About this property
Elegant 1905 Home: Steps to Torch Lake & Dtwn
Whisk away to the serene blue waters of Torch Lake at this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in Alden. Built in 1905, this historic vacation rental treats your family or group to a seamless getaway, featuring the lakefront, eateries, and a winery all within walking distance. When you’re not out boating, go wine tasting, visit Traverse City, and ski at Schuss Mountain in the winter months. Then, return to the wraparound porch and grill out, or cozy up indoors with a movie by the fireplace.
