Vacation Rental Description

Located on breathtakingly beautiful Torch Lake, this Non-Smoking 
property has been owned by the same family since the late 1800's. The 
cottage features natural wood interiors, two woodburning fireplaces, 
 
shelves of books, gorgeous views of the lake, coziness, and simplicity. 
 
Equally suitable for families with young children or older couples, it 
comfortably sleeps six people, with a Guest Cottage sleeping four more 
for an additional fee. We have 150 feet of lakefront, including a 
sandy beach, a private dock and a boat hoist. The lake's sandy bottom 
is shallow for a fair distance, 
making it ideal for children. The cottage sits at the end of a private 
road in a secluded setting thick with mature trees. Its location on 
the east side of the lake affords spectacular views of the setting 
sun, especially from the large open air deck which overlooks the lake, 
and the near-constant lull of water lapping at the shore. There is 
also a smaller private deck, complete with a hammock swing (one of 
several on the property), off the master suite. 
 
Torch Lake was named the third most beautiful lake in the world by 
National Geographic Magazine. The water is so clear you can see the 
sandy bottom all the way out to the "drop-off." On sunny days, the 
lake has ribbons of turquoise color that are reminiscent of the 
Caribbean. Torch is the largest lake in Michigan (19 miles long and 
about two miles wide) and is part of a chain of lakes which allows 
boating from Elk Rapids to Bellaire. 
 
A 15-minute stroll takes you to the small and charming village of 
Alden. It has one of Torch Lake's four public boat ramps, a number of 
restaurants (both casual and fine cuisine), art galleries, a variety 
of shops, a playground, a public tennis court, and a library. Green 
woods and broad fields extend out from the town, offering great 
cycling and walking. 
 
Popular tourist destinations such as Traverse City, Charlevoix, the 
Leelanau Peninsula, and Petoskey are all within an hour's drive. 
Should you choose to venture further afield, Interlochen National 
Music Camp (offering excellent concerts), Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, 
Mackinac Island, or Hartwick Pines are well worth visiting. 
 
Because the cottage is a family heirloom, we request great care and 
consideration from our renters.
