Lazy Dayz Cottage by Torch Lake - Kid Friendly

LAZY DAYZ - Weekly rental - Saturday to Saturday

This Cottage is a great get away spot not on the water but close enough to enjoy it on a daily basis.The beach is across the road and about 6 houses down. The house sleeps up to 8 people and has 2+ bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The fenced in yard and a swing set is a nice area for children to play. In addition this house will take pets with the homeowners permission. Great little place!!! Right across the street to Torch Lake public access so you can enjoy the lake for the entire time you're here. Bring your own boat or rent one there is a landing right up the road so everything is very easy to get to and doesn't take a lot of your time. Torch Lake is the third most beautiful lake in the world and with its 19 miles of blue green tropical water you will not run out of things to see and do whether on water or land.
Take some time to explore the quaint towns of Alden and Bellaire. The quaint town of Alden offers a tasting room for Vista Ridge Winery, a locally produced wine, ice cream at Higgins Store or the Lakeside Dip, dining at the Torch Lake Beer Company and excellent Muffins or light breakfast or lunch at the Muffin Tin. While in Alden check out the Alden Mill House for a large selection of Kitchen gadgets and fresh spices, and spice blends. Enjoy shopping in some of the unique shops Alden has to offer where we are sure you will find that great memento of your time on Torch Lake. Venture to Bellaire and check out the award winning Shorts Brewery, taste Meade at Bell Well Meadery or sip some locally distilled liquor at Mammoth Distillery. Bellaire also has some great restaurants and shops. Take a quick break and have a glass of wine at Hello Vino, the gals there are very friendly and helpful. There is so much to see and do here. Head north 1 1/2 hours and you can see the Mackinaw Bridge and drive across if you wish, or catch a ferry in Mackinaw City over to the Island for the day. Or just lay back relax and take it all in. Just a 40 minute drive into Traverse City. Always plenty to see or do. Or relax and do nothing at all! Whatever you decide to do while in the area one sure thing is you will be back.
So don't let this affordable home slip by. Make your plans today to save your spot in the sun and on the water's of Torch Lake. Hope to see you soon!!!!

Perfect for our family!!
This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 6. There was plenty of space. It is located in a really beautiful little spot, close to so many fun places. It is located close to some really pleasant accesses to Torch Lake as well. I loved the fact that the backyard was fenced in since we have young children. We would love to stay here again!!

Cute little cottage
PROS - This cottage is located maybe just 100 ft from the beach area. You just need to cross the street. The rooms are very functional & the kitchen is complete. The TVs worked well and had strong WiFi. We enjoyed both the enclosed front & back yards especially with our pet. While we were there, the pest people just fogged the yard for mosquitoes. So we didn’t get any mosquito bites. Thank you for that! CONS- To check in - you have to go to the property management office which is not fun when you have been driving hours. You need to bring your own towels & sheets - again, inconvenient when your vehicle is fully loaded. Would appreciate if the cottage had W/D as well. Check out was quite early 9 am.

Fun at the Lake
Fun location close to the little town of Alden. The house is well equipped with what one would need to cook in the kitchen. The kids and I had a great time getting to know the area and walking to nearby beach access points. We enjoyed having a fenced in backyard for the pooch, and a place to sit and have dinner with the family outside.

Fun up north
Was clean and more roomy than expected. The road was busy and the patio could have been cleaner. All in all it was a good place for our family.

Torch lake family vacation
The house was perfect for our family vacation with our dog. The fenced in yard was extremely helpful and the swing set was a big hit with my granddaughter. Paradise Properties was very responsive.

Great place
Was a cute and cozy, and very clean place we enjoyed our stay. Looked better in person than in the pictures was very surprised because it's usually the other way around. The only downside was not having a washer and dryer, but there was a laundromat not too far away. Otherwise, had all the amenities you need plus some owner did a great job on making you feel at home. Having the public access area to the water only a 2-minute walk away from the house was very convenient. Thanks for everything
