- "Came for a fishing tournament on elk lake. Wives met us at the cabin . We all had a great weekend " - "My son and his girlfriend wanted to get away for a weekend and they asked me to plan a trip. Although I was born and raised in Michigan, I hadn't spent much time in this area of Michigan, After much searching, I found this cabin that seemed to meet our needs. The weekend we chose happened to be an unusually chilly and windy weekend and we are glad this cabin had heat (not advertised on VRBO). There are 4 cabins that are situated right on Thayer Lake. The area does have a large number of residences, but the cabins still felt isolated. The cabins are located between Alden and Bellaire so access to stores and restaurants was easy. The cabin itself was cozy with everything we needed for a weekend. It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The cabins seemed fairly new or recently remodeled. The size of the cabin was perfect for 4 adults. Although we didn't use them, there were a number of row boats and kayaks that seemed to be available for guests. We saw deer in the mornings and evenings. The host did supply a folder with the wifi password as well as recommendations for activities and restaurants. Each cabin had a firepit available. We never interacted with the host, but I believe that we did see and host and waved as we drove into the cabin. The only constructive feedback I would provide is that if I would have stayed here longer than a weekend, I would have liked a little more cookware to be able to make meals in the cabin. "

- "I’ve been vacationing in this area my entire life and have family that lives in Bellaire. This cottage was adorable and clean, stocked with almost everything needed for a vacation. The decor was so cute and eclectic, the backyard was great for my little kids to play in, and we loved walking to get ice cream in town every night. The road the cottage is on can be busy and the cars sometimes drive fast, so I worried with my little kids. That is no fault of the cottage or owners. We loved our stay here!"

- "We enjoyed our stay on Clam Lake! The beds were very comfortable, including the couch bed. The house was clean. The owner communicated with us throughout our stay when necessary. The only bummer was we couldn’t use the dock. We brought our boat (with a deep v hull) and were not able to use the boat dock due to low water levels. The dock would probably be okay for a pontoon boat or similar. You might want to scout out ramps when you get there as some are better than others. Most ramps have very little parking nearby so go early to launch! We enjoyed going to dockside, shorts brewing and torch lake beer company. We had a fantastic time at the sandbar on lake torch.
