This is the best location on Torch Lake with perfect sunset views, a sandy beach with just the right slope, and an easy walk to downtown Alden's boutiques and restaurants. Our three-bedroom, two-bath cottage is a charming mix of vintage with modern amenities. The full-width front porch offers a panoramic lake view of your own sandy beach, dock, and mooring buoy if you'd like to bring a boat. The cottage comes with two sit-on-top kayaks for swimming and exploring. Full kitchen for cooking inside and a gas grill outside. Great township park with playground and tennis courts close by, fantastic biking on Antrim County's scenic roads, and a perfect base for exploring all that Northern Michigan has to offer.

We are fourth generation owners of this cottage, which has been our family’s getaway for over 100 years. We’d love to get to know a little about your group and look forward to welcoming you to Torch Lake!

    The cottage was very charming, the location was ideal, the neighbors were friendly. The only negative was the water had a severe sulfur smell. It made showering and washing dishes not very pleasant. A plumber showed up to replace a filter and said this would take care of it. It improved a little but still not very pleasant.

    Charming 100 year old cottage. Worked well for our family. Could use some updates, but overall was nice.

    Our family had a fantastic time at Torch Lake. The cottage was great, a classic cottage feel with all the amenities we needed. Private piece of beach just steps from the large porch was perfect for hours of swimming. Very short walk to the main strip with shops, restaurants and even a wine tasting room. You can't go wrong with this cottage!

    Wonderful place right at beautiful Torch Lake. We loved the kayaks, nearby playground and restaurants, fenced yard for our puppy, well-equipped kitchen, and friendly neighbors. Very cute cottage with great porch facing the lake! Wonderful hosts. Thanks for renting to us!

    Absolutely darling cottage! The lake views were amazing! This cottage has so much charm and history that you don’t want to leave. The hosts were great to work with and obviously care about their property. They were quick to answer questions and provided everything you could ever possibly need to make your stay enjoyable. It’s close to quaint Alden and Belaire. There is a mooring buoy if you have a boat and want to explore the local lakes. And the porch overlooking the lake!! AMAZING!! Seriously- I can’t imagine a more perfect Torch Lake rental.
