Torch Lake Village Cozy Cottage with private dock

Charming Torch Lake cottage overlooking this spring-fed crystal-clear State treasure. Quaint & cozy cottage, w/ private dock for your use only, is located one block from the Village Day Park for playground, protected swimming & beach area, boat launch (must pay boat launch fee).

1/2 mile to Grand Traverse Bay for beautiful sunsets & Petoskey stone hunting. 25 mins to Charlevoix, 20 mins to Elk Rapids, 45 mins to Traverse City.

Large screened-in porch with lake views. Newer windows with screens. Fire pit. Buoy in place to tie up a boat or flotation device.

PLEASE NOTE: Cottage is not directly on the lake-simply walk down the hill to the private dock for your use only.

-Rental stays are weekly from Saturday to Saturday
-No more than 6 people staying in cottage at one time
-No smoking is permitted
-Dog MUST be housebroken and also on a leash while going to/from cottage to private dock.
-There is an additional $100 cleaning fee per pet.
-No parties are allowed.

Reminder to bring your own bedsheets/linens (queen and twin) along with towels for bath and beach. You are welcome to bring your own pillows.

This vintage cottage has 2 bedrooms (1 queen/ 2 twin), 1 bath that sleeps a maximum of 6 (sleeper sofa in the living area). Modern amenities include cable/Smart TV, DVD player , wi-fi and A/C unit. Microwave, gas stove and refrigerator in kitchen along with gas grill.

If bringing your own boat or renting a boat, it must be 20 feet or less or subject to written approval by host.

While renters have full use of a private dock, boat must be tied to buoy, in waist deep water near dock during the day. The boat mooring point is not recommended for overnight anchorage as rough waters can occur on Torch Lake and renter must remove boat overnight. We do not allow any boats to be tied to the private dock.

There is room to park one boat trailer by the cottage garage - see owner for more details. The Torch Lake Township public boat launch (must pay boat launch fee) is a block away from the cottage along with another public boat launch in nearby Eastport.

There are even places to visit within walking distance from the cottage. Grand Traverse Bay is located 3/4 mile from the cottage. Walk across US 31 and enter Torch Bay Nature Preserve to visit Grand Traverse Bay beach for swimming and Petoskey stone hunting or take a hike on the Torch Bay Nature Trail. On your way back, visit Torch Lake Township William K. Good Day Park. This day park offers a public dock (boat launch fee), sand volleyball area, basketball court, children's play structure and swings, fire pits and picnic tables. Your visit would not be complete without a stop at Torch Lake Cafe for food and music or Eastport Market for your groceries and gas. All great places near our cozy cottage.

Alternatively, just enjoy the peace and quiet of the cottage, nestled on a hillside overlooking Torch Lake and away from the hustle and bustle of US 31. Enjoy Torch Lake to the fullest thanks to the cottage's close proximity to many marinas where jet skis, pontoon boats etc. can be rented and the lake accessed at the nearby public dock. Head out on your boat for fishing, hang out at the sand bar or even snorkel in the clear blue water.

Not a great day on the lake - try golf. Beautiful A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort, with stunning Torch Lake vistas, is located 10 minutes south. Enjoy 72 holes of golf alongside Torch Lake and Lake Michigan. Courses include the parkland Torch Course and the new Sundance links course (golf architect Jerry Matthews).

There is no landline phone service available.

Annual Family week at Torch Lake
Cottage is in a great location with good view of the beautiful blue waters of Torch Lake, especially from the screened in porch. Tim was a great host! Cottage has a lot of history to it and was the perfect place for us to eat, sleep, and just hang out when we weren’t busy doing things with our family that lives nearby. We will e back!

AWESOME STAY!
Our second year at the cottage. This year was just as magical as last year. Torch lake just steps away, Grand Traverse Bay a 3 min car ride with BEAUTIFUL sunsets. Tom and his sons are super friendly. Can't wait for next summer!

An amazing trip up north
My family and I drove out from New Jersey and stayed here for a week. We all had a great experience. Torch Lake is a very short walk from the house. Short enough that bringing kayaks and small children wasn’t a hassle. There’s also a nice playground within walking distance. Walk a little further (or a very short drive) and you’ll be on the beach of Lake Michigan. The owner is a great guy who genuinely wants his guests to have a great time. We can’t say enough about how great our stay was here.

Great location!
Owner Tom is a gem. Very friendly, accommodating and lives to share family history of how the cottage came to be. Very interesting history. Convenient to boat launch, docking access and family park. Used Barnes Park Campground for over flow guests and worked out very nicely. Weather was great, lake incredible and we will be back! Thanks Tom!
