Lakefront Torch Lake Home - Cottage Atmosphere \/ Over 4K Sq Ft
About this house rental
The Torch Lake lakefront is among the Midwest’s most popular vacation destinations—that’s what happens when you’re named one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. There are many different styles of homes along Torch Lake, but there are few that have the cozy yet luxurious appeal of “Gentle Spirit,” a truly exceptional home that stands out from the rest. What’s amazing about Gentle Spirit is that it feels like a classic Michigan cottage and yet it provides vacationers with an expansive 4,500 square-feet of living space and five fully-outfitted bedrooms that make it easy to sleep 14 members of your friends and family. The aesthetic of Gentle Spirit is tranquil, calming, and beautiful, but it also offers every amenity that a traveler could want. A fireplace, a stocked modern kitchen, six bathrooms, Wi-Fi, smart TVs with cable, washer/dryer, and almost anything else you need. But let’s not forget about Gentle Spirit’s true appeal—it’s location. This custom-built home sits on the banks of Michigan’s largest inland land by depth and volume, a lake that’s world-famous for its crystal-clear waters that make it look like you’re in the Caribbean. Visitors to Gentle Spirit can sit outside on the property’s expertly maintained deck and lakeshore, taking in the majesty of one of Michigan’s true natural wonders. You can take your boat out from the pristine dock or just sit alongside the dock’s edge and dangle your feet into the glacial waters. Gentle Spirit's dock offers you one 6,000 lb capacity pontoon boat hoist, which can take pontoons up to 27 feet in length. We also have a mooring line for your use as well. Every aspect of the home is equal parts comfortable and immaculate. Properties like this—on this exclusive lakefront—can be hard to come by. You will not find a better or more welcoming place to enjoy Torch Lake than Gentle Spirit. Gentle Spirit is a short drive from wineries, Short’s Brewery, Elk Rapids, Traverse City, and local golf, hiking, and sporting locations. It’s in a perfect vacation location, but what you’ll never forget about this 4,500-square-foot lakefront property is how it allows you to experience Torch Lake in such an intimate setting. There are only a handful of “Spirit” homes in the Torch Lake area—all owned by the same family who have spent decades building some of the most astonishing vacation homes in Michigan. Don’t miss this rare chance to spend some time at Gentle Spirit and have the vacation of a lifetime.

We had a group of friends for a long weekend and the house was a perfect spot. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom which was excellent. The house was as advertised. Checkin process was smooth. The fire pit was stocked with wood. Overall we had a terrific experience and would be happy to come back next year!

Overall we had a great time. I didn’t realize the number of stairs on the property which I should have asked. A few rooms had incomplete paint jobs. The kitchen faucet needs to be replaced. Door off the kitchen lock needs fixing. Electrical wires exposed on ground. The ceiling it bowing on the outside deck. Cosmetically for the price, we expected more. The lay out, # of bathrooms, dock system, hoist, garage, and the amount of room was all great! The property manager Cody was awesome. The maintenance team did a great job maintaining the grounds while we we there. You barely even noticed them. The property felt private and secluded! We would come back. It was a great trip.

Awesome location right on the lake, just as advertised. However, some pretty inexpensive furniture upgrades would go a long way - the deck furniture on the patio and out by the water was mostly broken, pretty dirty, and just felt cheap - wouldn’t take much to make it a lot more pleasant. Overall though, can’t beat this location if you’re looking to be on the water at torch.

The listing is very accurate. Property is clean and spacious and communication with the manager was timely. Can’t beat the location right on Torch.

Lovely stay, beautiful home and setting
Absolutely lovely stay at this property. The house was extremely comfortable and spacious for our multigenerational family vacation. Cody was kind and very responsive. Beautiful setting. The backyard and dock were a great thing to have. Especially enjoyed the kayaks. We will be planning another stay in Michigan in the future! Thank you for a great trip!
