★ Cozy Family Getaway ★ on Beautiful Clear Lake 3 or 4 Bedrooms Available

First floor master bed/bath rented for an additional fee per night.

Located within walking distance of beautiful downtown Clear Lake. This lakehouse sleeps 10 in 4 bedrooms. 2 bunk beds (4 twins), 2 queens, and 1 king in the master bedroom. 2 full and 1 half bath fully stocked kitchen, laundry room, fireplace, large deck with two picnic tables, and both charcoal and propane grills. Also, a balcony is accessed by both main bedrooms on the upper floor overlooking the canal and the wildlife marsh. Dogs (4 MAX). No cats allowed. The garage and shed will be locked. No guaranteed dock space is available (first come first serve for the subdivision).

The community has a 5 MPH speed limit that is vigilantly monitored. Please slow down... observe the posted speed limit... relax and enjoy the tranquility!

Cameras are located only on the exterior of the house. They are used for security when the house is vacant and as a notification that guests have checked in.

This house is located within riding distance to Ogemaw ORV trails, Frank Alley Snowmobile Park, and Ogemaw Sport & Trail Center. The county allows for ORVs to be ridden on the shoulder of the roads so no need to trailer once you arrive. Room for parking large trailers on a lot located 100 yards from the house.

The lake is a beautiful crystal clear all-sports lake with a sandy bottom, over 200 acres, and several islands with surrounding sandbars, great for water skiing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and fishing. Boat rentals are available at the Clear Lake Resort. A public launch and beach are located within walking distance from the house, right next to the bar and party store.

Wake up and head to the Side Door Restaurant for breakfast. The Clear Lake Party Store has all the conveniences you will need to fill your weekend. For lunch and dinner or late-night fun head to the Clear Lake Bar for a warm atmosphere and great food.

There are several golf courses within driving distance. Local courses include: The Dream, The Nightmare, West Branch Country Club, and Forest Dunes annually ranked in the top 25 nationally by all the major golf publications.

Thousands of acres of state land for hunting or exploring. Dedicated cross-country skiing, hiking, and mountain biking trails at Ogemaw Hills Pathways and Cross-Country Ski Headquarters.

The Ogemaw Nature Park is a free admission non-profit that provides an opportunity to hand feed a herd of Whitetail Deer along with other native animals.

This house is a wonderful place to bring the whole family or get a weekend away relaxing and enjoying what the clear lake area has to offer.

Please contact us if you have any questions. If I am not available in person there will be an associate available to come to the house if needed by traveler request. Our staff is here to make your trip a wonderful experience and will help with any special accommodation or requests your group may have.

The exterior cameras are used to verify that the number of guests is not over the max and for the presence and number of animals. After that, they will remain off unless I receive a complaint from a neighbor that requires me to verify that complaint. This policy was unfortunately created due to the gross misuse of this property by some previous renters.

No tents are allowed on the property.

Parking is limited with 2 spaces in the driveway and 2 spaces along the road/treeline of Cedar St. Additional parking for trailers is permitted on property located on Oak Trail 1, across the street. No parking vehicles or trailers on the grass.

Smoking in the house will be a $500 fine for deep cleaning. (Determined by cleaning team) The number of guests/pets you specify may be verified in person. Any additional guest is a $100/day fine.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Limited parking is available onsite.

Everything was lovely but…
It’s a beautiful location! Pontoon rental is on the lake. The lake itself is beautiful. The house itself seemed clean. Unfortunately the bathrooms had not been cleaned. The toilets/sinks/showers were visually dirty. Hairs on the sinks and in the showers, dried tooth paste, and the toilet had other dried items around the toilet rim. Opened single packaged soaps from previous people who rented.

Very nice up north get away!
The location is very nice and the lake was gorgeous! There is a small party store and bar right down the road. We rented a boat from the resort on the lake and were able to dock the boat right in front of the house when we need to grab more drinks and snacks! The master bedroom is an extra fee per night otherwise it is locked upon arrival. I didn’t realize that when booking so I did message the owner and she was very helpful with getting us set up with that for the following nights!

Family time
We had a wonderful time this past weekend. We had our adult children and beloveds with us. We ate great food, played cards, rented a pontoon, took walks, had ice cream and sat around campfires and caught up! The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Bedrooms were so comfortable especially with the the walkout balconies! The area is so peaceful and beautiful. Would love to come back!

Guy's weekend getaway
The house was as advertised. Sleeping arrangements were good. Living room was large enough and had seating for all. Parking was fine with the additional lot to park trucks and trailers. We had a rainy day and spent the day inside and was comfortable. Location was close to trails allowing us to drive our SxS's right from the house. Close enough to both West Branch and St Helen for shopping and supplies.

Kid and dog friendly
We were so happy that there was a very large deck with fencing all the way around with two gates. The little kids were contained as well as our dog. We ate all our meals on the deck. We had 11 people at this cottage and it was just the right size. We didn't feel like we were on top of one another. Everything was as described and Jess was easy to work with and quick to respond. We rented a pontoon boat and took advantage of the sand bars in the lake to play with our grandchildren. Our only issue was the four children sleeping in the bunk bed room got hot in the evening. I would definitely recommend this place.

The place was great. Communication and getting into the property was easy. It was clean. It easily accommodated 9 dudes for our boys trip. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary tools to prepare meals for a large group. We rented a pontoon from the resort on the lake and parked in the canal.

Our friend group went for the 4th of July weekend and we had so much fun! The house was clean, kitchen well equipped for cooking, and the deck was very spacious. We rented a pontoon boat at the resort down the street which was a blast! Jess was super nice and responded quickly to any questions we had. We highly recommend staying here for a fun getaway!
