NEW -YEAR ROUND-LOG HOME ON CLAM LAKE - connecting to Torch Lake

THE CLAM SHELL LOG HOME - (new on our rental program)

This log home is the perfect up north getaway. Enjoy Northern Michigan at it's finest.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on the Northeast side of Clam Lake. Clam Lake directly connects into Torch Lake and also Lake Bellaire, through Grass river.
This fine home has a great open floor plan and beautiful lake views. There are 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 baths, lower level TV watching area, modern kitchen & best of all an outdoor hot tub on the lower level patio. What a great place to spend your summer vacation, a winter ski weekend or just a few days to get away and chill out. Close to the hip small town of Bellaire & Short's Brewery. Just outside of Bellaire are the biking & hiking trails of Glacial Hills Natural Area. Also just a short drive for world class golfing & snow skiing at Shanty Creek & Schuss Mountain. Don't forget about the quaint town of nearby Alden on Torch Lake & the many local wineries. The location of this home is also ideal for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leland, Northport, Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Mackinac Island, all within an hour or two drive.

We require our renters to be 25 years of age or older.
NO SMOKING/VAPING & NO PETS
Water at end of Dock is 3 feet deep. Pontoon boat would be fine. Not deep enough for speed boats

CABIN RETREAT
House was as advertised. Loved sitting on deck to watch the swans in the morning. Great having a grill and two kayaks on property. Kitchen was well stocked, great kitchen table to play games at. The only thing that I might say was a downside was the upstairs bedroom with the queen and bunks did not have a door (as pictured).

Cabin on the lake with the family
Cabin was clean, no bugs which is a must! Yard work was in progress, would have been nice if more yard was available for activities. The grill was too dirty to use which was sad 😢. Had a blast using the kayaks. Daily visits from the swan, beautiful! Would stay again. The area was very nice, not too secluded but not too busy either.

Beautiful Weekend
We had a group of people come up to this property to enjoy it for a weekend, and we had the best time. Nice dock and kayaks for fishing, with good protection from the wind tucked back in the trees. Overall a perfect spot for a weekend up North.

Cabin was very clean and well kept. Very peaceful setting. Was nice to have the dock since we rented a boat for the week. We had a peaceful, relaxing week. To enjoy a little more it be nice if ground between cabin and lake could be opened up a little and water around dock area. A new gas grill would be nice also. Overall I would recommend this place and we had a great time

My family + my sisters family really enjoyed our stay. The young kids loved the "bunk room" while the teen loved the basement. The adults loved that the kids occupied themselves with fishing and playing. ;)

Clam Lake
Great property and location! If you want to fish on Clam, no problem! If you want to zip up to Dockside and Torch Lake, you can do that too. If you want to cruise the Grass Lake and watch the sunset coming back, it's perfect! Super dreamy location with comfortable living arrangements. The wrap around deck is perfect for morning coffee and watching the wildlife wake up. You may even see the bald eagle!

Beautiful Property with Great Location
Stayed here memorial weekend with a group of friends - the house and view is gorgeous. Even better than the photos. The house is spacious and had everything we needed. The kayaks were awesome! The water was just a little too cold to swim in since it was still May, but we enjoyed our time on the dock and in the kayaks. The hot tub and fire pit were amazing too. The host is very responsive, I reached out to her several times and always received a quick reply. It is very close to the downtown Bellaire area, just over 10 minute drive. The beds were very comfy as well! Would definitely stay here again.

Friends weekend getaway
A group of friends and I stayed at this property and I cannot say enough good things! It was extremely clean. The cabin had a very nice cedar/oak smell, and the owners thought of everything you may need while staying here (shampoo conditioner, plenty of towels, little makeup wipes,etc.). The cabin was gorgeous with an amazing view. The fire pit, kayaks, and hottub were a very nice touch! We made breakfast in the kitchen one morning and it is a beautiful kitchen to work it. The beds were AMAZING. With a memory foam topper, I think this is the best I’ve slept in years! Overall, one of my favorite VRBO restaurants Experiences.

Great place by the lake
The home was beautiful and the management team was great to work with! We stayed over NYE weekend so we didn’t get to use the lake but the view was awesome. The location was close to downtown if you want to explore. If not, the home is spacious enough for family games and quality time. Great stay!

Beautiful home in a beautiful area
We had a wonderful stay. Online photos and listing are very accurate as to what to expect. Beautiful lake view. We did have an issue on check in, we were sent the wrong code, and there was a bit of panic in the moment as we couldn’t get a hold of the property manager for a bit. About 15 minutes later we finally got a hold of someone who was able to provide the correct code after several incorrect attempts. The shower upstairs is extremely slippery. The worst I’ve ever seen. I took a shower before my wife and almost fell multiple times. I then warned my wife about it before she got in and not 3 minutes later I heard a loud bang and she had slipped and fallen. Couple nasty bruises. They really need to put something down to create friction. Be very careful if showering upstairs. There were a couple other minor things, the kitchen utensils and pans on hand aren’t the best. Definitely could use some new equipment and a bit more. Beds could also use an upgrade. Pillows were pretty bad and the mattresses have definitely seen some use. All that said, if you can get passed these few issues, it really is a nice spot with a great set up for a family get a way. Hot tub with the lake view is the real star here.
