The Forge at Torch Lake: nearby lake access and boat ramp, boat trailer parking

A perfect retreat just steps away from everything Northern Michigan has to offer. Come and relax in a charming, vintage studio with all the comforts in a quiet wooded setting.

This cozy studio has a queen bed with luxury linens and a pull-out sofa, a full kitchen with vintage appliances, and a relaxing bathroom with rain showerhead. From charming vintage touches to modern amenities, you’ll feel right at home.

We’re conveniently located close to it all, but on 6 acres of serene, wooded privacy. At the top of the hill, enjoy a private picnic spot with views of Torch Lake and Old Mission Peninsula. Open the French doors and enjoy a book on your patio or take a quick walk across the street to Torch Lake. With 2 public access points within a 5 min walk for swimming or nonmotorized watersports and a short 5 min drive to the North Torch boat launch, the Caribbean blue water of Torch Lake is at your fingertips. Dozens of hikes, mountain bike trails and the entire Chain of Lakes are on your doorstep. If shopping, farmers markets, festivals, or nightlife are more your scene, we’re conveniently located between Bellaire, Charlevoix and Elk Rapids. On Sundays, walk next door to grab donuts at the iconic Brownwood Acres Country Store or shop their old-fashioned General Store. Check out a pop-up Mexican feast at Providence Farms. Pick peaches, cherries or apples at King Orchard. Or head out for ice cream with all the fixings at Fudgees in Central Lake.

With a classic Up North-feel, the Forge at Torch Lake is a comfortable retreat for exploring everything or letting it all soak in.

Great getaway
Perfect place up north for a couple. Only suggestion is getting a king size bed and a second night stand. There's plenty of room for it.

Unique Studio Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at The Forge. It’s interesting to see the architecture of a cord built room and the light from all the windows is really lovely. The kitchen is cute and efficient and it was very clean. It rained while we were there and the patter of rain on the roof was very soothing. We’ll definitely be back! It was a great location for running thru several little towns and visiting nearby orchards.

Wedding weekend
My husband and I stayed in this cute cozy place for a wedding weekend in Central Lake. It is very true to its listing and is a basic studio that had what we needed for the weekend. 2 things to note if you’re renting - the coffee pot is a Keurig and we needed to pick up pods which was fine (Dollar store). Also the listing is clear there isn’t a hair dryer and that is in fact the case. :). Enjoy this lovely area!!

Great gem!
My boyfriend and I were very happy with our stay! Communication was quick and efficient. The house was perfect for a long weekend; all of the detail made it cozy and inviting. Proximity to the lake was a nice perk. The surroundings were peaceful. They do have basic kitchen items. The towels are nice, it’s nice that they have shampoo in case you forget yours. If you’re a boater, the driveway is perfect for parking and easy in and out. Would definitely stay again!

The Forge is nice.
Very nice place. Everything was clean and tidy. It has a very minimal kitchen so don’t plan on making any elaborate meals. Other than that it was perfect for our needs for a weekend stay to attend a wedding. Would def stay again for a similar situation.
