Cottage vacation rentals in Clare County

Stoney Ridge on Blue Lake was a pleasant stay for an extended weekend trip with our children and grandchildren. The fresh decor and view of the lake were wonderful features. The finished garage with plenty of seating, view of the lake, giant Connect 4 game, and corn hole provided a fun space. We enjoyed the nearby swimming pool, beach, golf courses, shops and restaurants. Meriden was a very responsive host. Thank you, Meriden, for your hospitality!

My husband and I spent two nights here on our honeymoon. This place was extremely clean and we noticed how good it smelled when we walked in! The hosts left clear instructions on what to do with everything they offered. The pool table/game room is separate from the house, which I thought was pretty cool! Very peaceful, surrounding neighbors were quiet even during memorial weekend. Perfect place to relax, there is enough to do where you don’t have to leave if you don’t want to! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Very friendly hosts who offered a lot for a great price. Would definitely take a trip here again!! (There’s also a scavenger hunt they include if you’re looking for something fun to do outside- so cute!!)

It was a great location for a beautiful getaway. The home was very cozy and as described. The host was very informative, proactive, and friendly. We would highly recommend!.

Such a fun place to stay!

House was exactly has depicted. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio watching the fishing boats and enjoying beautiful sunsets. The hot tub was also nice. The house has plenty of towels and the kitchen had everything we needed.

We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend for my dad’s memorial service at the nearby Eagles Rec Center, and I can’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate his memory. The view of the lake is absolutely breathtaking—especially from the two massive decks and the private bedroom balcony. Sunrise coffee and sunset bonfires hit different with that kind of scenery. We even saw bald eagles! There was more than enough room for our group of 9 adults and 3 kids to spread out comfortably across all three levels. The house is beautifully renovated with a rustic modern vibe. The two large door walls in the living room gave tons of natural light and panoramic views of the lake from inside. From kayaks and paddleboards to the sandy bonfire area, to the stocked kitchen (with two fridges!), grill on the deck, the awesome game room downstairs, and on-site laundry, this place had it all. The beds were super comfy and the bathrooms were stocked with shampoos and soaps. Truly an amazing weekend.

This was the perfect setup for a little weekend getaway with a 6-year-old and our pup. The place was cute, the firepit was enjoyable, the area was beautiful, we felt we had enough privacy and everything we needed was included. We also used the guest passes to the community facilities to swim and enjoy the hot tub - excellent facilities there as well. We loved our weekend!

Kathleen was a very responsive and communicated well. Her place was exactly as described in the description. It was a very nice cabin, perfect for a couple families to enjoy themselves without being right on top of each other. The hot tub was especially nice after a long day on the ski hill! Would definitely stay here again in the future! Thanks for such a nice cabin and great experience!

we loved the place and definitely will go back...

Had a great weekend at this cute lake house! We will definitely be coming back!

Everything was so nice!! She had everything you would need and even went out the way to have little extras like games to play as a family and smores to roast over a fire outside. We had a really good time in Lake City. We will definitely book this place again when we come back.

Place was as described, was very clean and cozy.

Great place to stay, highly recommend! Have everything you could possibly need, super clean and host is very responsive and very nice. We will be back next hunting season!

Jeff’s place was perfect for our weekend up north golfing! It was right next to Houghton lake and we saw some beautiful sunsets over the water.

We felt right at home and was the perfect place to take our dogs for their first vacation. Beautiful lakefront and walkable to the local bar/restaurant. Can’t wait to go back.

The house was a bit smaller than expected, but it still worked out great. The paddle boards, paddle boat and kayaks were so much fun! Virginia was very responsive to the minor glitch that we did have with the electricity. Very clean. The fire pit was awesome and wood was provided (Bonus!!).

We had a wonderful stay at this cute little lake house! Our family was very comfortable and had everything we needed! It was nice waking up lakefront during our stay in Harrison! Thank you!

The Candy Apple Cottage was the perfect retreat for my friends and I on our annual couple’s weekend! We had a great time relaxing in this adorable, cozy cottage. Fun amenities in the clubhouse, and an overall nice atmosphere to unwind! We will definitely be booking again!

This was our second time staying at Jennifer's place. We absolutely love it! It is perfect for our family of 4. A short walk down the driveway and you are at a park, beach, and fishing dock. The beach is great! The water is clear and no seaweed. My son and I caught small blue gills at the fishing dock, and my daughter loves the park. Also, be sure to check out The Depot (10 min walk) for ice cream and pizza! Well be back!

Just as described only better!!! Absolutely spotless in every aspect! Patti went out of her way to answer any question I had before and during our stay. To be honest if I listed everything I loved about this place i could write a book! My family can’t wait to go back!!! Zero complaints except to myself for not staying longer!!!

We loved our time at the lake house with our fur babies! It was so peaceful and relaxing for us! We have family in area so we definitely will be back!

We had a very restful and peaceful stay. The accommodations were just perfect for us. We will definitely choose to stay again in the future.

Thank you again for wonderful accommodations. This was our second stay at Owl & Anchor and it was even better than the first stay. The host is very thoughtful and the rental is stocked so well with any items needed. The weather did not allow us to kayak as planned since it was very windy but we made the best of our time and it was nice to have the extra throw blankets to toss over our laps on the chilly evenings. There are plenty of games to keep busy with when the weather does not cooperate and the cottage is super comfortable for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake.

This place is amazing. My adult daughters and I booked for girls weekend and we were not disappointed. We loved every minute. The beautiful sunrise and breathtaking sunset over the lake was pristine. Lake neighbors super friendly. Our Host Hanin was a pleasure to work with and super close by should we need anything. We are already planning our trip for next year to this place.
