About this property

Gorgeous 3 bedroom waterfront home on South Torch Lake

This beautiful cottage is situated on an expansive private lot with sandy beach on the south side of Torch Lake. The unobstructed view from the house and deck look north across the crystal clear waters of the lake - ideal for viewing both the sunrise and sunset. The south side of the lake is shallow and has a beautiful sandy bottom, perfect for swimming and playing any time of the day or night. A gorgeous new dock includes a large platform for six to comfortably hang out or sunbathe. There's a hoist for a motor boat and a mooring anchor for other watercraft. This is one of the most stunning rental properties on Torch Lake. At night, see the Big Dipper and, when it’s super dark and clear, the Big Dipper.

The house has a large living space with ample seating and three bedrooms to comfortably sleep six. We offer modern amenities, updated, comfortable furnishings, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, dishwasher, washer and dryer, eat-in bar, and everything you need to feel at home.

Please Note: Saturday check in and Saturday check out only June 29-Aug. 31. Thank you.

Property Location: The cottage is located 1.5 miles from Torch River and Torch River Marine where you can rent pontoon and speed boats. It is approximately 5 miles south of Alden, which has shops, restaurants, and tennis/pickleball courts, and less than a mile from the Village Market grocery store. You are a boat ride away from the Dockside restaurant at Clam River, where you can sit outside, watch the boats go by, and enjoy lunch or dinner. You are a short 20 minute drive from Traverse City, and 90 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Beautiful House: The cottage is lovely and airy and boasts all of the comforts and convenience of home, including a fully stocked kitchen and a washer and dryer. A large deck is great for outdoor dining. A boat hoist is available for speed boats plus there is a heavy duty mooring anchor 100 feet from shore for a second watercraft. Long dock has a large deck that comfortably accommodates six lounge chairs.

About the host

Hosted by Alisa Carroll

Host profile image
I grew up in Southfield, MI and now live with my husband and son in Washington state. We love the outdoors, camping and hiking, and our summer visits to Torch. There is nothing like Torch Lake anywhere that I've ever been in the world. My family has had a place on the lake since the 1960s, starting with my grandmother whose log cabin was just west of the cottage on Ladd Drive.

Why they chose this property

I spent every summer of my childhood on Torch and, though I have traveled to many places in my life, I have never found a place as beautiful as Torch Lake. The water is clear and the sand is sugary and firm. You can walk out for half a mile before it is over your head and it's great for kids because of the shallow water near the beach. The cottage is a perfect place for a couple or family with its comfortable rooms and amenities.

What makes this property unique

Crystal clear water and a sandy bottom are great for kids, for playing and swimming. Beautiful view all the way down the lake with glorious sunrise and sunsets. Awesome for swimming, boating, sunning, and lounging.
