1 Bedroom Cottage in Rapid City

Our cozy family cottage has 100' of private waterfront on beautiful Torch Lake. The cottage has housed our family visits to Torch Lake for generations, and we'd like to share our little escape with others. Torch Lake is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world and with one look into the crystal clear blue water you'll see why. We are fortunate to have a very gradual increase in depth for several hundred feet out into the water, creating a striking sight where the drop-offs signal the deeper blue depths of Torch. We have a dock that extends almost 90' out to the lake, with a 12'x12' platform at the end for enjoying some time in the sun. At the end of the dock it's not even 3' deep! Just down the road is the Torch River Bridge, near the famous Torch Lake Sandbar and Torch River. Just across the lake is the town of Alden.
In 2009 we made significant renovations, completely modernizing the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas (but taking care to retain the old cottage look and feel). In the years since we have added a clothes dryer and mooring anchor, and rebuilt the stone wall on the lakeshore and added sand to our small beach area out front.
Boating Information: Torch Lake is a great place to water-ski, go tubing, and do all sorts of other water sports. We have a 90' long dock that can be used to access boats, although the water is still shallow at the end! Public accesses are close by. We have a mooring anchor that can be used, and local nearby marinas also offer overnight slip and trailered storage options that our guests have used.
Golf Information: There are a number of top golf courses in the area, including designs by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player. Some of the more popular locations include Shanty Creek Resorts with 'The Legend', designed by Arnold Palmer, as well as 3 other courses and Grand Traverse Resort & Spa with 'The Bear' by Jack Nicklaus and 'The Wolverine' by Gary Player.
Area Festivals: Elk Rapids Harbor Days --- Traverse City Cherry Festival --- Alden Days --- Interlochen Summer Arts Festival --- Petoskey Festival on the Bay --- Suttons Bay Art Festival --- Northport-Leelanau Peninsula Wine And Food Festival --- Suttons Bay Jazzfest --- Charlevoix Venetian Festival --- just to name a few!!
Note: Any reservation request will require a signed rental agreement before booking is considered final.
The local township has severely restricted short-term rentals. Only a limited number of short-term rental weeks are available.

Summary: A wonderfully located, super private, classic cottage with a wonderful deck, dock and fire pit. This was our second stay and it was just as we remembered. My son’s friend brought his boat and the kids enjoyed time on the sandbar while the adults enjoyed the shady deck and swimming off the dock. A great summer getaway for our family.

Summary: We had a lovely time at the cottage. The lake is beautiful! We enjoyed coffee every morning on the deck and a glass of wine every evening on the dock. There was plenty of very nice and dry firewood for a fire every evening. For our first “post Covid” vacation it was exactly what we needed. The only negative was it was fruit fly season and they were out in abundance even with keeping everything washed down and food locked up but the view of the lake could make you forget all that. Thanks Brett for a great vacation! Can’t wait to come back to Torch Lake.

Summary: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was absolutely perfect. We had everything we could have possibly needed. This was our first time visiting Torch Lake. But, we are already looking forward to our next visit and hope to stay at this same cottage. The views were breathtaking. The sound of the water was relaxing. It is truly a little piece of paradise.

Summary: The pictures do not do it justice. The interior is classic cottage with amber wood all around.Wake in the morning to the sunrise through the window and have breakfast with the waves lapping on the shore. Just sound of the water hitting the sand and rocks for days was hypnotic and the incredible peace and quiet was worth every penny.We had a Doe and 2 fawns bedding behind the cabin who were there for our entire stay.Loons , Ducks , Geese as well. Great running roads with very low traffic and great Kayaking in crystal clear waters.Do not hesitate to book this cabin and Fields the care taker was super and even mailed us some left behind articles.We did not want to leave , you wont either.

Summary: My husband and I really enjoyed our week stay at Brett’s family cabin. The accommodations were perfect for the two of us. It was exactly what we wanted.... a quiet and peaceful setting with breathtaking views of Torch Lake. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunset colors that casted shades of pink, purple and blue over the water. The stars were amazing at night and the bonfire pit was put to use every night. Brett provided firewood for the week which made things very convenient. We had to work for a portion of our stay. The WiFi was great and strong enough to work from the deck and dock. Can’t beat that office location!! Highly recommend this property if you are looking for a ‘rustic cabin on the lake experience’ with breathtaking views and all of the amenities you need to be comfortable. Thank you Brett and the property management team!!
