About this property
Blue Sky Clam Cottage | Waterfront | Clam Lake
Summary:
This Clam Lake retreat is the perfect Up North getaway! Located on the south shore, it’s just a short boat ride to Torch Lake and connects to over 60 miles of waterway on the lower chain of lakes. The open floor plan with three levels of living offers space for all, plus a balcony to enjoy lake views and watch boats pass by. Nestled between Alden and Bellaire, you’ll find dining, shopping, golf, skiing, and easy day trips to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, or Mackinac Island.
The Space:
This lakefront home offers three levels designed for comfort and relaxation. On the main floor, you’ll find a cozy bedroom with a queen bed and twin-over-twin bunk, a full bathroom, plus an open living, kitchen, and dining area that invites everyone to gather. The walkout lower level features a spacious bedroom with two queen beds, a second living room with a small bar, and access to a patio just steps from the water. Upstairs, enjoy a private king bedroom, a full bathroom, and an open loft with two twin beds. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the main floor deck overlooking the lake or winding down by the water’s edge, this home is made for lasting memories.
Other Things to Note:
We require our renters to be 25 years of age or older. A signed rental agreement and photo ID is required in order to proceed with the booking.
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING - NO PETS - NO EXCEPTIONS
No Campers, tents, RV's, firearms, explosives, or parties.
