We stayed here instead of in South Bend during the ND football camp. It was a great central location to South Bend and then 20 minute drive to Lake Michigan beach towns. Cabin is great for a family wanting to travel with pets. The lake is beautiful and our boys loved swimming off the dock and at the beach. Well stocked with everything you need to cook meals and backyard fire pit is very nice. Bikes were a great touch and we road around the lake dirt roads. Highly recommend a visit to Warren Dunes and Wheatberry tavern if you book a stay.

Super Relaxing and Laid Back Destination

Clear Lake Cottage made for the ultimate relaxing couples retreat. It was perfect mix of outdoorsy fun with the comfort of the wonderful amenities that the owner provided. The cottage was a bit difficult to find (according to our GPS) but it was worth getting lost for a few minutes... when we arrived to the cottage we realized it was tucked away at the end of a gravel road in the midst of a large wooded area as well as a nicely manicured lawn. Very private. The pictures online definitely don't do the place justice. My boyfriend and I along with our two friends who are a couple made use of all that the cottage had to offer. We especially loved floating around the very peaceful lake at dusk on the boats. Our friend's brought their Jack Russell Terrier and she seemed very comfortable being there... the cottage was very pet friendly. It was a great place to unwind and de-stress from city life. Clear Lake Cottage is truly a gem and we will definitely will keep it in mind for future visits.

I cannot believe this place has been here all along and we didn't know about it. We have stayed at the Fullers campground across the lake for years in season but wanted to come up to the lake a little early this year for some vineyard hopping. This place is amazing. Super clean, nice rooms, really pretty yard .
The owners left us a bottle of local wine too!

Even in-season the price is better than trying to fit my whole gang into cottages and tents at Fullers. Three bedrooms and we can bring our scottish terrier Baily! We have already booked a summer visit as well. If you can grab a spot here do it - but not our spot :). My family recommends it highly!

We wanted a place with solitude and all the comforts of home and this place delivered. This is a cute cedar cottage tucked into a giant lot so we didn't have to look out the windows and see our neighbors. We loved the outdoor deck and the fire pit in the evenings. My son had a blast playing in the log house. It was his own private fort! We used the pedal boat on the lake and watched a few movies on Netflix on the one day it rained. I think the layout of the cottage is great, with a wide open kitchen so that I could try and disrupt my husband while he laid on the couch reading a book and I made dinner. Our dog Boz couldn't get enough of the long walks on winding dirt roads. It was refreshing not having to deal with Chicago traffic.

Great Weekend!

My boyfriend, our German Shepherd and I rented the cottage over the New Years Eve weekend. We were looking for a quiet cabin to get away from all of the new years craziness and this was just the place!
The weather wasn't great which confined us to walks around the lake (during one of which we got engaged!!), bbqing on the porch, sitting by the fire and playing board games on the kitchen island. It felt more like we were visiting a friend's home than renting a cabin from a stranger.
We will definitely be back.

i almost want not to write a good review because the more people who find this place, the less likely i am going to find an opening again, but i have to. this was such a nice place to stay. very warm, and inviting. i love the fact that we were able to bring our dogs and not worry about them reacting to any other dog smells. if other dogs had been here, there was no evidence. i worry when going somewhere that some instructions are left out...not here. everything was explained very well on how to use everything. you do not always find that. the lake across the street seems like it would be alot of fun in warmer months. we came here to just relax and relax we did. what a comfortalbe home. and such a nice touch with the welcoming basket, for the humans and the dogs. you want a great place to get-away, with or without dogs, i would highly recommend this. you will not be disappointed.

I've stayed here on several occasions with friends to get away from the crazy hustle and bustle of the city. Great walks, people and scenery. Great spot especially when you want to include the four-legged family member as well. I highly recommend it.

This cottage is charming, clean, comfortable and warm. I was looking for a place to write, think and take advantage of nature and this hide-a-way exceeded my expectations. Whether solo like I was, with a lover or with a family, this cabin can accommodate you. There is plenty of space to stretch out, explore or to just cozy up around the beautiful gas fire place. -- No need to worry about logs and soot. The lake is just steps away. Birds gather in the trees outside the windows. There is a deck to sip your morning coffee on and a fire pit in the back yard for a night time experience under the stars. Grocery stores, restaurants, art shops, and wineries are nearby. You will be surprised how far away from civilization you feel like you are, but it is just minutes away. Oh, and your hosts are amazing. The cabin was ready for me upon arrival and all my questions were answered timely. Enjoy your stay you will want to come back often. I know I will!!!

This place is exactly as advertised. My boyfriend and I visited during the autumn leaves and it was so pretty down by the lake. We used the firepit out in back and the wood and starters were all stacked up and ready for us! A gorgeous Michigan wine basket was waiting when we came in which was so nice. And our dogs peanut and jj both loved running in and out of the little dog door to the pen. We will come again and again!
