Om overnatningsstedet

500 'til Torch Lake & parken - Gå til malerisk Alden-reduceret efterår & forår priser

Gå til Alden centrum, til den historiske Train Depot Park and Museum, op og omkring konserveringen på Coy Mountain, og gå til den fantastiske Torch Lake kyst og den nærliggende strand - alt fra dette historiske viktorianske hjem i 1870'erne. Nyd bekvemmelighederne hjemme i dette tre soveværelser, to bad, to etagers Alden landsbyhus.

Tre soveværelser (2 med dronningssenge og 1 med 2 enkeltsenge) og 2 badeværelser (et på første sal og et ovenpå) sørger for et behageligt ophold for op til 6 personer. Fuldt udstyret køkken giver mulighed for at spise derhjemme, hvis du ønsker det. Valg af spiseplads inkluderer køkken eller veranda eller endda den originale spisestue i familien.

De udvendige farver minder dig om styrken og dybden og skønheden i selve Torch Lake. Hvis det er nogle år siden, at du har lejet huset, er du velkommen tilbage til det 'nye udseende' af vores sommerhus i det maleriske Alden.

Du vil være placeret lige over den største østkystvej fra Torch Lake. Lokalbefolkningen og besøgende ved, hvad en stor lommelygte er til ferie, sightseeing, vandsport (herunder svømning, sejlsport, kajaksejlads, rør og mere). Du befinder dig kun et par gader fra selve charmerende centrum af Alden og dens marina, unikke butikker og restauranter. Og du er ved foden af det 17 mål store fred, der er 'Coy Mountain'.

Oplev smukke solnedgange og udsigt over Torch Lake fra køkken og stue og fra den vestvendte veranda på sofaen eller gyngen. Svøm i Torch Lake og den tilsluttede søkæde, båd gennem den nedre 'kæde af søer' (fakkel, Bellaire, elg, musling, Skegemog). Dette røgfrie hjem er meget tæt på pro-golfbaner i området, Traverse City shopping og vingårde på Old Mission Peninsula og Leelanau County. Boyne, Petoskey og Harbor Springs er behagelige udflugter samme dag samme dag.

Sleeping Bear Dunes er lidt over en time mod vest.

Du vil bo i det, som de lokale mennesker stadig kalder "Chapelle" -huset, som i slutningen af 1800-tallet og begyndelsen af 1900'erne var det lokale og gæstehus for besøgende fra downstate og fra Chicago og Ohio. Hjemmet var endnu større da med et 2-etagers gæsteværelsesområde, der forbinder til hvad der nu er de franske døre i den formelle spisestue. Faktisk finder du postkortet fra hjemmet omkring 1910 i postkortsamlingen på det historiske museum lige over hovedvejen fra dig, mod søen.

Det dobbelte hjørneparti giver plads til børn i alle aldre til at lege lige i haven, hvis du og de foretrækker det.

Alden ligger kun 25 minutter nordøst for Traverse City og den gamle mission-halvø (og dens store vingårde) og kun 15 minutter sydvest for Shanty Creek og Bellaire. Lidt længere vest forbi Traverse Citys spisestue og indkøbsmuligheder er vingårde på Leelanau-halvøen.

Alden er på den sydøstlige bred af den smukke fakkel sø. Din båd glider let ind og ud af Torch Lake ved den offentlige marina og glider i byen. Derefter ligger hele søkæden foran dig for at udforske og nyde. Ingen egen båd? Udlejning er tilgængelig efter dit valg af lokale lystbådehavne. Vi kan give deres kontaktnumre, hvis du ønsker det.

Hvis du foretrækker at være hjemme en dag eller aften, skal du forberede din middag på Weber-kulgrillen og nyde den i spisestuen eller som en picnic på verandaen eller i den nærliggende park eller op på Coy Mountain.

Stille aftener på verandaen eller se videoer eller tv er også dine underholdningsmuligheder. Kabel-tv-service leveres med grundlæggende 'netværk' og kabelkanaler.

