    Beautiful home, very well suited for families in a great location. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and parking our boat at the dock out back. Kristi was quick to respond to messages and the owner was very accommodating for some of our special requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.

    This is our 2nd year at this house and 3rd year on Clam Lake. We live staying in Clam Lake over Torch with our boat din e the lake is always nice and calm and great for tubing and wake surfing. We bring friends and family and fill up the house with the 12 person max and it’s great bc it’s so spacious with large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms so we don’t feel like we’re on top of each other. The game room and second kitchen is always a great perk.Def recommend!

    We love coming to Clam Lake and this cottage delivered! Amazing location, extremely well-stocked kitchen, clean and spacious. We had several very hot days, and it was still cool inside, even without AC. Excellent and responsive property manager. The entire family loved it.

    Great house! Great, spacious house on the lake. We love staying on Clam Lake, much calmer than Torch but so close to Torch Lake. Love the finished basement and extra kitchen, as well as the spacious bedrooms. Lots of amenities at the house. Great communication with the property manager. Thank you!

    We had three families for our annual summer vacation at the lake. The house, dock, and property were perfect.
