About this property
Sandy Bottoms Summary
Summary:
SANDY BOTTOMS COTTAGE AND APARTMENT. Completely remodeled! This high-end lake front cottage offers 4 large bedrooms, 2 baths, a huge open kitchen with attached living room, screened porch and large lakeside deck allowing for outdoor living at the lake! Nice sandy beach area on beautiful Torch Lake. The back apartment above the garage offers an additional large outdoor deck, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, living room and kitchen. Sleeps 14 max combined. Located on the south end of Torch Lake, this is the place to be. There is much to see and do in the surrounding areas. The town of Alden is just a short drive or Bellaire, Elk Rapids, or Traverse City. But really, once you get to the house, you most likely will not want to leave!!! Bring a boat or rent one here and spend your time out on Torch Lake and enjoy exploring the 19 miles of turquoise blue water. Or boat the many other connecting lakes .... and then, of course, you can just anchor at the Sand Bar and soak up some sun and enjoy the day. So many things to choose from, it's up to you which direction you want to go!! So, book this house now for a great summer vacation. We are looking for respectful renters that will respect the property as well as the nearby neighbors.
Other Things to Note:
NO SMOKING
Renters must be 25 years of age or older.
