Property was located in prime spot on Torch Lake! We were able to moor our boat and enjoy the beachfront. Great weather this week added to an enjoyable time.
We loved our stay at this property! We had big plans to explore all that northern MI had to offer, but this home enticed us to stay put and relax for the week. It’s just what we needed. Would highly recommend.
Truly an amazing property. Cannot beat the view or the hospitality of the owners - can tell they genuinely care about the property and the guest experience. We were a party of ten including adults and kids from age 7 to 17 and we all had a great time. From the communication about check in/check out procedures to recommendations provided throughout the trip Colleen was a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend this property!!
We had such a lovely time at the cottage even though the weather didn't fully cooperate. The lake views and sunsets are unmatched. We visited Traverse City and Alden which are both a short drive away. Colleen welcomed us with open arms and was always available if we had questions. Such a great week!
It was a very nice location on Torch Lake. Only had to walk 44 steps to put my feet in the water.
Clean older house.
There is a restaurant right next door that we could walk to. That was convention. Good regular food.
Good communication with the owner.
The Dream Cottage sits in a truly wonderful position on Torch Lake. It's adjacent to Dockside, Butch's Marina etc. and a short drive into Bellaire & Alden. The most spectacular feature is the close proximity to the lake and the 200 Ft. of private sand beach; this facilates easy access to the boat, swimming, reading in an Adirondeck with a glass of wine coupled with a breeze and over-arching tranqulity. Overall the Clamelot stay exeeded our expectations! The AM & sunset views were simply stunning. The owners Tom & Colleen were extremely responsive, helpful and charming... the house itself has everything you need for a fulfilling lake holiday. The kitchen is well appointed, the beds comfortable, showers good and dining room, lounge and grilling station all on-point for family dinners and movie-nights. We had 4 teens / young adults with us and they loved the whole Clamelot experience. We plan on returning next year!
We had an amazing experience with this rental! The backyard could not be beat! We loved the amazing amount of lake frontage they offered. It felt like you were a true VIP with the huge sandy beach! My kids loved being able to run in and out of the clear, shallow water! The night views around the fire were so beautiful. The cottage was cozy and had everything you would need to make you feel at home. The owners were also very helpful, communicative, and responsive. We would definitely recommend to those looking to have a great stay!
The property was fantastic and just as described. We had a wonderful week and will remember the trip forever. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for lakeside rentals on Torch Lake.
The property and amenities where terrific. Very friendly owners and made sure all our needs were met. Beautiful beach with lots of water sports. The updated kitchen was fantastic.
The beach says it all! This property was absolutely perfect as far as location and the fact we had our own private, huge beach area! Colleen was so attentive and wonderful - thank you!

Perfect location, beautiful property
This darling, well-equipped cottage hits all the right notes. The location is perfect, and the views are incredible. There is a sandy beach with chairs, hammocks and porch swing to enjoy the lake. The cottage has tons of charm and plenty of room for a large group. I highly recommend!
Located on the east side of the lake, this beautiful home was everything we hoped for on our vacation to Torch Lake; great beach, lots of space and all the necessities (fire pit/grill/kayaks/laundry/+more) for a wonderful week. Located close to grocery, ice cream and a good choice of restaurants. Sunsets were always amazing! Would definitely book again! Hosts were also wonderful to work with!
Stayed here on a family vacation (3 generations). The property was picturesque! Sandy beach, sandy lake bottom, amazing yard to play lawn games. Everyone loved the home, from the young children up to the grandparents! Colleen was amazing to communicate with, and would give us ideas for things in the area. An amazing week we had at Clamelot.
Our family really enjoyed this home, along with the nice big yard and back porch, and big strip of beach. The owners attention to detail and communication was superb We rented a tritoon for the week from Dockside, which is about a block away, great people there as well. We would definitely like to come back some day. Thanks to Colleen and Tom for everything.
We just got home from our family vacation and it was amazing! Colleen was wonderful to work with. The home had everything you could need and fun toys for my daughter. The beach was beautiful, sandy, and incredibly safe for my 3 year old to play in. We will remember this trip forever!
Colleen & Tom were very responsive, very helpful, and very accommodating. Torch Lake is truly a special place. The gradual, sandy beach entry and almost 200 feet of shoreline are the most amazing parts of Clamelot. The cottage is rustic but worked well for our family of five plus grandparents. We had an amazing eight nights at the cottage and wished we had booked it for longer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Torch Lake at this amazing property! The beach was absolutely perfect for my young grandsons. The water was crystal clear and went out very gradually. The house was sparkling clean and very comfortable. The newly remodeled kitchen is beautiful and had everything we needed. Working with Colleen was a joy. Highly recommend this property. Can’t wait to go back.

We had the best time in this wonderful place.
The week was perfect! I had planned to venture out to more places around the state but there was not reason to leave Clamalot. Fires by the lake at night and lots of water fun during the day from the best location on the lake. It was an easy run up through Clam lake and green river or to rip down to the sand bar and enjoy the 'scene'. The house was perfect for family and friends to come and go during the week and the covered deck with two big picnic table were host to great dinners while enjoying the view.
The property was very nice and comfortable for our large family. The lake is awesome - so clean and clear - and we had great weather. There were a few stressful issues around the number of visitors we were allowed to host at the house and a concern about filling the septic system. We worked through the issues and had a great time. The owners are very protective of their home and it shows.
The absolute best part of this property is the amazing beach area- one of the best we have had after years of going to Torch Lake. The beach was long and sandy and the owners had plenty of outdoor toys to use. The size of the beach also made it feel pretty private. We spent as much time as possible outside and really enjoyed the location. I thought Dockside might get loud, but we didn't really even notice it was there. Great for our small children who love building in the sand and splashing in the water.
Clamelot is in an excellent location on Torch Lake and walking distance to the marina. Colleen and Tom (the owners) were very attentive and very easy to communicate with. Clanelot has a nice beach and a good supply of canoes, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards. The house itself is a bit dated and in need of a little TLC. The upstairs bedroom arrange is not traditional.
