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!

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.

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.

We would definitely like to come back some day. Thanks to Colleen and Tom for everything.

Torch Lake is spectacular

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 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.

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.

Great stay at Torch

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.

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.
