Torch Lake Cottage Lakefront exceptionnelle

REMARQUE: Voir le numéro VRBO 1587407 si vous avez plus de 6 personnes. C'est la même propriété, mais comprend une maison d'hôtes. Voir les détails ci-dessous.

Situé sur une beauté Torch Lake, cet établissement non-fumeur a été détenue par la même famille depuis la fin des années 1800. Le chalet présente des intérieurs en bois naturel, deux cheminées à bois, des étagères de livres, de superbes vues sur le lac, du confort et de la simplicité.

Convient aussi bien aux familles avec de jeunes enfants qu'aux couples plus âgés, il peut accueillir confortablement six personnes.

Nous avons 150 pieds de lac, y compris une plage de sable, un quai privé et le bateau palan. Le fond sableux du lac est peu profond sur une distance raisonnable, ce qui le rend idéal pour les enfants.

Le chalet se trouve à la fin d'un chemin privé dans un cadre isolé épaisse avec des arbres matures. Son emplacement sur le côté est du lac offre des vues spectaculaires du soleil couchant, en particulier de la grande terrasse en plein air qui surplombe le lac, et l'accalmie presque constante des clapotis de l'eau sur le rivage. Il ya aussi une petite terrasse privée, avec une balançoire hamac (un de plusieurs sur la propriété), au large de la suite de maître.

TORCH LAKE a été nommé la troisième plus beau lac du monde par le magazine National Geographic. L'eau est si claire que vous pouvez voir le fond de sable tout le chemin à la «goutte-off." Les jours ensoleillés, le lac a rubans de couleur turquoise qui rappellent les Caraïbes. Torch est le plus grand lac du Michigan (19 miles de long et environ deux miles de large) et fait partie d'une chaîne de lacs qui permet la navigation de Elk Rapids à Bellaire. Voir cet article pour un bon aperçu et quelques belles photos: http: // www. mlive. com / voyage / index. ssf / 2017/07 / torch_lake_facts. html

Une promenade de 15 minutes vous conduira au charmant petit village d'ALDEN. Il possède l'un des quatre rampes d'accès publics de Torch Lake, un certain nombre de restaurants (à la fois décontracté et une cuisine raffinée), galeries d'art, une variété de boutiques, une aire de jeux, un court de tennis public, et une bibliothèque. Bois verts et de larges champs étendent hors de la ville, offrant un grand vélo et la marche.

Destinations touristiques populaires telles que Traverse City, Charlevoix, la péninsule de Leelanau, et Petoskey sont tous à moins d'une heure de route. Si vous choisissez de vous aventurer plus loin, Interlochen National Music Camp (offrant d'excellents concerts), Sleeping Bear Dunes de sable, Mackinac Island, ou Hartwick Pines valent bien une visite.

Parce que le chalet est un héritage de famille, nous demandons beaucoup de soin et de considération à nos locataires. Nous vous demandons également d'être très respectueux de nos voisins - le chalet est situé dans une zone résidentielle (et non locative) Pour cette raison, nous n'autorisons pas les jet-skis afin de préserver la paix. Merci de votre compréhension!

Great cottage on Torch Lake

We really enjoyed our stay. We've rented a number of cottages over the past 30 years, so we have experience with what to expect, and this definitely met our expectations. Nice large rooms for socializing, and the master bedroom is really large too. Kitchen was well equipped and they have a very nice outdoor grill as well.

Cozy Cottage in a wonderful location on Torch Lake.

The cottage was very cozy and clean. The view of the water was incredible. Especially the sunset! The beach area was clean and the kids loved it. Just a few minute drive and you could grab groceries or a bite to eat in Alden. We had a few very minor issues when we arrived to the cottage but the owner was very responsive and prompt to our request to get handled. She was also very polite! Our only disappointment was the master bedroom did have a "musty" kind of stench. Maybe could use some fresh paint to clear that up. And also the water is very hard (It's well water). So definitely bring bottled water to drink. We would definitely stay here again!

Our guest is absolutely right about the water... we DO have a water softener, but I learned AFTER he left that it was not working. I immediately called the water softener company and it is now working once again :-) As for the master bedroom, I will certainly look into this. We had the bedroom painted two years ago, so that is not the issue. Maybe it was a particularly humid period? I don't know, but I am grateful to these guests for bringing this issue to my attention.

