About this property

Walk to Torch Lake / Sandbar in under 2 Minutes!!

Situated across the road from Torch Lake, this house offers the perfect getaway with a public Torch Lake/sandbar access conveniently located less than a 2 minute walk down the road. It is also just minutes away from downtown Alden (2.2 miles) and Elk Rapids (13 miles).

The house was remodeled in the spring of 2015 and now includes a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances: a stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave. Located next to the kitchen is a dining area that seats up to 6 people. The living room, adjacent to the dining table, offers comfortable seating for family game nights and is also great for just relaxing. The master bedroom includes a queen sized bed as well as an attached walk-in closet and master bathroom. A second bedroom offers another queen sized bed and a third bedroom provides a full sized bed. There is also a washer and dryer located in the basement, right beside a foosball and ping pong table which are great for rainy days.

Perhaps the best part of the house is out back. There is a romantic fire pit and lots of firewood for our guests. 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 which offers miles of hiking 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.

FABULOUS
The property was exactly as pictured. The house was super clean and organized and the owner was quick to answer all my questions prior to arrival. The house had everything we needed for the week and more. The kids enjoyed the ping pong tables and corn hole. We also enjoyed the fire pit out back. Close to so many public access points to Torch lake . 3 are easily walking distance. We had to leave early because of a health concern with my daughter and the home owners even followed up to see how our daughter was doing. We couldn't have asked for a better home and location to enjoy Torch Lake for the week. Thank you Anja for sharing your home with us!!!

Great stay
We had a great stay and appreciated all of the amenities, the backyard and fire pit, toys for the kids, and the space to relax and enjoy our time up north. We did get swimmers itch in the shallow part of torch lake, but swimming off the boat in the deeper water was fine, and we spent a lot of time at the beach in elk rapids.

Super clean and tidy! The hone was recently completely remodeled and the decor was casual, comfortable and inviting. The owners live nearby and stopped by one evening while out walking their dog; super nice people and clearly interested in making sure we had everything we needed. We HIGHLY recommend this property.

Amazing!
This was our first trip to Michigan and it was even better than we imagined. The house was perfect for our family with plenty of room and activities for our teen and our 7 year old. The lake access was a couple steps away with a sandy bottom and clear water. We enjoyed exploring Traverse City and Peterson Beach on Lake Michigan. I definitely recommend getting a pontoon boat. Great way to end the summer!

Anja was the best host. Family reunion residence was about 0.2 miles from VRBO, and we were able to comfortably house the growing family members at her property. We are definitely interested in renting her properties again. ...impressively clean, comfortable, and accommodating.

Great house, great location!
My husband and I, along with my mother-in-law and 2 year old, thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Everything about the house was perfect - plenty of space, everything you need and impeccably clean! Even though the weather was not great, being less than an hour from Charlevoix and Traverse City, was perfect. Anja supplied a document with tons of helpful information about the house and the surrounding area, so we didn't have to search for anything while we were there! While we were there we had the opportunity to meet and chat with Anja and her husband, which was very nice! I would definitely come back and highly recommend staying here!

Spacious. Clean w/everything you need right across the street from Torch Lake Sandbar
My young family of four stayed in Anja and Christian’s lovely home. Our daughter is 4 and our son is 2. Upon arrival to the house, it was very clean, well kept, and you can tell the attention to detail in preparation for their guests. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need for feeding both adults and children. The master was perfect for us and each bedroom can be closed off for privacy. The hall tree in the mud room off the garage was a great place for items to be kept orderly and clean throughout the week. We had plenty of space to move around. We made most of our meals in the house, the appliances worked very well and all of the utensils, pots and pans were all there for us to use. We used the grill out back and the fire pit and it was so nice! There is even a nice large basement - not pictured on the listing which features plenty of space, ping pong table, Foosball table, life size connect four, rocking horse and an emergency supply of items if needed. We were looking for a house on torch but also central to the below listed locations we also wanted to visit during our stay and this was perfect for us. This house is located: - across the street from torch lake sandbar, a 2 minute walk to public access point to enter the water - 1 mile or so from a boat launch area on the sandbar -1 hr and 8 minutes from sleeping bear dune climb (Glen arbor is also right “next to” (1-3 miles down the road ) the sand dune climb which has the most gorgeous water and a beach near a historic little cluster of buildings ) -35 minutes from traverse city (gorgeous walk along the water) -1 hr and 33 minutes from Mackinac island -3 minute drive from village market (very well stocked) -18 minutes from meijer - 20 minutes from King’s Orchard Stand (in sept we bought gorgeous pumpkins that were picked by my kids right from the patch, we also picked raspberries that were beautiful) -20 minutes from a U-Pick flowers stand (we made a lovely bouquet and our kids loved that just as much as we did. Anja is incredibly responsive and helpful, she and her husband went above and beyond to make our first ever visit to Michigan & Torch Lake an unforgettable one. She told us where we could rent kayaks, which is very close to the house (about 15 minute drive from the house). We hope to return again to beautiful Torch lake if you haven’t ever visited you MUST, you won’t regret your choice!

AMAZING!
We had a phenomenal time at Torch lake ! We def will be back , but a little earlier in the summer . The location was perfect. Anja had some toys and things set out for my 1 year old . The welcome note and s’mores were such a cute touch . The property offered walking distance to the lake , an amazing fire pit, grill and a garage we were able to store kayaks in. Thank you Anja for being so accommodating ! We hope to be back next year and catch up with you guys !

Christian and Anja are great. Super easy and relaxing. Great location across the road from the beach and direct access to all the trails in the woods. The house has all the space we needed for 3 adults and 2 kids. Fire pit out back was very pleasant. They provide everything you need!

Nice property!
It was close to Traverse City, Lake Michigan, Petoskey and Charlevoix! It’s a short walk down the street in either direction to the sand bar so that was nice! The fire pit was awesome! They supplied all the wood you could possibly need and we enjoyed it every night we were there! Overall a great experience!

Good vacation
The house was perfect. Everything there needed. A lot of thought put into this house to make a perfect vacation. Nice surprise to have s’mores stuff on the counter waiting for our arrival. The basement with the ping pong table and giant connect four was perfect for a rainy afternoon. The back yard with the fire ring and endless wood and the nature trails were great. 2 close public beach/water access were nice. The boat launch in Alden worked out perfect for some lake time on beautiful Torch lake. Could go on and on. One of the beat vacations. Would definitely go back!
