Alden Cottage | The Little House on Torch Lake with optional Carriage House

4 Bedroom Cottage in Alden

Torch Lake has long been one of the most sort after “Up North” destinations.
Our 1920 cottage has been loved by our family since 2004
The cottage has four bedrooms, arranged as 1 king and 3 queens comfortably sleeping 8 people.
The Carriage House sleeps up to 6 extra people
The 2 bedroom 1 bathroom Carriage House is available upon request if extra sleeping arrangements are needed and only available to the family renting the main cottage.
Each bedroom has 1 queen and 1 Twin bed. There is a kitchenette with a microwave/airfryer, fridge and dishwasher
The Carriage House would be an additional charge to the cottage and starts at $295-$520 per night depending on the season.
The cottage is on the east side facing west, therefore we enjoy amazing sunsets every evening. We have 180ft of lake frontage and a dock.
There is a buoy in front of our cottage for your boat if you decide to bring your own or rent one.
The lake has easy access for boating all around Torch and interconnecting Elk Lake and Lake Bellaire.
Shanty Creek is 15 minutes away and great for skiing, snowboarding and tubing.
Boyne Mountain Resort is 45 minutes away and is excellent for skiing in the winter, golf in the summer and Avalanche Bay water park.
Traverse City is about 35 minutes away with great shopping, bars and restaurants.
For those that prefer a more leisurely pace Alden is a short walk from our cottage down a private pathway into town, where there could be a great coffee waiting for you at the Muffin Tin, quaint antique and gift shops, the not to be missed Higgins Store famous for its ice creams and The Mill House which has all your kitchen spices needed for grilling at sunset on the cottage deck.
The cottage is available for weekly rental Saturday to Saturday in the summer months, long weekends and longer stays at other times all year round.
In the winter you could be snuggled in front of the fireplace watching a movie or talking about the fun you've had on the ski slopes
Or
In the summer you could find yourself sitting by the fire pit watching the sun go down over beautiful Torch Lake.
