About this property
Lovely 3-br home on east side of crystal-clear Torch Lake
Enjoy beautiful sunsets over Torch Lake from this 3 bedroom, 2 full-bath, ranch-style home. Easy walking distance along a quiet, dead-end street into quaint village of Alden. Boasting 140' of lake front access and spacious living, dining, and kitchen with open floor plan - this home is great for family fun. Well-appointed kitchen features electric stove, dishwasher and usual appliances (e.g., blender, coffee maker, etc.) plus washer/dryer. Stone patio faces the lake. Attached one and half car garage with automatic door-opener has room for car and gear. Short dock gives easy access to lake.
Landscaping is attractive and yard offers plenty of space for picnics, games, sun-bathing, etc. Off-shore/short dock mooring of small boats is available but over-night not encouraged because of the size of the lake. Larger power boats can be launched from conveniently located town dock. Friendly and helpful owners live across the road and reserve the dock and yard area adjacent to the rental home for personal use. Neighbors are considerate. Renters will enjoy the relaxed setting.
Bring gear for lots of nearby activities: hiking, biking, fishing, water sports (boat parking available), golfing - just to name a few. Located near Torch River and DeWitt Marina, Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Boyne or the Leelanau Peninsula-- all are just a short drive away. Day-trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes are easy too.
Details: Master bedroom has queen bed; Bedroom 1 has queen; Bedroom 2 has set of twin beds. and a double. New mattresses/boxed springs purchased for all but the master bedroom (which was replaced earlier) in 2019. Pillows new in 2020. Living room pull-out-sofa provides additional sleeping room. Dining table seats eight. Screened-in porch has dinning for 6. Linen and towels included. Rooms are carpeted with the exception of the kitchen, dining area and porch. Cable TV, WiFi, and garbage pick-up included.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dorothy Clore
This property has been in our family for three generations, beginning as a cottage in the l930's, then established as a year-round residence for my parents, now owned jointly by my brother and myself. Please note: this property is occasionally offered on Craig's List. That listing is ALWAYS a scam. It has been flagged as a warning and reported to CL as a scam, but it keeps resurfacing.
Why they chose this property
This is an ideal place for a summer vacation. The lake is one of the most beautiful in the country, clear and very clean. The house is partially carpeted and all on one level (except for one step from the garage and then another into the porch) so that people of all ages can enjoy living comfortably.
What makes this property unique
This property has always been a source of great delight and pride for our family and friends. We look forward to sharing that with others.
