Om boendet

500 'till Torch Lake & parken - Gå till pittoreska Alden-reducerade hösten och våren priser

Gå till centrum av Alden, till den historiska Train Depot Park and Museum, upp och runt bevarandet på Coy Mountain, och promenera till den fantastiska Torch Lake-stranden och den närliggande stranden - allt från detta historiska viktorianska hem 1870-talet. Njut av bekvämligheterna hem i detta tre sovrum, två badrum, två våningar Alden byhus.

Tre sovrum (2 med drottningssängar och 1 med 2 enkelsängar) och 2 badrum (ett på första våningen och ett på övervåningen) ger en bekväm vistelse för upp till 6 personer. Fullt utrustat kök gör det möjligt att äta hemma om du vill. Val av matplats inkluderar i köket eller verandan eller till och med den ursprungliga matsalen för familjen.

De yttre färgerna kommer att påminna dig om kraften och djupet och skönheten i själva Torch Lake. Om det har gått några år sedan du hyrde hemmet, välkommen tillbaka till det "nya utseendet" på vårt fritidshus i pittoreska Alden.

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

Upplev vackra solnedgångar och utsikt över Torch Lake från köket och vardagsrummet och från den västerläge verandan på soffan eller gungan. Simma i Torch Lake och den anslutna kedjan av sjöar, båt genom den nedre "kedjan av sjöar" (fackla, Bellaire, Elk, Clam, Skegemog). Detta rökfria hem är mycket nära pro-golfbanor i området, Traverse City shopping och vingårdar Old Mission Peninsula och Leelanau County. Boyne, Petoskey och Harbor Springs är trevliga rundturer samma dag utflykter.

Sleeping Bear Dunes är drygt en timme västerut.

Du kommer att bo i det som lokalbefolkningen länge kallar "Chapelle" -huset, som i slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet var rummet och pensionatet för besökare från downstate och från Chicago och Ohio. Hemmet var ännu större då, med ett två våningar rum med anslutning till det som nu är de franska dörrarna i den formella matsalen. I själva verket hittar du vykortet från hemmet cirka 1910 i vykortsamlingen på Historiska museet, tvärs över huvudvägen från dig, mot sjön.

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

Alden ligger bara 25 minuter nordost om Traverse City och Old Mission Peninsula (och dess fantastiska vingårdar) och bara 15 minuter sydväst om Shanty Creek och Bellaire. Lite längre väster förbi Traverse Citys mat- och shoppinggläder är vingårdar på Leelanau-halvön.

Alden ligger på den sydöstra stranden av den vackra fackla sjön. Din båt glider lätt in och ut från Torch Lake vid den offentliga marinan och glider i stan. Sedan ligger hela sjökedjan framför dig att utforska och njuta av. Ingen egen båt? Uthyrning finns tillgängliga efter val av lokala marinor. Vi kan tillhandahålla deras kontaktnummer om du vill.

Om du föredrar att vara hemma någon dag eller kväll, förbered din middag på Weber kolgrill och njut av den i matsalen eller som en picknick på verandan eller i den närliggande parken eller upp på Coy Mountain.

Tyst kvällar på verandan eller titta på videor eller TV är också dina underhållningsalternativ. Kabel-TV-tjänsterna har grundläggande 'nätverk' och kabelkanaler.

Behöver du arbeta eller hålla jämna steg med e-postmeddelanden? (Vi vet att många måste göra det). Vårt höghastighetsinternet modem tillhandahålls för din användning. Gratis, säkrad WiFi erbjuds. Eller så kan du ansluta via Ethernet. Om du inte har din egen anslutningskabel, låna oss vår.

Aldens och omgivande Helena Townships historia kan vara av intresse för dig. Forskning om området berättar för allt att "Helena blev berömd som ett sommarortområde i slutet av 1800-talet och början av 1900-talet. De huvudsakliga orterna var Belden Heights vid Alden (det är vårt hem i och du kommer att se platta på vardagsrumsväggen); Lone Tree Point och Waswagonik nära Clam River; Crystal Beach Hotel på södra änden av Torch Lake; och Watson's Inn at Torch River. Många vackra hus och stugor byggdes vid stranden av facklan och Clam Lakes. Pere Marquete-järnvägstjänstemännen uppgav att fler biljetter såldes från Chicago till Alden under säsongen än till någon annan punkt på deras linje i orten. Det är fortfarande mycket populärt och fortsätter att växa i detta avseende. "

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.

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!!

Charming historic home was clean, well appointed and stocked. Enjoyed walks to town, lake, pier, restaurants and in the neighborhood. My friend and I are preparing to walk a half marathon, so there were interesting routes to take long walks. Family likes fishing so we tried different access points. We really enjoyed this house!

