10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Great location just off of Torch Lake. You can enjoy Clam Lake or boat into the larger Torch Lake. both lakes are incredibly clear and clean.Hot tub is a nice amenity. We also loved sitting on the back deck. Kitchen, dining and living area is great for a group of 6-8. Mgmt is very responsive!12 minute drive into Aldin to the south or Bellaire to the north. Both great for grocery, morning coffee, dining or gas.There is a boat-up bar, Dockside Grill right where Clam meets Torch. Great for lunch, dinner or a drink!We saw lots of wildlife, deer, birds, racoons. It was fun!Clam Lake boat launch is a 3 minute boat ride to the cabin dock and 5 minute ride by car. There is a good amount of parking for cars and trailers .The trip is about 3.5 hours up I75 from the Detroit metro.

We stayed at the property for a end of summer boating trip and the place was super clean there was plenty of parking in the driveway comfortable accomodations.it was super nice.I was disapointed that the boat dock was taken out before we arrived but i learned a lesson on that and it will not deter me fron staying again at all.this was the best vacation rental i have been to.highly reccomend to anyone
