All the family fun in one cozy destination. If you’re more of an adventurist, there is also a kayak and SUP rental company in downtown Alden or you can bring your own and launch right across the street. We also have a few nice rivers in the area to really immerse yourself in nature. If two wheels are your thing, Glacial Hills has a nice set of flow mountain bike trails that can be ridden or hiked. If you prefer hiking there are several beautiful nature areas to explore including Coy Mountain, Glacial Hills and Grass River Natural Area. Looking for a more leisurely activity? We are minutes away from the award-winning Shanty Creek Resorts golf courses — including Hawk Eye, Cedar River, and The Legend.

Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy The space itself is very nice, however, our experience was not as enjoyable as it could have been due to some faulty smoke alarms that kept going off at random times during our stay. They went off two separate nights waking everyone up and causing panic. The owner attempted a repair, but the next day they went off again bringing half the fire department out to the house when the owner could not be reached. A real damper on an otherwise wonderful trip. ##### Mark L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristina D.

This house was perfect for our adult weekend on Torch lake. The cleanliness of the house was the first thing all of us noticed. Plenty of space in the main area for a group of people to hang out and the back patio was great as well! Daniel was prompt at answering my questions leading up to and during the stay. The big half circle driveway was also a plus and made life easy for the multiple vehicles and our boat we had parked there. The location was perfect for us too, minutes away from the DNR boat launch that we used and an easy drive to surrounding restaurants and stores. ##### Curt R.

There were 5 adults so we used all of the bedrooms but not the bunk beds or futons. The place was very modern and looked like all new appliances. Great kitchen, bathrooms, and living area with huge tv. We also like the fans in every room and enjoyed the outdoor patio. The only downside is that the master bedroom smelled a little musty and it sits off a busy road but it was a great location to a market, cute places to eat and right across an access point to Torch Lake ##### Valerie D.

Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Torch Lake vacation We just spent a week at this property for a family vacation with 4 adults and 3 young children. Property was clean; house was recently renovated and very comfortable. Many outdoor games for the kids to use on the patio. Good location for exploring Traverse City and other Michigan "up north" areas. Owner responded immediately to any questions I had. Torch lake access and great open area park area was a short walk but across the busy road. Kids needed to be monitored carefully due to traffic. We did though, take advantage of the park/beach as well as others in town, including tennis courts close by. ##### marsha w. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelli S.

This property was very clean, had wonderful furnishings and was well stocked with supplies. The back deck is beautiful and a great place to relax after a day on Torch Lake. The welcome book had great notes and recommendations. We had a great stay! The property is very conveniently located. It is close to multiple boat launches. It is also close to Village Market grocery store, about 1 mile away. We were pleasantly surprised by the offering of food and alcohol at Village Market. If you are looking to swim without a boat, there is a public park just across the street and it wasn't very busy at all. The road can be a bit busy but this wasn't an issue or deterrent by any means. Book this property, you won't be disappointed! ##### Kelli S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather H. Oct 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Stay Daniel was overly accommodating, letting us know when we could check in earlier than expected. The house was immaculately clean and spacious for all 5 of our guests. There were many nice add-on touches throughout such as a smores kit for the back patio, a bag of coffee for the morning, nice toiletry products, etc. There was extra pillows and blankets in the closets and games and tvs to enjoy. We were only there for a brief time as we had a birthday party in town that took most of our weekend but we would definitely book again and plan to spend more time enjoying the house and yard. A great place for families or a large group of adults. We had 5 adults and it was more than enough space and privacy for all of us. Will book again! Thanks! ##### Heather H.

Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem! we were two families of four that enjoyed this property for 5 days. The house is well taken care of and properly set up for family fun. Xbox in the kids room, lots of board games and even lawn games ready for screen free fun. Being right across from the lake was an easy answer for our last minute booking. The road is a bit busy - but worth the 3 to 5 min walk for early morning dips or late evening swims. The back porch was a perfect spot for our adult time while the kids watched movies / played games. The outdoor flat top was clutch for large evening dinners under the stars. Dan was an incredible host - quick with responses and easy to work with. Highly recommend this hidden gem that is a perfect getaway. ##### Emily H.

The house was very clean and updated with plenty of space for our family. The back deck is very nice and it was great to have the black stone as an option for cooking. The house is very well stocked and the owners were easy to communicate with and provided lots of helpful information. It was extremely helpful to have a driveway to pull our boat through as well. I did want to mention that this house is right on a busy road, so there is quite a bit of road noise. The rooms do have fans which help drown it out a bit, but cars are flying by quite often. We still had a great time and really enjoyed this home since we spent most of our time on the lake anyways. ##### Lesley H. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly C. Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent VRBO We stayed for 5 nights with two “big kids” and three “littles”— had a great time. The property is very unique. -Extremely- clean. Centrally located. Everything you could need for comfort (including a -really- cool Blackstone outdoors which is also located on a very nicely designed patio/outdoor entertainment area. Daniel and his wife were beyond easy to communicate with and were available for anything that came up to be sure our stay was comfortable (including making sure we had what we needed to get through a power outage caused by a storm — without us even asking for help!). Very understanding, very hospitable hosts. We will be back to this property. Added bonus: circle drive for anyone with a boat and two DNR launches minutes from the property — don’t have a boat? Beach is within walking distance. ##### Kelly C.
