We had a great stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for hiking, dining and relaxing!
We had activities planned in the area and this listing proved to be both economical and convenient. The check in process and instructions provided left no questions or items unanswered. Very clean and comfortable. I would certainly recommend staying here.
This home has everything needed for an Up North getaway. We loved the location and the tree lined road. It's close to town and our favorite Shorts Brewery. The house is cozy,and most importantly, pet friendly!
Clean, well equipped, beautiful setting, very comfortable. Easy to book.

Great location and cozy atmosphere.
The house was perfect for a nice getaway weekend for my friends and me. We were able to explore the nearby trails, cozy up by the fire, and head downtown for great food, drinks, and stores. Thanks for opening up your home!
We had a great stay here. Very nice place and plenty of day trips to take from here. The owners are very responsive and really nice as well. We noticed when we arrived that the propane was almost empty, we contacted them and we had a new tank within the hour! Would definitely recommend staying here!
Great stay! Everything was as pictured in the house. Perfect location to Bellaire and lots of lakes. Bob and Amy were wonderful hosts with excellent communication.
This was our 2nd stay here, and we already booked our next stay for next year, we like it here a lot!
Nice clean house on a quiet road, can bike to Glacial Hills. Downtown Bellaire is really close. The owners are responsive and take good care of the property.
This is an adorable place! Great communication from the hosts! The place is nicer than the pictures. There’s a bunch of hiking and biking trails a half mile up the road. Lovely place!
Stayed two nights. AC was nice as first two units we visited on our 2 week trip did not. Liked that the house was not on a main through road, so noise was at a minimum. Everything was well stocked and would definitely return in the future.
This is our 3rd visit to this property. Robert and Amy were great hosts. Very accessible. Their property is spotless. The check in process is easy and were their check-out requests. Great location for bumming around Up North. Would definitely recommend.
The pictures don't do this place it's just desserts. Very clean and cozy. All the extras one might need during a stay away from home. Close to town and next to nature trails. Hosts are quick to respond to questions. If the need arises, I'll be back for sure.
The house exceeded my expectations! Lots of storage, well stocked, and the high ceilings in the living room were great. It felt so good to just sit on the front porch, in the sun or not (there's a fabric awning you can pull over the table), and be so close to a trailhead as well as downtown Bellaire. It was a nice perk to have access to the giant garage so our car wouldn't get so hot in the sun. This is a great place to stay and I would recommend to everyone AND stay again! :)
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My two sons and I came up for a fishing trip. The location is perfect with several lakes within a short distance. The pull through driveway was also ideal if you’re pulling a boat. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. All three of us decided this will be somewhere we go as often as possible. I was amazed at all of the amenities. Thank you for sharing this excellent property.
Totally enjoyed our stay here! Comfortable beds, fireplace, kitchen with anything you need and not too far from town! Beautiful woods, in fact outside every window that’s all you see. It was very peaceful and quiet. We didn’t get a chance to check out the trails down the road, but we used this as a home base to go to Traverse City, Mackinaw City, Petosky and Charlevoix. We made most of our meals there as the kitchen has everything you need and stuff you didn’t know you needed lol!! We didn’t need to communicate with the hosts, everything was as the directions and details stated, although from all the thoughtful details the hosts have done to the house I’m sure communicating would not have been an issue, they truly want you to enjoy your stay there. We loved it and hope to be back!
