Nestled just across the road from the crystal-clear waters of Torch Lake, this inviting home is the perfect setting for a memorable family getaway. With two public lake and sandbar access points less than a 3-minute walk away, you’ll have easy access to one of Michigan’s most beautiful destinations. You’re also just minutes from the charming shops and restaurants of downtown Alden (2.3 miles) and a short drive to Elk Rapids (13 miles).

Inside, the home is thoughtfullydesigned for comfort and connection. The fully equipped kitchen—complete with stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave—makes it easy to prepare meals, while the adjacent dining area comfortably seats up to nine, perfect for gathering together. A convenient laundry room with washer and dryer is also available.

The main level features a spacious master suite tucked at the back of the house, offering a king-sized bed, TV, walk-in closet, and private bathroom. A second bedroom includes a cozy twin-over-full bunk bed and closet, with a nearby half bath. At the front of the home, the living room serves as a warm and inviting gathering space for relaxing and spending time together, while the covered porch offers peaceful glimpses of Torch Lake through the trees.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient kitchenette with a compact fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—perfect for added privacy or extended family stays. Both upstairs bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds—one with serene wooded views and a 42” smart TV, and the other offering glimpses of Torch Lake along with a cozy reading nook.

The spacious four-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a fun-filled game room, featuring a pool table, ping pong table, and two picnic tables—creating the perfect spot for family gatherings, friendly competition, and making lasting memories together.

Out back, the magic continues with a romantic fire pit, a relaxing hammock, and a grill for family cookouts. Step beyond the backyard and you’ll find yourself immersed in peaceful forest trails—perfect for exploring, unwinding, and making lasting memories together.

This home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, and we kindly ask guests to respect our neighbors. This vacation home is designed for families looking to create meaningful, lifelong memories—not for loud parties or large gatherings.

    First time renting a vacation home and my experience was amazing. The weather did not cooperate with our stay but everything else did. I was very happy with all the supplies available and the fun we could have on the property despite the rain. The home suited our family of 5 adults and my 10 month old granddaughter. Looking forward to renting again.

    Excellent location and very well stocked with everything needed for an exceptional stay. Loved the fire pit area! The only downsides were the two sofas in the living room which need to have cushions re-stuffed or replaced and the lack of a private access to the beautiful Torch Lake. The house was very clean.

    This rental was the cleanest I’ve ever been in. The house is bigger than the pictures show. We were impressed.

    We had a wonderful time at this house. Everything we needed was provided including some starter s’mores ingredients. House and property were a beautiful area that let us explore many nearby cities. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the lake the most. Thank you!

    Perfect home for a family vacation. Location across the street from Torch Lake was convenient and access to pontoon boat rental was a plus. Owners were friendly and responsive to any issues that we encountered. The home was near several towns, beaches and parks. Would highly recommend for families with children. Great experience overall.

    The place was perfect for us. Lots of kitchen ware and great beds. We had a whole family reunion and on our night the garage and fire pit worked out perfectly. The location was excellent we went to Traverse City and Charlevoix.both about 35 m. We plan on going back.

    We enjoyed another wonderful week in this Torch Lake area home! You can always count on Anja's VRBO properties to be extremely clean and well-appointed. We plan to return next summer!
