About this property

Sunsets & Private Sandy Beach Cottage on Torch Lake in Alden

This is the best location on Torch Lake with perfect sunset views, a sandy beach with just the right slope, and an easy walk to downtown Alden's boutiques and restaurants. Our three-bedroom, two-bath cottage is a charming mix of vintage with modern amenities. The full-width front porch offers a panoramic lake view of your own sandy beach, dock, and mooring buoy if you'd like to bring a boat. The cottage comes with two sit-on-top kayaks for swimming and exploring. Full kitchen for cooking inside and a gas grill outside. Great township park with playground and tennis courts close by, fantastic biking on Antrim County's scenic roads, and a perfect base for exploring all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

We are fourth generation owners of this cottage, which has been our family’s getaway for over 100 years. We’d love to get to know a little about your group and look forward to welcoming you to Torch Lake!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