Wonderful time

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. We also enjoyed all of the helpful notes/information located in the house regarding how to work devices, etc. The owners put a lot of thought and care into the stay and we greatly appreciated all the small touches.

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.

Quaint Historic Home walking distance to Torch Lake and Alden

This cottage is super charming and a great location to explore the towns around Torch Lake. The owners have done a great job to make sure guests have everything they need for a memorable stay in Alden. We especially enjoyed learning the history of the home and beautiful area. A hike up Coy Mountain is a must and provides a great view of the lake.

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.

Thanks to your recommendations. We also enjoy a delicious meal at Terrain.

2nd year back and just as memorable

This was our 2nd year in a row renting the Brown Victorian and we absolutely love this house. Everything was just as we remembered from the previous year and even though it was only our 2nd year there it was a comfortably familiar feeling being at that house again. The charm, the location, the town of Alden and the wonderful view of torch lake. The kids had just as much fun this year as last and many more memories to hold onto. One thing we did miss was the porch swing that was on the front porch last year but aside from that we have already talked about booking this same house again for next year. Thank you to the Browns for again opening up there home for others to enjoy!

Historic Alden house in the pines

This lovely old house gives your stay a very local feel, with a special patch of lake (and caboose!) view from the porch. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with mature trees and a great backroads walk to the main part of town. If you aren’t going to stay right on the lake, then this house is pretty ideal. Walking to town for ice cream at Higgins and watching the sometimes shocking sunsets from the docks were favorites. The kitchen has storage for groceries and a toaster in the cupboard was appreciated. Loved the original wood floors and staircase. The other, spiral staircase is handy for kitchen access but a little wobbly. No air conditioning fine and we were even on the cool side some mornings with windows open and ceiling fan on. We opted for the sheet and towel rental and we’re very happy with this service. And kitchen towels were appreciated, thank you for renting these. The paper bath mats provided are better than nothing,, but cloth would be a step up and keep the floor drier. The living room is big and comfortable and the maps/magazines about the area were helpful and fun to look through, also our kids loved the games. Renting a pontoon boat was fun, even on a cool and cloudy day. The sandbar anchoring was a little tricky but our kids loved it. Best to go during the week on the early side or it gets crowded. Discovering Torch Lake Vineyards up the road in Bellaire was really special. Not enough info about this place. Its vineyards and a patio looking over another lake are breathtaking. I was given free tastings and found their wines and ciders and original seltzers just wonderful. What a cool place! The only drawbacks to the house were the beds and the upstairs bathroom. To be honest, the upstairs queen bed is only barely tolerable. My husband and I met in the abyss in the middle every night and the box springs are ancient. Also, when putting the sheets on, the mattress pad had others hair on it and was past need of a wash. The kids beds were hard as rocks, but most kids won’t notice, I guess. Since you have to take your luggage through the bathroom to the main bedroom, a revamping, renovation of the upstairs bathroom would be a good idea. It’s kept up alright, but really out of date and awkward. And since the drain is as slow as molasses, it isn’t an easy place for a family to share. We really enjoyed most of what this neat old house offers. If the beds get replaced, we would return.

Cute and Charming

This property is very cute and has a lot of history. There are some quirks that you get used to since it is such an old home (like floors with varying heights), and the upstairs bathroom is great for kids, but not so much for adults, but the downstairs bathroom is perfect. The beds are not comfortable, especially the first couple of nights, but I found myself sleeping fine after adjusting. The house itself is quite adorable and there are a lot of great amenities. The owners are very knowledgeable and were great sources of information. They provided so much information that we knew a ton about Alden and Torch Lake without looking to outside sources. The swimming area of the lake is about 10 minutes by car from the house, so not too bad. Higgins', in Alden, is the best spot for ice cream. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

Om värden

Rich and Karen Brown är värd

Värdens profilbild
Rich and Karen are just the third family to 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 would make regular visits from 'downstate'. Now we still make regular visits (as do the adult 'kids' and now the grandkids!) and we are pleased to share the home with others.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Alden is an ideal get-away, a small town with features we've come to enjoy -- inviting shops, friendly shop owners and nature trails and Torch Lake shorelines to explore. The home, whose original rooms (since updated) date to the 1870s, is a similar ideal get-away. We've treated "her" gently during the over 40+ years we've owned "her", and know that our guests will do likewise.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Relax on the front-porch swing, and sip your wine or cocktail or beer (stemware provided) and enjoy. Watch those SUNSETS from your porch. Ceiling fans in all bedrooms and most other rooms will comfort when needed in mid-summer. Enjoy the selection of board games and DVDs; also bring your favorite CDs and DVDs. The fully-equipped kitchen is for your dine-in pleasures. Formal dinners (they are allowed and fun, even on vacation!) in the dining room and casual 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 thing, and the enternainment 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.
