About this property

Torch Lake Dream Cottage

This is a completely non-smoking property. If there are smokers in your party, please select another property that allows smoking.

Cozy and quaint lakefront Dream Cottage has two bedrooms, one with a queen and one very small room with a full. All linens are provided. In the living room is a sleeper sofa and large screen wall-mounted TV. The bathroom has small shower stall. Towels are provided although you may want to bring beach towels.

The small galley kitchen is also completely equipped with pots and pans, and small appliances incuding blender, mixer, can opener, toaster, microwave, Mr. Coffee, and mini-keurig. A propame gas grill is right outside the kitchen door.

Read or play games on the covered porch while you take in the lake or sit on the Adirondack chairs on the lawn.. Swim out to the raft or to your own boat moored in front of the cottage. Take the kayaks out. No boat? Rent from Torch River Marina or Alden Marine one mile away.

Note that boat mooring and kayak paddling are at your own risk. Owner assumes no liability.

This cottage was built circa 1930 and is up to date, but not modern. It is a non-smoking property with a maximum of 4 overnight guests and a limit of two vehicles. We ask that you recycle to reduce Northern Michigan landfills and we make it easy.

Streaming TV and wifi is available.

The owners live next door, but leave you to enjoy your stay unless you have questions. However, consider whether you are comfortable with owners nearby.

Relaxing Vacation
We’ve rented Gary’s Dream Cottage on and off for years. It’s a cute small place but has enough space for my family of 3 plus my Dad and my Aunt. We love Torch Lake and this was the perfect space for us! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by GM

Host profile image
Gary's family is one of the oldest families on the lake. His Grandfather was a Presbyterian Minister in Bartlesville Oklahoma who took summers off to come all the way to Torch Lake to fish, eventually retiring here and serving the Elk Rapids Presbyterian church. Gary's Dad retired as an MD here. Now it's Gary's turn.

Why they chose this property

One of the first cottages on the south end of the lake, it was acquired around 1930 because it was next door to the family cottage. It was renovated about 1955. It has a knotty pine interior, hardwood floors, and ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathroom.

What makes this property unique

You will fall in love with this cottage and the lake from the large covered porch. This is the spot to be on the lake, close enough to the sand bar if you want to spend time there but far enough away to not be bothered by all the boats and activity.
