Cottage holiday rentals in Clare

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!

Exactly as described. Had a comforting older home grandma feel. All the furniture was comfortable. Loved the recliners! Loved the foos ball, fireplace thingy in the basement, deck, outdoor fire pit and the wildlife! Had some frustration with the heating system. Theres a weird mix and match heating system with no written instructions on how to control the heating. There is no air conditioning at all which made for some discomfort on days it reached the 50s. Enjoyed our stay! Home was really clean! Love that bedding and furniture was not white!

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.

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!

Wow... Such a beautiful spot to wind down. Came for my husband's birthday weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better spot! Sarah was super sweet and helpful. House had ALL the amenities we needed too. We COOK on trips due to food sensitivities and the kitchen was very well equipped! House was spotless and very charming. Located on a beautiful large lake. We would certainly come back in a heartbeat!

Great family getaway! Clean, accurately described, plenty of space indoors and out. Amenities were more than adequate.

The Blue Gill Cottage was a beautiful place to spend Memorial Day weekend with our family! The location is so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed the beautiful lakefront view, kayaking and fishing during the day and bonfires at night! Barbara was a wonderful host who was quick to respond with any questions we had. We highly recommend! We plan on many more visits in the future!

We had a wonderful time! The hill down to the water is pretty steep, but the kids loved it. Unfortunately, the water was high and moving pretty fast, so we were unable to bring the kids out. Overall, we had a great time!

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!

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!!).

This was by far one of the best Airbnbs that we’ve ever rented. Thomas and Karen were kind and excellent hosts - their response times were lightening-fast, they answered all of our questions before booking, and addressed any minor issues we had during our 2-month stay quickly. They even sent us a baby bath for our infant son! Their home is comfy, spacious, and fully-stocked with essentials, linens, DVDS, and games for a comfortable stay. The kitchen especially has everything you could possibly need! The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Our dog had lots of room to run in the backyard and beyond in the lake bed. Even without the lake, the view is scenic and feels very private. Thomas and Karen were so welcoming — we highly recommend their home!

This is a lovely cottage on a very serene and quiet lake. We were here last year and loved it so much we came back this year. The host provided everything we needed for our stay and sitting on the deck was very peaceful.

We had a fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage! The space was clean, cozy, and incredibly well-organized, with a kitchen that was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake, and the surrounding area—close to everything, yet peaceful and relaxing. Nicole and Matthew were extremely responsive and helpful, making everything smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Erin has such a hospitable heart and it shows in her renting of the family cabin. Filled with many cute boho-esk touches and a plethora of accommodations, erins place really stood out in its entirety. Thank you for your flexibility and hospitality! My kids are already asking when we will be back!

Our family had a lovely stay at Chris's lake house. We were in town for the Wheatland Traditional Arts Festival so we were mainly just staying for the evenings. The inside was very clean when we entered and the stocked kitchen made meals easy to prepare. After we reached out to inquire about locating the lake access, Chris responded almost immediately which we really appreciated. The dock wasn't out yet but the view was still gorgeous. All in all it was a great place to stay and met all of our needs for the weekend. My only criticism would be to add curtains to the North facing windows as you can look directly into the common areas from the road, but other than that it was what we were expecting.

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!

The cottage was immaculately clean, with plenty of amenities that made us feel right at home. Excellent communication by the hosts again made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended, and we'll be back in the summer for sure!

Jenny’s place was exactly as described. Home was very clean and the area is very peaceful. Great weekend getaway!

Sherri was swiftly responsive each time I messaged her. The house is adorable, was very clean and tidy and offered many games to play while some ice fished. We would love to visit again someday.

Stephanie's place is exactly what you want if you want to get away and relax without a lot of stimulation. I work in GR and am often in larger cities, so this was just what me and my family needed. 45 minutes from Soaring Eagle, 3.5 miles from a very nice full grocery store where everyone is so friendly. The pictures don't do this place justice, it's way nicer in person. Right on the lake with amazing views. Will definitely be back if she'll have us.