Brug for at arbejde eller holde op med e-mails? (Vi ved, at mange er nødt til at gøre det). Vores High Speed Internet-modem leveres til din brug. Der tilbydes gratis, sikret WiFi. Eller du kan oprette forbindelse via Ethernet. Hvis du ikke har dit eget tilslutningskabel, skal du låne vores.

Aldens og omkringliggende Helena Townships historie kan være af interesse for dig. Forskning i området fortæller alt, at "Helena blev berømt som et sommerferiested i slutningen af 1800'erne og begyndelsen af 1900'erne. De vigtigste resorts var Belden Heights i Alden (det er vores hjem er i, og du vil se pladeringen på stuevæggen); Lone Tree Point og Waswagonik nær Clam River; Crystal Beach Hotel i den sydlige ende af Torch Lake; og Watson's Inn at Torch River. Mange smukke huse og hytter blev bygget ved bredden af fakkel og Clam Lakes. Pere Marquete-jernbanetjenestemændene oplyste, at der blev solgt flere billetter fra Chicago til Alden i løbet af sæsonen end til noget andet punkt på deres linje i resortområdet. Det er stadig meget populært og vokser fortsat i denne henseende. "

House is exactly as described and we had a great stay! The kitchen was well stocked with many miscellaneous cooking utensils, which was very appreciated as we made multiple meals at home. Gorgeous neighborhood and short walk to the beach.The owners were so welcoming to us (and our four young kids!) and provided many local recommendations. My only suggestion for other renters is to be sure you're aware that there is no A/C - I didn't think to look closely and was not planning for this. It was pretty sweltering upstairs with 95 degree weather, but that is rare for Michigan and it was comfortable towards the end of our stay.In addition, you can swim in the Lake close to the house, but there is no beach or play area within walking distance for children!Overall, wonderful stay!

Cute home

This home was in a great location and was very clean. The only thing that would have made it better was to have central air. The first half of the week was fine but the end of the week got very hot and humid and the upstairs bedroom was warm. They did have windows that opened and fans which helped but still hard to sleep.

Quaint house in a beautiful setting!

This was such a great vacation! We loved the Browns’ house! It is adorable-old and charming! The location was perfect, close to the water and all the little towns, as well as the BEAUTIFUL Torch Lake!! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, neighbors were friendly. Stephanie was incredibly helpful from the property management!Just be aware that there is no air conditioning and that you’ll NEED all the fans if it’s hot like it was our week! It was mid-80’s several days!! The screens were great, especially when sleeping at night!We appreciated all of the little things that were left for use-bug spray, bug bite medicine, cleaning supplies, spices and cooking oils, Clorox wipes, and lots more. We used the cooler when we rented a boat! And there were lots of floats to use in the storage room also. You can’t do much better than this house and location!!

Alden / Bellaire family visit

This home is perfectly set with a lovely porch and view down the hill of Torch lake. Enjoyed our walks to downtown along the water and to the few shops and coffee and small pub . Less than 10 minute walk. Nice park also that had tennis and pickleball courts with free rackets and balls supplied. Coy mountain is about 2 Minutes up the road and is a good hike for any level and maybe a 40 minute to get to the top and back. . This is a great location and includes all you need to cook or cookout . Just a short drive to many areas . Will definitely be back! Owners are very responsive and so was the property manager accommodating our late check in . This is an older home like being at your grandma's house which we loved . Perfect lake setting.

5 sisters Reunion

My 4 sisters and I enjoyed this vintage home in Alden. We called it "Grandma's home". We enjoyed morning walks around the neighborhood and especially liked being able to walk to the cute town of Alden. We were disappointed that there wasn't a beach nearby and futhermore we were told that there was a parasite in the lake that causes "swimmers itch". Thankfully the weather was very pleasant and we really didn't need to get into the water.

We are in love with Torch!!!

