There are two separate living quarters. A "shed" that has two bunks beds and a queen bad and a main house. The main house was immaculate- very nice. BUT if you're going to use the shed, everyone that slept in there was covered in flea bites by the time we left. AND unfortunately, they brought them home in their suitcase, so we're dealing with them in our house as well now. Torch Lake is absolutely amazing and the beach access and the fire pit were great! We made a lot of great memories.

We had the best time at the Shingle Shack! The house was spacious and comfortable. It is has a very homey feel to it. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is a great little market within a few minutes drive that we v bought all of our groceries at. The kayaks were fun to take out into the lake. The beach fire pit is going to be hard to top for all future vacation rentals. We did not use the bunkhouse during our stay. The lake is absolutely beautiful.Perfect for swimming, boating, etc. Highly recommend!

My kids grew up coming to Shingle Shack with my family. This was our first year booking alone for a family vacation with my now adult children. Grateful for the gorgeous setting to be together and make memories.

Main property was really nice and owner was helpful with all communications. The secondary house/bedrooms had more of a musty smell and since it was too cold to keep windows opened decided to have everyone stay in the main house, which has plenty of space with futon and couch. Great central location for all the activities we had planned and right on the water!

Torch lake is beautiful, the deck, bonfire area, and lake front were perfect- loved the two kayaks. The house under delivered. There was still trash in some cans, light switches that didn’t work, spider webs in the shower, and a general musty scent. This house also requires you to bring your own sheets, bedding, and towels- comforters and pillows were provided, but it didn’t seem that they were washed between renters. Coming from out of state this was not really acceptable- we needed to spend an extra $200 at a nearby Walmart on dish towels, hand towels, sheets, pillow covers, bath towels, etc. The kitchen was also severely under stocked compared to other VRBOs that we have stayed in - no salt, pepper, etc. there also was not extra trash bags, paper towel, or toilet paper that we could find- we needed to purchase additional. The house felt very tired and worn in- you could spin it as charm, definitely an authentic “cabin” experience. We only stayed in the main house (2bedrooms and a futon off the living room) but the bunkhouse wasn’t somewhere I would have had my family or kids stay (a bunk bed and queen bed). The total cost with cleaning fees just seemed too high for the condition of the house- however we did spend most of our time outside, on the lake, or in nearby cities. Coming from out of state I would rule this house out based on availability of linens and general supplies.
