We love visiting Torch Lake each summer and this house was perfect. The house was very clean and well stocked. Would definitely stay again.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
The house was exactly as described and probably better. As other reviews stated: the amenities are much better than ‘rental quality’. The house is thoughtfully updated and very well done. We were concerned that being so close to the sand bar would be loud and a little obnoxious, but we were at the house on the biggest sand bar day of the year (July 4th) and everything was still peaceful. The house is very well situated where you can be part of the sand bar festivities or keep to yourself. The guest house provides another private space with 2 additional rooms. We were able to have 2 families with 4 young children a babysitter and never feel cramped. There is plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play and the beach area is perfect.I’m not great at reviews but this house deserved it. There is much I’m accidentally leaving out. In short: the property has everything you need for a perfect summer vacation. PS: The property management team is very kind and responsive.

Had a great stay at Torch Lake. Our first time there. The house was perfect. The guest house was a little musty smelling, but we were told we were the first to stay there this season. The house itself had everything you could want and of good quality, not cheap rental items. The neighbors were very friendly as well, evening providing an additional kayak for the kids to use. My only suggestion would be avoid a “key” pickup. With the electronic keypad, really no reason to go to the rental office. Thanks for the hospitality.
