Torch Lake is truly a special place. The gradual, sandy beach entry and almost 200 feet of shoreline are the most amazing parts of Clamelot. The cottage is rustic but worked well for our family of five plus grandparents. We had an amazing eight nights at the cottage and wished we had booked it for longer. ##### Charles S.

The lake is awesome - so clean and clear - and we had great weather. There were a few stressful issues around the number of visitors we were allowed to host at the house and a concern about filling the septic system. We worked through the issues and had a great time. The owners are very protective of their home and it shows. ##### Geri G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl T. Sep 5, 2018 #### We had the best time in this wonderful place. The week was perfect! I had planned to venture out to more places around the state but there was not reason to leave Clamalot. Fires by the lake at night and lots of water fun during the day from the best location on the lake. It was an easy run up through Clam lake and green river or to rip down to the sand bar and enjoy the 'scene'. The house was perfect for family and friends to come and go during the week and the covered deck with two big picnic table were host to great dinners while enjoying the view. ##### Carl T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail E. Sep 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay at Torch The absolute best part of this property is the amazing beach area- one of the best we have had after years of going to Torch Lake. The beach was long and sandy and the owners had plenty of outdoor toys to use. The size of the beach also made it feel pretty private. We spent as much time as possible outside and really enjoyed the location. I thought Dockside might get loud, but we didn't really even notice it was there. Great for our small children who love building in the sand and splashing in the water. ##### Abigail E. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel K. Aug 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Torch Lake Treasure Property has about 200 feet of the best frontage on Torch Lake. Sand beach and a sand bottom with a gentle slope into the water, so would be great for young children. Vintage house that has been updated in the right way. Colleen and Tom are probably the best hosts you will ever find for a property. We had a great stay! The only negative is that all three upstairs bedrooms are connected, so plan for that. The positive is that there are plenty of individual beds, so works well for a large group where sharing beds doesn't work. Also the bedding and towels are high quality. If you can get over the connected bedrooms, you won't find a better property on Torch Lake. ##### Daniel K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alistair R. Aug 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Torch Lake - Lake Living Bliss! The Dream Cottage sits in a truly wonderful position on Torch Lake. It's adjacent to Dockside, Butch's Marina etc. and a short drive into Bellaire & Alden. The most spectacular feature is the close proximity to the lake and the 200 Ft. of private sand beach; this facilates easy access to the boat, swimming, reading in an Adirondeck with a glass of wine coupled with a breeze and over-arching tranqulity. Overall the Clamelot stay exeeded our expectations! The AM & sunset views were simply stunning. The owners Tom & Colleen were extremely responsive, helpful and charming... the house itself has everything you need for a fulfilling lake holiday. The kitchen is well appointed, the beds comfortable, showers good and dining room, lounge and grilling station all on-point for family dinners and movie-nights. We had 4 teens / young adults with us and they loved the whole Clamelot experience. We plan on returning next year! ##### Alistair R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kacey K. Aug 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Paradise! I'm not sure where to begin. Our experience staying at "Clamelot" on Torch Lake was amazing! Our family spent six funfilled days boating, kneeboarding, roasting s'mores over the campfire, watching the amazing sunset and playing outdoor games with our five children. In fact, not once did our kids ask to watch TV. They were so busy enjoying all of the water toys that they played in the water until the sun went down. I even somehow managed to read two books while laying in their amazing hammock beside the beach. "Clamelot" is such a special place and the owners went out of their way to be helpful and answer all of our questions and give us great advice on where to eat and explore . We can't thank them enough for letting us stay in their beautiful cottage. We were so sad to leave, but I have promised our kids that we will return again. ##### Kacey K.

This quaint cottage named Clamelot sits on the most beautiful sandy beach with turquoise water. We launched our boat at Butch's that is right next door to Dockside and then tied up to a mooring buoy in front of the cottage. We boated to the Torch Lake sandbar and also Clam River/Clam Lake. Our granddaughters (ages 4, 5 and 6) loved playing in the shallow water that got gradually deeper. We enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling, frisbee in the water and a water gun fight. We played croquet in the very large grass area. In the evening we enjoyed amazing sunsets and the girls searched the beach shoreline for toads. It was nice to be close enough to walk to Dockside for dinner one night. We visited the Muffin Tin in Alden for breakfast and went to Bellaire a few times to Shorts Brewery, Ruthie's Chicken & Dairy Twist for ice cream and a special anniversary dinner at Terrain Restaurant. The owners Colleen and Tom were very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We would love to visit Torch Lake again. ##### Debbie M.
