Alden Sunset Cabin

Located in the in the quaint little village of Alden, pristinely nestled on the sunset shore of Torch Lake, Alden Sunset Cabin is located within a stones throw of beautiful Torch Lake. While not located on the lake, you will be so close that on a quiet night you may be can hear the waves lap against the shore or the loons sing to each other as the sun sets. Enjoy a camp fire in your own fire pit, hang out on your patio while grilling dinner on your own Weber grill or just relax in the totally renovated log cabin with all the modern amenities and comforts of home. The Alden Sunset Cabin provides parking for 2 vehicles and additional space for a boat trailer on the property. The cabin offers your family (4 people or less - Absolutely no more than 4) the perfect setting to explore the wonderful world of Torch Lake and Alden.

If you need a 2nd Cabin please check out our other cabin - Alden Sunrise Cabin (VRBO # 738941) which is located directly next door. Alden Sunrise Cabin is virtually identical to Alden Sunset Cabin with the exception that Alden Sunrise Cabin is slightly smaller and is an efficiency.

Why would anyone stay in a hotel??

Walk to Alden or Public Beaches or Accesses

The Alden Sunset Cabin is located within a ¼ mile of four public beaches (lake accesses) located along Lake Street which is easily accessed by way of a short trail through the woods on our property. The public beaches are open during the day for your enjoyment and provide a wonderful setting for your family to enjoy the beautiful water of Torch Lake. The public beaches (lake accesses) DO NOT allow overnight mooring of your boat or water craft and are closed at night.

Alden Sunset Cabin is a short 1/4 mile walk as well from downtown Alden – a charming small town with a spirit you have to experience to believe. Alden is known for its flower-lined streets where everyone you meet offers a friendly greeting. Alden has several places to eat and Lakeview Ice Cream Shop has the best, biggest, ice cream cones you could ever eat. The town has cute boutique stores, a deli, family bar, tennis and basketball courts, and a park with a playground. Just at the end of the street is the public boat launch, library and community center. The popular Dockside restaurant is just 10 minutes away by boat or car. Torch Lake’s famous sandbar is also a short boat ride away at the southern end of the lake.

Comfortable Family Cottage

Alden Sunset Cabin is fully furnished and provides central air conditioning for those extra hot summer nights as well as Flat Screen Cable TV and Wi-Fi. We supply all linens, pillows, towels, paper products and soap products. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishes and all pots and pans as well as a dining table which seats four. We provide a queen sized, pillow top bed along with a pull out couch that converts to a queen size bed. The patio provides a Weber Grill along with an outside table and seating for four. We also provide several comfortable chairs for your relaxation. You can’t go “up north” without enjoying a camp fire and the cabin has its own fire pit along with 4 chairs for everyone’s comfort.

Alden Sunset Cabin is located within the village of Alden on SE Torch Lake Drive and has access to Lake Street which is a very quiet street via a wooded trail west of the cabin. We encourage you to utilize this trail for walks and bike rides. Alden Sunset Cabin has a maximum occupancy of 4 people (strictly adhered to).

Disclaimer: Please remember, this cabin has been designed and is intended for families or couples and is ideally suited for people looking to build life long memories.

Alden Sunset Cabin is DEFINETLY NOT a party cabin. If you’re looking for a party cottage – please look elsewhere.

My family has lived on this street for over 50 years and we have made life long friends. We respect their right for quiet enjoyment of beautiful Torch Lake and we ask that you do the same. Our summer home is located directly adjacent to the Alden Sunset Cabin.

We look forward to seeing you soon!!

Great location!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Sunset Cabin. It had everything that we needed and is within walking distance to Alden. There are also three public access points to the lake right off of Lake Street (accessible by taking the path behind the cabin). Paul is a wonderful host and is very responsive. I don't think we could have found a better place to stay.

Hidden Gem!

Upon arriving to our rental the owner emailed us the details and was very helpful to questions I had about the area. Once we arrived I felt right at home. Our little cottage/cabin was nice and clean and ready for us to enjoy. Although this was not on the lake you can see the lake and it’s a short little walk. Thank you so much for your hospitality and we will be sure to return !
