Sobre esta propriedade

Casa de Praia no Lago Torch, em Alden

Welcome to my Grandfather's Cottage on Torch Lake, one of the very few cottages with a beautiful sandy beach and within walking distance to Downtown Alden. First off to address some of the reviews for last year. Full disclosure, I fell short on some of the minor maintenance that needed to happen while guests where staying with me. This past fall I spent and extensive about of time fixing everything that needed to be taken care of and will be spending this spring making additional improvements. For this coming summer we also are bringing on a new cleaning crew as the ones we had last year fell well short of expectations.

In regards to the review claiming Bed Bugs and Child Safety issues, Both of these are flat out incorrect. Swimming in Torch lake there is the possibility of getting swimmers ich, like most any inland lake, which can lead to minor irritation. Which is why it was only her grandkids that and any issues since they were the only one swimming.

I have welcomed people into my Grandfather’s Cottage coming to visit Up North for many years and I love being able to share this amazing and special place I hope that you will come stay with me and enjoy the place like so many people in the past. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out.

This ideal location is only a brief walk from downtown Alden. The sandy beach slopes into the clear water gently, making this a great walk-in swim site for all ages. There is also a permanent anchor off the end of the dock for those who bring there boat. We also offer a few different options in boat rentals if you are interested in that as well.

This single story cottage has a fully fenced back yard making it perfect for dogs or small kids. It comes with a fully equipped kitchen with a small island and an attached breakfast area as you walk in from the street. Through the kitchen opens in to a spacious living room with large picture windows facing the lake. With a TV and fireplace on one end of the room and a dining area on the other.

The living room opens out through French doors onto the screened in porch which provides an exceptional sunset view. There are two bedrooms one with a queen size bed and the other with two twin beds located on one side of the house sharing a full bath. The third bedroom is on the opposite side with a set of bunk beds and a full bath attached to it.

VERY IMPORTANT - DUE TO SEVERAL RENTERS IN THE PAST NOT RESPECTING OUR NO SMOKING POLICY - WE NOW HAVE A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SMOKING OF ANY KNID ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY, SO IF YOU SMOKE PLEASE EITHER RESPECT THE NO SMOKING POLICY

What a beautiful lake and wonderful location!!! We had an awesome family vacation - close enough for day trips to Mackinaw Island, the Dunes, lighthouses, and wineries. Chris was great! The house is stocked with everything we needed - even a family game we loved! The quiet street was great for walking the baby and short walks to Alden.

Torch Lake in your backyard is an absolute dream. We seemed to be the only people on the lake at times in late August. It was eonderful to be able to swim, snorkle and float. We did not see a need to rent a boat but it is an option in the area. Gorgeous, quiet neighborhood with a couple restaurants a very short walk away, several places to walk your dog or yourself and stop and enjoy the views. House is older but open layout and good AC are a real plus. Beds were comfy, too.

Comfy home and comfy bed. Enjoyed the screened in porch. No contact person phone number was given to us before arriving. No contact person phone number was posted at the cottage. Up the creek if something happened and needed to contact someone.

The house was in a perfect location, and we loved that it was pet friendly. We loved the view of the lake, and the beach was beautiful. The host was very nice and helpful! The problem we had was with vrbo. The cabin was listed as having a hot tub, and it did not. When we asked the host, he stated he knew nothing about it showing it had a hot tub. That was something we all looked for to enjoying. Sitting in the hot tub and enjoying the view. I have already stated this with vrbo and have heard nothing from them. This is my first time using vrbo and I'm not satisfied with vrbo at all! That is why I gave them 1 star!

The place is in an excellent location and beautiful sunsets over lake, and close walking distance to a very small quaint town. Cottage is cute and has been updated in some places very nicely. As it does state it truly is "Grandfather's Cottage". The downside we felt were lack of privacy curtains in the bedrooms. There were very sheer white curtains that were completely see through. It would be very nice if actual privacy curtains or blinds there, so if you wanted to change in a bedroom or shut for some morning sleep in time, not have entire bedroom light at sunrise. The 2 small windows in living room would be nice to have a pull down blind option (there is nothing on these windows) to have privacy from close neighbors if you wanted. There were only two of us, so we hung some bed sheets in bedrooms & improvised with towels in the living room. Electrical outlets are very minimal and very outdated (thus to be expected with age of home). Tough if needing to work with a computer or electronic devices in certain spots/limited capacity. I give it an 8.5/10 for being clean (will admit, I probably have a little OCD on the cleaning scale). Great place if you want to be directly on lake and have the views, along with the BEST feature of being able to bring your fur babies along. Thanks for the adventure!

Extremely disappointed with this stay.House was very dirty, didn't appear cleaned recently, spiderwebs/bugs, filth under couch cushions, bedding had stains; oven didn't work; walk-in shower valve broke or required adjustment from host multiple times; washer/dryer are shared, then couldn't use due to washer malfunction; fenced yard is shared, unable to freely use for our dogs due to hosts dogs; window coverings were to sheer/translucent to provide privacy, even in the bathrooms; french doors to back patio were unable to be locked, door knob was broken; patio screen door and screen windows were torn allowing for insects/bugs to enter; box steps down to water from house were in disrepair, making it very difficult for our daughter with special needs to walk down. We ended our stay early due to these continuous problems, culminating with my wife waking to approximately three dozen bug bites on her body. Chris suggested it was probably swimmers itch, but it did not look like a rash.The host, Chris, was staying next door. He was very friendly, but admitted he's never had guests experience as many issues as we had. We feel some kind of compensation and/or a refund would be appropriate, but he made no offer to do so.

