A MAXIMUM of 2 boats/trailers can be parked at the property as well as a MAXIMUM of 3 vehicles at anytime. Tents and campers aren’t allowed at the cottage. Inboard motors are not recommended because the short canal To Clam Lake is weedy. The canal near the dock is shallow and most boats 24’ or less can use the covered boathouse in front of the cottage. A public access for boats is 3 miles from the cottage. You can use the 2 canoes, 3 kayaks and 6 life jackets (3adult/3 child) provided to go across the river and walk the Grass River Natural Area and enjoy the summer activities.

In fact I don’t think the pictures do it justice. It’s cozy, clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything that we needed. The location is great. We hiked and biked the local trails and kayaked the Grass river right from the house. We only had 5 in our group and had more than enough space. It could comfortably accommodate the 8 that it lists. The property manager was extremely helpful. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Joy E. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David J.

Home is clean, spacious kitchen / living room area and big rec area down stairs. Beautiful yard w/ a hammock - nice yard to play cornhole or have a campfire and enjoy sunsets. Covered boat slip was a real bonus for your 24' pontoon with some off and on rain. Property description was right on and property manager was very responsive to any questions. Great Torch vacation!

This property is one of the best places we have ever stayed, and this was our 3rd time back! The cabin itself is well maintained and meticulously clean. It had everything we need, including coffee! There is a telescope in the Sun porch for viewing bald eagles and other wildlife, there is a ton of space in the walk out basement for our young adult kids to play games and hang out after spending a day on the water. We kayaked and canoed every day. The owners and property manager are very responsive and helpful. The location is simply amazing, with loons, swans, herons, cranes, and song birds all around. It’s an easy drive into Bellaire or Alden for groceries, cute shops and a few restaurants, but I like to spend my time taking in the view from the dock and rarely leave this gorgeous place! ##### Melissa Z.

Kristi Poel was WONDERFUL. One of my best vacations in ever. Highlights of our stay was the cottage location on Grass River. beautiful scenery, boat dock with canoe, kayaks, fire pit, outdoor grill, etc. Spectacular wildlife scenes….we saw nesting loons, a Merganser with ducklings, Trumpeter swans with young, rabbits with babies, A sandhill crane with babies, snapping turtles laying eggs nightly just feet from our cottage door! I could go on. Loved the accommodations inside and cottage layout. Very comfortable. Our only problem was there was so much to do and fun to be had, we just didn’t have enough time there 😁. We were all sad to leave. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica T.

Hands down, 100% satisfied with our stay. We had a fantastic time at this house! Brought our boat (18 foot), pretty easy to get in and out of the covered dock. A list of our highlights ! -clean ! This is a must for us and this place exceeded our expectations - stocked with what we needed - roomy, lots of space inside and out Including plenty of outdoor seating - use of kayaks and canoe, enjoyed kayaking in the mornings, including you can go across the River to the nature preserve - quiet, peaceful - lots of wildlife! We saw snapping turtles, loons, otters, Deer, Swans, herons and many other types of birds - location worked well for us, short trip to torch‘s beautiful water, tubed a lot on clam Lake since it was A little warmer, plus down the grass river for a sunset cruise - s’mores in the fire pit to end the day - dryer was a huge plus.....mainly as we had lots of wet beach towels FYI -Can’t swim off the dock (weeds, mushy), but this had so many other pluses (And we had a boat), it did not matter. ##### Jessica T.

There was room for everyone and the basement space was perfect for evening game nights and it's so cozy. It was a little warm sleeping with only one window air conditioner for the place and we had to sleep with our doors open, but overall we would stay there again with no problem! ##### Andrea W.

We loved all of this house. ##### Crystal M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa Z.

My husband and I, plus our 2 young adult kids and 3 of their friends, had plenty of space to sleep. 2 bathrooms plus laundry is so helpful for a crew of our size. The house is on the most tranquil, gorgeous spot, and the boat slip was just right for our 21 foot boat. We grilled out, had bonfires, kayaked and canoed every day! This was our second year at the house, and we all hope to make it an annual tradition! The house is immaculate, and the hosts are fantastic! ##### Melissa Z.

The house was clean and well supplied for towels, bedding, kitchen items. The extra bathroom was great to have. The spot is perfect. We could dock a 16 ft bass boat and 20 ft pontoon. The property manager is accessible at all times for anything and will give you tips about the area. You can enjoy the best of both worlds of quiet, beautiful mother nature and fishing. Or take a boat ride to the famous Torch Lake Sandbar and enjoy the fun atmosphere! Five lakes are connected by awesome rivers. You can boat to nearby towns and enjoy them for the day. Definitely will go again! A cool treasure of Michigan! ##### LYNN L.
