Photos and Description of the Alden vacation cottage rental 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom, sleeps 9

New on the market!!! Remember your childhood memories of wonderful Northern Michigan summers or create new ones with your family. Our 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage is full of north woods charm. No detail has been spared to make your stay at 'Beautiful Torch Lake' one you will always remember. The cottage is situated on 50 feet of private frontage on the crystal blue waters of Torch Lake. (Voted third most beautiful lake in the world by National Geographic.) Imagine yourself sitting on the large porch in a beach chair while the kids swim or boat in the lake. At night enjoy sitting around the fire pit and roast marshmallows under the clear star-filled skies.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Alden, Michigan

The Town of Alden: The cottage is situated a short walk from downtown Alden. Alden is a town that is full of the small town spirit that you have to experience to believe. Flower lined streets where everyone you pass waves and says hello. Alden has several restaurants, and Higgins General Store that has the best, biggest, ice cream cones you could ever eat. The town has cute boutique stores, a deli, family bar, tennis and basketball courts, and a park with a playground. Just at the end of the road is the public boat launch, library and community center. Four miles from the cottage is the Dockside restaurant and the sandbar that Torch Lake is famous for.

The Cottage: The cottage is situated on the best part of Torch Lake. The sunsets are just breath taking. Also because of the way the winds blow we have very few mosquitoes (YES!) The lake bottom is hard sand. We include a dock, rowboat with oars and life jackets. On the back porch and on the beach area we have ample beach chairs and eating areas.

The cottage is fully furnished and decorated in the northwoods theme. We supply all of the linens, pillows,towels, paper products and soap products. The kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, coffee maker, dishes and all pots and pans. We also include a washer and dryer. On the main level we have a bedroom with a full bed and a twin bunk over it. The master bedroom has a Queen bed and a sliding door which overlooks the lake. The family room is very large with leather furniture, wood burning fireplace and sweeping views of Torch Lake. The walkout basement has 2 nicely appointed bedrooms,a half bath, woodburning stove, television and a Foosball table.

Ski: Schuss Mountain and Shanty Creek -15 minutes. Boyne Mountain-35 minutes. Boyne Highlands-40 minutes. Crystal Mountain-60 minutes.

Golf: Within 30 miles we have many fabulous golf courses including the world famous Grand Traverse Resort with the Jack Nicklaus Bear course just 20 minutes away.

Our Fall vacation Stay

smokefilled eyes Mason, MI
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We love country charm and that is what you get with this cottage. It is adorable. We did run into a few problems. We stayed for a week and even though I called to make sure there was wood (we picked this cottage for the wood fire place and fishing boat) there was no wood when we arrived. Collen was so sweet and brought us a small camping bundle of wood but no other wood was delivered until the evening before we left. There is also a problem with the fireplace in the living room. The whole house fills with smoke and the fire alarms go off within 10 minutes of starting a fire. The flue was open but the draft was not allowing all of the smoke to go out of the chimney. We were also disappointed to find out that this is not a great lake to fish with a row boat. The locals use trolling motors and say they do not catch many fish so suggested some surrounding lakes. I suggest that you take your own pillows because even though the pillows look new they are paper thin and we had to sleep on 2. Also, there was not 1 blanket in the entire cabin and we had very cold nights. There were no paper plates, plastic cups, kleenex, or baggies so you will want to take those items if you want them. We got 14 channels on the TV. They did provide 8 spices which included salt, pepper, garlic salt & powder, chili powder. There were no baking spices. The town is adorable and I highly recommend a trip to the bar for the best hamburger you will ever eat and to the Mill House which carries every spice and kitchen supply you could want. I would recommend this cottage for the summer because it does have a nice sandy bottom for swimming.

Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to stay here for an extended weekend. Our days started with a short walk to the charming village of Alden. Then after an afternoon of boating on beautiful blue(think kool-aid blue) Torch Lake we ate dinners while watching the best sunsets you could imagine. The cottage is perfect, it's clean very well furnished and decorated, even the beds are comfy. Coleen is also a pleasure to make arrangements with. I would recomend this cottage if you are looking for a very nice relaxing time!
