Perfect for our Family

This is a fantastic property with plenty of room both indoors and outdoors. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We rented a boat from Butch’s Marina and it was just a short drive from the property and easy access to Torch lake. We’d definitely stay here again.

A lovely stay with gorgeous views of the lake

We had a great time at the property this year. Everything from making s'mores in the fire pit, to grilling and dining in the eat-in-kitchen or on the deck, and the fun times relaxing in the living room with the gorgeous views of the lake created lasting memories for the family. Shelly is responsive and very nice. The house is roomy and comfortable and we hope to return again!

Nice Lake House w/Beautiful Views!

The home is as advertised... Very nice, clean and accommodating. Newly renovated w/great views of the lake and mountains...very picturesque! I didn't have a large party but it could have easily slept more. As a bonus: The owner Shelly was a pleasure to work with. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Best view on Clam Lake

We had the best time on our annual family summer vacation. The accommodations were perfect for our family with 4 teenagers. We did bring our pontoon and were able to enjoy both Lake Bellaire (35 min river ride) and the Torch Lake Sandbar (50 min ride). Cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!

Family Fun

This was our second stay at this amazing house and peaceful property! We love it! Shelly is an amazing host! The house is so spacious! We love the pool table, fire pit, kayaks and of course watching the wildlife with beautiful Clam Lake in the backyard! Torch Lake Sandbar is a short 20 minute pontoon ride away! We can wait to come again!

Great vacation home!

Our family, six adults and five kids, all agreed that our vacation on Clam Lake was one of the best! The house worked out perfect for our yearly gathering. The home is well maintained and has plenty of room to relax after a day of boating and kayaking. The kids loved the pool table and made use of the fire pit every night. We all enjoyed sitting around the fire and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The older boys caught fish everyday and we're thrilled that they could fish off the dock. We highly recommend renting this home!

Beautiful View

We loved our time in Michigan. We had a beautiful view of Clam Lake. We rented a pontoon boat from DeWitt's which was close by and enjoyed two days on the Torch Lake sandbar. It was by far the nicest lake we had ever seen, crystal clear. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and was an easy drive to get to it. It had a great place to have a campfire and it was an easy walk down to the dock. The kitchen was very nice. The house is close to Bellaire and also Alden which were two very quaint towns with nice shops and restaurants. I would suggest that you provide an extra propane tank for the gas grill. Also, let renters know they need to bring life jackets if they want to use the kayaks. There were several games provided which was nice. We enjoyed our time together, and will have many great memories. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Wonderful home & property

Family & friends stayed together here to celebrate 2 birthdays. We enjoyed boating on Torch, Clam, & Lake Bellaire. Loved the convenience of having our boat right here on the dock. Got to go out at night to see the Northern Lights! Lots of room in the house & plenty of ame items we enjoyed. Cooked most meals at the home & enjoyed the nice big kitchen & deck. We noticed that the home has been updated more since the listing photos. Comfortable beds & furniture. We loved it!

Amazing 3 day boat trip the Antrim chain of Lakes

It was myself and my wife, our 6 year old son and 1 year old daughter, my mother and another couple. It was both of the couple’s anniversary, and one of our birthdays. So plenty to celebrate! The house was top notch. It had everything we needed and plenty of room! The first day was rainy so we didn’t get on the boat until the evening, but it’s one of those houses you perfectly content hanging out at. Everything was very clean. Great location. Great dock to tie our 25’ pontoon up to. Shelly was great to communicate with. Great memories were made. We look foward to renting this place again !
