The best!
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!

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!

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.

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!!

Great Place
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.

Wonderful Getaway
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!

Clamelot Vacay
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.

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.

Torch Lake Family Vacation - wonderful week
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.

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.

Great Location on Torch Lake
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.

Torch Lake Treasure
Property has about 200 feet of the best frontage on Torch Lake. Sand beach and a sand bottom with a gentle slope into the water, so would be great for young children. Vintage house that has been updated in the right way. Colleen and Tom are probably the best hosts you will ever find for a property. We had a great stay! The only negative is that all three upstairs bedrooms are connected, so plan for that. The positive is that there are plenty of individual beds, so works well for a large group where sharing beds doesn't work. Also the bedding and towels are high quality. If you can get over the connected bedrooms, you won't find a better property on Torch Lake.

Torch Lake - Lake Living Bliss!
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!

Family Get Away
Sometimes prior to an event things get built up so much that the event doesn't meet your expectations - I can say that wasn't the case for this vacation - It met or exceeded our expectations in every way.
The owners of this location will go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The home is located on the middle of the east side of the lake, which in our opinion, is the best location on Torch Lake. Dockside restaurant and Butch's Marina are both with in walking distance to the house, which was convenient for lunch/dinner and renting a pontoon boat. Torch Lake is a top 10 lake in the United States. The water is crystal clear. The blue and green colors are amazing. The home comes with plenty of toys - canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Late night fires by the lake are a must.
Our trip included my wife and I, along with our three children who are all in their twenties, along with two of their friends.
The seven of us fit comfortable in the house.
I could go on and on, but the bottom line is, if you have the opportunity to rent this house - do it!!

Don’t pass this place up!
From the moment we booked last fall, we have had nothing short of an incredible experience with our host, Colleen. She has been wonderful in answering our many questions about the property, and also was more than accommodating with some of our special requests. This property is an absolute dream. If you are looking for the “Torch Lake Life” experience, don’t hesitate. Just book it. The cottage is quaint, but the entire kitchen has been re modeled and the cleaners did a fantastic job! Air conditioners are a huge bonus! The property was well stocked with anything you could need during your stay, from kitchen supplies to toys for the kiddos and adults to use while enjoying the lake. The yard and beach at this property are unbelievable. Lots of grass and areas with full sun for tanning, and big cedar trees that give plenty of shade for when you went overboard with the sun. We had a constant breeze off the lake to keep things cool. The beach is incredible. You won’t find this anywhere else! Our toddler spent her entire vacation on that beach- digging, skipping rocks and playing in and out of the waves. There are small rocks right along the shore- perfect for combing through and finding treasures like petoskey stones and lake glass, but once you get out about 4 feet into the lake, the bottom is complete sand. Very rare for the east side of the lake! We were initially concerned about how busy the area might be because of its proximity to the dockside- but the landscaping has made this a completely private place, even with a rock retaining wall to separate this beach from Dockside’s. We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals on Torch, and this, by far, is the absolute best. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect place for both relaxing and exploring!
Our extended family had a wonderful week at Clamelot on Torch Lake. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with towels, pillows, and sheets all provided (not always the norm in northern Michigan cottages). The setting couldn't have been more perfect with a wide grassy yard and sandy beach (also a little unusual for a Torch cottage) where we could sit in the adirondack chairs enjoying the view of the lake and sunsets. The cottage itself is very well-equipped from living room to bathrooms to kitchen, even providing beach and water toys. We made several meals with no difficulty using both the vintage stove and the brand new fridge.
The sleeping arrangements are spacious and well-suited for close friends and family. The main floor bedroom's sleep number bed was a nice luxury. Upstairs, comfortable beds fill three separate but linked sleeping areas. A/C and several fans, plus lots of windows ensure comfortable temperatures.
There is a clothes dryer in the cottage for wet towels, but no washing machine, so bring enough undies for the week.
From Clamelot, you can swim, kayak, or boat directly from the beach. Or drive to many wonderful "up north" adventures including mountain biking, golf (at least 6 courses within about 15 minute drive), hiking, shopping, wine and beer makers and more. Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, or Charlevoix are an easy drive as well. Dockside restaurant and a convenience store are basically next door (but far enough away to ensure privacy). Full service grocery in Bellaire is just 10 minutes away.
Colleen, the owner, is quick to respond to any questions, and goes out of her way to ensure you have a great vacation.
All in all, the charm, comfort, and location of Clamelot make it a great place for a Torch Lake vacation.

Sunset Haven
This was our 2nd straight year vacationing on Torch Lake. We stayed on the west shore the 1st year and after eating dinner at sunset on Docksides (resturant/bar right beside Clamelot) patio, we were convinced we needed to stay on the east shore to take advantage of the sunsets. Turns out we ended up literally right beside Dockside and were not disappointed. STUNNING SUNSET VIEWS. The sun drops into a cradle on the west horizon from this property and it is really something to see. Hard to imagine a better location to watch the sun fall over a fire on the beach. The beach was great. Rare sandy frontage of almost 200 ft. that the kids had a blast on. Plenty of beach toys for the kids. Outside area is open and spacious. Plenty of seating. Close to everything. Alden, Bellaire, Elk Rapids, Etc. Concerned about the lack of a washer? The laundromat is 5 miles away. We tossed our clothes in mid week, went across the street to the full size grocery store. By the time we were done so were our clothes.
Back to the house, toss them in the dryer and boom, done. Boat and jetski rentals are literally next door. Keep in mind this is a 1930's cottage. It won't have a bell hop out front, a wine cellar or a sauna for your use.... What it does have is 30's era charm. Knowing she's stood up to Michigan winters for nearly a century and still stands tall for people like me and my family to call home for a week in the summer is pretty special and we loved her old bones. This is all about the location and that amazing view! Colleen (the owner, not a property manager) couldn't have been more accommodating to us, she was there at the beginning to greet us and there at the end to see that everything went well. She's a great host!
