**PONTOON BOAT AVAILABLE! ** Don't have a boat? Don't want the hassle of bringing yours? There is a beautiful 2020 24 foot Avalon Pontoon boat available for rent. The boat will be waiting for you in the boat house. Please message me prior to booking and I will send you a link to the website with all of the information about the boat.

We loved our stay at Torch River! The house was perfect for our family. We were able to make great memories with grandparents. It’s a great distance to the Torch Lake sandbar too. We hope to return again next summer!

Perfect location
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Torch River Cottage. The place was in a great location, very clean and updated, and had everything we needed for our stay. A definite bonus with the ability to rent a pontoon boat with a boat dock located right at the cottage. Owners were very friendly and responsive. We definitely plan on going back.

We had a great week on the river! So fun to spend the day on the boat cruising around Torch Lake, and the spend the evening sitting outside around the fire. Such a great location. Cozy cabin feel inside, too! We will be back for sure!

Perfect place for a relaxing vacation
This property is one of the best I’ve ever booked! Very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation! The quiet of the river, the proximity to 3 different lakes (including Torch Lake), the deck (we ate out on the deck every evening), and the fire pit for evening conversations. The boat was the icing on the cake - to be able to take it out whenever we wanted was worth every penny of the rental cost. Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing on the River
We stayed for two weeks at this amazing place. It was so much fun watching the boats go by on the way to Torch and other lakes. The kids loved the boat and the bunk room. The house was great and made an excellent place for our family. We can't wait to return.

This house was perfect for us! I absolutely love it here. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The yard was perfect for my 2 yr old grandson to play in. Having the boat there for the week was amazing. I wouldn’t do it any other way! Thank you for a great week! We will be returning!!

Torch Lake Vacation
We were so impressed with our stay at River’s Edge. Such a perfect location and beautiful property. Very Clean. Adam and Dave were quick to respond to any questions and were so helpful. We loved being able to rent the pontoon right along with the house for the week and at a great price compared to other Marina’s costs. They have thought of everything and this house was so well stocked. We so appreciated the attention to detail and ensuring the needs of their guests were taken into account. Thank you for a great week at Torch Lake!

Torch River, Great!
I've been coming to the Torch Lake/ Elk Lake arrea for vacation since I was 5 years old (yes, since the 1950's). I'm 76 now. Good grief! But I've got to say this was the nicest, quietest, and most beautiful cottage I've ever seen.

Great Updated Michigan Cottage!
We had a group of 8 adults, 4 couples (late 20's, late 50's) Everything we needed to enjoy our trip was available at the cottage. Plenty of linens, Adirondack chairs for the fire pit area, kayaks, cleaning supplies, a full binder of literature on the numerous activities, dining and events in the surrounding area (extremely helpful!) The cottage is inviting and comfortable...we felt very much "at home". The bunk room can be a bit tight for two adult couples. We chose to pitch a tent in the very large backyard along the river for one couple. Turns out they thoroughly enjoyed being that close to the river and hearing the sounds of the river while sleeping. The dock and covered boathouse was a bonus! We sat on the dock in the mornings watching the boats and kayaks passing by while enjoying our coffee and in the evenings having cocktails before dinner. Surprisingly, we sat in the pontoon boat under the boathouse during the really hot parts of the day and once when it was raining outside. We rented the pontoon boat for the week and were very satisfied with the boat. It was roomy and could have set another 4 people comfortably. We are boaters so it was super easy to handle the boat. Even if you aren't a seasoned boater, driving a pontoon boat is relatively easy. The dock had the padding needed to keep the boat safe while docking. Getting the necessary instructions from the owner was a breeze and only to about 20 minutes. He came right to the cottage to meet us.

Torch River Cottage and Pontoon
Adam was a great host to work with he. Adam was very responsive to any emails or texts sent to him. The house was very clean and ready for our stay. Everything was in good working order (A/C, Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer, Range/Oven, Microwave). The house was stocked with dish soap, hand soap, washing machine tide pods, dishwasher detergent, fabric softener for dryer, kleenex, paper towels, trash bags, and bath linens). The kitchen was stocked with all of the necessary items to cook, serve and eat on. The BBQ grill was clean and ready for use. The fire pit was great for those cooler evenings once the sun was gone. The pontoon boat was great. We took it out everyday to the torch lake sand bar. We also took the boat to the dockside grill on Torch lake. The boat was well maintained and we had no issues driving it or parking it on the dock. The house is only a 20-30 minute drive to many restaurants, breweries, wineries, distilleries, gas stations and grocery stores. We will definitely come back to Torch Lake and hope to stay at the Torch River Cottage. Thanks, Adam.

Fantastic stay on Torch River
We had an incredible stay at this cottage on Torch River! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for cooking and family fun, making our stay comfortable and convenient. The location was absolutely perfect, just a short boat ride away from Torch Lake and the beautiful sandbar. We took advantage of the proximity to nearby areas like Traverse City, Leland, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, making for some fantastic day trips. The kids had an absolute blast, especially with the boat and tubing adventures. This cottage offered the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy Torch Lake and its surrounding areas. We can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic Cottage
We had a wonderful, relaxing week at the River's Edge. The cottage was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the sun porch and having dinner on the deck. It was really nice to be able to walk out of the cottage and get on the pontoon boat to spend the day on the water at Torch Lake. Adam was very responsive to our questions before and during our stay. Thanks for a great week!

This is one great property! Everything you need is there! The home is newly remodeled and very clean. All new appliances, very comfortable beds and very peaceful! We really loved sitting out on the enclosed patio every evening watching the boats go down the river. Adam is great to work with! He met us there at check in to go over pontoon boat. And you really should rent the pontoon!! Myself, husband, son and parents had a very nice time at Torch Lake for the week and will be back!!

Perfect location and fantastic rental
What a perfect home! Clean, very comfortable, everything we needed and wanted right there. Sticks to roast marshmallows, wood, pit, bbq, boat, kayaks, etc. Mud room is perfect for jackets and dirty shoes, 3 season porch with lots of seats, deck with even more seats and a great table for meals (we ate outside several times). So delighted we found this place and got it rented. Great location, not on the big lake, but right around the corner on a very picturesque river. Owner was very friendly and great to work with. Answered calls and texts promptly. This area is really fantastic. Beautiful, good fishing, boating, tubing, swimming, hiking, and a large city with plenty to do nearby. Shopping for groceries or fun (coffee shops, tourist shops, breweries, restaurants) all close along with Pirates Cove for putt-putt, etc. What a great vacation we had. This one was hard to leave. We have rented all over the U.S. and once in Europe. This rental ties with another that was equally as nice with all the extras. Really felt like home for the week we were there.

Great cottage
The cottage was super clean and organized. No clutter, nice and simple decor. Everything is new as it has just been completely remodeled. Laundry, kitchen and bathrooms all well stocked and had everything we needed. Hard surface floors throughout, no carpet. I appreciate this because it’s easy to keep clean. The location was great, no traffic noise at all and quiet neighbors. Right on the river, with the boat-dock right in your backyard. The sunroom and the deck on the back were a great place to relax. The owner is very nice, responsive and leaves you your privacy. We would definitely stay again.
