Riverside/Fishing/Arcade/Pool Table/Disk Golf/Fire Pit/Basketball/Pets/WiFi/UTV

Welcome to the charming "Cottage on the Bend" vacation home, a haven for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. Nestled on a picturesque bluff overlooking the Clam River, this delightful retreat will soon have the added beauty of fall colors, creating a vibrant and enchanting atmosphere. Observe majestic eagles gracefully soaring above the river, marvel at the diverse array of bird species against the backdrop of colorful foliage, catch glimpses of deer and other wildlife amidst the autumn hues, and try your hand at trout fishing (when in season) in the periodically stocked river. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of the flowing water and the rustling of leaves, providing the perfect backdrop for unwinding during this serene season.

In addition to these natural wonders, the property boasts private trails that beckon you to explore and the option to bring your own kayaks or canoes for tranquil excursions. For adventure enthusiasts, nearby off-property trails are ideal for exhilarating UTV and ATV rides. Engage in various yard games and revel in harmonious communion with nature.

Accommodating up to 10 guests, the two-story house provides ample space for everyone. With four bedrooms including a loft sleeping area, and 2.5 baths, including a centrally located bath on the first floor, a full bath adjacent to the sleeping loft, and a half bath located off one of the main floor bedrooms, your comfort is assured. The fully-equipped kitchen features seating for up to 10 guests at the dining table, creating a welcoming environment for shared meals. Relax in the inviting living room, complete with multiple seating options. Indoor entertainment options abound, with a full-size pool table, an assortment of board games, playing cards, and more.

Step outside onto the patio decks overlooking the river, furnished with tables and chairs, where you can unwind and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature. A propane grill is at your disposal, allowing you to savor delicious outdoor meals. As the day draws to a close, gather around the fire pit for cozy evening campfires (firewood for one fire is provided for every two nights stay, and additional firewood is available from local vendors).

This vacation home is easily accessible year-round via all paved and snow-plowed roads, ensuring a hassle-free arrival and departure. Whether you visit during the summer or winter months, you can rest assured that reaching the "Cottage on the Bend" will be a smooth journey.

Thanksgiving Getaway
From the welcome scene on the tv and the music that greeted us, this great property met all our needs. Kitchen is well stock with needed cooking tools. Nice that it is off of a paved road, especially in the snow. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Hidden Gem
We were visiting for our daughter’s wedding and this property was perfect. It’s tucked away in the woods and on a river, beautiful scenery! Our grandkids spent some time with us and there was so much to do! Games, disk golf, basketball, pool table, the list goes on and on- we all hung out on the deck and used the grill. The weather was perfect and the property was fabulous! We will be back!

The little details
Robert and Natalie clearly want their guests to feel welcome and at home. Communication was a breeze and the information book and welcome basket were overflowing. Every morning we got our coffee or tea and sat out on the deck listening to and watching the river and birds. Other than our visiting with each other, those were the only sounds to be heard. Truly a hide away spot.

Great family get a way
This cottage has everything you would want to get away from everything, but still have things to do! As a family we played games, shot pool, had pacman duels, it was a much needed, very welcome bonding moment for all of us. The cottage was clean, good lay out, and the hosts provide so much that we didnt need to bring half of the comforts we brought from home. All in all a great way to spend a family weekend.

Family Wedding
This property is stunning from the minute you turn off the road and you get to go through the woods to get to this beautiful home! We were a family of 4 older women and our 83 year old mother. We were all in town for a family wedding. This home made it perfect and we had so much room! We made a lot of amazing memories here! Great hosts with awesome communication!

Great stay!
The hosts were awesome and had plenty of tips for local sights, shopping and restaurants based on our interests. Plenty of space, billiards, peaceful and secluded, can see the stars on a clear night and the sound of the river on the back deck with the trees in the breeze was amazing! We used our stay to visit several northwest MI places and can't wait to visit again!

Relaxing getaway
We came to get away, relax and unwind. And it was all that. Views were beautiful. Kitchen was well equipped to cook so we didn’t have to run out to get food daily. I would come again.
