Summer on Torch Lake waterfront with sandy beach.

This beautiful cottage is situated on an expansive private lot with sandy beach on the south side of Torch Lake. The unobstructed view from the house and deck look north across the crystal clear waters of the lake - ideal for viewing both the sunrise and sunset. The south side of the lake is shallow and has a beautiful sandy bottom, perfect for swimming and playing any time of the day or night. A gorgeous new dock includes a large platform for six to comfortably hang out or sunbathe. There's a hoist for a motor boat and a mooring anchor for other watercraft. This is one of the most stunning rental properties on Torch Lake.

The house has a large living space with ample seating and three bedrooms to comfortably sleep six. We offer modern amenities, updated, comfortable furnishings, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, dishwasher, washer and dryer, eat-in bar, and everything you need to feel at home.

Please Note: Saturday check in and Saturday check out only June 29-Aug. 31. Thank you.

Property Location: The cottage is located 1.5 miles from Torch River and Torch River Marine where you can rent pontoon and speed boats. It is approximately 5 miles south of Alden, which has shops, restaurants, and tennis/pickleball courts, and less than a mile from the Village Market grocery store. You are a boat ride away from the Dockside restaurant at Clam River, where you can sit outside, watch the boats go by, and enjoy lunch or dinner. You are a short 20 minute drive from Traverse City, and an hour from Sleeping Bear Dunes. Other darling

Beautiful House: The cottage is lovely and airy and boasts all of the comforts and convenience of home, including a fully stocked kitchen and a washer and dryer. A large deck is great for outdoor dining. A boat hoist is available for speed boats plus there is a heavy duty mooring anchor 100 feet from shore for a second watercraft. Long dock has a large deck that comfortably accommodates six lounge chairs.

Fantastic spot
Our family absolutely loved staying here. Everything was better than expected. We had two littles with us (2 yr old & 3 yr old) and the water toys and bin of toys in the house were a huge hit. You can't get much better than Torch Lake and this house was fantastic. We can't say enough good things about it. Alisa was so quick to respond with my random questions and was so kind.

Great location!
This is a cute little house that was perfect for our family. Very clean and had everything we needed. Response time was very fast for the one issue we had (coffee maker broken, no big deal). The lake is so clean and nice and not as busy as we dreaded. Really close nice market and cute town of Alden. We loved it here!

Nightmare stay
We were so excited to visit torch lake! Rented a boat for the week and drove 8 hours to vacation here. Arrived on a Saturday to mouse poop all over the kitchen counter, on dish-ware, along the floor in bedroom off the kitchen. Immediately reached out to the homeowner . No response from her until 8 hours later. Had to clean all of this up before we could use anything or even put our groceries away. The owner did text us at 2 AM letting us know she would have an exterminator come out on Monday… in the meantime we bought traps placed them in the kitchen and garage where they were coming in. After catching several mice, we decided to pack up and leave. We took the financial loss on our boat rental because unfortunately there were no other properties available to rent on the entire lake. The owner was far from polite or considerate. Stating that she had no control over there being mice in the house and acted like getting an exterminator 2 days later was acceptable. She only refunded us because VRBO finally stepped in as this was a health amd safety concern.

Great location for Torch lake activities
Rustic cottage with beautiful views and quiet location. Has updated living room furniture. Bedrooms in general could use an update but overall has what you need. No AC but fans throughout, still brought our own but has nice breeze from lake. Outstanding access to Torch lake, no stairs and somewhat of a slope to small beach and dock. Beautiful clear water, shallow, and sandy bottom with few rocks. Dock, mooring buoy, and boat hoist a definite plus for lake activities. On arrival, had issues with housekeeping chores not completed and previous renters did not take care of recyclables or put out trash and left items in frig which we had to deal with but housekeeping should have caught. Owner quickly responded to issues. Got chigger bites from the well known sandbar, as son didn’t go with us there and does not have one bite. Would consider renting again.

Great Stay!
We had a wonderful week at this property. Clean (but could use some updated linen), beds were comfortable, and plenty of fans (no AC!). The beach was great, but watch out for swimmer's itch. Do your homework before you go so you don't itch all week. The living room cabinet was stocked with puzzles and games. We rented a kayak and paddle board from Alden Marine & Sport. They were great!

Great, restful time away
Absolutely loved this property. The check in/out was easy. There were plenty of toys around for kids, easy login for the tv, and awesome patio to relax on. The sandy beach was perfect for sitting and readying withy your feet in the sand. The lake was perfect on a hot day. Beautiful

Spectacular spring sunsets and sunrises
We really enjoyed our time at the property. It had a rustic feel and smelled of pine trees. I was very impressed with how clean it was when we arrived (with exception of one of the bedroom fans). We enjoyed all the changing conditions of the water and watching the sunset every night. It was too cold to swim when we came but we still enjoyed hanging out by the shore looking for rocks. The house was in the perfect location to be a home base to venture out to other places we wanted to explore such as Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Cheboygan, and Mackinac Island. We would definitely recommend this house.
