Excellent place on Torch!
Our stay at Torch was great! The cottage was very clean and the shallow water by the house and boat lift were huge pluses. The lake was crystal clear with close proximity to many fun activities to do with the kids. Highly recommend!

Great Place for a family getaway
I don't know where to begin with this place, it was so amazing! The views were spectacular, the house was so clean and tidy, water was amazing. It was really nice having a boat hoist and to be so close to the sand bar. This place will not disappoint

Amazing time on the water!
Our family had a great time at Tepapa this past week (Aug 18-25)! The cottage had everything we expected and the view was breathtaking. We kayaked, swam, sat on the dock, enjoyed s'mores most days and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere of the cottage. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable trip. We will definitely be back!

A very nice and comfortable Stay
This is such a wonderful place for the family. Hubby was very surprised with the cleanliness and the availability of supplies, even though we mostly used our own. The kids loved the toys. We all love the view, and the peace and quiet. We’re planning for next year when water is warmer. Thank you.

TePapa Does Not Disappoint
TePapa was the perfect property. This was our first time booking through VRBO and the owners made everything so easy, communication was timely and the description doesn't do it the justice it deserves. The view from the cottage is amazing. Torch Lake is one of our favorite locations and it was wonderful to get back after a few years of missing our happy place. Tepapa exceeded our expectations and shined in comparison to other rentals we have had on the lake. The previous reviews on cleanliness are spot on, the place is very clean! The property is well cared for, and the location was private. We felt right at home and wanted for nothing. We look forward to booking in the future and it made the ten-year anniversary of our engagement on the lake very special.

Great vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at Te Papa. The location on Torch Lake was the best for biking, walking and for enjoying the water. The boat lift on the property accommodated a ski boat and we kept the trailer at Luhr's Landing, which was a short drive down the road. If we were to visit Torch Lake again, we would book early to have a better chance of getting Te Papa. While we were on vacation, my family tried to book again for next year- no luck! The proximity to good restaurants was a plus (Mico's, Pearls, Shorts, Distillery Ethanology, The Muffin Tin). We did pack cleaning supplies, but everything was super clean upon arrival. We enjoyed the early morning sunrises- sitting on the dock- it was peaceful and restorative. Thank you!
