Om boendet

500 'till Torch Lake & parken - GÄ till pittoreska Alden-reducerade hösten och vÄren priser

GÄ till centrum av Alden, till den historiska Train Depot Park and Museum, upp och runt bevarandet pÄ Coy Mountain, och promenera till den fantastiska Torch Lake-stranden och den nÀrliggande stranden - allt frÄn detta historiska viktorianska hem 1870-talet. Njut av bekvÀmligheterna hem i detta tre sovrum, tvÄ badrum, tvÄ vÄningar Alden byhus.

Tre sovrum (2 med drottningssÀngar och 1 med 2 enkelsÀngar) och 2 badrum (ett pÄ första vÄningen och ett pÄ övervÄningen) ger en bekvÀm vistelse för upp till 6 personer. Fullt utrustat kök gör det möjligt att Àta hemma om du vill. Val av matplats inkluderar i köket eller verandan eller till och med den ursprungliga matsalen för familjen.

De yttre fÀrgerna kommer att pÄminna dig om kraften och djupet och skönheten i sjÀlva Torch Lake. Om det har gÄtt nÄgra Är sedan du hyrde hemmet, vÀlkommen tillbaka till det "nya utseendet" pÄ vÄrt fritidshus i pittoreska Alden.

Du kommer att vara belÀgen tvÀrs över huvudvÀgen till östkusten frÄn Torch Lake. Lokalbefolkning och besökare vet vad en stor sjön fackla Àr för semester, sightseeing, vattensporter (inklusive bad, bÄtliv, kajakpaddling, slangar och mer). Du Àr bara ett par kvarter frÄn charmiga centrum av Alden sjÀlv och dess marina, unika butiker och restauranger. Och du Àr vid foten av det 17 tunnland stora bevarandet som Àr "Coy Mountain".

Upplev vackra solnedgÄngar och utsikt över Torch Lake frÄn köket och vardagsrummet och frÄn den vÀsterlÀge verandan pÄ soffan eller gungan. Simma i Torch Lake och den anslutna kedjan av sjöar, bÄt genom den nedre "kedjan av sjöar" (fackla, Bellaire, Elk, Clam, Skegemog). Detta rökfria hem Àr mycket nÀra pro-golfbanor i omrÄdet, Traverse City shopping och vingÄrdar Old Mission Peninsula och Leelanau County. Boyne, Petoskey och Harbor Springs Àr trevliga rundturer samma dag utflykter.

Sleeping Bear Dunes Àr drygt en timme vÀsterut.

Du kommer att bo i det som lokalbefolkningen lÀnge kallar "Chapelle" -huset, som i slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet var rummet och pensionatet för besökare frÄn downstate och frÄn Chicago och Ohio. Hemmet var Ànnu större dÄ, med ett tvÄ vÄningar rum med anslutning till det som nu Àr de franska dörrarna i den formella matsalen. I sjÀlva verket hittar du vykortet frÄn hemmet cirka 1910 i vykortsamlingen pÄ Historiska museet, tvÀrs över huvudvÀgen frÄn dig, mot sjön.

Den dubbla hörnsdelen ger utrymme för barn i alla Äldrar att spela precis i din trÀdgÄrd, om du och de föredrar.

Alden ligger bara 25 minuter nordost om Traverse City och Old Mission Peninsula (och dess fantastiska vingÄrdar) och bara 15 minuter sydvÀst om Shanty Creek och Bellaire. Lite lÀngre vÀster förbi Traverse Citys mat- och shoppingglÀder Àr vingÄrdar pÄ Leelanau-halvön.

Alden ligger pÄ den sydöstra stranden av den vackra fackla sjön. Din bÄt glider lÀtt in och ut frÄn Torch Lake vid den offentliga marinan och glider i stan. Sedan ligger hela sjökedjan framför dig att utforska och njuta av. Ingen egen bÄt? Uthyrning finns tillgÀngliga efter val av lokala marinor. Vi kan tillhandahÄlla deras kontaktnummer om du vill.

Om du föredrar att vara hemma nÄgon dag eller kvÀll, förbered din middag pÄ Weber kolgrill och njut av den i matsalen eller som en picknick pÄ verandan eller i den nÀrliggande parken eller upp pÄ Coy Mountain.

Tyst kvÀllar pÄ verandan eller titta pÄ videor eller TV Àr ocksÄ dina underhÄllningsalternativ. Kabel-TV-tjÀnsterna har grundlÀggande 'nÀtverk' och kabelkanaler.

Behöver du arbeta eller hÄlla jÀmna steg med e-postmeddelanden? (Vi vet att mÄnga mÄste göra det). VÄrt höghastighetsinternet modem tillhandahÄlls för din anvÀndning. Gratis, sÀkrad WiFi erbjuds. Eller sÄ kan du ansluta via Ethernet. Om du inte har din egen anslutningskabel, lÄna oss vÄr.

