Great time on the Clam River

Had a great time at the Clam River Haven. Very convenient to have kayaks already there and a trailer. We dropped in no problem and had a blast. Everything worked as expected and just the right amount of seclusion to make it a quiet enjoyable weekend.

We loved it so much that we are planning to make it an annual event. It was relaxing when we wanted and adventourous when we wanted. The owners have well thought out activities for all interests. The only thing I would change is to have an upstairs air conditioning unit put in as during these hot Michigan summer days, sleep upstairs is difficult.

Boys Weekend

My 3 adult sons and I stayed for the weekend and the house and property was great, and everything we hoped for. The amenities were as advertised, the kayaking was great, and the river was so clear and clean. Linda was easy to communicate with and Heather and Kyle were very helpful and attentive. We had a great weekend and hope to come back in the future! Thanks.

Wonderful, relaxing & peaceful!

We had a great stay, and actually wished we would have book the property longer! We arrived late at night, the check in was easy, and worked as described. There was one issue that the owner addressed first thing the next morning. The house is well supplied with toys, the kitchen is stocked with tools, and the location is amazing. The river was clean, and we loved the kayak trip. This location appealed to my entire family, and we will be back.

Clam River Haven

We had a wonderful experience at Clam River Haven! I traveled with a group of 8 people and this was the perfect place to stay! Plenty of room for everyone in this lovely home by the river with everything we needed for a great stay. Linda was great to work with; friendly, accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Beautiful location, lots of games available for entertainment, as well as kayaks and canoes! Would highly recommend.
