This is such a perfect spot!! The layout of the home and the cleanliness was top notch. Access to Torch Lake was our top priority and that was also seamless with a person dock. The game room was also a huge hit!!!!This is definitely a spot we will return to!

We were lucky to be the first guests at this beautiful house. There were six of us and we enjoyed the house, the patio and game room. We brought our boat to the private dock from the boat launch near the sandbar on torch lake. Easy access to torch lake, torch river, lake skegemog and elk lake. We cooked out on the electric grill many nights and enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. The house and location is so peaceful in the wooded setting. Great for bird watching and listening, and saw many deer while sitting on the deck. Would definitely rent this house again!
