located next to the kitchen is a dining area that seats up to nine people and offers great views of the lake. The living room, adjacent to the dining room, provides comfortable seating for family movie and game nights. The house has four TVs, each with access to Netflix and Hulu TV. In front of the dining/living room is a beach-themed sunroom, which is great for enjoying a good book! The master bedroom includes a queen-sized bed as well as an attached walk-in closet and master bathroom. The cozy bunk room on the first floor has a twin-over-twin bunk bed. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also located on the first floor, right next to a half bathroom.

The upstairs offers a full bathroom and two large bedrooms: the lakeview room, with a king bed, and the fishing-themed room, with two full-sized beds. Both bedrooms have walk-in closets. In addition, a homey reading nook with a collection of books and lots of board games, drink fridge, microwave and coffee maker are located on the upstairs landing. Kids will find a wooden train set and a basket full of Lego Duplos upstairs as well.

Finally the basement offers a fitness room with a lifting cage, weight set, exercise balls and yoga mats, as well as a game area with ping-pong table, foosball table and an air hockey table which are perfect for rainy days!

A charming deck overlooking the lake is at the water’s edge. The dock, including a platform, provides the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. You can tie your boat to the dock during the day in calm weather. We also provide a mooring buoy in front of the dock (3' water depth). The dock is seasonal and available from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

In addition, a romantic fire pit, with firewood provided, is in the yard overlooking the lake; the fire pit is the perfect place for s'mores, camp songs, and ghost stories. A grill is provided for cookouts.

Please note that this house is located in a residential neighborhood and we want to be respectful of our neighbors. The vacation home is intended for families who want to make life-long memories and not meant for loud parties.

We had an incredible vacation at this amazing home. The location right on beautiful Torch Lake with a long dock allowed for easy access to shallow sandy bottomed water, access to our boat and a place to watch stunning sunsets and relax with a morning cup of coffee. Communication with the owners was exceptional and they provide everything you need to have fun indoors and outdoors. The 4 kayaks were a big plus for our group of 4 adults and 3 girls ages 9, 11 and 15. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you will need to cook meals and the gas grill is in great condition. There are lots of sturdy chairs for outdoor seating and a great fire pit. We definitely recommend this property!

Amazing property!!!

This is a gem of a property!!! We travel extensively and have rented many vacation properties…this one ranks at the top! Spectacular lake with stunning crystal blue water. Literally like the Caribbean! The home is super clean and comfortable with many extra touches that made the stay even better. The amenities including the game tables in the basement and the gym made the property even better! There was nothing that we needed or wanted that wasn’t provided. The owners (who do live next door) were super kind and friendly even letting our little ones play on their sandy beach. We would definitely consider another stay!

Family vacation

We had an incredible stay at this vacation house! It truly had all the amenities we needed—from a fully stocked kitchen to comfy beds and plenty of space for the whole family. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning—whether we were sipping coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, it was picture-perfect.The neighbors were very respectful and quiet, which made the atmosphere even more peaceful. One highlight we highly recommend is renting a pontoon—cruising around the lake was a blast and made our trip even more memorable.This spot is perfect for a family getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Perfect Family Retreat

We just returned from a week at Torch Lake. The Stoldt's home was perfect for our group of 8, which included all generations. There was plenty of room to spread out and beds for everyone! We enjoyed the on-site amenities like the kayaks and floaties, and the game tables provided hours of fun for the whole family. The gym was a very nice surprise as well! The home is well-cared for and the owners included many touches that you don't often find in a rental that just make everything easier - basic kitchen amenities, soap for the bathroom, and even a s'mores kit! We spent many nights out at the fire pit. Our favorite part was definitely the dock, which was the prime location for reading and watching the sunset. We are already dreaming of our next visit!

This torch Lake house was splendidly located, furnished, and equipped. It is even nicer than the pictures. The kitchen was perfect for a group of seven. We grilled out, we ate out on the picnic table. We enjoyed the sunset. We were on the dock every day, and we took advantage of the recommended pontoon rental company. We will definitely rent from this owner again.