Rustic on a beautiful lake

Overall, we had a wonderful week on Torch lake and the house was passable. Thank you to Nan who was extremely pleasant, available, and helped us check in early and get access to the water toys which were locked up. The good: Access to the lake is excellent, the beach area is nice, and the outdoor deck area has a great view of the lake. It is nice to sit on for coffee etc. The house is pretty and rustic and the Wi-Fi was good. Beds were comfortable. The not as good: The house is partially updated and has very old bones as advertised. It is also well used as a rental. The kitchen appliances, instruments, and dishware would belong more in a much less expensive rental. There were a number of cleanliness issues. The well water smells strongly of sulfur. The master bathroom shower curtain was totally molded with black mold. In the kitchen pantry there was a waffle maker with previously cooked waffles left in it for months, covered in a smelly moldy slime. The bushes and ferns around the house are quite impressive and frankly need to be trimmed back. There are a few safety issues which were present. The stone walkways are all covered in moss and very slippery as described in the welcome packet. I slipped carrying a couple of bags and injured my pride. The dock has a broken board that is dangerous. There are ant and spider friends inside and out. We had two days near 90° and temperatures in the house were really unmanageable despite numerous fans and everything being open.

We wish we could have made your stay more comfortable! We work hard to make our cottage hospitable, clean, and welcoming. We could have easily fixed most of these issues (fresh shower curtain, waffle iron, more salt in the water softener to address the mineral smell from the well water, dock plank—all now taken care of). Communication is key, and we are always quick and responsive to any concerns our renters have. Next time, if something isn’t up to par, we hope you’ll reach out to us during your trip so we can address it ASAP and help you have the best stay possible.

Guest house was damp, strong mildew smell, linens on bed dirty, dusty, dead bug, damp and smelled. No ventilation. Bathroom floor sopping wet. Owner notified and I was told the linens were placed three weeks ago. Water from condensation due to rain and humidity. WE had to dry the floor and place “pebble mats” to help with condensation. Due to the condition, everyone stayed in the main house. That night, family wanted showers and no hot water was available. Contacted owner and she stated she forgot to turn the hot water heater on…..was given offer to go to another house on the property to shower or go back in the guest house. She finally gave me the instructions to turn on hot water heater. Later that evening, family sat down to unwind watching a movie and after 5 minutes there were sparks flying from behind the TV. Needless to say that was the last straw and owner notified that we would be leaving the property. We stayed 2 nights as I was fortunate to find another property to go to. The morning of our departure after taking a shower in master bathroom, I noticed the shower curtain was heavy and noticed black mold on the bottom of the shower curtain. The owner is going to tell you she did everything she could to accommodate our issues. I could not stay in that property any longer for safety and health concerns. I completely lost trust and confidence in property and the owner. She is dishonest. Only reimbursed us one night. I have more but running out of roo

I am sorry that this guest's stay did not meet her expectations. For prospective renters, I encourage you to read our many other reviews, which have been overwhelmingly positive over decades of hosting. While I respect that this guest was dissatisfied, I do not agree with several characterizations in this review and do not believe it presents a complete picture of the stay. Rather than engage in a point-by-point response, I'll offer some context for future guests. One issue she reported was the lack of hot water upon arrival. This was my mistake, and I responded immediately by providing instructions to restore hot water and offering alternative shower facilities that were available right away. I remained available throughout her stay and responded promptly to each concern she raised. After two nights, the guest chose to relocate to another property. Although our rental agreement does not provide refunds after check-in and the remaining nights could not be rebooked, I nevertheless provided a goodwill refund equivalent to one night's stay in recognition of the hot-water issue. Our cottage is an older seasonal Michigan lake cottage and may not be the right fit for travelers seeking the experience of a newer home with central air conditioning and a tightly sealed building envelope. For guests who appreciate the character of a traditional lake cottage, I invite you to read the experiences shared by our many previous guests.

Beautiful property to get away from it all...

We were a group of two families with four teenagers (14-17) and a child under 10; we all enjoyed every minute of our stay. Nan is highly responsive to any issue and the property is lovely in a great location on the lake. We spent the vast majority of our time on the lake, beach or deck. The cabin gave the teen girls a place to stay with more independence and their own bathroom. At the end of our vacation, all the teenagers told us they want to come back because there was so much to do. If you are on the fence, book it; you'll really enjoy your stay.

This was the second time that we have stayed at this property and we loved it!! The location is absolutely beautiful, perfect for sunsets and moonsets. The cottage is thoughtfully equipped. The lovely family room stocks a cupboard of board games and puzzles. The master bed was really comfortable and combined with the peace and lakeside tranquility helped us have the most restful nights sleep. The owner was most helpful and made staying here a delight.

Very nice location, beautiful view of the lake and the beach area was very nice.

