About this property

Walk to the Lake/Sandbar in under 3 Minutes!!

Situated across the road from Torch Lake this house offers the perfect getaway with 2 public lake/sandbar accesses conveniently located less than a 3 minute walk down the road. This vacation home is just minutes away from downtown Alden (2.3 miles) and Elk Rapids (13 miles).

The house was updated in the spring of 2018. The vacation home includes a full kitchen, with stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Next to the kitchen is a dining area that seats up to 9 people. There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer. The master bedroom, at the back of the house, includes a King sized bed and television, there is a walk-in closet and master bathroom attached. A second bedroom offers a closet and a twin-over-full wooden bunk bed. The half bath is located across from the second bedroom. From the living room, located in the front of the house, you can get glimpses of the lake through the trees across the road. Out the living room door there is a covered porch with views of Torch Lake (through the trees) and the small frog pond on the property. The upstairs offers two more bedrooms, one full bath and a kitchenette with compact fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The woods bedroom towards the back of the house has a queen size bed and a 42' smart TV. The lake view room with Torch Lake views offers a full bed and a cozy reading nook.

A charming pond with water lilies and lots of frogs (no fishing !) is located in front of the house. But perhaps the best part of the house is outback. There is a romantic fire pit and a hammock located out the backdoor. The fire pit is the perfect place for s'mores, camp songs, and ghost stories. A grill is provided for cookouts. The backyard leads right into the forest behind the house. The forest offers miles of trails to explore.

Please note that this house is located in a residential neighborhood and we want to be respectful of our neighbors. The vacation home is intended for families who want to make life-long memories and not meant for loud parties.

Great Stay
The home is really nice and we had a good amount of space for our families, 4 teens and 4 adults. Kitchen has everything we needed, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and washer/dryer worked well. The garage was great for games and the front porch and backyard fire pit gave us space to enjoy the outdoors. We enjoyed our week at Torch Lake.

All your needs met
This house has everything you need. Plenty of space and activities to keep you busy. We enjoyed the firepit, garage games and hiking trails! She has supplied everything you need for kitchen neccessities. Everything is labeled and very organized down to a first aid kit and emergency supplies. Our only complaint is the road is fairly busy and loud which was unexpected. But that’s really the only complaint.

Lovely spot in the trees
Lots of shade in the hot weather, perfect for our family. Lack of beachy access areas was a disappointment. Despite that, we had a great time.

Mom and grown sons relaxation week
I can’t say enough about Torch Lake, or this property! Beautifully clean and organized, pretty much everything you need is already here: beach towels, floats, even bug spray. The frog pond and campfire circle are ridiculously relaxing to sit aside. Owners just across the street, too! Great experience. 10/10
