Lake houses in Torch Lake

The cottage was exactly what we expected, and more so. The view of the lake was just as spectacular in the morning as it was in the evenings!! Extremely comfortable, homey, and a great place to relax!! First time visiting Michigan, won't be the last. Thank you John & Melanie for providing such a wonderful place to stay!! Lynne & Bryan

The cottage was cute and spotless. The beds were comfortable, including nice sheets and it had everything that we needed. We stayed during the winter so didn’t get to utilize the lake but it’s close to the house and looks like it would be awesome during the summer. It’s only a 17 min drive to Crystal Mtn.

This was our second time staying at little elk cottage - it’s a great location, comfortable space, and has views for days! We loved building a fire at sunset. We did have an issue upon checking in but Chelsea was extremely responsive and quick to fix the problem. We had a great time & we’ll visit again.

Highly recommend this beautiful home! It’s a great location, clean & access to plenty of things to do. The host is extremely friendly & helpful!

Great, quite location. Well equipped and clean. Our dog loved the big yard to run while we relaxed on the nice deck. It's very dark at night, take a big basket for all the stars. Loved it, thanks Michelle

The cottage was the perfect location for my getaway weekend with friends! Not only was it serene and quiet, it was picturesque. The location is just outside of Traverse City for those looking to travel there. Inside was cozy and welcoming. The space itself is curated for connection with the big screen movie projector, game room, multiple board games and fully functional kitchen; not to mention it's right on the water with an outdoor shower. The space needed to be warmed with a few space heaters, but there were more than enough to keep us toasty through the chilly evenings. I would gladly come back to the cottage!

This was our first repeat Airbnb experience, we enjoyed Laurie’s place that much! It’s peaceful and the lake is lovely, no matter the time of year. Close to Short’s brewing and Schuss mountain, not far from Boyne, it’s quiet but still well located to have a great up north adventure. It’s also well stocked with toys and books, which is a great plus for our family! And Laurie is super responsive and kind. We might stay a third time!

We really enjoyed our stay! The close proximity to the snowmobile trails & relaxing hot tub will bring us back again!

Perfect stay at Luke’s cottage on Arbutus Lake! The setting was beautiful. The mini split kept the living room cozy and warm and the couch and tv were comfortable. The bedroom was spacious and comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed and the shower was perfect! The surroundings are so gorgeous- just 15 beautiful minutes from everything in TC but still getting that cozy private lake feel. Extra blankets and provided coffee were a nice touch. The decor is lovely- it feels very modern and updated but still has that cozy northern Michigan cottage feel. A+, would absolutely stay again!

We were warmly greeted by Mark as we arrived. The cabin was immaculate, fully-stocked with all needed amenities, and very comfortable beds and living room and porch furniture. The lake view and surrounding area are so peaceful and picturesque. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and enjoying eating and reading on the porch. A perfect place to enjoy family and the beauty of Northern Michigan!

We had a blast during our stay! The house was so cozy and spacious for what we needed. The hot tub was our favorite part. The lights in the backyard were just perfect for bringing together the entire aesthetic. We slept great every night! Thank you!

Went for a girls weekend, 4 of us total, and it was perfect! Great place to relax and unwind. Close to downtown Traverse City and beautiful hikes. Michelle was very helpful and friendly. Overall a perfect place to getaway!

We loved Charlys’s place! It was a charming home and very accommodating for pets. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was exactly as described and spotless! The location is perfect and setting is beautiful. This was a weekend girls trip and all three of us were so happy, we hope to come back in the summer. Thank you Theresa for a wonderful stay!

2nd time staying at the Morel cottage, 1st time during the winter months. Hosts were good communicators & set realistic expectations of the cottage. Had majority of meals at the cottage & hosts ensured kitchen was best put together kitchen I've encountered on Airbnb. Cottage was clean, comfortable, quiet & had just enough furniture without being cluttered, a Goldilocks of furnishing & interior design. Glad hosts could accommodate request of minimizing use of chemical & perfume scented products as cottage had a clean natural smell that shows good housekeeping & upkeep. I am thankful for a stay at a beautiful & quiet area tucked away from the city with just nature, trees & snow, with star viewing at night away from light pollution of the city. This place creates a successful environment to recharge & relax. Very happy with my stay here.

Sweet space with walkability to a stunning view of Lake Leelanau. Easily able to drive to local “hot spots” like Suttons Bay, Leland, Northport, Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. All the peninsula's wineries and cideries are within a short drive and so are some of the most incredible hiking paths. The space is quaint with everything you might need for a visit. My favorite was the fireplace and the stream just out the front door…the sound of it was delightful. The backyard space is vast and a wonderful place for a bonfire! You’ll enjoy your time here.

Nice little place to stay. Clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay again.

Accurate description - lovely place and relaxing stay. Clean, spacious with lovely views and very pet friendly. We went in the winter and enjoyed the outdoor fireplace during a snow flurry. Beautiful! Our only hiccup was that it was so cold outside that the heating inside didn't warm the space, so I had to contact the host to increase the temp. He was super prompt in communication and increased the thermostat remotely. Other than it being quite chilly for a few hours that afternoon, our stay was cozy and relaxing.

Home: This is a wonderful 3 bedroom rental home. The darts and ping pong table were a perfect addition. This kept my kids busy, and made great family nights! Everything I needed was supplied in the home (aside from food, obviously). There is space for a family to spread out, yet also be close. The bedrooms have plenty of space, all with closets and dressers. We felt very safe. Area: Traverse City is amazing. Many trails to walk and things to do. Great shopping on the quaint downtown streets. No big box restaurants. Everything seemed to be local, which was refreshing and wonderful. We were right beside a grocery store and very close to the beautiful water. I would come back to this house.. That's how much I recommend it. The hosts did right by us.

Wonderful place to stay for snowmobiling. Easy access to the trails.

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.

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!

Debra and Greg are great hosts. The little red house was the perfect space for our mother/daughter girls weekend. The house was clean, the couches were extra comfy, and we appreciated the extra towels in the bathroom. Check in and check out was very flexible and easy. We would definitely book with Debra and Greg again.

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!
