The home is lovely and in a great location! We enjoyed the water view, the decks, firepit, and the boat dock. The home was great for the two of us and would be perfect for a larger family. Large beautiful living room too. Very easy access to beautiful Torch Lake! Dave and Natalie were very helpful. We would stay there again

Spring break ski trip

Clean, cozy, & having all the conveniences of home, our family of 6 spent a happy week here. We enjoyed the quiet beauty of the lake and also the centralized location to visit several Northern Michigan ski resorts within a 1-1.5 hour drive.

Incredible place to stay!

The cottage was great! Everything was clean, came well equipped, and the view was awesome! The location is perfect and is really close to great beer, several lakes, the beach, and is just a short drive to downtown TC. The owners were also great with communications.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful time at the Cottage On Clam Lake. The location is perfect. A short boat ride to Torch Lake and boat day trips all around the chain of lakes. Great fishing and the house was a great size. Some great outdoor space too!! Close to restaurants and shopping.
