This wooded, 3-bedroom lake retreat is located on 100 ft of East Torch Lake waterfront, offering clear blue water, stunning sunsets and a perfect spot to enjoy bonfires on the beach, morning coffee on the deck and a sunset glass of wine. The cottage is spacious and accessible with an open floor plan, fully equipped kitchen (with a new induction range and butcher block island) dining room perfect for large family gatherings. There is a full bathroom and bedroom (queen bed) on the first floor and 2 roomy bedrooms upstairs (2 full beds in one and 2 twin over full bunk beds and a twin in the other) each with it’s own en-suite full bathroom. All 3 bedrooms face the water, offering beautiful breezes and peaceful nights, listening to the waves. The property has Wi-Fi and is conveniently located near Clam River with easy access to a boat ramp, water sport rentals, and the famous Dockside, a great spot for a beer and burger, watching the boats go by. A 70’ dock and swimming platform offers you a place to tie up your water toys, or just laze in the sunshine. We just added a new washer and dryer for your convenience. If you want to venture out, you are close to all the beauty and fun Northwest Michigan has to offer. Nestled between Traverse City and Charlevoix (30 miles each way) there are charming local shops and restaurants to explore as well as world class golfing, wineries and breweries, Lake Michigan beaches, hiking trails, and parks. We are located in a family neighborhood and your respectful adherence to quiet hour's is appreciated. This cottage has a spiral staircase potentially presenting a challenge for older and vey young guests. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Pickleball - Snow sports gear - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,860 square feet ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, table tennis, computer monitors](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30020000/30011900/30011832/99c4a6dc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ON TORCH LAKE!

Jul 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Lakefront Getaway for the Whole Family We recently stayed at this Torch Lake home with a group of nine — including my wife, our infant daughter, our dog, and extended family — and had a fantastic time. The property is tucked away in the woods, offering a quiet, peaceful atmosphere while still being right on the water — exactly what we were looking for.The home is older but very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space and beds for everyone in our group to feel comfortable. The beachfront access and private dock were hands-down the best features. Being able to go for a swim, sit on the deck, or watch the sunset over the lake whenever we pleased was incredible. The s’mores bag waiting for us at check-in was a great personal touch.The surrounding Alden area is always charming, with great local shops, restaurants, and bars nearby. The house was stocked with helpful amenities, and the host was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the stay.A few things to note: the house interior is a bit dated, and there's no A/C, which might be worth considering depending on the time of year. Also, the spiral staircase — while unique — was a bit tricky for both little ones and older adults. The checkout instructions were fairly detailed, especially regarding laundry, so just be sure to plan a little extra time on your departure day.That said, we’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a true lakefront experience. With some minor modern updates over time, this spot will continue to be a gem. ##### E S.
