Great Location
The house was in a great location on Torch. Five minutes to the sandbar and ten minutes to dockside. The house was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

TePapa Does Not Disappoint
TePapa was the perfect property. This was our first time booking through VRBO and the owners made everything so easy, communication was timely and the description doesn't do it the justice it deserves. The view from the cottage is amazing. Torch Lake is one of our favorite locations and it was wonderful to get back after a few years of missing our happy place. Tepapa exceeded our expectations and shined in comparison to other rentals we have had on the lake. The previous reviews on cleanliness are spot on, the place is very clean! The property is well cared for, and the location was private. We felt right at home and wanted for nothing. We look forward to booking in the future and it made the ten-year anniversary of our engagement on the lake very special.

Te Papa (Our Place) Cottage has provided our family with happy memories for 4 generations. Its tranquil surroundings have provided a constant haven in our lives. We are delighted to share it's charm with our guests while we are living in Chicago to be near our 2 new grandchildren.

What makes this property unique

Torch Lake offers so many adventures, from cruising the Chain of Lakes, to visiting the sandbar. We love the old growth stand of trees between the cottage and the road that makes the cottage quiet and secluded. We see deer, foxes, and many birds from the back patio. The view of the lake from the livingroom and deck is stunning!
