Book any two nights during these date windows, excluding holidays, and you can stay a third night for free! Submit your reservation request and we will adjust the rate to reflect the 3rd free night. The cottage is on Clam Lake, between Torch Lake and Lake Bellaire on the Elk River Chain of Lakes, with quick and easy access by boat or by land to Torch Lake and the rest of the Chain of Lakes. Dockside bar and restaurant and the adjacent public beach on Torch Lake are a ten minute walk or boat ride from the cottage, and Torch Lake sandbar is also a short boat ride away. The golf courses and ski slopes at Shanty Creek and Schuss Mountain, and also the restaurants and shops of Bellaire and Alden are all within 15 minutes’ drive. Day trips to all of the beautiful northern Michigan towns are all around you, including Traverse City (30 miles), Charlevoix (30 miles), Petoskey (45 miles), Sleeping Bear Dunes (55 miles) and more. The long slender shape of Clam Lake, with its calm and warmer water, is ideal for boating and water sports. Bring your boat or rent one from one of four rental locations on Clam Lake and tie up to our permanent dock. The public boat ramp on Clam Lake is five minutes (1.5 miles) away. Enjoy fun and safe swimming and fishing right off the dock, which is situated at the start of the Clam River no-wake zone. Grass River is less than ten minutes by boat for superb fishing, and nature lovers will really enjoy the walking trails of the Grass River Natural Area, accessible by boat or car. An ideal half-day for a paddler is launching from Bellaire and paddling 8.5 miles down Intermediate River, across Lake Bellaire, through Grass River, and across Clam Lake back to the cottage. Or continue on the last half mile to Torch Lake and Dockside bar and restaurant for drinks and a great meal. The small public beach adjacent to Dockside is a great place to pull your kayak or canoe out if you continue past the cottage. Mountain biking, hiking, running, cross-country skiing, and sledding are 15 minutes away at Glacial Hills, or explore northern Michigan wine tasting - Torch Lake Cellars winery is 5 minutes from the cottage. One of the best parts of the cottage is the deck above the boat house over-looking Clam Lake. The deck is perfect for outdoor meals, watching the boats, kayaks, and swans float by, and taking in sunsets over the marina and Clam River bridge. The cottage has a large living room and kitchen and two full bathrooms to accommodate groups. It sleeps 8 comfortably with 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, and 3 twins. The main bedroom has 1 queen bed, sleeping 2. The second bedroom that faces the lake has 1 queen bed, 1 full bed, and 2 twin loft beds, sleeping 5 or 6. There is also a bed with a twin mattress in the living room for additional sleeping. If the size of your group is slightly larger than 8, we can discuss options. The large living room is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings around the fireplace. With cathedral ceilings, a 65” wifi-enabled HDTV to watch your favorite sports and movies, and plenty of comfortable seating on two couches, two arm chairs, and several director’s chairs that can be moved around as needed, your family and friends will have plenty of space to enjoy a memorable and relaxing vacation. We gave the living room and second bedroom fresh paint and updated the furniture in the living room and second bedroom to give the cottage a fresh new look. The garage and driveway can hold up to 4 vehicles or 3 vehicles plus your boat trailer. Outdoor (ONLY) Security: There are 2 outdoor ONLY security cameras. Front exterior of the home. Back exterior of the home. We have worked hard to create a home that is welcoming and comfortable for our guests, and we hope you’ll love the memories you make staying at the Cottage on Clam Lake as much as we do. ## Property amenities ### Internet -

Conveniently located with easy access to many lakes and small towns for exploring. Back patio and deck are wonderful to sit outside and watch the water. The house has been nicely updated with the bedrooms, bathrooms and living room. The kitchen is nice and big with a table that can sit up to 8 people but could use some updating with appliances. I'm sure this is where the owners will be focusing next based upon the other updates in the house. ##### Meghan B. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara M.

The location was ideal for us: We stayed here to ski at nearby Schuss Mtn/Shanty Creek. We also went to the water park at Boyne (40 min drive). And of course we love going to Short’s whenever we are in this area. The house itself was just as pictured in the VRBO listing. Plenty of room for our family to hang out, and many nice touches throughout the home. I would think that it would also be a great spot for summer vacations, since it is right on what looks like a nice lake and very close to Torch Lake as well. They host was excellent with communication. I had a few quick questions, and the responses came very quickly. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Sara M.

Three nights was simply not enough! The cottage was amazing. Cute and cozy! Private dock was great. LOCATION was perfect…super easy access to Torch Lake, but the calm waters of Clam Lake was ideal. It was also warmer at the house and on Clam Lake. Temps seemed to drop about 5-10 degrees when we went out on the big lake. The bunk room with the loft beds was a huge hit for our little girl and our niece! The views of the lake from the home were picture perfect and the deck on top of the boat house was a great spot for coffee with the sunrise and watching sunsets. We got to meet the owners of the properties on both sides during our visit. Such friendly/helpful neighbors. Heidi even helped us repair something on our boat motor so we wouldn’t miss out on the full lake experience! Natalie was always super responsive! And we loved the “artwork” that all the previous guests have done on the walls in the garage with sidewalk chalk. So fun and creative! We will definitely be saving this property on our list for return visits! ##### Erin B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark P.
