"It was a nice stay! Perfect amount of space for what we needed! And it was in a great area! A bit of a warning, there is no tv but there is wifi if you bring a tablet or laptop. "

About this apartment rental

A perfect retreat just steps away from everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Come and relax in a charming, vintage studio with all the comforts in a quiet wooded setting.

This cozy studio has a queen bed with luxury linens and a pull-out sofa, a full kitchen with vintage appliances, and a relaxing bathroom with rain showerhead. From charming vintage touches to modern amenities, you’ll feel right at home.

We’re conveniently located close to it all, but on 6 acres of serene, wooded privacy. At the top of the hill, enjoy a private picnic spot and campfire with views of Torch Lake and Old Mission Peninsula. Open the French doors and enjoy a book on your patio or take a quick walk across the street to Torch Lake. With 2 public access points within a 5 min walk for swimming or nonmotorized watersports and a short 5 min drive to the North Torch boat launch, the Caribbean blue water of Torch Lake is at your fingertips. Dozens of hikes, mountain bike trails and the entire Chain of Lakes are on your doorstep. If shopping, farmers markets, festivals, or nightlife are more your scene, we’re conveniently located between Bellaire, Charlevoix and Elk Rapids. On Sundays, walk down to grab donuts at the iconic Brownwood Acres Country Store or shop their old-fashioned General Store. Check out a pop-up Mexican feast at Providence Farms. Pick peaches, cherries or apples at King Orchard. Or head out for ice cream with all the fixings at Fudgees in Central Lake.

With a classic Up North-feel, the Forge at Torch Lake is a comfortable retreat for exploring everything or letting it all soak in.

Beautiful location. Drove from Ohio to northern Michigan on a weekend getaway for Labor Day weekend. We drove 10 hours overnight and were looking for a place to stay to explore the nearby dunes and pictured rocks farther north. We did not stay in the lodge too much as we were out and about, but the property had everything you need with cooking utensils and also a fire pit that was nice for a campfire at the top of the hill. The only thing that we experienced that was an issue was the check-in.

No TV but that’s ok. One bar or less WiFi so very difficult. No cards. No games. No instructions where to go or what to do. Found out too late by reading reviews there is a firepit at the top of the hill for sunsets. The beach across the street wasn’t a beach. You could put a kayak in the water there is about it and no instructions how to find it. Had to buy batteries to operate the remote for the heater. Heater shined a bright light on us all night. Pans were yucky so I just boiled an egg for breakfast. No toaster. Brought coffee but had to go out and buy Keurig cups. Only one room and frig made noises all night along with the heater. I really don’t think my standards are too high. I thought I did thorough research but I guess not. We travel a lot and use VRBO. Never have written a bad review but I felt this was necessary.
