East Torch Lake cottage with beautiful sunsets!
Our Cottage is situated on 206' frontage on the East side of Torch Lake. Our home is situated in a quite area, framed by mature trees. The back of the home has beautiful views of the lake, with private lake access and deck overlooking the water. The sunsets are breathtaking! The way the winds blow, there are very few mosquitoes in the summer. The water is so clear you can see the bottom of the lake. Enjoy barbequing, making s'mores in the firepit, or an evening swim in the calm waters.

Family vacation and boating
Great place, beautiful view, close to Bellaire. A/C needs upgrade. Kitchen is great and well furnished with everything needed. Road in to the house is very narrow.

We enjoyed our week @ TL immensely. The cottage has a superb location--steps to the beach, close to Belleaire and Charlevoix, and other favorite places. There were 5 of us--the smaller bathroom shower was cramped but noted in the original description of the property.

July 13-20 Stay on East Torch Lake
Our week was very pleasant and the house suited our needs adequately. Love the large lot and access to dock and beach with minimal steps.
The dehumidifier was extremely loud and its location diminished the peacefulness of the interior of the house. One of the room fans was broken. Generally a great place to stay.

Beautiful cabin and fantastic waterfront!
We have been coming to Torch Lake for many many years and this was by far our favorite property! The home was clean and spacious. My husband and 6 kids and I all had plenty of room and we truly enjoyed our stay. The property owner was lovely and responsive although we had need for nothing during our stay. We can’t wait to come back!

Another great stay.
We stayed at this house in 2019 and had a great time. It's a great location and on the best stretch of the lake in my opinion and has everything you need. Since our stay several years ago, there have been some nice upgrade to the place - most notably the mattresses.
Thanks for offering your place to stay! We will be back again in the future.

Great location with plenty of space for 2 families.
Property was in a great location with plenty of space. Owner was great to work with and very responsive. Had all the necessary amenities. Outdoor space was excellent. Indoor space was good. Plenty of seating in dining and living room. Overall a great place where great memories were made.
A couple things that some people may want to know: one of the two showers is tiny. The mattresses could use replacement, or at least a topper. A/C is only available in the master bedroom, leaving two bedrooms with none. Typically this isn't an issue on Torch but we were there during an exceptionally warm week.
Recommend visiting Shorts Brewery in Bellaire (white pepper sandwich is best ever). Also try Butch's fried chicken. You wouldn't think a convenient/bait store would specialize in fried chicken, but it's great!

Very clean and inviting cottage
A very cute and comfortable cottage. Everything you need is there. Postings kept saying it's tight if you have a boat, etc.getting through the road and into the driveway but we found it just fine, no problems. It was a nice and hot week, the 2 air conditionings were plenty. Would recommend this cute cottage/house to anyone!!

Beautiful House with a Extraordinary View of Torch Lake
My family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation stay at this house. We loved the screened in porch with the beautiful view of Torch Lake, the fire pit(enjoyed our s'mores), the hammock(very relaxing), the overlook deck with the picnic table. Also, loved all the back windows of the house- so we could always see beautiful Torch Lake. We did not have any problems with it being noisy during our stay. I do like that the house is located far from the road. We've been renting several houses on Torch Lake for many years, and we all agree that this house is definitely one of our favorites. The house was also very clean. My only complaint is that the beds were not real comfortable. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and I would definitely recommend this house.

Wonderful Location On Torch Lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your house on Torch Lake, MI in August 2016. This is the first time we've rented on the eastern shore of the lake, and it will not be the last...the sunsets were incredible!! The house was in a terrific location, close to Alden (Dockside and Dewitt's Marina) and Bellaire (groceries and Short's Brewery), very comfortable for our family of six adults, was very clean and met all of our needs. The mooring ball was perfect for our boat, providing quick and easy access to the lake for boating and swimming the day away.
The communication from the owners was terrific...from our initial questions to getting us the information we needed right before our vacation.
Only a couple of minor issues/concerns to be aware of...the exterior of the house is "tired". It could use a paint job and the lawnscaping could use some TLC. The shower in the main bathroom by the bedrooms...the pan felt (to those who used it) very mushy, like the floor below the pan had some water damage. The second shower in the other bathroom is not meant for 6'4'' guys, but we made it work.
Other than that, we would not hesitate to suggest this property to friends, and we may just reserve the house for the same time in 2017.
