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.

Please feel free to message me with any questions!

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.

Perfect for Boat weekend!

This house was perfect for our adult weekend on Torch lake. The cleanliness of the house was the first thing all of us noticed. Plenty of space in the main area for a group of people to hang out and the back patio was great as well! Daniel was prompt at answering my questions leading up to and during the stay. The big half circle driveway was also a plus and made life easy for the multiple vehicles and our boat we had parked there. The location was perfect for us too, minutes away from the DNR boat launch that we used and an easy drive to surrounding restaurants and stores.
