Cabin on the lake with the family

Cabin was clean, no bugs which is a must! Yard work was in progress, would have been nice if more yard was available for activities. The grill was too dirty to use which was sad 😢. Had a blast using the kayaks. Daily visits from the swan, beautiful! Would stay again. The area was very nice, not too secluded but not too busy either.

Perfect Getaway

My fiancé and I just needed a quiet weekend away and I have to say that is what we got. It was so peaceful! The house was perfect for us. The view was great! And the hot tub was a nice bonus! We would definitely rent this house again!

Beautiful Weekend

We had a group of people come up to this property to enjoy it for a weekend, and we had the best time. Nice dock and kayaks for fishing, with good protection from the wind tucked back in the trees. Overall a perfect spot for a weekend up North.

Serenity

Cabin was very clean and well kept. Very peaceful setting. Was nice to have the dock since we rented a boat for the week. We had a peaceful, relaxing week. To enjoy a little more it be nice if ground between cabin and lake could be opened up a little and water around dock area. A new gas grill would be nice also. Overall I would recommend this place and we had a great time

Great cabin on the lake

My family + my sisters family really enjoyed our stay. The young kids loved the "bunk room" while the teen loved the basement. The adults loved that the kids occupied themselves with fishing and playing. ;)

Clam Lake

Great property and location! If you want to fish on Clam, no problem! If you want to zip up to Dockside and Torch Lake, you can do that too. If you want to cruise the Grass Lake and watch the sunset coming back, it's perfect! Super dreamy location with comfortable living arrangements. The wrap around deck is perfect for morning coffee and watching the wildlife wake up. You may even see the bald eagle!

Beautiful Property with Great Location

Stayed here memorial weekend with a group of friends - the house and view is gorgeous. Even better than the photos. The house is spacious and had everything we needed. The kayaks were awesome! The water was just a little too cold to swim in since it was still May, but we enjoyed our time on the dock and in the kayaks. The hot tub and fire pit were amazing too. The host is very responsive, I reached out to her several times and always received a quick reply. It is very close to the downtown Bellaire area, just over 10 minute drive. The beds were very comfy as well! Would definitely stay here again.

Friends weekend getaway

A group of friends and I stayed at this property and I cannot say enough good things! It was extremely clean. The cabin had a very nice cedar/oak smell, and the owners thought of everything you may need while staying here (shampoo conditioner, plenty of towels, little makeup wipes,etc.). The cabin was gorgeous with an amazing view. The fire pit, kayaks, and hottub were a very nice touch! We made breakfast in the kitchen one morning and it is a beautiful kitchen to work it. The beds were AMAZING. With a memory foam topper, I think this is the best I’ve slept in years! Overall, one of my favorite VRBO restaurants Experiences.

Great place by the lake

The home was beautiful and the management team was great to work with! We stayed over NYE weekend so we didn’t get to use the lake but the view was awesome. The location was close to downtown if you want to explore. If not, the home is spacious enough for family games and quality time. Great stay!

Beautiful home in a beautiful area

We had a wonderful stay. Online photos and listing are very accurate as to what to expect. Beautiful lake view. We did have an issue on check in, we were sent the wrong code, and there was a bit of panic in the moment as we couldn’t get a hold of the property manager for a bit. About 15 minutes later we finally got a hold of someone who was able to provide the correct code after several incorrect attempts. The shower upstairs is extremely slippery. The worst I’ve ever seen. I took a shower before my wife and almost fell multiple times. I then warned my wife about it before she got in and not 3 minutes later I heard a loud bang and she had slipped and fallen. Couple nasty bruises. They really need to put something down to create friction. Be very careful if showering upstairs. There were a couple other minor things, the kitchen utensils and pans on hand aren’t the best. Definitely could use some new equipment and a bit more. Beds could also use an upgrade. Pillows were pretty bad and the mattresses have definitely seen some use. All that said, if you can get passed these few issues, it really is a nice spot with a great set up for a family get a way. Hot tub with the lake view is the real star here.

About the host

Hosted by Sue -Bellaire Property Management

My name is Sue and I love working with and meeting new people! I am the property manager for the owners of this beautiful property. My husband and I bought our first vacation home over 17 years ago in Bellaire, MI. We would vacation up north all summer with our family. The community is so friendly and inviting, that as our children got older, we decided to make this our permanent home and moved to Bellaire full time 6 years ago. There is so much to go see and do in northern Michigan with all of the changing seasons.
We decided to buy another property on the lake to rent. This would make it possible for other families to make memories for years to come. With my background in sales and real estate, we decided it would be a fun thing to get involved with other property owners and help manage their properties while they are out of town. This is how I decided to form Bellaire Property Management. I will do whatever I can to make your stay enjoyable and wanting you to come back! :)

Why they chose this property

The cabin is in Bellaire, Michigan which is the County seat and has a charming historic downtown area with a number of high-end shops, places to dine or even grab a beer at Shorts Brewery. The northern shore of Clam Lake is quiet and peaceful. There is a mix of beautiful lakefront homes along the lake. You easily connect to the beautiful crystal blue waters of nationally recognized Torch Lake. (One of the most beautiful in the United States) You can boat down the river to Lake Bellaire to intermediate river and dock your boat for downtown shopping or eateries. Clam Lake is part of the lower chain of lakes which consist of Lake Bellaire, Clam Lake, Torch Lake, Lake Skegemog and Elk Lake. You are able to travel to all of these great lakes by boat. Fall is a great time to stay and visit Bellaire with all of the wineries, hiking and biking the local trails. Grass River is a great place to wonder and discover so much nature. Glacial Hills offers you 30+ miles of trails for biking and hiking. You will not want to miss a chance to see the fall colors while taking a Chair lift ride at Shanty Creek to take in miles of gorgeous views. Winters are one of a kind up north. You will feel super cozy in this log home. Close to skiing, snow shoeing and hiking. Downtown Bellaire is a delight to see the town and local businesses with all of the bright lights during the holidays. You will find this place peaceful and relaxing any time of the year.

What makes this property unique

We have a wonderful new spa/hot tub that provides a great view of Clam Lake while relaxing in the spa. There is a dock in place during the summer months and guests are welcome to bring their own boat. There is a wrap around deck on the main floor, which features a propane gas grill and an outdoor dining table with a great view of the lake. Two Kayaks are available to renters and there is a large fire pit area with chairs to enjoy the stars and eat some smores. The public boat launch on Clam Lake is just a few houses down to the west. Large downstairs area with TV for adults and children to hang out and play games.
