Gorgeous, comfortable, perfect location!
We were in town for the International Firework show in Traverse City and my daughters 7th birthday! We came the second week of September. The high was about 70 for two days and then cooler the rest of the time. With sunshine it was warm enough to play on the beach and my kids loved it! It was so cool to look out the window and see all the boats at the sandbar out in front but yet not hear any loud noise either! It was perfect! We had a bonfire and made s’mores and left the doors open to hear the waves- even when it was cooler. This home is SO cozy, and so perfectly spaced out, that even without hot weather and using the lake the whole time- it’s still wonderful! I have YET, until now, stayed in a VRBO, with the right amount and size of beds in each rooms that make such perfect sense AND were comfortable! Myself, my husband, 2 kids & my parents had so much room without even using all the rooms! It was very clean as well! The two full baths were wonderful and the downstairs tub is very roomy- my kids had plenty of room for a bath. Everything we needed was there, there isn’t anything I could even suggest to add- it’s fully stocked. A big thing for me when I do VRBO’s is I will not rent from a rental company. I only rent from families. I have seen a big difference in the care of the home. The Z family loves this home and it’s well cared for! We hope to visit again sometime, we created great family memories and the location doesn’t get anymore perfect than this! Thank you!

Great Location for a trip with Friends
Great location. First time at Torch and the adults and kids had a blast. Short stay of only 3 nights and we could've stayed longer! We would 100% rebook this accommodation. Proximity to the store, sandbar, restaurant, etc. was a huge plus. Super clean. Loved the fire pit. Was very easy to hook up our boat to the provided buoys.

Summer Vacation
The house was clean and nicely furnished. The location was perfect, right across from the sandbar. We spent the majority of our time on the patio or in the water. The only negative was that the septic tank was being pumped while we were trying to put everything in our cars for checkout. Other than that, we’d stay again in a heartbeat!

We have taken a few family vacations as a new blended family so far - North Carolina, Mackinac, Montana, and now Torch Lake. We loved them all, but this house made Torch Lake our favorite. To be able to sit on the patio and watch the water, the sandbar activity, hear the waves, feel the breeze, and have room to spread out was worth every penny. We would even return here, despite some of us being non-repeaters when it comes to vacations! One note - if you saute anything for any length of time, use both living room and kitchen overhead fans or else the smoke detectors will go off!
