Torch Lake vacation rentals

We just returned from our family Thanksgiving trip at this beautiful house and left with the most amazing memories. The location was beautiful and we could not get enough of the view. The house was beautiful, clean, and even had everything we needed to host a large thanksgiving dinner. We were literally treated like family and were offered an early check in so we could get our thanksgiving dinner going, and even were offered a late check out. I could not say enough great things about our stay here.

We loved staying at this house! It was gorgeous for a little fall getaway, and even warm enough that we were able to take kayaks onto the lake! Check in was super easy, and the house had everything we needed. Kate was very helpful for any questions we had and gave us some great recommendations. Such a cute place in a great location for lots of the local tourism as well!

My wife and I had a few days off for a fall break. Dennis' place was a perfect spot. The drive there and the surrounding woods were vibrant with color. The place was comfortable, well-suited for a short or long stay, and was stocked with plenty to do. The short path to the lake is great, and the dock provides a lovely view. We spent hours just sitting on the dock chairs reading. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days. We took the short drive into Traverse City to go to Trattoria Stella, one of our very favorite restaurants. We also took a short hike out back to connect to the Mt Minnie trail and thoroughly enjoyed that hike. Being minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Franfort was a perfect location. Our last evening, we went 15 minutes to Peterson Beach and watched the sun set and stayed to watch all the stars emerge in the darkness. It was amazing! We didn't, but we could have built a fire there on the beach.. We hope to return. Thanks Dennis!

This was an incredible experience. Brenden helped me out when I was in a panic about where to stay after a previous reservation had fallen through. Very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and house was clean. Garage was spacious and rooms were perfect for guests we had. The only bummer was the rain all weekend to not enjoy the outdoors/lake but the company was good! Would highly recommend not only this property but Brenden as a host!

Spent the weekend here for my wife's birthday with some friends. Great location for winery tours/local food, and everything you would need inside and out. Roger is a very responsive host and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay as welcoming as possible. Plenty of room inside the house for sleeping for 3 adult couples, could've even fit a 4th no problem in the loft. Home was spacious and the screened in porch is a great hangout spot overlooking the lake.

Beautiful lake home. Everything is very nice & comfortable. We enjoyed the getaway very much. Loved looking at the peaceful lake. The updates are very tastefully done. Looks like a lot of time invested into every detail. It’s well stocked-lots of games too. Restaurants, stores, ice cream all within 5 miles. Highly recommend for R&R on a big lake. Thank you!

Beautiful place and very convenient location on the outskirts of Traverse City! I would highly recommend staying here.

Amazing location, home, and communication from Tom. Would definitely stay again!

This home was a perfect place for a women's mini retreat weekend. It was a very comfortable space for 6 ladies. A suggestion would be a little heater in the main floor master bath for colder months would be helpful. It is quite chilly in there. We hope to stay again sometime.

We enjoyed staying at the little red house. Cozy, clean space with lots of amenities. We loved the local recommendations. The parking was a little difficult to navigate with the huge snow banks, but I do have a larger suv. Would definitely come back! Thank you.

Lee’s place is awesome location if you’re looking to stay in northern Michigan. Lots to do within walking distance to Traverse City but also very centrally located to other towns and things you’ll want to do/see in the area. Highly recommend!

Very nice home! My family of 8 stayed for an extended weekend getaway and we were not disappointed. The home was just as shown in the pictures and the outside/location was very private and serene. It is close proximity to downtown TC and many activities. I would highly recommend!

The Big Drake is in on quiet lane right on the lake shore, the place is large while still feeling homey. The kitchen is well l equipped with modern appliances. The heating and AC are controlled by different Nest thermostats, and we were able to keep it at a good temperature. The three main bedrooms are very comfortable--two share an adjoining bathroom, and for one it is around the corner. The kids rooms with bunk beds were great as well. The rooms above the garage were a bit more rustic, but clean and comfortable. The furniture in the living room is very cozy leather and the other furniture is nice, often custom wood like in a fancy lodge. The check-in and check-out were super easy, with clear instructions and communications. The place is 10 minutes from a large grocery store (Meijer) and 20–30 minutes from Traverse city, which is a neat town to explore with excellent food. Overall, we highly recommend and hope we can come back!

This was our second stay with Terry & we will definitely be back! He always goes above & beyond to make sure we have everything we need & is very communicative. Can’t recommend enough!

We enjoyed so much about this space - it was cozy, nestled in the woods with a very short trail to the nearby river, pup friendly, and seven minute from Crystal Mountain (which is why we were in the area). We used the kitchen every day, hot water did not disappoint after a cold day outside and the cute little fireplace was a nice touch as we wrapped in blankets and watched movies in the evenings. I recommend it!

2nd time staying here and both times have been amazing. Always a super clean air bnb, Taylor is quick to respond to messages and so nice. Absolutely love staying here. The downstairs bathroom was upgraded since our first stay, and looks awesome!

Very relaxing weekend on the various lakes in the area , The cabin was perfect , will definitely be back .

Lovely place RIGHT on the lake. My husband and I went for a date weekend of ice fishing and relaxation. Yes-it was a perfect spot to walk out and fish despite the quantities of snow! Restaurants all right there in walking distance- hours are different than what is on menus or online so be aware. Very clean and cozy place that was spacious and warm. We will definitely keep it on our list for the future!

A very cozy cabin with a beautiful view. The fall colors were amazing.

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Beautiful scenery and wild life.

Love coming back and enjoying the nice view! Kieth always makes it so welcoming, clean and it makes me want to come back every fall.

What a great rental and what great hosts! My wife and I spent four nights at Laurie and Ralph's cabin outside Charlevoix and we didn't want to leave. Very highly recommend. Can't wait to come back again! The house itself is peaceful and comfortable and has everything a couple might need. Outside we sat down by the lake and saw the auroras and took advantage of their kayaks to go for a paddle. Laurie was very helpful and communicative, even sending us a photo of the driveway which is a bit hidden. Ralph even came over with an extra flashlight when the power briefly went out all over town. Charlevoix and the rest of the area was fantastic. Cute town with some great places to eat and just walk through the shops. From Boyne Falls to Petoskey, everything we wanted to do was within a quick and very scenic drive.

We've stayed here several times and the accommodations work well for our family of mixed ages. This trip we went snowshoeing daily and explored several nearby parks. We hope to return next winter.
