Payne's Lakeside Cottage with Private Beach

Wake up to a beautiful sunrise on peaceful Bertha Lake. Enjoy your time on the private beach, off the dock, or with the many outdoor activities Clare County offers. Children love to play in the sand on the beach or go swimming off the dock. Bertha Lake is home to many fish ready for the catching! Based on the season, fishing, skiing, tubing/sledding, golf, or off-road trails are all options. Back at the beach house, cozy up next to the bonfire and enjoy some s'mores on the lake.

Short stay
We needed a place to stay that allowed our pup to join so we could attend a wedding for a family member. This was our first Vrbo experience and did not know what to expect. We were very happy with our stay and appreciated our host’s thoughtful details.

Great cabin in Harrison
By far the cleanest, well organized well equipped cabin. The lake was a good kayaking no wake lake. Being the 4th of July week, the neighbors had an abundance of loud fireworks! But they stopped by 11. I would highly recommend this cabin.

Fabulous Place
This a great place to hang out, take a side by side ride, or fish. Beds are super comfy, living area had a great couch to watch some netfix and the kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you might need to cook. Our favorite area was the gazebo! All the lights placed around make the night ambiance beautiful! If you come across a couple big baby gates for the deck that would be the only missing item. To keep the kids and dogs in. If you come with your four legged friends, like we did bring long leads. Theres a couple huge dogs on one side that were not impressed with are little guys. There are atv trails that will bring you to the Leota trail head. Or you can trailer over to trails end pub and head out from there. Go in after! Super good food and cold beer! The owner is a hoot! Gave are grand daughter all kinds of snacks to keep her happy. We never did have a fire but was set up and ready to go. The hosts were very responsive and friendly! Go here! You will be happy and relaxed!

Perfect weekend away
The wife and I loved the place! It sits on a nice little lake in a quiet neighborhood. Would love to return when the weather is warmer and kayak the lake.

The Ritz
Beautiful place for 2 adults or a small family. Attention to every detail, including quality beds and linens, fully stocked kitchen, sandy beach and shoreline for a couple little ones plus a nice paddle boat and 2 kayaks. It has it all !! Need to know though that there are steps to climb in case that's an issue.

Wonderful Lakeside Cottage
My husband and I were very pleased with this modern cozy cottage. We were there in the middle of the week so it was very quiet with few neighbors at the lake. Well supplied, clean with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Will definitely come back!
