Great beach house feel
5/5 Great beach house feel

Cute but....
3/5 The property manager was great and you can tell the owners care deeply about the property. However, the listing didn't make it clear that this property is directly on the "Sand Bar", which for the most part isn't a big deal. However, the "Sand Bar" in July on a Saturday looks and sounds like a tailgate party, dozens of boats, loud music and people drinking, etc. For some this would be a great selling point but for others this may be an issue, so this should just be a bit more clear for those not familiar with the area.

Manager's Response:
Hi Stuart, we want to make vacation rental easy for everyone, and we're sorry if you were caught off guard. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- We encourage guests to thoroughly review the listing before booking, to ensure they find the perfect vacation home for their needs. The listing does state that we are near a sandbar and the property is located on a nationally famous lake known for parties and boating, but we’re sorry if this caught you off guard.
- We wish you had reached out to us during your stay. We would've been more than happy to resolve your concerns and make your stay more comfortable.
- While we regret our home was not up to your expectations, we’re happy to share that our most recent guests reported no issues.
- We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have a wonderful stay!Perfect Stay. Torch Lake Dream Vacay
5/5 We had our family of 6 (4 teens) over the 4th of July week. House is exactly as described. Loved having the extra bedroom and bathroom attached by breezeway. Kids enjoyed the main house while we had our own place. We rented a boat and were able to attach to mooring ball close to dock. Beach area was perfect. The house really has everything you can ask for.

Torch lake
5/5 Beautiful lake, great location close to the sandbar. Separate guest house bed/bath worked out perfectly with a baby in our group. The home had everything we needed and excellent communication with the property owner. We rented a pontoon and could park it at the house. We did day trips to Elk Rapids and Traverse City. Five stars!

Little piece of heaven
5/5 Torch lake is like the Carribean without the hassle of travel outside of Michigan! The home was perfect for eight people! It was very clean and had all essentials you could need. Very nice sandy beach and chairs. Nice outdoor shower so we didn't track sand thoroughout the house. We would go back tomorrow.
