Torch Lake Sandbar FUN! Pontoon!!Amazing fall views! Hot tub!! Ski Area Book now

10/10 Excellent

"My husband, our pup, and I have been vacationing in Northern Michigan every October for years to celebrate our anniversary, and we’ve stayed in many rental homes. This year, our daughter and grandson joined us, and we stayed at this home for the first time. We were absolutely blown away! The expansive property, gorgeous views, hot tub, and beautiful home stocked with everything you could possibly need made this a dream come true! The trails throughout the property and the privacy allowed our pup to be off-leash while we were outside with him. He was a completely different dog—no anxiety, barking, or agitation. He loved it just as much as we did! We took long walks throughout the property and still didn’t manage to explore all of it. Since we didn’t have a lot of time and only had one day of sunshine, we took a few side trips. We got to experience the unbelievable beauty of Torch Lake for the first time, and my husband even taught our grandson to fish. And the location is close enough to Glen Arbor/Empire, Sleeping Bear and Lake Michigan that we were able to do a day trip. Such wonderful memories! I honestly don’t have adequate words to describe the beauty, peaceful setting, and gorgeous home. I’m already planning our return trip- and this time, we’re staying longer! We’ve had several wonderful rental experiences over the years, but none even came close to this home and I’m so grateful to Dale and Mike for sharing it with us!"

Welcome to Serenity Shores! 🌅 Soak in the private hot tub, unwind by the fire pit 🔥, and savor calming lake views. Pet-friendly 🐾 and perfect for recharging, exploring, and making memories.

"Third stay here and each time gets a little longer. Jason and Nicole have created the perfect cabin in a perfect setting. Never have I seen my husband and our dog happier. Clean, well stocked, great hot tub. Perfection! Thank you guys!"

Fiebing's Rustic/Remote Cabin on two Private Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"This property is rustic but is described as such, so if you are looking for the four seasons, don’t come here and then complain. It is a WONDERFUL rustic cabin with so much room to roam on trails through the woods and around the lakes. There are lots of fish in the lake and wildlife in the woods. Everything is very comfortable. Highly recommend."

Private Cabin with Lake Views Near Torch Lake, Fire Pit & Boat Parking

10/10 Excellent

"This property is an absolute gem and will definitely be our go-to for future trips! The home was immaculate inside and out, incredibly well-stocked, and easily accommodated our group of six without anyone feeling crowded. We loved the peaceful, secluded grounds and beautiful views. Having easy lake access and dedicated boat parking was a massive plus. To top it off, the hosts were extremely accommodating and highly responsive."
