Spacious home near Torch Lake w/custom back patio, steps away from public access

Enjoy the perfect family get away, right across the street from one of Torch Lake’s best public accesses. This three bedroom, two bath home sleeps eight people and features all the amenities including high-speed wifi and a custom-built back deck for you and your family to relax and enjoy. Laundry is on site and we covered the basics including a full set of pots and pans, cooking utensils, a coffee maker, a toaster, and a blender in the kitchen. We also include shampoo, conditioner and body wash, towels, and a hair dryer in each bathroom. Anything else you might need can be found 1 mile down the road at the local grocery store.

We are within 1.5 miles of the beautiful little town of Alden, Michigan. View all Torch Lake has to offer at many of the local shops and restaurants, or hit the water from the easily accessed public boat launch. We do have parking for two vehicles plus a boat trailer at the rental, so bring your own boat or rent one from any of the local rental services. Alden boasts some of the finest small-town vibes in Michigan and its entirely family friendly with two different ice cream shops and a children’s park within walking distance of downtown. All the family fun in one cozy destination.

If you’re more of an adventurist, there is also a kayak and SUP rental company in downtown Alden or you can bring your own and launch right across the street. We also have a few nice rivers in the area to really immerse yourself in nature. If two wheels are your thing, Glacial Hills has a nice set of flow mountain bike trails that can be ridden or hiked. If you prefer hiking there are several beautiful nature areas to explore including Coy Mountain, Glacial Hills and Grass River Natural Area.

Looking for a more leisurely activity? We are minutes away from the award-winning Shanty Creek Resorts golf courses — including Hawk Eye, Cedar River, and The Legend.

I live near by and can be conveniently reached at any time and do my best to offer quick responses to any concerns you may have. There are security cameras located outside the rental at the front doors and in the driveway. Unless requested, our rental is no contact, hassel-free so you will be given a code prior to your check-in to access the main entry door.

Great spot on Torch Lake

The location and accommodations are perfect. The beach and park are across the street. Shopping, dining, and fun are just minutes via walking distance or a short drive. Daniel’s home had everything we wanted and needed. I highly recommend this home and owner.

The property is perfect. Beds are so comfy, my husband and I slept really well. Everything was what we needed and wanted. Daniel exceeded our expectation in hosting our week vacation. He left recommendations of restaurants and things to do around town. We went to every spot and loved it. This was the most relaxing vacation I have been on and would definitely book the home again. Its a beautiful spot and home.

The house was close to the sand bar and restaurants, so a perfect location for visiting torch lake. The only downfall was the mattress in the master bedroom was extremely uncomfortable. Felt like I was sleeping on the floor. My family had no issues with the other two bedrooms. Would stay here again.

We could not have been happier with our stay at this home! Property was very clean, warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. There was so many great benefits to this home from the island, the layout of home & the unbelievable deck with mini fridge, gas fireplace, blackstone, outdoor games and table & chairs!!! This property was super clean! The host was very helpful with things to do in the area and had fast responses. There was also so welcome gifts that made us smile and we was very appreciative. I would recommend this place 10/10 would stay again.

Beautiful home and wonderful hosts!

The home was beautiful - the back patio being our favorite hangout spot to play games and listen to music. We were welcomed with a thoughtful gift for the bonfire - nice touch! Communication was great and the whole checkin and checkout process was a breeze. Right across the street from Torch Lake, a small skip to the cute little town of Alden, and 10 min from Dockside Watersports. Relaxing place to be!

A Must Stay!

A group of girlfriends booked this property for a weekend away in Torch Lake. We could not have been happier with the house. It was incredibly clean, beds comfortable, kitchen stocked with everything we could possibly need, walkable to the lake, and an unbeatable outdoor deck area. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to my relentless questions as we planned our trip. If you're ever planning a trip to Torch Lake, this house is a must stay!

The space itself is very nice, however, our experience was not as enjoyable as it could have been due to some faulty smoke alarms that kept going off at random times during our stay. They went off two separate nights waking everyone up and causing panic. The owner attempted a repair, but the next day they went off again bringing half the fire department out to the house when the owner could not be reached. A real damper on an otherwise wonderful trip.

Memorial weekend

We stayed for the Memorial Day weekend. This home is absolutely beautiful. The outdoor deck was great. We used the black stone, and cooked quite a bit. The landscaping and lighting are beautiful. The inside was extremely clean, and had everything we needed. The property staff was very kind and helpful. There are so many options of things to do in the area that are so close- we had the best time, and will definitely be back!
