Step back in time and make lasting family memories at Cranberry Cottage, one of the oldest homes on Torch Lake—perfectly blending historic charm with relaxed lakefront living. With its own sandy beach area, day dock, and sweeping lake views, this classic cottage offers everything you need for a fun, peaceful getaway.

Inside, you’ll find five comfortable bedrooms and two full baths, ideal for families or groups of up to ten. Guests love the cozy beds, well-stocked kitchen, and inviting stone fireplace—perfect for those cool northern Michigan evenings. The laundry room off the kitchen adds modern convenience, while the large covered patio and shoreline fire pit invite you to relax, share stories, and watch unforgettable sunsets.

The location couldn’t be better—just ¼ mile from The Dockside and DeWitt’s Marina, where you can rent a boat or grab a casual lakeside meal. Many guests enjoy paddling, swimming, or renting a pontoon right from the dock. Towels are provided (including some beach towels), and a new gas grill makes lakeside cookouts easy and fun.

Families rave about how peaceful, convenient, and comfortable Cranberry Cottage is—close to groceries and restaurants, yet offering the privacy and nostalgia of a true up-north retreat. Whether you’re unwinding by the fire, swimming at the beach, or simply enjoying the timeless beauty of Torch Lake, Cranberry Cottage is the perfect place to reconnect and recharge.

All guests must be 25 or older, unless families with small children. A refundable $500 security deposit is required and will be refunded after departure, if there are no issues.

    This place was perfect and we were all impressed with the property. Starting with the oversized driveway. We brought a boat and the driveway was perfect for us to park the trailer and boat when not using it during our stay. We had 10 of us that were staying in the cottage and had plenty of room for comfort and when we slept there were plenty of beds. The back patio was awesome with the extra seating and space to enjoy outback. And just a short walk down the stairs we had beach access and a perfect little fire pit to enjoy the night and listen to the water. They have a grill and most eating amenities but we did bring a black stone. The best part was communication between me and host. Easy to contact and responded efficiently. 10/10 recommend this property for your next adventure!

    Quintessential cabin just steps from the lake with a cute dock, fire pit and chairs . Water is shallow about 1/8 mile out and slightly rocky. Bring water shoes and a kayak!! Fun! Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and super easy to communicate with the owners. The waterfront is beautiful and quiet. The town of Alden (5-10 min drive) is super cute and convenient. I would definitely stay again !
