Fun family time

This home is beautiful and has lots of extras to help make the stay easier (spices, baggies, toiletries, throw blankets, games, etc). The view of the lake and swan family is fantastic - especially with a cup of coffee from the screened in porch. Beds were very comfortable and space was as described. Would recommend!

Family Time on the Lake

Clam Haven is a beautiful home inside and out to gather as a family to spend time together, enjoy nature and find a spot to slip away and spend time alone. The layout of the house was perfect for 8 adults and one baby. We will choose it again when coming to this slice of beauty in Michigan. Host is very responsive and hospitable. Thank you!

Great Friend Réunion Location

Met here with a group of adult friends and everyone loved the house and location. Private and scenic Clam Lake was a great hideaway from the business of Torch Lake, but it is a short boat ride to get to Torch or Bellaire. The use of the dock was wonderful and allowed a lot of flexibility throughout the day for different schedules and changing weather. We are highly likely to book again. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Perfect for our Family

This is a fantastic property with plenty of room both indoors and outdoors. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We rented a boat from Butch’s Marina and it was just a short drive from the property and easy access to Torch lake. We’d definitely stay here again.

Overall, everything was good. The fan over the bed in the master bedroom makes a lot of noise at higher setting. The fan in the master toilet is really loud and should be replaced. Otherwise, communication was excellent with the homeowner.

A lovely stay with gorgeous views of the lake

We had a great time at the property this year. Everything from making s'mores in the fire pit, to grilling and dining in the eat-in-kitchen or on the deck, and the fun times relaxing in the living room with the gorgeous views of the lake created lasting memories for the family. Shelly is responsive and very nice. The house is roomy and comfortable and we hope to return again!

Nice Lake House w/Beautiful Views!

The home is as advertised... Very nice, clean and accommodating. Newly renovated w/great views of the lake and mountains...very picturesque! I didn't have a large party but it could have easily slept more. As a bonus: The owner Shelly was a pleasure to work with. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Best view on Clam Lake

We had the best time on our annual family summer vacation. The accommodations were perfect for our family with 4 teenagers. We did bring our pontoon and were able to enjoy both Lake Bellaire (35 min river ride) and the Torch Lake Sandbar (50 min ride). Cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!

Family Fun

This was our second stay at this amazing house and peaceful property! We love it! Shelly is an amazing host! The house is so spacious! We love the pool table, fire pit, kayaks and of course watching the wildlife with beautiful Clam Lake in the backyard! Torch Lake Sandbar is a short 20 minute pontoon ride away! We can wait to come again!

Great vacation home!

Our family, six adults and five kids, all agreed that our vacation on Clam Lake was one of the best! The house worked out perfect for our yearly gathering. The home is well maintained and has plenty of room to relax after a day of boating and kayaking. The kids loved the pool table and made use of the fire pit every night. We all enjoyed sitting around the fire and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The older boys caught fish everyday and we're thrilled that they could fish off the dock. We highly recommend renting this home!
