    Weekend getaway
    We invited friends to a spur of the moment we can get away in Alden on torch lake. We were happy to find such a cute little cottage right in the center of town on short notice. The cottage was in a great location. It was plenty of room for two couples, I would definitely visit again!

    Adorable Cottage Downtown Alden
    I’ve been vacationing in this area my entire life and have family that lives in Bellaire. This cottage was adorable and clean, stocked with almost everything needed for a vacation. The decor was so cute and eclectic, the backyard was great for my little kids to play in, and we loved walking to get ice cream in town every night. The road the cottage is on can be busy and the cars sometimes drive fast, so I worried with my little kids. That is no fault of the cottage or owners. We loved our stay here!

    Cute little cottage for a small group
    This is a wonderful little house. Two full bedrooms. A pull out sofa in the living room. Kitchen was fully stocked. Within walking distance of downtown Alden and the Alden Harbor. It would be great if it had a washer/dryer since there were only 2 bath towels provided but since we were just there a week we managed. Probably my only criticism would be the claw foot tub. If you have anyone in your group that isn’t agile and steady on their feet this tub/shower is an accident waiting to happen. The tub side is quiet high, there is nothing to hang onto to get in or out and the circular shower rod/curtain that hangs above the tub poses a challenge for keeping the water in the tub and not on the floor during a shower. We really did enjoy our stay though and would probably stay here again.

    DELIGHTFUL!!
    The Alden Cottage was wonderful. Very nicely decorated and over all very clean. Loved sitting on either the back deck or front porch watching life go by! Our neighbor was very friendly and spent several nights regaling us with stories of Alden. Close to our property on Torch and Charlevoix and Traverse City was a nice drive. Overall- a great place to stay!

    Great Stay Just A Short Walk to Torch Lake
    Overall, we had a great weekend in Alden MI! The cottage was just perfect for the holiday weekend. The property is just as shown in the listing and pictures don’t do it justice. The cottage was adorable, clean, and comfortable. Checkin was easy with picking up the keys from the rental company down the street. We will definitely be back!
