Charming Lakefront Cottage on Torch Lake – walking distance to AldenMy grandmother’s brother built this cottage in 1910 – and he got a prime lakefront location. Now with updated bathrooms and refinished wood floors the interior provides up-north cottage charm alongside all the modern amenities.Everyone’s favorite place to spend time indoors seems to be the screened-in porch which opens to the lake and shoreline on 3 sides. Here you can settle down in a comfy chair to enjoy Torch’s famous “Caribbean blue” stripes chase across the lake, or sip an evening glass of wine and watch the sunset pour molten light into the water.The large living room with its central stone hearth is a great spot to gather around a fire on a cooler evening or around the TV on a rainy day. Bedrooms are cozy and simple, with 2 queens, 1 set of twins, and 1 double-single bunk and classic cottage antiques. The property features a dock, a firepit by the lake, a lakeside patio with chairs and an umbrella table, and another patio with a grill off the kitchen.This is not a party spot, but it would be great for families or groups of adults seeking a relaxing getaway. Nestled in among majestic trees and private cottages, the location offers privacy and quiet. Sandy shallows extend for dozens of yards off the rocky shoreline; we also have a dock a mooring buoy for your motorboat or pontoon boat. (Jet-skis are not allowed.)The charming town of Alden, with boutiques, dining, and public tennis courts and playground, is a 1/2-mile walk away. Nature preserves and well-maintained roads throughout the area also provide beautiful hiking and biking.Note that we also own the cottage next door (VRBO #37825, built by my grandmother). You could consider that cottage if this one is already booked or, if you have a very large group, consider combining the rentals – a “family compound” that could accommodate up to 20 people.
