Beachfront vacation rentals in Torch Lake

Wow! if I could turn my car around and go right back to Miriah's place, I would do it in a heartbeat! We took our 3 kids for a quick Fall Break trip to Elk Rapids and we all fell in love with Miriah's place and this amazing little town. The house is a perfect layout for families, with lots of common spaces to hang out together AND enough sitting nooks for people to find quiet places to read and relax too. The kitchen has got to be the most well stocked Airbnb kitchen I've ever been to. Next time, I'll plan to cook more because now I know Miriah's house literally has EVERYTHING you might need to cook and serve a big group. The house was spotlessly clean, the furniture was super comfy and we slept super well. We loved walking to the beach, playing at the playground, watching people catch fish by the dam, walking to the shops in town, and enjoying the incredible views. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a great time at Torch lake. Ryan was a great host - very responsive who left very good instructions, recommendations for restaurants things to do in the area. The home is very clean and well supplied. The pontoon is very nice.

This stone cottage is absolutely adorable. Everything you need for your stay is ready: comfy bed with super soft linens, clean towels, soaps, coffee and maker, and the list goes on and on. Nick greeted us as we arrived and was very hospitable. He left us a kind, welcome letter, fresh flowers, chocolates, and wine! The cable tv and WiFi worked perfectly too. But THE VIEW and LOCATION are amazing! It could not get better! Beautiful lawn, stone walls, and a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. And it’s literally a 2 minute walk to cross the street and rock hunt or walk the beach! The neighborhood homes are mostly stone and historic-so beautiful. This place is peaceful and serene, and we will be back! Thank you, Nick. We had a great spring getaway! We’d love to return in the summer.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Beautiful home in a gorgeous location - perfect for our family getaway!

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

Loved this great find near Traverse City! The property was beautiful with a cute little beach. There were beach chairs on the sand and above on an astroturf seating area. There were also a couple docks to walk out farther onto the water. Our dogs enjoyed the slight waves and exploring the wooded area on leash. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It was about 20 minutes to Traverse City, so it was easy to get to lots to do as well as the beautiful beaches in the area. We loved sitting at the public beach with our dogs. Such a relaxing place to stay and a great town to enjoy with family and pets.

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

We loved our stay at Ryan’s place! Perfect stay for Shanty Creek and even Boyne. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of room, and gorgeous views!

We love the Gaylord area! Reasonable distance to Mackinac Island and all the wonderful places and beautiful wildlife.

As always, Shanty Creek did not disappoint! The view was spectacular, with full fall colors popping! We got to walk the Legend golf course several times, and the colors were amazing on that, too. This unit is cozy and absolutely perfect for a couple getting away for a few days. We would definitely return to this unit any time of year!

Great stay, place was exactly as described. Host had lots of options for things to do in the area. Host also had great communication and was very helpful.

Holly communicated very well and answered questions very quickly. The home is beautiful and clean. Outside wild turkey and around 10 deer ran through to the valley below. It’s close to the shops and the lodge. We walked to dinner and drinks. I would definitely book again and would recommend this place and Holly!!! Thank you for a great place to stay over the weekend!!!

I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! It was conveniently located. Rick was very responsive and had very clear instructions for us. It was also very clean and tidy!!! I would recommend this to others, and hope to be back sometime. Thank you Rick!!!

The home is perfect for a family with children. Very clean, everything was great! I recommend to everyone! We will definitely come back here 🙂

Lovey home. Beautiful location. Very clean. Amply stocked. Great communication. For those who have problems with many stairs…. This is NOT a good fit. There are twenty steps each time you enter or leave the home. Outside there are more stairs to move to the lower level.

What a wonderful stay! Haley, you are the hostess with the mostest. This was hands-down one of the most jaw-dropping Airbnbs we have ever stayed in,perfect for a bachelorette weekend! The place had everything like, show up with nothing but your underwear and you’d still be set. Super clean, beautifully decorated, and so well-stocked (from the front door hooks to the unlimited amount of towels available). There was even a whole binder with everything from how the awning and remote works to where to grab food nearby. So thoughtful for those who aren’t from here! The beds were cozy, the pillows were a crowd favorite, and there was so much space for all our games. We had access to control the air/heat (big win), and we loved the stash of games (well the winners did) The location was a dream….right on the water and walking distance to some food spots and liquor stores. Only downside? The weather didn’t let us fully enjoy the dock and patio, but we were too busy loving everything inside.

Gorgeous lake property! The cabin is so cute and rustic, and definitely conveys the peaceful simplicity of days gone by. The kitchen amenities are good since we ate in many nights. The bedrooms are spaced nicely apart, were clean, comfortable and the kids especially loved the bunks with the wide assortment of books and games! It doesn't have a TV - which is a good thing - so we just used out ipads and connected to the WIFI for those times when the kids were tuckered out and just needed some quiet time. It's a great location and walkable to downtown Alden. The sunsets are stunning with lots of seating and tables outside to enjoy! Chris is very friendly and super responsive and when I sent messages, he immediately responded. A great host!! We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Torch!! (We also rented a pontoon from Chris which worked out great since we were able to enjoy the sandbar at the South end of the lake).

Corey’s place was perfect for our needs. We loved being able to pull into the garage and let our dogs out directly into the fenced yard. The home was beautiful, very clean and had a wonderful layout. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms, there were even games. We enjoyed the beach access and the sunrise and sunset views. I really hope get another chance to stay here.

This place is really special and I can’t wait to come back and experience it again. You can tell it is someone’s home and it’s treated with care and full of good energy. It has everything you need to stay in and enjoy it’s beautiful space with views that are absolutely unbeatable.

Home was well stocked with all the necessities and supplies! We enjoyed a relaxing long weekend on the lake and evenings by the fire. The space was accommodating for 6, 2 adults and 4 teenagers.

We had a wonderful week at this cottage. The cozy ambiance was just what we hoped for. The boat lift was easy to use , and we were close to Alden and the sandbar. It was great to be walking distance to town. We highly recommend this property.