Bathrooms were all just renovated, but they were very small. Kitchen was very well supplied. The guest house was very nice. The deck was a very nice to sit out on in the mornings and the evenings. We used the beach area too, even though there had been a bad storm before we got there we were still able to use it. Lots of living, and dining space and windows with the view of the lake. We had cool mornings and cool evenings, there is no air conditioning which could be an issue in the heat of the summer. There were plenty of fans that were in all the bedrooms. We enjoyed our stay for sure! Nan was available when we needed to get in touch with here before the trip and during our stay!

Not just a house

This gem on the lake combines the sense of happy history you get from, say Edison's grandparents' house at Greenfield Village--with space, comfy furniture, and board games and books. We can vouch that the piano works for everything from Chopin to Elton John, so take a pianist if you can. The house smells like good old wood and cozy fires. We put the charming and handy kitchen through its paces, the baths are new and pretty, the common areas are gracious. The place has been accumulating its own spirit for a long time. If you are looking for something miles beyond the cliched beach house with Live, Love, Laugh signs on the walls, I highly recommend this cottage-house. It's a true Place.

A special place

This classic cottage was a great place for our family to spend a return visit to Torch Lake. We had a wonderful stay - enjoying the beautiful lake and all of the cottage's outdoor space, including a boat dock/hoist, deck perfectly placed to watch the sunsets, sandy beach and shady lawn with picnic table and hammocks. The location is perfect for privacy, quiet and a walk into Alden. Our adult children loved staying in the guest house - a charming spot just steps from the cottage with a brand new bathroom. The main cottage had everything we needed for great family time (and the two new bathrooms are fabulous)! Nan was a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to return!

Beautiful property on Torch!

Our stay was great over the 4th! Close boat ride to the sandbar and we loved traveling the Torch River to Elk Lake. We walked into town a couple of mornings for the best breakfast and coffee at the Muffin Tin. We also visited Elk Rapids…such a cute downtown! The cabin is rustic and offers all the up north charm one would expect in Michigan! We all slept great throughout the week. The beds were comfy (I always worry about that when we rent) and peaceful mornings on the deck. Everything was clean and fresh towels were on the bed upon arrival. The owner was extremely responsive and easy to contact! Thank you for a great week!

Lovely stay on the beautiful Torch Lake

Lovely cottage on the East side of the lake, great for sunsets. Cottage has some recent upgrades but still maintains the "Old" charm. Nice large deck overlooking the water with a small beach area for swimming and evening campfires for making smores. Located within walking distance to park, tennis/pickleball courts and Alden for a nice ice cream treat. This was our third stay and will always consider it for future visits to the area.

Spectacular and serene

When we arrived at the property, we were shocked at how beautiful and peaceful it was. I’d love to live in a home like this. The landscaping was so gorgeous. It is nestled in the woods on the lake and though there are other houses, it feels so private. It is right on the lake and has amazing views of the sunset. The house was perfectly clean and had all the amenities and items we needed for our stay from cooking in the kitchen to playing in the water to extra blankets for the beds. The hosts communicated very well with us and always responded very quickly. They were very accommodating to us and our needs. I am excited to return to this house and stay again! The town was wonderful and had everything we needed as well. We also loved the beach that was just a few feet away. I can’t say enough good things about our stay.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : Nan Reed Twiss

Image de profil de l’hôte
My great grandparents bought this property back in the 1800s, and it's been the beloved summer home to generations of my family (my children are now the fifth generation). The cottage which was left to me was built by my grandmother during the 2nd world war, and even though I've lived on both coasts of the US, in Europe and in Asia, I've never missed a summer. Birchwood cottage remains my favorite spot in the world...I just wish I could still spend all summer there as I did as a child. Now our family of five treasures the three weeks we save for ourselves, and scared though I was to share the cottage with strangers, so far, renters have treated the place beautifully.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

I was lucky enough to inherit this gem. But why I would buy it (and I would!) is that Torch Lake is an extraordinarily beautiful lake, more beautiful than any I've ever seen. The colors are like the Caribbean, and the water is so clear you can see the bottom all the way out to the drop-off. The sandy bottom makes it especially beautiful. The area is so peaceful if it's peace you're looking for... and yet, if you want activity, you don't have to go far at all for inland entertainment. There are lots of artist's towns nearby, nice shops, some great restaurants, golfing, hiking...and the town of Alden is a brief walk away.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

Our cottage is right on the water, so we sleep to the sound of waves lapping the shore. We watch the sunsets from our deck that overlooks the water or from one of our three hammocks placed throughout the property. The beach is perfect for small children since it stays shallow for a long way. In addition to the obvious sand-castle building, the kids also love to explore the woods and build forts with the driftwood or play on the raft. We love to swim, sail, walk or bike into town. There's so much to do in the area, but honestly, we're so happy at the cottage and on the lake, we generally just stay there.
