The shoreline in front of the home has cattails and a brand new dock (2022) which allows for 1 boat up to 26 feet. 'The dock is 60" wide with a handrail on one side. The deck on the shoreline is also new and a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee, watch boats go by and occasionally see seaplanes take off and land. You will also want to watch and listen for the loons that summer on Clam Lake. Swimming beaches and public accesses are located nearby for swimming.

The lower level with a walk out patio includes a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, family room and an awesome game room that includes: foosball, bumper pool, family board games, puzzles, and a 55” wifi enabled TV with a video console that includes over 5,000 classic video games.

The whole house, including the deck, has 400mbs internet throughout the house so you can get your work finished quickly and allow more time for fun.

The lower level walks out to the backyard where you can rest in the hammock, enjoy the swinging bench and relax in the serenity of beautiful trees and lake views. An outdoor shower under the deck is an added amenity. At night enjoy the beautiful star-filled sky while sharing s’mores and stories around the 2 firepits (firewood provided) that are on the property.

Perfect spot
Great house! Great, spacious house on the lake. We love staying on Clam Lake, much calmer than Torch but so close to Torch Lake. Love the finished basement and extra kitchen, as well as the spacious bedrooms. Lots of amenities at the house. Great communication with the property manager. Thank you!
