Location: Alden, Torch Lake, Northwest, Michigan, USA (Thayer Lake is 3 mi N. of Alden & 1 mi S. of Clam Lake)
Accommodations: Cottage, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
This cute and clean "1940s" era cottage is much the way you would have found it mid-century. Sorry, no TV or phone. The kitchen was updated in 2006. New is the screened in front porch. This Thayer Lake beachfront cottage shares 150 foot of prime frontage with its sister cottage. The cottage sits 400 feet back off the road. Thayer Lake is a no-wake lake perfect for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and relaxed enjoyment of nature. There are both sunny and shady areas along the waterfront. There is a lakeside fire pit for making Samores. The lake access is shallow and gradual, good for children and wading. Within one mile of the cottage are two public accesses to Torch Lake, one of Michigan's largest and certainly most beautiful lakes.
