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!!

Great getaway, great fishing. The cabin was fully stocked with all we needed. It was very clean. You can walk to the town of Alden. I would definitely consider coming here again.
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!
We liked that it was a short walk to the center of Alden and that there several right of ways to Torch Lake. It was also convenient to nearby golf courses.
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.
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.
Perfect location to beach, town and restaurants.
We loved this sweet cottage. Sitting by the campfire at night was peaceful and so enjoyable. We will be back!
Thanks Paul for your hospitality!

We loved having you as our guest and we hope you return soon.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Sunset Cabin. It had everything that we needed and is within walking distance to Alden. There are also three public access points to the lake right off of Lake Street (accessible by taking the path behind the cabin).
Paul is a wonderful host and is very responsive. I don't think we could have found a better place to stay.
