This was our second stay in this cabin. The host has thought about anything you may want to do during your stay by providing kayaks, row boat, hammock, etc. They have a nice swim area for getting into the water and a dock so you can bring your own boat, which is what we love about the cabin. I only wish it wasn't booked up for next year because we would love to come back!

A wonderful week

We had a great stay in the Cabin on clam. The location is perfect because you are close to Torch, yet you can also take the channel into Lake Bellaire if the weather is too windy or cool. We love that we can dock our boat on ther water! The cabin has several lovely areas to just relax and watch the boats go by. We booked it again for next year!

Great Lake Front Property

Although the cabin is tiny, I have to say it is very well maintained, organized with just enough essentials and clean which I am picky about. The outdoor property is beautiful as well and made our weekend the property is well groomed and again clean and well maintain. We are a family of 4 and my husbands and sons are over 6ft tall cabin was still comfortable. We did spend the majority of our time outdoors and on the boat that we rented at the Marina down the road. Great place for a long weekend.

Great Yard

Property is amazing and the reason we chose this rental. Sandy beach, multi level yard with lots of chairs, tables, benches and hammock. Dock available to use for our boat along with room to store the trailer on the property. Very close to restaurants in Alden and Bellaire including Dockside right up the road. Downsides were the size of the bathroom and lack of air conditioning. We actually left 1 day early, it had been in the 90's all week and even with the available fans we just couldn't cool the place down to sleep comfortably at night. Not even a decent breeze off the water. Overall nice stay during the day when outside on the beach and water.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jul, 2023
Thank you for your feedback on the cabin and we are glad that you enjoyed most of your stay. We understand that the weather can affect the temperature in the cabin, but with it being an original build we are limited in some of the amenities we are able to provide. We currently do not list air conditioning as an amenity since there is not a safe way to currently provide that to our guests. We are always researching ways to bring additional amenities & comfort to our guests when they stay. Thank you again for your feedback.
