About this home

Step back in time and make lasting family memories at Cranberry Cottage, one of the oldest homes on Torch Lake—perfectly blending historic charm with relaxed lakefront living. With its own sandy beach area, day dock, and sweeping lake views, this classic cottage offers everything you need for a fun, peaceful getaway. Inside, you’ll find five comfortable bedrooms and two full baths, ideal for families or groups of up to ten. Guests love the cozy beds, well-stocked kitchen, and inviting stone fireplace—perfect for those cool northern Michigan evenings. The laundry room off the kitchen adds modern convenience, while the large covered patio and shoreline fire pit invite you to relax, share stories, and watch unforgettable sunsets. The location couldn’t be better—just ¼ mile from The Dockside and DeWitt’s Marina, where you can rent a boat or grab a casual lakeside meal. Many guests enjoy paddling, swimming, or renting a pontoon right from the dock. Towels are provided (including some beach towels), and a new gas grill makes lakeside cookouts easy and fun. Families rave about how peaceful, convenient, and comfortable Cranberry Cottage is—close to groceries and restaurants, yet offering the privacy and nostalgia of a true up-north retreat. Whether you’re unwinding by the fire, swimming at the beach, or simply enjoying the timeless beauty of Torch Lake, Cranberry Cottage is the perfect place to reconnect and recharge. All guests must be 25 or older, unless families with small children. A refundable $500 security deposit is required and will be refunded after departure, if there are no issues.
