Relaxing
Great location. Rustic cabin on water was perfect for our needs, Once the area is investigated it is a relatively close commute to accomplish / visit whatever is desired. Mike was very helpful answering questions regarding the area and providing firewood. It is a MUST to rent his boat to investigate the lakes-very relaxing!! He even went out of the way and mailed a couple of items to me when I accidently left them behind. A great host and vacation. Lots more to see when we revisit!

Another great summer vacation week!
This was our 7th year staying at this cottage. We love the location…30 min boat ride to the sandbar on Torch Lake or 5 min to the Grass River for a ride up to Bellaire. My favorite is sipping coffee on the screened in porch each morning listening to the waves. Plenty of golf courses nearby to choose from. We also enjoy the local restaurants. Thank you for also allowing fur kids, our Pug loves pontoon rides so I’m happy we can bring her. Reservation is already made for next year, can’t wait!

Reliving Memories
We vacationed at Northaire Resort for about 15 years. Our last stay was in 1993. We wanted to revisit the area and reminisce about our times. Although the weather wasn’t very good, it was still worth the trip. This cottage has been separated from the other cottages in Northaire. The owner, Mike is a very nice person. He spends a lot of time at the boathouse that he erected on the property which really wasn’t a problem. The cottage itself needs some significant work and a good cleaning. Having said that, it was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and still we had a good reunion. Remember to bring your own pillows. We didn’t realize there weren’t any in the cottage and had to use the throw pillows on the couch.

Perfect getaway
This was the perfect up north cabin for that getaway that you or your family is looking for. You are right on Clam lake, who wouldn’t want to wake up on the beautiful water! The views are breathtaking and the cabin has everything you and or your family could need. I really enjoyed my stay and meeting the owner Mike was a delight, He was very kind and easier to talk to! I would recommend this location for anyone wanting that true up north experience!

6th Summer Vacation and counting!
This was our 6th year staying at this cute cottage for our summer vacation. Great location on Clam Lake. We bring our pontoon each year so we can enjoy the lakes and Grass River. My favorite part of the cottage is the screened in porch. I enjoy drinking my morning coffee every morning overlooking the lake. This cottage is also a short distance to golf in Bellaire or shopping in Alden. Make sure to checkout the sunset from Dockside just down the road, beautiful.

Another great summer vaca in the books!
This was our 4th year renting this cottage for summer vacation and we had a great time as usual! I look forward to morning coffee in the screened in porch overlooking Clam Lake. We bring our pontoon up each year and love the great location… whether we’re headed to the Torch Lake sandbar or travel up the Grass River to Bellaire for lunch. We’re looking forward to next year already!

Great vacation
This was a really nice spot for the family! Our dog loved it! Owners next door have dogs and they were super friendly and let our dog play for a bit. It was nice to run into Mike when he was around. He found a snapping turtle on his way in, rescued it from the road, and showed our kids! He was great! The boat house worked out great for our 17ft 4winns. Very simple cottage feel. Felt like we went back in time a bit and that was very nice. It’s everything we needed and nothing we didn’t! Thanks Mike!

Great getaway,
Thanks to Mike for being the perfect host! Quaint and cozy, the cabin had all you need. We took full advantage of the picnic area with a table, grill, and fire pit, right on the water. Great location, 4 miles north to Bellaire, and 4 miles south to Alden. 10 minute boat ride to Torch Lake.
