Exceptionally well put together and clean home. It was perfectly located to go to multiple golf courses and enjoy the lake. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with.

Thanks Matt! We appreciate you choosing to stay at our vacation home. Come back anytime!
Great week on Torch Lake / Clam Lake enjoying some beautiful weather and a beautiful property that was really sensational for our crew of family and friends. Plenty of comfy beds and bathrooms, lots of space to be together or apart when the night owls and the morning glories needed to separate. Property met all our expectations, there was nothing we needed and the owners were great with communication and information as needed. Hope we can come back again next year! Thank you!

Great property on the lake with great views. House was clean and check in was easy. Didn’t even have to contact the owner as it was all clear in the instructions given. Great for a large group. Short drive to Bellaire which was fun for live music at Short’s Brewing and Saturday Karaoke at Toonies. The drive into Traverse city was also easy as well.
We loved staying at Clam Haven! The house and amenities were perfect. The beds were very comfortable, the lake and river access were so easy. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Magnificent Torch Lake was a truly worthwhile destination. The spacious home, surrounded by trees and frequented by deer, offered a serene and relaxing environment.

Beautiful property on Clam Lake. Very quiet area. Great spot to dock/rent a boat and enjoy Clam Lake and Torch Lake. House is very spacious with very comfortable beds.
This location fit our family perfectly. It was in a great spot to be able to enjoy quiet Clam Lake or Torch Lake as well. Owners we very kind and easy to get ahold of for questions and concerns.

Our family really enjoyed our time at this house. It’s very clean, has a great view of the lake, and feels very private. The check in process was seamless. This is a place I would definitely return to.

We love having families come stay! It’s always good to hear that our guests have everything they need and are happy with the accommodations.
House is beautiful! Smooth process for renting out, and host receptive. Had everything we needed. Quiet area and so easy to rent a boat and have it docked! Beds were comfortable too!

It’s always so great to hear that our guests had a good time! Thanks for your business and please consider coming again!
Lots of room for big groups, including multiple families. Lots of space and privacy throughout. Great location if you don't mind a boat ride to get to some more swimming friendly shorelines.

Thanks Kristen. Pretty sure you meant to say “home”, since we have no “phone” 😊
This is a fantastic property with plenty of room both indoors and outdoors. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We rented a boat from Butch’s Marina and it was just a short drive from the property and easy access to Torch lake. We’d definitely stay here again.

This home is beautiful and has lots of extras to help make the stay easier (spices, baggies, toiletries, throw blankets, games, etc). The view of the lake and swan family is fantastic - especially with a cup of coffee from the screened in porch. Beds were very comfortable and space was as described. Would recommend!
We had a great time at the property this year. Everything from making s'mores in the fire pit, to grilling and dining in the eat-in-kitchen or on the deck, and the fun times relaxing in the living room with the gorgeous views of the lake created lasting memories for the family. Shelly is responsive and very nice. The house is roomy and comfortable and we hope to return again!

Nice Lake House w/Beautiful Views!
The home is as advertised... Very nice, clean and accommodating.
Newly renovated w/great views of the lake and mountains...very picturesque!
I didn't have a large party but it could have easily slept more.
As a bonus: The owner Shelly was a pleasure to work with.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Thank you so much!!! Glad you enjoyed the house. Hope to have you back again.
Clam Haven is a beautiful home inside and out to gather as a family to spend time together, enjoy nature and find a spot to slip away and spend time alone. The layout of the house was perfect for 8 adults and one baby. We will choose it again when coming to this slice of beauty in Michigan. Host is very responsive and hospitable. Thank you!

Thank you Lynn! Your family were wonderful guests and we look forward to having you back.
Met here with a group of adult friends and everyone loved the house and location. Private and scenic Clam Lake was a great hideaway from the business of Torch Lake, but it is a short boat ride to get to Torch or Bellaire. The use of the dock was wonderful and allowed a lot of flexibility throughout the day for different schedules and changing weather. We are highly likely to book again. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Thanks Jaymes! We’re so glad that the house and property worked well for your group. You’re welcome back anytime!
We enjoyed our stay. Boated to torch one day and down grass river to lake bellaire another day. Caught perch and pike and had fun tubing. Loved campfire and star gazing. Played board games on our rainy night. House was great size for our group.
Thank you!!
We had the best time on our annual family summer vacation. The accommodations were perfect for our family with 4 teenagers. We did bring our pontoon and were able to enjoy both Lake Bellaire (35 min river ride) and the Torch Lake Sandbar (50 min ride). Cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!
