Had a great 3 night stay with friends. The house is updated and clean. The rooftop is super cute and kayaks were available to use. Communicating with the host about renting a boat was easy!
Glad we picked this place to stay!

We really enjoyed the location of the property being right across the street from the sandbar! Also, having the boat house right out the backdoor was amazing! The apartment was very clean & welcoming. We hope to come back in the future!

House and location were perfect for our family. Public access was directly across the street and is where we spent a lot of our time. Provided kayaks were a huge hit. Hosts were great! Lots to do in the area. Lake was clean and beautiful!

The property was so cute & had a really nice host! The kids loved visiting the beach area across the street as well as kayaking on the river. Well worth the 5 hour drive! We will absolutely book again in the future.

This was our first stay using VRBO and on Torch Lake. It was a great experience. There were many amenities available for our stay. Public access to the water was just across the street too. Overall we were thrilled at the cleanliness and the communication from the property manager. We will be returning in the future!

The owners are fantastic people. Very helpful and courteous. Perfect location to visit the beauty of Torch Lake. Kayaks are free and a must to truly appreciate the lake. The area is filled with helpful friendly people. Lots of places to eat all in short distance to where you're staying. Lots of gluten-free options for those of you with celiac.
If you're visiting this area I could not recommend anything more charming and well kept.

Loved our stay!
The location was excellent, literally steps from a public access beach and the house was cozy and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our family of three (2 adults and a 4 year old).
Only suggestion I have for other guests would be to back into your parking spots to make it easier to get out.
Would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely had an amazing time! The location was perfect and the cottage was absolutely adorable. My husband had rented this place years ago from the old owners and the renovation is amazing!

We stayed here for our 20th anniversary. The house is very nice, clean, and updated. The boathouse was so cute and the convenience of having our boat right at the house was awesome. The owners also have a boat available to rent if needed. The upper deck area is very nice and great place to grill, have drinks, and enjoy great views and people watching. The owners have done a great job with this and we will definitely be back!

Since we travel a lot we get to stay all over. This was a fantastic experience. Booking was easy and excellent communication from the host.
Check-in instructions were clear and made the process easy. Beautiful accommodations with lots of little details that made the stay feel thoughtful and very welcoming.
Loved the location! On the other side of the road is Torch Lake and the Sandbar is right here. The backside is on the river side.
We enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!!

Everything was great and the upper deck was wonderful. The street and traffic was a problem so you must be careful.

You'd be hard pressed to find better lodging for a Torch Lake vacation. Across the street is a little/park beach where you can get a nice view of the lake, play in the water or even walk out to the sandbar. Next to the property is a public launch you can use to launch the provided kayaks to explore in the back canal.
As many others have mentioned, the top deck is fantastic for hanging out, grilling, eating, drinking or just enjoying the fire.
The owners promised further upgrades in the interior but it was perfectly fine as is. You can tell they care about their property and the experience they are providing with the well-equipped kitchen and decorative touches including indoor plants. But the biggest draw for me was the included covered boat slip. It's in a very calm bay so you don't have to worry about the heavy waves that sometimes come to Torch Lake and there's no need to cover the boat. We rented both apartments for 6 people. 6 people in one would be very crowded. I'd probably only attempt that with young kids.
We lucked out with the weather. Got a little rain/overcast for two days but had warm, sunny weather five days. Lots of memories were made.

Great Place to Stay!
We loved our stay at the Upper Deck. We had a larger group and rented both sides. The addition of the upper deck adds an amazing amount of space to hang out. The location is perfect - especially for those with a boat. The boat garage is 2 steps behind the cottage! We will definitely be coming back!

The Cutest Duplex on Torch Lake
Our family and my sisters family rented out the 2 duplexes. And I cannot express enough how much fun we had. The upstairs deck was pure perfection and such an added bonus. Having access right across the street to the lake was amazing. You can walk right out to the sandbar from it.. Location was perfect. And all around it was just the best place to stay. :)

Torch Lake Upper Deck
Awesome!!! Did I say awesome? Yes! Absolutely no complaints. Updated, clean, unique. The kitchen, bath, bedrooms and living area were updated, clean and exactly what we needed. The new upper deck is amazing. Its the talk of the town. Propane fire pits to use, covered bar, lots of room. Outdoor games available to use. Kayaks available to the guests. Boat dock comes with rental. Views are great. Location close to everything you need. The owners are amazing people. They really do care about their facilities and it is important to them you have a good time. Communication when needed was fast and clear. Will stay again and again if they let us :). Can't wait to go back. Thank you Ryan, Joy, Meagan and Adam.

Great Stay over the 4th of July.
My group had a wonderful time during the holiday week at this property. The house had everything you could want/need, not to mention the AWESOME rooftop hangout area they built. The location is also perfect, whether you have a boat or want to wonder out to the sandbar, everything is easy. The hosts were nice, inviting and very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend.
