    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

    House was as advertised. Loved sitting on deck to watch the swans in the morning. Great having a grill and two kayaks on property. Kitchen was well stocked, great kitchen table to play games at. The only thing that I might say was a downside was the upstairs bedroom with the queen and bunks did not have a door (as pictured).

    Cabin was clean, no bugs which is a must! Yard work was in progress, would have been nice if more yard was available for activities. The grill was too dirty to use which was sad ?. Had a blast using the kayaks. Daily visits from the swan, beautiful! Would stay again. The area was very nice, not too secluded but not too busy either.

    Had an excellent time on Clam Lake. The family enjoyed the great north woods as well as Clam Lake, Lake Bellaire, and Torch Lake. Family activities included Fishing, Boating, Playing Cards, Camp Fire Confessions, cornhole n many trips into the town of Bellaire.

    We had a wonderful family vacation. We enjoyed the hot tub and rented a boat and were able to go fishing on Clam and explore Torch all together! Great fun sitting at the table on the side porch. The house is beautiful and was perfect for us!!!