We had an amazing time in Alden and the surrounding towns, lakes, beaches. This was a comfortable and very cute home with all of the things you would need for a comfortable stay. There is no AC, which made for some warmer nights, but the home has windows with screens and plenty of fans to use as well. There is lake access across the street which was wonderful and some cute shops and restaurants within walking distance. We were within 20 minutes from some cute surrounding towns- my personal favorite was Elk Rapids! We also drove about 15-20 minutes to have dinner at Dairy Delight in Mancelona- inexpensive and tasty dinner! We have fallen in love with Alden and Torch lake. Thank you to awesome hosts and an awesome home!!

The property was just as described and the owners provided even more details to allow us to be well-prepared for our trip.

Om værten

Vært: Rich and Karen Brown

Værtens profilbillede
Rich and Karen are just the third family to proudly own this historic home. In the early 1900s, it was a guest house and even had a 2-story addition off the back to take summer visitors who would come to Alden by train from Chicago and along the west coast of Michigan. Its history is found in every room, including being preserved in those we've renovated and updated from what the Chapelle family originally built. We bought this as a family vacation home over 40 years ago, when our kids were young, and we would make regular visits from 'downstate'. Now we still make regular visits (as do our adult 'kids' and now our grandkids!) and we are pleased to share the home with others.
We live 250 miles from Alden and Bed linens and Bath towels are not provided. It would add about $150 to the rental rate to locally clean and replace them after every renter. So, to keep the low rental rate, guests bring their own or rent @ $25/per person, maximum of $100 for 4 or more. Please let the owner know if you wish to rent.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

40+ years ago, we wanted an "Up North" Michigan vacation home for us and our young teens kids. This home had not been lived in since the '40s, and needed much TLC and some updating to be able to be lived in, or even just vacationed in. Alden is an ideal get-away for us: a small town 4 hours from our (still) home, with features we enjoy -- inviting shops, friendly shop owners and nature trails and Torch Lake and its shorelines to explore, and Traverse City and Petoskey just short drives away.
The home, whose original rooms (since updated) date to the 1870s, became our ideal get-away place, while we brought it more up to date. We've treated "her" gently during the over 40+ years we've owned "her", and know that our guests who appreciate older homes will do likewise.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Relax on the front-porch, and sip wine or cocktails or beer (all the needed stemware provided) and enjoy. Watch those STUNNING OVER-THE-LAKE SUNSETS from your porch. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms and the other rooms will comfort when needed mid-summer. Enjoy the selection of board games or just watching your favorite on one of the 3 smart TVs The fully-equipped kitchen is for quick breakfasts and easy lunches and your no-take-out-tonight evenings. Formal dinners (they ARE allowed & fun, even on vacation) in the dining room and casual ones at the kitchen table.

Please use the maps we've provided in your living room to decide what to do around Alden and the area. Wineries are particularly special, we think, as are the entertainment in Traverse and toward Shanty Creek and Charlevoix and Petoskey.

For outdoor pleasures, walk along Spencer Creek or the Torch Lake shoreline. Or, hike the Indian Trails up Coy "Mountain", whose path virtually begins at your doorstep, on Valley street. This 17-acre preserve (thanks to the Coy family) has a wonderful array of wildlife, bird species and several native wildflowers. Benches welcome you to rest along the one mile maintained trail.

For local history, be sure to take in the Alden Depot and Park Museum. Located in the authentically restored Alden Depot, dating to 1908, this part of Alden's history (open Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend) features photographs and memorabilia recalling the community's past, including model trains and related items and many photographs of the area through the years.

ENJOY all these reasons to be 'up North'.

When other entertainment has been exhausted (that may not happen), TV may be your or your children's option of choice. Cable service is provided with basic 'network' channels.

Work or emails calling you? That happens, we all know. High Speed WiFi internet is here for you. Or connect via Ethernet. If you did not bring your own connecting cable, please borrow ours.
