The cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Originally designed as a house with a separate guest house, we have connected them to create one larger vacation home.Spend the day relaxing in the shallow, crystal clear river, or kayak for miles! Torch Lake is just a short kayak trip away. (4 adult kayaks, 2 children’s kayaks, and a canoe provided)You cannot get a boat to the dock due to shallow water. The house sits less than a mile from the DNR boat launch though so bring your boat and drop it in for a day on the Lake!
