We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves right on the water of a wonderful lake . Fishing was awesome. Peace and quiet plus. The house was great but no dishwasher, had to put my husband to work. I’d do it all again!

My wife, four children (ages 16-22) and I spent a splendid week at the Burke's cottage. We found the Cozy Cottage on Torch Lake exactly as advertised. The cottage sits right down on the lake providing great access for water activities and great views of the lake. The lake has a nice sandy bottom in front of the cottage and it is relatively shallow several yards out. There is a mooring line out front which made it easy to secure the pontoon boat which we rented from a site on the lake. There is a nice deck on the back of the cottage with a gas grill where we enjoyed several meals around the picnic table. We also enjoyed nightly fires around the fire pit in the front yard. This was a great place to enjoy each others company. I strongly recommend the Burke's cottage to those looking for a similar experience.

Cottage get away with modern anenities
This is the second year we have rented this place because we absolutely love it! Very clean and provides a comfy cottage atmosphere while providing modern amenities. Plenty of room outside for lawn games, grilling and bonfires. We will continue to rent it each year if available.

The experience was a fun one for our family! The lake, the weather, the time together was made possible by the owners allowing us into their home! We so appreciate this and feel so thankful to have had the opportunity. There were some issues with the home itself that took away from the overall enjoyment and would not return to this specific home.

We have rented properties on different lakes in Northern Michigan for 9 summers and the Burkes home on Torch was one we would revisit. It was definitely a cottage but had all the amenities you would need. Having an extra 1/2 bath was important. We didn't use the beautiful back deck as much as we could have as we enjoyed the lake view on the other side of the house. We had a bon fire every night and we were on the lake ( and the lake is breathtaking and beautiful) every day. It's really nice that you can go right over to Elk Rapids in your boat!
We had an issue parking our 22 foot boat trailer but Henry worked it out for us.

Excellent lakefront property with lots of sandy shallow area for all ages with easy entry into the lake. House has all of the necessary amenities and the master bedroom lake-facing wall is windows so the view is remarkable along with the sounds of the water at night. Great for our family!
5.0
The property is situated in a beautiful wooded area right on the water. The lay out of the home is well done, providing much more space than what you may initially think. There are nice updates balanced with the quaint cabin decor. Incredibly clean, organized with plenty of electronic equipment and plug ins for convenience. The owners are very responsive and communicative. The boat ride to the sand bar is approximately 20-30 minutes depending on size of boat, weight, etc. The dock is not equipped to secure the boat so you have to use the moor, which is feasible, it can just be inconvenient and chilly to continuously walk through the water to get to the boat. We have been coming to Torch Lake for 10 years and have rented several different places, this was truly our favorite!

The sunrise view over Torch Lake is awesome in the morning. The cottage is conveniently located a short drive away from Elk Rapids for access to dining and shopping. With this rental, there is easy access to the water for swimming and launching kayaks. A wonderful place to spend a relaxing vacation on beautiful Torch Lake.

Great value!
Very clean & cozy spot on the lake! Super electronics & amazing view- kitchen was well stocked with cookware & spices, but outdoor furniture could be updated. Owner responded to our many inquiries quickly. Great location- short drive to Elk Rapids & Charlevoix which were fun! This place is relaxing & an excellent value for a family get away!

Completely delightful cottage on Torch!
We had a wonderful week in the Burke's cottage! It lacks nothing - from all the physical amenities (cool air, comfortable beds, washer, dryer, right on the lake) to the nice touches (coffee, spices, beach towels, lots of TV's), it was a wonderful experience! We would definitely return for a vacation with family or friends. A lovely, clean, comfortable cottage!

Excellent location, clean and roomy
Henry and dawn, owners, are excellent. No hassle booking and their place is amazing, clean and in a great location. Torch lake is beautiful. We rented a pontoon for the week from dockside and it was an excellent experience. We will hopefully be back next year!!!

Beautiful place
Mr Burke was very gracious, and accommodated my family with short notice and irregular scheduling dates. His house is nicer than what appears in the pictures. It is very comfortable with AC, laundry, plenty of hot water, and large screen TV with satellite! Most importantly the lakefront access is very private and beautiful with a small beach area for kids to play on and very shallow water going out even past the dock making it safe for kids to swim and play. We rented Kayaks and had a great time. Warning for those with smaller kids, his house if full of cute little knick knacks that attract small hands! you may want to watch the kids around the house. Overall a wonderful location with the beauty of torch lake with the privacy we wanted.
