This home was beautiful! Gorgeous view of Clam Lake with easy access. Lots of details were attended to. From the hot tub being up and ready for us upon arrival to the glow-in-the-dark stones that lit up the pathway at night to the abundance of household supplies. Being able to experience a true log home and all its beauty was a fantastic experience. It was a great jumping off point for so many days trips. We especially loved the trip to Green River Nature Site which was just minutes away from the house. It was a quiet location, as well. Kayaks were available but we did not use. I would highly recommend this home!

We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and your time on Clam Lake! It sounds like you made the most of the peaceful location and nearby day trips. We really appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again!
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!!!
Beautiful home with an amazing view, everything you need is available. Management very accomodating and gracious! So glad we discovered this jewel and the area!!!!
We had a group of people come up to this property to enjoy it for a weekend, and we had the best time. Nice dock and kayaks for fishing, with good protection from the wind tucked back in the trees. Overall a perfect spot for a weekend up North.
My fiancé and I just needed a quiet weekend away and I have to say that is what we got.
It was so peaceful! The house was perfect for us. The view was great! And the hot tub was a nice bonus! We would definitely rent this house again!
The home was beautiful and the management team was great to work with! We stayed over NYE weekend so we didn’t get to use the lake but the view was awesome. The location was close to downtown if you want to explore. If not, the home is spacious enough for family games and quality time. Great stay!
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.
My family + my sisters family really enjoyed our stay. The young kids loved the "bunk room" while the teen loved the basement. The adults loved that the kids occupied themselves with fishing and playing. ;)
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.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I will be sure to make sure the grill is clean for all incoming renters. I am sorry that happened to you.. Always feel free to reach out to me, i can run over and would have cleaned it.
Thanks again!
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 very clean and well kept. Very peaceful setting. Was nice to have the dock since we rented a boat for the week. We had a peaceful, relaxing week. To enjoy a little more it be nice if ground between cabin and lake could be opened up a little and water around dock area. A new gas grill would be nice also. Overall I would recommend this place and we had a great time
