Peaceful 4-bed getaway across from Clam Lake

Summary:

Nestled directly across from the peaceful shores of Clam Lake, this spacious 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is the perfect getaway for lake lovers, families, and friend groups. You’re just 1.1 miles from the crystal-clear waters of Torch Lake and lakeside dining at Dockside Torch Lake—with the Clam Lake boat launch only 0.8 miles away, making it easy to bring your boat and explore the Lower Chain of Lakes.



Spend evenings around the firepit roasting s’mores, enjoy yard games under the stars, and start your mornings with coffee on the back deck as the lake sparkles through the trees—this is Northern Michigan at its best.

☀️ Summer on the Water

Swimming, fishing, kayaking, and boating are right at your fingertips. You’re welcome to bring your own boat, with a public boat launch close by for easy access. Prefer to relax? I’m happy to recommend boat rentals or guided tours on Torch Lake so you can soak up the famous turquoise waters stress-free.

Back at the house, the yard is perfect for cornhole, frisbee, or tossing a football. As the sun sets, gather around one of the fire pits with cozy Adirondack seating—ideal for s’mores, stargazing, and unforgettable summer nights.

Great location and a lovely cottage. Lots of games and puzzles to keep us busy on a rainy afternoon. This was a great house that was extremely dog friendly. It is hard to find such a nice option that is both dog-friendly and beautifully appointed. We would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. My family really enjoyed ourselves and it was very dog friendly. Sue was quick to respond to any questions and address any needs. I only scored 4 on cleanliness because the front porch and back patio could use a scrubbing, and maybe some flowers to add some color. I would have liked to have a better view of Clam Lake so that is why I only gave it 4 stars for location. But access to Dockside and pontoon rentals was super convenient. And a quick drive to access Torch Lake swimming. I would also recommend some new bed sheets that are not jersey knit. They were a little warm for sleeping in for July. Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this property.
