About this house rental

Our home accommodates 8 guests with 2 bedrooms (2 queen, 1 full), a sleeper sofa and 2 full baths. The open floor plan and windows allow lake views from every room.

At WAKE & LAKE Cottage you are directly on Clam Lake with 100 ft of private shoreline and minutes to the crystal clear beautiful Torch Lake! Travel the entire Chain of Lakes by boat (Lake Bellaire, Grass River, Clam Lake, Torch Lake, Lake Skegemog & Elk Lake) and keep your boat right on the dock for your stay. The boat slip can easily accommodate a large boat. Slip is about 10 ft wide, can accommodate 25ft boat with water depth from knee high to 4.5 ft at end of the dock. Note that we are not in a no wake zone.

An expansive deck and permanent dock offers lots of space for sunning & lounging! Grill a lovely meal to eat overlooking the water or have a drink on the loungers! In the evenings, cook smores over a campfire and watch the beautiful sunset on the water!

We were a family of six and had plenty of room for everyone to have a bed. We had multiple decks to lounge on, eat together. sit around the fire pit. All the places for boats or jet skis if we rented. Inside, we had a huge table to eat and play card games. There were two sitting areas and a nice sized TV. The kitchen had everything we needed. The washer and dryer worked great. The location is great. We were walking or boating distance to a restaurant, across the river from the boat gas station, We used the chain of lakes to explore up to Bellaire lake on the boat as well as Torch Lake and the sandbar there. We were a short drive to Shanty Creek to golf and eat, plus Short's brewery. The beds were also comfy. They provided an extra twin mattress that one of our kids slept on, plus a pull out couch in the living room if needed. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Very well kept cottage, location is perfect. We brought our own pontoon boat and were able to visit 3 different lakes without taking the boat out of the water. Highly recommend if you love the lake and boating. The deck is gorgeous and we lived the fire pit down by the lake. Check in & out went very smoothly. Will be back for sure.
