    The description of the property is mostly about nearby things to do. More details of the property itself would be useful.

    Overall we were happy with the cottage. The price is right for the amenities provided. We did bring our own TV and connected to WIFI provided. The dock worked out great for our boat. I’ll most likely rent it again. Thanks Gary!!

    Loved the location of the property, very rustic with lots of character. It was quite warm and there is no air conditioning as well as the windows are very hard to open. There was also no microwave. We had a big storm come through and the dock was under water most of our trip, we did bring our pontoon with us and had a hard time accessing and tying off in front of it. We did love the character of the cabin and it’s probably the best location to be at on clam lake with easy access to torch lake. It does say it sleep 5 to 6 but there is not a lot of privacy as their are only curtains for doors. We only had two of us there so it was ok but I wouldn’t try to fit more unless you have young kids.

    Clam Lake/River. Short boat ride to Torch Lake, and Dockside Inn. Great location. Friendly owners.

    This was our worst VRBO experience yet. The cabin was not clean and full of bugs and cobwebs. We had to use bug spray to kill the spiders and wipe down all the webs. There were dirty dishes in the cupboards and no microwave oven. The management companies excuse was that the cabin is rustic. There is a big difference between rustic and filthy. If you are used to living in a pig sty, this cabin is the one for you. I think the owners would be embarrassed if they knew the condition this cabin is in.
