3 Bedroom House in Alden, Rapid City

This beautiful cottage is situated on an expansive private lot with sandy beach on the south side of Torch Lake. The unobstructed view from the house and deck look north across the crystal clear waters of the lake - ideal for viewing both the sunrise and sunset. The south side of the lake is shallow and has a beautiful sandy bottom, perfect for swimming and playing any time of the day or night. A gorgeous new dock includes a large platform for six to comfortably hang out or sunbathe. There's a hoist for a motor boat and a mooring anchor for other watercraft. This is one of the most stunning rental properties on Torch Lake. At night, see the Big Dipper and, when it’s super dark and clear, the Big Dipper.
The house has a large living space with ample seating and three bedrooms to comfortably sleep six. We offer modern amenities, updated, comfortable furnishings, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, dishwasher, washer and dryer, eat-in bar, and everything you need to feel at home.
