Enjoy hard sandy bottom lake, a private dock, fire pit, and grill—all just minutes from Alden and everything Torch Lake has to offer. A perfect blend of comfort and Up North charm, right on the water. The Space: Come on in and explore this lovely cottage! It's cozy and welcoming, ideal for relaxing. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has a queen bed and a bunk bed. Bedroom two has a double bed, and bedroom three has a single bed. The living area is open, with comfy seating and a TV. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a fridge, oven, microwave, and a drip coffee maker. Enjoy the patio or balcony with fresh air and views. There's a BBQ grill, a fire pit, a lakefront, a sandy beach, and a private dock. Guest Access: Guests have full access to the entire home and property except the garage. It is important to note that there is only room for TWO vehicles at this property. There is no room for trailers or additional vehicles. The Neighborhood: We are located on the south east end of Torch Lake. Minutes from the famous sand bar, the quaint town of Alden, only 20 minutes to Bellaire, and only 30 minutes to Traverse City. Other Things to Note: There is only room for two cars at any time. The end of the dock is shallow and may not be deep enough for a speed boat - depending on water levels. A pontoon will be fine! If you have a boat, you must not tie it on the dock. It must be tied to the mooring anchor. This is non-negotiable. No Smoking at any time and no pets allowed. No exceptions! Interaction with Guests: Check in is required at our office in Alden. Rental Agreement and Policies must be signed before receiving check in instructions. We are only a phone call away if there are any issues or questions during your stay! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94700000/94695600/94695543/8d8998c8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torch Lake Sandbar Escape Rapid City - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-19&endDate=2025-12-20&selected=94695543&PinnedHotelID=94695543&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34080000/34074200/34074197/72ce10a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sandy Beach Cottage on Torch Lake, in Alden Alden - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 60 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-19&endDate=2025-12-20&selected=34074197&PinnedHotelID=34074197&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68040000/68033700/68033639/5fdc8147.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torch Lake Sandbar Waterfront Home - with Dock!
