Property Description
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. At night, see the Big Dipper and, when it’s super dark and clear, the Big Dipper.
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.

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.

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!

Perfect Spot for Families
We had a lovely week on Torch Lake. With kids ranging from 12-5, the shallow waters directly in front of the property were perfect for our family. The home itself was perfectly sized for our family of five, giving everyone their own space while also providing nicely sized family spots. The house is incredibly quaint with many charming decorative touches. It brought back many memories of lake vacations from my own childhood. It’s also important to mention that this house comes incredibly well stocked for a rental. Every kitchen tool you could possibly need, and then-some, was available to us. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy Torch Lake!

Torch lake getaway
Alisa was great. Provided all the information we needed for our stay. Cottage is located on the beautiful south shore. Amazing views of the lake. The cottage is comfortable and had everything we needed. The dock/deck was outstanding for sunbathing and incredible sunset views. Plenty of outdoor seating was available. We will definitely stay again.

Perfect Torch Lake property
The house was in the perfect location for the sand bar. This house is at the quiet end of the sand bar. So if you like piece this is your place. However if you want to be in the crowd its a short boat ride or paddleboard ride.

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.

Our family of 4 had the absolute best vacation thanks to this beautiful home, large dock and perfect South Torch Lake location. The property was so cozy, nicely appointed and had everything we needed with easy access to Traverse City, Elk Rapids, Alden, Bellaire and all of our favorite “up North” destinations. We’re grateful for the family memories we made and will definitely be back!