Aldens och omgivande Helena Townships historia kan vara av intresse för dig. Forskning om omrÄdet berÀttar för allt att "Helena blev berömd som ett sommarortomrÄde i slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet. De huvudsakliga orterna var Belden Heights vid Alden (det Àr vÄrt hem i och du kommer att se platta pÄ vardagsrumsvÀggen); Lone Tree Point och Waswagonik nÀra Clam River; Crystal Beach Hotel pÄ södra Ànden av Torch Lake; och Watson's Inn at Torch River. MÄnga vackra hus och stugor byggdes vid stranden av facklan och Clam Lakes. Pere Marquete-jÀrnvÀgstjÀnstemÀnnen uppgav att fler biljetter sÄldes frÄn Chicago till Alden under sÀsongen Àn till nÄgon annan punkt pÄ deras linje i orten. Det Àr fortfarande mycket populÀrt och fortsÀtter att vÀxa i detta avseende. "

House Has a lot character and was very clean. The neighborhood was peaceful and close to everything we needed. Primary reason for choosing Alden was the proximity to the boat launch, which we used daily. We would love to come back.

Charming house and town

This is a great place to stay for a quiet vacation near the water. The house is well kept and comfortable. It is centrally located between Traverse City and Charlevoix/Petoskey. Richard was gracious enough to allow to stay an extra day. This gave us an extra day of exploring which was wonderful.

It was perfect for me, my husband, my sister and brother in law (they were visiting from NY). We had such a great time. You can see a bit of Torch Lake from the kitchen and front porch and it’s a short walk to take in the greater views. The shops in Alden are a short stroll away and everyone was so nice. There’s a nice trail at the end of the road and the house is conveniently located for day trips to Mackinac Island, Charlevoix, Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes as well as wineries - we did Torch Lake Cellars, small but close and delicious wines with beautiful views. The house is charming - you feel like you’re at your grandmother’s home - clean and comfortable. Just remember to bring your own sheets and towels and pack accordingly as there is no washer and dryer - these were not an inconvenience for us though but could be for those who come in from out of town with limited packing. Overall, would stay again! Rich and Karen are wonderful communicators and answered all questions and concerns - thank you for sharing your historic home!!

Perfect Getaway

Our first visit to Alden and Torch Lake area. Home is in perfect location and just minute(s) literally from Torch Lake with easy Lake access. Quiet, peaceful and PLENTY of room. Town within walking distance. Alden Muffin Tin has the BEST coffee and muffins and you cannot miss stopping into the Alden's Mill House, so cute! Great ice cream in town too. We recommend, it was perfectly peaceful.

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.

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!!

Brown’s Victorian ~

Beautiful property in a great location. It was an easy walk into Alden and centrally located to many of our favorite areas ~ TC, Elk Rapids, Leelanau Peninsula, Bellaire and the like. The property was just as described and the owners provided even more details to allow us to be well-prepared for our trip. The love of their home is evident in the details and history of the home/area that mr & Mrs. Brown share with renters. We would gladly stay here again. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us to allow our annual vacation UpNorth to continue.

This is the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. From the initial booking everything was smooth, seamless and perfect. The Brown’s have a wonderful older home that they have lovingly been restoring and it is the perfect place to enjoy the area. We couldn’t be more happy. Check in was fast at Paradise Properties and they had a welcome packet with gift cards to Alden Spice Shop and The Muffin Tin. The historic older home was a perfect fit for us. Lots of room and fully stocked. If you need it, they have it. I felt like I was visiting my Grandparents house. Loved it. Pictures don’t do justice to all the amenities you will encounter. We are already planning another stay. Thank you for going above and beyond as hosts.

This was definitely a different experience for me and my group! The house is definitely an older style home which we did find a little “creepy” but we got use to it really fast. (Most of us never stayed in a small town/cottage home). At first we were a little worried but quickly enjoyed what we booked. We didnt spend much time at the home besides sleeping and getting ready for dinner. We would book again!

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.

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!!

We adored this beautiful home located right near torch lake! The home was fully furnished with all the necessities you would need for vacation, dishes, utensils, spices, cookware and TVs with firestick capability so we could enjoy catching up on our shows in the evening! The owners were so kind, helpful and really made our stay wonderful. We appreciated the history we read about the house and all the character it has.

Much needed get-away

This home was perfectly located! It allowed us to take several day trips to explore Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. It provided my children with an opportunity to see a part of this country they'd never seen before. It gave my husband and I a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house itself was well stocked with all the essentials. The owners are very easy to work with and communicate quickly. If and when we find our way back we will certainly consider staying here again.

Om vÀrden

Rich and Karen Brown Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
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.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

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.

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.
