"Shanty Creek was a great place to stay. The room was spacious, clean, and private. The restaurant on site had fun specials after 5 pm and there was a shuttle that took you to the bar in town. Pool area seemed well kept, and so did the grounds in general. I'd totally stay here again. "
"Torch Lake B&B was amazing! The hosts, Mike and Deb had EVERYTHING you could possibly need or want available to us. The breakfasts were outstanding. We can’t say enough good things about our stay."

New - Peaceful 4-bed getaway across from Clam Lake
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. My family really enjoyed ourselves and it was very dog friendly. Sue was quick to respond to any questions and address any needs. I only scored 4 on cleanliness because the front porch and back patio could use a scrubbing, and maybe some flowers to add some color. I would have liked to have a better view of Clam Lake so that is why I only gave it 4 stars for location. But access to Dockside and pontoon rentals was super convenient. And a quick drive to access Torch Lake swimming. I would also recommend some new bed sheets that are not jersey knit. They were a little warm for sleeping in for July. Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this property."
BLUE SPRUCE COTTAGE - Modern Lake House w/ shared Frontage on Thayer Lake
10/10 Excellent
"We've been coming to the Torch Lake area for 30 years with my family. This year was our first time staying at Thayer Lake and we were very pleased with our experience. Still super close to Torch and Thayer Lake Retreats offered a lot of things for our family to do. Our grandkids loved going to the beach and swimming out to the large raft, kayaking, fishing, and the hot tub! Host was easy to contact regarding access to home. Very clean and nicely decorated."
Torch lake waterfront:100 ft of sandy beach, 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage
8/10 Good
"We recently stayed at this Torch Lake home with a group of nine — including my wife, our infant daughter, our dog, and extended family — and had a fantastic time. The property is tucked away in the woods, offering a quiet, peaceful atmosphere while still being right on the water — exactly what we were looking for.The home is older but very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space and beds for everyone in our group to feel comfortable. The beachfront access and private dock were hands-down the best features. Being able to go for a swim, sit on the deck, or watch the sunset over the lake whenever we pleased was incredible. The s’mores bag waiting for us at check-in was a great personal touch.The surrounding Alden area is always charming, with great local shops, restaurants, and bars nearby. The house was stocked with helpful amenities, and the host was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the stay.A few things to note: the house interior is a bit dated, and there's no A/C, which might be worth considering depending on the time of year. Also, the spiral staircase — while unique — was a bit tricky for both little ones and older adults. The checkout instructions were fairly detailed, especially regarding laundry, so just be sure to plan a little extra time on your departure day.That said, we’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a true lakefront experience. With some minor modern updates over time, this spot will continue to be a gem."
