Clam Lake Cottage on Clam Lake - Great Fisherman's Cottage

Weekly Rentals - Saturday to Saturday
Clam Cottage is located on the south side of Clam Lake, midway between Torch Lake and Grass River. It offers 2 bedrooms and a 3/4 bath. Sleeps 4. This is a rustic cottage is great for a couple or fishermen. Perfect if you have a boat, bring it! If you don't, no problem! There are several marinas in the immediate area that rent all types of watercraft. There is a dock to tie up to and from Clam Lake you have access to the 60 miles of waterways that make up the Lower Chain of Lakes, consisting of Torch Lake, Elk Lake, Lake Bellaire, Lake Skegemog and more!

Besides enjoying the beautiful lakes, there's a lot more to see and do in the area! Save time to visit the local towns of Alden, Bellaire and Elk Rapids, where you'll enjoy exploring unique, locally owned shops, casual or fine dining, wine tasting and craft breweries. The quaint town of Alden features a small marina where you can dock your boat. Stroll into town and visit the many one-of-a-kind shops like Nifty Things, Carter's Candles and The Pear Tree. Enjoy excellent muffins, a light breakfast or lunch at the Muffin Tin, hand-dipped ice cream at the Lakeside Dip or Higgins Store, dining at the Torch Lake Beer Company, a tasting room at Vista Ridge Winery (featuring locally produced wine) and many wonderful shops like the Alden Mill House for a large selection of kitchen gadgets, fresh spices, and spice blends. Venture to Bellaire, home of Shanty Creek Resort and Schuss Mountain for world-class golf, skiing and fine dining overlooking Lake Bellaire. Check out the award-winning Short's Brewery, taste Meade at Bell Well Meadery, have a glass of wine at Hello Vino, (the gals there are very friendly and helpful), or sip some locally distilled liquor at Mammoth Distillery. To the west is Elk Rapids, a harbor town nestled between Grand Traverse Bay and Elk Lake. Here you'll find a beautiful public beach and park, as well as waterfront dining and shopping. Further west, you'll find Traverse City, 45 minutes away and home of the National Cherry Festival as well as the Traverse City Film Festival. Or ... keep going west, and visit award-winning Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, once voted the "Most Beautiful Place in America" by Good Morning America. More adventure awaits to the north of the condo, 1 1/2 hours away you'll discover the Mackinac Bridge leading you to the untamed Upper Peninsula. Or, catch a ferry to Mackinac Island and visit the Grand Hotel, explore shopping and dining in the quaint town, visit historic Fort Mackinac, or rent bikes and ride the 8-mile shoreline circumference of the island. Not into biking? Catch a ride on a horse-drawn carriage, because no cars are allowed on the island!

My thoughts
The description of the property is mostly about nearby things to do. More details of the property itself would be useful.

Nice rustic cabin 👍
Overall we were happy with the cottage. The price is right for the amenities provided. We did bring our own TV and connected to WIFI provided. The dock worked out great for our boat. I’ll most likely rent it again. Thanks Gary!!

Great location, very rustic cabin
Loved the location of the property, very rustic with lots of character. It was quite warm and there is no air conditioning as well as the windows are very hard to open. There was also no microwave. We had a big storm come through and the dock was under water most of our trip, we did bring our pontoon with us and had a hard time accessing and tying off in front of it. We did love the character of the cabin and it’s probably the best location to be at on clam lake with easy access to torch lake. It does say it sleep 5 to 6 but there is not a lot of privacy as their are only curtains for doors. We only had two of us there so it was ok but I wouldn’t try to fit more unless you have young kids.

Cabin was not clean
This was our worst VRBO experience yet. The cabin was not clean and full of bugs and cobwebs. We had to use bug spray to kill the spiders and wipe down all the webs. There were dirty dishes in the cupboards and no microwave oven. The management companies excuse was that the cabin is rustic. There is a big difference between rustic and filthy. If you are used to living in a pig sty, this cabin is the one for you. I think the owners would be embarrassed if they knew the condition this cabin is in.
