Monthly Rentals in Alden

I was incredibly happy with our stay here and felt right at home. This might sound silly, but I love that they leave all of their cleaning supplies there so I could clean and vacuum throughout the week. I also loved how there was a closet with hangers, empty dressers, and a clothes hamper. I didn't have to feel like I was living out of my suitcase. I loved the design of the house, especially the kitchen. It's what really set this home apart from others for me. We brought our own paddle boards but the water was still pretty cold, so we opted to use the kayaks Brandi provided instead. We so appreciated that and it was such a short drive to the water! I would definitely stay here again.

So lovely. So peaceful. So beautiful. It's hard to overstate how wonderful it is to have Torch Lake before you every morning and watch the sunset over the lake every evening. This house is all about the lake, so just walk thru the back entry and kitchen and step into the livingroom. The light off the lake comes in every window and the lake is *right* in front of you. You'd never be able to build a cabin so close to the lake in this day and age. It fills the whole frame. My husband and I stayed at Nan and Ian's the first week in October. The temp was still up in the high 70s and the lake definitely swimmable. We hiked at the nature preserves near Alden -- one walking distance from the cabin, drove 45 mins to Traverse City for a very special dinner, and spent a LOT of time sitting on the deck reading books and listening to the lake. I also want to say that the cabin was absolutely clean, had everything you'd need for any possible occasion, and enough beds for a large family.

This is our third year going to House on the Hill. We love it! It’s a very simple house, but clean and cozy. The view is amazing and this is definitely the house to go to for star gazing!

A quiet, charming tiny house. A nice area to escape from the hustle and bustle of town. The home is beautifully built and the hot tub is an added bonus.