Torn screen patio door; adjacent window screens were the same

Filth under couch cushion with old dryer sheet

Sheer window coverings; added blankets for privacy in all bedrooms

Great location but intrusive neighbors and bad plumbing

This home is beautiful and a GREAT location to downtown Alden, but could use a little clean up and maintenance. There were still leaves from the fall around the house when we visited on the 4th of July and the landscaping hadn't been updated in MANY years. The path to the water was treacherous and I fell one time at night trying to get down to the bonfire. The main shower did not drain the entire week we were there. The 2nd shower didn't work the first 3 days. The toilet in the 2nd bathroom had to be plunged almost every time it was used. The neighbors (who own the property) kept a CLOSE eye on you. We were being watched the entire stay. Their small children wandered over to the home and one time we found him INSIDE the house in a bedroom. The laundry area is shared as well as the yard, which is fine, but we were not there to keep an eye on young children as we had a group of adults with no children for the week. They were very firm on the no smoking policy, which I respect. But when they came over and complained because someone was smoking a cigarette down by the water at the bonfire, I felt that was a little ridiculous. We were definitely more than 500 feet away from the home. They asked us to walk downtown to smoke. All in all I would say this is a great location, but not inviting to adults with no children. For the price they could update some of the patio furniture (broken plastic chairs).

This was a hard week for us as owners to see our property be mistreated. We had multiple complaints from our neighbors regarding these renters and so yes we were trying to keep the peace. As far as us being "intrusive" this was the exact type of renters that our location is not suited for. If you are looking to come party and be so drunk that we have to go over at midnight and tell you stop screaming "f--words" at the top of your lungs and threaten your friend to a fight then this place is not for you. We came over to stop the fight and save our house from being destroyed. This is a close nit family friendly area and the houses are original to the lake and on small land parcels. On top of that they are also the reason that we now do not allow smoking anywhere on our property...ANYWHERE. We had multiple complaints from multiple neighbors regarding noise and smoking from this group. You were not 500 feet away since the plot of this land is only 80 front feet of lake front . Your smoke was constantly wafting up into our home and our neighbors making it awful for us. Not to mention the fact that our place was trashed from them staying with us. Our cleaning lady needed an extra person and more money just to get it clean again. As far as the kids go, we have multiple families that rent from us that have families of their own and we have become friends with and our kids go in between both cottages to play. We try our hardest to give everyone the privacy they would like, but 9 time out of 10 we end up hanging out or becoming friends with our renters given to close proximity to all of our cottages on our street. Our little boy (at the time 2) did not quite understand oh this house he can normally go in it’s always inviting. We understand that not every one wants kids by them on an adult only vacation but since all the houses near by have multiple kids, you have to be aware of your actions. The only reason we were "intrusive" was because of the concern for treatment of our property and the complete lack of any sort of adult responsibility or behavior from this group. At the beginning of this last rental season we did have a few plumbing/ maintenance issues that we had a difficult time getting fixed since we had just switched property managers. The sooner we know about the problem the faster it can be fixed. As far as we know everything is fixed and working. That is never fun to have those problems on vacation, but this is an old original cottage. The s

Beautiful sunsets, unsafe security for children from lake & biting bed bugs!!

We loved the features & character of this old cabin with a Great location & Beautiful sunsets!! This place is very neglected which is so sad seeing it was his grandpas…he would be ashamed! Clearly he just cares about the money coming in! No proper security on lake side or secure fencing in front (wobbly Chicken wire between homes 🙄) Our biggest problem was the owner NEVER RESOLVED the safety issue that we addressed the very first night we arrived!! I texted 2 times which he answered with promises & he came over twice which was nice but what good is it if you never help to resolve the issues & make excuses!! He just doesn’t care! No door knobs on the water side of the lake with only a little slide lock on French doors that clearly was eye level that a small child could easily figure out & a porch door that didn’t even have a door knob let alone a lock! Such a hazard for small children that could easily escape & die from drowning!! I spent 2 days of my vacation cleaning & going to the hardware to find something to make it secure the day before our 2 grandsons arrived (3yrs-9mo) to make it SAFE, clean, & presentable!! We left it better than when we arrived! The next issue we had there was biting bed bugs all over the place! My daughter & 9 mo grandson were peppered with bites & huge welts from visiting! 😥 I also encountered sleeping with this residents!! 😖 *if you don’t mind biting bugs & no locks on lake side for children then this is your place! 👍

To start off there are no bed bugs in the house, and never have been. There however can be swimmers itch in the lake, like many inland lakes in Michigan as the water warms up swimmers itch can show up, mostly in the shallows, unfortunately where kids tend to play the most. This is why the bumps only showed up on her grand kids and not anyone else in there group. Not to mention that no one else have ever mentioned bed bugs and would be an on going issue in the reviews if there were any. As far as the safety issue it is so far blown out of portion its crazy. The door at issue is an exterior screen door to a screened in porch. The handle on it did break this year, it is an antique door and I have had to special order the part to fix it. I even explained this to them that it would not be able to be fixed while they were there. The main interior door to the lake side functions more than properly to prevent any sort of safety issue for kids. The fenced in back yard is "shared" with our cottage next door and a renter this year put up the chicken wire on there own accord since they had a potentially aggressive dog they wanted to keep separate. I decided to leave it for the rest of the season so there was some separation of the yards since we allow dogs at both places. For next season we will be doing a more permanent/better solution for separating the two back yards.
