Everything is great about this property. Only issue would be road noise when you're trying to sleep at night (cabin on busy main road but walking distance to town). A new mattress would also be welcomed. Other than that, great stay!!

Cabin was so cute and very clean! Great location, close to beautiful Torch Lake! (through the backyard and two houses down from the lake)Close to Alden and Bellaire. Paul was easy to get a hold of and responded immediately. Easy check-in and check-out process. Glad there was a grill so we could grill out and sit on the patio. So glad Paul allowed us to bring our dogs. Thank you Paul!

Great, little cabin.

The great, little cabin had everything we needed for our two-week stay. Torch Lake was a short walk away as was downtown Alden. We had no complaints and would return.

Place was adorable in a great location, could walk or ride our bikes in like 5 minutes to downtown Alden for meals and shopping. Beach access walking distance, could actually see the lake from our backyard. Place was clean and cozy, small but had everything you’d need and was decorated cute. Good kitchen, TV, WiFi etc. Firepit outside with wood and patio set. We rented pontoon from MK which was less expensive than the other places and the boat and service was perfect. Dinner and nightlife in Bellaire was fun, outdoor concerts at brewery and dinner and Toonies was best. We loved the burgers at the Alden Bar too and Bloody Marys at the Alden Muffin Tin were great! We played golf at the Centennial which was never crowded and just 15 min away. My only complaint was the mattress had a big low point in middle so it definitely needs replaced. Hosts were really nice with recommendations and quick to reply. I plan to stay again. It’s attached to another cabin so it’d be fun to rent both with family or friends.
