Bellaire, Michigan
This rustic log cabin is the perfect northern Michigan retreat for you. It is rustic, yet clean and comfortable. You will feel like you are 'up north.' The cabin sits on 203 feet of secluded frontage. There are no homes directly to the south and a wooded barrier to the north. Most of the opposite shoreline is undeveloped. In the morning, you will hear the loons on the lake. You will enjoy beautiful views of the lake during the day and on those moonlit summer nights. Please make note that we only use VRBO for rental bookings.
Regarding covid-19 you can see that our property is socially distanced based on the privacy you have. Please feel free to ask us about what we are doing for covid-19. My wife and I don't outsource the cleaning. As proud owners, we personally do all the cleaning and turnover.
In addition to the beautiful frontage, there are several championship golf courses, restaurants, wineries, and quaint shops nearby. Traverse City is just 40 minutes away and Charlevoix is only 20 minutes away.
Intermediate Lake is an all sports lake. The lake is six miles long and offers excellent fishing for smallmouth, largemouth, walleye, pike and panfish. In addition, it offers great watersport activities. It is the southern most lake in the upper chain of lakes. This lake warms up much faster than some of the surrounding bigger lakes. It runs parallel to Torch lake. Torch lake is listed as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
This property has a swim platform, nice stable dock, lawn furniture, picnic table, and a fire pit. A row boat is available for guest use. We have a great beach area with lots of sand for the kids. The lake bottom is sandy with no weeks. The beach offers a gradual drop off. The bottom is 5' deep at the end of the dock (72 feet out). All in all, it offers great swimming for the kids. Sorry but pets are not allowed.
Also, we have a newer 15' crestliner fishing boat with a 4 stroke 25hp engine available for rent. This boat is a fishing machine with scotty rod holders, live well, casting deck and many more great options. In addition, we have kayaks available to rent. Please ask about the details and pictures if interested in either of these.
Each year the owners take pride in some type of update. 2019 included a refinished screened in porch as well as a 12,000 BTU Carrier split air conditioning system.
Wireless Internet is available.

Thank you! Thank you! Todd and Julie for the beauty and enjoyment we experienced as we stayed in your cottage this October. The warm and cozy fireplace, the lake view with visiting white swans and the bald eagle cruising over the water, are memories we will treasure. The peak of the fall colors from the screened-in porch was unbelievable! We were blessed with this opportunity you provided.
My wife and I stayed at Todd and Julie's cabin for a week. There were as many as six adults staying at any one time. It was spacious enough for all of us to relax in. The property is very quiet with a beautiful view of Intermediate Lake. There is a nice outdoor sitting area around a firepit. It was very clean with all the basic amenities. There is only one bathroom, and the hot water heater has a limited capacity. So some coordination is needed as far as shower use. There is no washer/dryer, but a laundromat is located close by in Bellaire. Although the cabin is somewhat secluded, Bellaire is just down the road. We enjoyed breakfast at The Lunch Box restaurant and coffee at M88 Morning Grind. Short's Brewery is very well known. A large Family Fare supermarket is within a few minutes' drive. Todd is an excellent communicator and promptly answered questions before and during our stay. I recommend this vacation cabin very highly for a family stay as well as for just adults who want a quiet, peaceful lakeside cabin experience.
Nice home. Probably in need of minor updates. Owner was very responsive to questions, We had to supply our own bedding and towels. We were not aware that the home has a 36” wide shower stall only. We are all over 6 ft tall. Kind of a deal breaker for a return trip. Great Lake frontage, close to town. Overall a nice time! Slept well!
This was are third yr staying at this property and we enjoy it there, and love the area!!
Grew up coming to this cottage as a kid. It did not disappoint. Very quiet, very quaint. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Todd
We were looking for a beach house to spend a week kayaking, paddle boarding & hiking. This location was perfect. Great sandy beach, beautiful lake connected to the chain of lakes, close to Bellaire with great food & drinks and close to Glacial Hills (excellent and well-marked hiking trails). It's also the perfect spot to sit and read a book and relax. Tucked away right off of M-88 in a lovely location with plenty of space for our vehicle loaded with kayaks & bikes. Very private. The firepit at night was a real treat in the cool evenings and the moon over the lake from the end of the dock - well, it was just spectacular. Todd was responsive and provided clear instructions pre-visit and during our stay. The lake house was exactly as described, rustic (super charming) and extremely clean. I can't think of one thing I would change from this trip. We would love to visit again as our calendar allows.
It’s a beautiful cottage on a nice lake with owners that take pride in it. Easy renting through Vrbo!!!
Location is nicely situated about 3 miles north of Bellaire just off M-88 directly across from boat launch. Spent a week golfing and fishing. Plenty of courses nearby to choose from. Caught 6 different species of fish but nothing big enough to write home about. Loved the fire pit at night. You could tell that the owners put a lot of TLC into their home and grounds. All in all a very memorable stay.
Beautiful, private property. Charming log cabin with nice beach area.
I only gave this 5 stars because 10 weren't available. The cabin was super clean, quiet and private. The owners were very nice easily accessible and wonderful to work with. If your looking for a Northern MI lake cabin this is the place to be! Can't wait to come back soon.
Enjoyed our time at this quaint log cabin. The location is awesome. Very private lakefront home. Just 3 miles from downtown Bellaire with cute shops , Shorts Brewery, great bakery, ice cream shop, etc. Just a 15 minute ride to Dockside Inn on Torch Lake. While fishing wasn’t great, there is a lot of water to fish in. The boat launch is right across the lake from the cabin. Todd was great to communicate with . We plan to return
