Property is a beach front property. This cottage is right on Torch Lake, with no other buildings between it and the lake. Distance to the lake is about 200 feet. This resort has 263' of frontage on Torch Lake, most of which is a boulder retaining wall. We have a sandy ramp area that allows you to walk down into the lake, which has a sandy bottom with lots of rocks, and we have a boating dock and a swimming dock, both brand new in 2005. We also have a swimming raft from which to enjoy the legendary crystal clear waters of Torch Lake. There are moorings for daytime use only, and on a first come, first served basis.
