Spring Break 2025

We were visiting Traverse City & Boyne during our stay, so the location was perfect. The proximity to Torch Lake was an added bonus. We were very impressed with the feel and cleanliness of the house. Very well maintained and decorated which made for a relaxing stay. We hope to book a stay here again in the near future.

Modern clean and cozy

Very nice little rental home. Owners provided wood for fire pit. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Radio in garage is nice for some outdoor music. If you are a fan person while you sleep you will have to bring one as there is only a ceiling fan in the living room. Overall bery satisfied.

Was the perfect place for our trip

We had a great time at this super adorable cottage. So close to downtown Alden which has all the essentials, and only 35 mins to Traverse City where we did an awesome wine tour. The cottage was super cute, clean and perfect for our three night stay. We enjoyed some time on the front porch as well as the back porch. We didn't get to utilize the fire pit but there was one available. The host was very nice and accommodating and we would definitely stay again
