About this property

Torch Lake home, south end of lake, sandy beach, mile-and-a-half from sand bar!

This is a great lakefront home on the south end of Torch Lake, just a mile-and-a-half from the famous sand bar! Sandy beach, long dock.

Enjoy tons of amenities, full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and every tool and small appliance (blender, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, etc.) you might need including TWO full size refrigerator/freezers, 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, sleeps 10 total.

Nearly all new beds! All bedding, pillows, bath/hand towels/washcloths and beach towels are included. 2 paddle boards, a lily pad are also there for your enjoyment. Grill on the outdoor gas grill each night, use the washer and dryer, sit out on the back deck that looks out over the lake and enjoy the gorgeous Torch Lake sunrises and sunsets and enjoy a beach bonfire! You are right on the south end of the lake, so enjoy both the sunrises and sunsets!

Our home is about a mile-and-a-half from the sand bar/Torch River and 2 miles from adorable Alden, Michigan, 30-40 minutes from Traverse City, 20 minutes to the horse show; this house has it all!

Home is 3,100 sq. ft., includes a large family room/living area, dining area with a countertop with stools, quiet den with TV. Want to work from home while on vacation? There is even a small office nook right outside the master bedroom.

House has central A/C, wifi, TVs, natural fireplace and firewood for cold nights. You are about 35 minutes from Traverse City, Meijer in Acme is only a 15 minute drive and Village Market Rapid City is around the corner. Elk Rapids is about 10-15 minutes. This house rents for only a few weeks each summer so act quickly!! We are only 15-20 minutes from great golf at Schuss Mountain.

There are 5 bedrooms, including 2 with king beds! Rest of the bedrooms are all queen beds.
We require a 7 night minimum, Sunday to Sunday. No exceptions!

Great family place
The house and property was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty of room inside and outside for the little kids. The location/distance too many marinas was perfect. Made for great day trips. Our days at the house were great! We enjoyed the absolutely beautiful lake. Paddle boards and lily pad available that we’d loved using. We hope to return again next year. our host Alyssa was very quick with replies when we had questions. We thank you Alyssa for sharing your home with us.

Great home away from home for the whole family.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week together at The Torch Lake House. It was very clean and comfortable. Our great grand children loved the sandy beach and shallow water going out quite a distance. Everything we needed to prepare meals was available in the nicely equipt kitchen. Watching the boats go by and sunsets from the deck were two of tour favorite pastimes.

Better than Advertised
The house is perfect for lake living. The view of Torch and its sunsets are beautiful. The hosts are more than generous with providing the essentials. The property is as private as it can be on the lake. We moored our pontoon, which wasn’t a problem since we were at the South end of the lake. We would definitely recommend this place for a nice relaxing vacation.

Beautiful house on Torch Lake
This house is amazing and even better in person. The location is perfect and the view of the sunset each night was our favorite part of the trip. The house is great for a large group and was super clean. Our kids of all ages loved the beach and the paddle boards. Highly recommend if you want a great spot on Torch lake!

Great Property at a Great Location
The property was exactly as described on the listing. Traveling as a group of 11 with a wide range of ages can be challenging, but everything went incredible smoothly. Communication with the hosts was excellent and the property had ample space for our group. We would definitely book again!
