Perfect Getaway
This was the perfect vacation getaway for our family. The cottage was clean, spacious, and roomy. The view of Torch Lake was fantastic! We swam right off the pier in crystal clear water. The caretakers were timely in the communications to us and checked in on us throughout the week. We will definitely be back!

LOVELY LAKE HOUSE VACATION
Our family of six had a great week at Te Papa Cottage on gorgeous Torch Lake. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed having a/c, the kayaks, and the firepit. We spent our days on the lake at the sand bar. The view of the water from the cottage is beautiful and serene. Very relaxing. We are booked for next year. Thank you so much!

Our stay at Torch was great! The cottage was very clean and the shallow water by the house and boat lift were huge pluses. The lake was crystal clear with close proximity to many fun activities to do with the kids. Highly recommend!

Amazing time on the water!
Our family had a great time at Tepapa this past week (Aug 18-25)! The cottage had everything we expected and the view was breathtaking. We kayaked, swam, sat on the dock, enjoyed s'mores most days and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere of the cottage. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable trip. We will definitely be back!

A very nice and comfortable Stay
This is such a wonderful place for the family. Hubby was very surprised with the cleanliness and the availability of supplies, even though we mostly used our own. The kids loved the toys. We all love the view, and the peace and quiet. We’re planning for next year when water is warmer. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Frank DeMann

Host profile image
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!
