Lake side house rentals in Torch Lake Township

We enjoyed our stay at John’s. It was just a described. The kids loved the paddle boards, kayaks and floating dock. We appreciated all the recommendations that were provided on the wall and in the books around the house. The kitchen had everything needed for us to eat most meals at the house and the grill was nice.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Round Haven. It is a beautiful location and has all the right necessities. The bed was so comfortable and it was very quiet as the house sits off the road nicely.

if you're looking for a place to stay I highly recommend the guest house! Cherie was wonderful and the house was close to a park for fishing and swimming. location was great in between Petoskey and traverse City. can't wait to come back and stay again

This little cottage was absolutely adorable! It was very clean and decorated beautifully. It had every amenity that you could ask for and had a great view of gorgeous Torch Lake. Karen was extremely friendly and very helpful with suggestions and recommendations for local restaurants and things to do and responded quickly with any questions that we had. We would definitely rent this home again.

Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay in my favorite up north town. Chelsea’s place was adorable and it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to be. Loved the yard, the water, the decor…everything was perfect.

Rachel and Dan’s place is fantastic! The location was perfect for scooting around Leelanau and the room was incredibly comfortable. The long lawn out front of the resort is ideal for outdoor games, a view of the bay, and peaceful wine sipping. Dan and Rachel were both very welcoming and the added bonus of coffee in the morning made this stay the best. We’d definitely book with them again.

We really enjoyed our mothers day weekend at your place. Very peaceful and relaxing.

We had a wonderful time. The hammock is perfect! Photos do not do it justice.

The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

You will instantly fall in love with the quiet lakefront beauty and the breath-taking and welcoming home just 60 or so feet from the water. The main floor of the house is close to lake level making the drama of nature around you compelling and inspiring. The waterfront and waves lapping the stone and sand shore are visible from almost all the rooms of the house, and it's a short walk to River Street in Elk Rapids. Traverse Magazine readers voted River Street "in the top 10 of ‘Sweet Small-Town Main Streets in Northern Michigan.'” The pace of life is calming in this lovely town and in this beautiful home. Owner Bernadette and property manager Sam make you feel perfectly at home. Response time to messages is instant, polite, and friendly. There's so much enjoyment to be had for all ages here.

This is a one of a kind property. It’s a safe place for the kids to run around and explore. We loved the disc golf so much.

Everything as pictured and described. We fit comfortably with plenty of room. Great location, close to everything. Host was easy to communicate with and friendly. Awesome gameroom for kids. Mother in law suite smelled a little musty, and also no closets or dressers in there for ur clothes. It would be nice if there was at least 1 dresser. But worked for what we needed.

very friendly host! House was big and we loved the big window as it snowed! It also had all kinds of toys and games, for in and outside.

Great place to stay, close to the lake and fun amenities at the house! Troy was very responsive the whole stay.

I was incredibly happy with our stay here and felt right at home. This might sound silly, but I love that they leave all of their cleaning supplies there so I could clean and vacuum throughout the week. I also loved how there was a closet with hangers, empty dressers, and a clothes hamper. I didn't have to feel like I was living out of my suitcase. I loved the design of the house, especially the kitchen. It's what really set this home apart from others for me. We brought our own paddle boards but the water was still pretty cold, so we opted to use the kayaks Brandi provided instead. We so appreciated that and it was such a short drive to the water! I would definitely stay here again.

The house was perfect, very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and pots and pans. We would definitely recommend this place and will stay again if it’s available when we plan to come north.

We THOROUGHLY enjoyed our stay!! The place was just perfect for 2 people. Amber was an EXCELLENT host!!!! Very responsive and helpful. We hated leaving!! lol. We will definitely be coming back and staying at the cozy office again!! Thank you so much! ❤️👍🏻

Sarah was extremely communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. She even checked in on us one night to make sure we knew how to turn the heat on. (Very sweet!) The cottage is clean and comfortable, with everything you need for a long weekend. We enjoyed the fire-pit and board games! The area is gorgeous, with quick access to Traverse, Petosky, and Charlevoix. We saw lots of deer, bunnies, and squirrels, and the leaves were absolutely gorgeous! This is a GREAT little hideaway! We’d definitely come back! Thank you Sarah for sharing your home with us! We appreciate you!

Jayne and the Robins Nest is an absolute delight. The cabin is located right off the road easy to find. The location is beautiful and secluded, with a stream running through the back of the lot. Tons of foliage(ferns and small pines) and downed trees which add to the charm of the cabin. It's truly like living in the middle of the woods. Jayne was amazing very accommodating and attentive to any of our needs. such a lovely host!! The cabin is quaint and lovely on the inside the wood stove was our favorite part of the stay. Composting toilet was a bit unusual at first but is just fine after the initial go. we will definately be back again to visit this wonderful off grid adventure.

We recently stayed at this breathtaking Airbnb, and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was! The location offers stunning panoramic views—whether you’re enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery is simply unforgettable. The house itself is beautifully well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. After a long day, we gathered around the firepit to enjoy the warmth and make s’mores. It was a magical way to end the evenings, and the hosts provided all the tools and ingredients we needed to make the experience perfect. This place is truly a peaceful retreat and has all the comforts you could ask for. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of nature, comfort, and a memorable stay! Amanda's kindness and care for their guests made us feel welcome. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. A wonderful host who made sure our family vacation would be memorable and special.

Michael was very responsive. He had courtesy to text before coming to the cabin. He has a great personality and very friendly. The cottage was beautiful, clean and peaceful which is what we were looking for . We had such a relaxing time that we are planning for next years trip and staying there. We had cottage 1 and what a beautiful view of the lake. My husband was able to fish with boat provided and enjoyed himself.. Overall wonderful experience. Thank you Michael.

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with this Airbnb! The hosts were exceptional—warm, responsive, and attentive to every detail, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond with thoughtful touches, clear communication, and local recommendations that elevated our trip. The property itself was stunning, nestled in breathtaking surroundings that felt like a postcard come to life. The serene views and peaceful atmosphere were exactly what we needed for a perfect getaway. The space was spotless, beautifully designed, and a showcase of Molly and Ken’s artistic talent and craftsmanship. I can’t recommend this Airbnb enough—five stars all the way for the incredible hosts and gorgeous setting!

We had an amazing experience at the cottage! The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, the private dock was perfect for cooling off and taking our canoe out. Kevin and Pat were amazing hosts They left us little goodies/snacks and we had plenty of coffee, cream, sugar etc for us to enjoy on the screened in porch! The beds were super cozy and the ac unit and fans did their job when we needed them. All around we reccomend this place to anyone looking for a cozy stay in an absolutely beautiful location! We would 100% stay here again.
