About this property

WAKE & LAKE Cottage - All Season

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!

Clam Lake is warm, calm and great for fishing, skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, etc. Don't have a boat? Don't worry - You can rent various water toys from many businesses on Clam Lake or surrounding area (boats, jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, etc.)!

Various nearby boat launches are available (Butch's and Public Clam Lake launch), the nearest being 1.5 miles away. The house is also conveniently located across from Dewitt Marine where you can pull your boat up to fill up on gas and purchase any cooler needs!

Work from 'home' at our cottage surrounded by beautiful and rejuvenating views. Our new mesh Wi-fi systems provides strong signal throughout the cottage and outside on the deck.

For cold weather season, we have a newly installed heating/cooling system and a brand new high efficiency fireplace to make the cottage cozy. Fireplace is gas and fired via remote for ease of use.

We will provide linens, towels and a starter kit of paper products. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pots/pans and utensils. A Traeger and gas grill are available year round.

Enjoy all our recent upgrades! Interior: New washer and dryer as of Dec 2020. New stove/oven installed 2021. New fireplace installed in 2022. Exterior: Firepit in 2021. Three stage deck 2021/2022. New seawall, sandy water edge as of 2022.
