Bellaire, Michigan
Merlin Hütte offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a renovated kitchen with new appliances, wood burning fireplace, washer and dryer, and a magical A-frame of windows with a view of the woods.
At Merlin Hütte there is a season for everyone.
Shanty Creek has a portfolio of five 18-hole championship courses at one propery. Hawk’s Eye (Robinson) , Schuss Mountain Course (Bowen), Cedar River (Weiskopf), The Legend (Palmer), and Summit Course (Diddel). In addition, other excellent courses are located nearby.
Winter sports are covered too. Schuss Mountain offers 42 runs and 8 lifts and includes 3 terrain parks. Summit Mountain offers 11 runs and 3 lifts and includes an Alpine tubing park. There are plenty of trails for cross country skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing . Those who love snowmobiling the Jordan Valley Trail System is just minutes away from Schuss Village.
Fifteen minutes away are the crystal clear waters of Torch Lake and in our opinion the best mountain bike/hiking trail in Michigan, Glacial Hills.
Bellaire is a 10 minute drive and is an awesome little town with the famous Shorts brewery and Mammoth Distillery as well as many other great restaurants and shops.
We enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival there were a few bugs here and there which is typical for a house in the woods. It didn’t deter us, we just took care of them. Everything else was clean and easy to use. Could have used a vacuum cleaner just to help keep the upstairs vacuumed. There was a push non electric vacuum but it was full of rice from previous use. The beds were very comfortable which was a plus! The rest of the place was nice and we enjoyed our time!
We had a wonderful time staying at this location with our family. The place was an open layout, clean, provided basic household needs and welcoming. The host was extremely easy to work with and friendly. We would recommend this place and location to others. Even though it is out of the owner’s control, our only hiccup was the pool at Lakeview was extremely dirty and outdated. We decided instead to stick to the beach which is a close drive. Overall, it was a great trip!
Was nice
We came up to golf. The location of the property was perfect. Five to ten minute drive to several of the courses in the area. We played two rounds each day and this allowed us to go back fix lunch and freshen up in between rounds.
Our family enjoyed our stay at Merlin Hutte. The property owners were very kind and helpful. The Chalet has a rustic and cozy feel. It was in a quiet location close to the local attractions. It’s also in a nice central location for day trips to popular Northern Michigan cities such as Traverse City, Chalevoix, Petoskey, etc. We have small children, so the pool access was a nice perk as well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Lovely chalet, great location. Enjoyed the nearby beaches, access to the heated pool. Campfires in the evenings. We had a wonderful time.
I had this trip planned in October for my family to ski the end of the season and could not be happier with how things worked out. We had a couple of friends join us since there was enough room for 8 easily and had great meals, skiing and memories. Very well provisioned with modern appliances and updates. The fireplace is incredible, with an additional lounging area down stairs for entertainment. Cable/satellite was listed on VRBO but was not available for college basketball games over the weekend, so make sure you have subscriptions for the entertainment you require from TV. Cable internet and Wi-Fi was sufficient for our group. Thank you Lindsey for sharing and great communication. Would definitely return if possible.
My family of 5 recently stayed at this property for a few nights. It's definitely “as advertised.” Overall great location to Schuss Mt for skiing & plenty of room for our family. We appreciated that the property had a variety of cooking supplies & bathroom toiletries (so many places forget about those!)
My group and I really enjoyed our stay at the Merlin Hütte! There were tons of things to do in the area and the Cabin was very accommodating having everything we need. Would definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay. The property had all the amenities. Plenty of room! Everyone enjoyed the stay. Thank you for making it a great weekend!
We really enjoyed staying in this property. It was well located to our destination and other attractions that we visited. It is a lovely rental house and we will recommend it to our friends and family who may want to stay in the Bellaire, MI area. It is very comfortable and in a beautiful setting of trees. The owners were super nice and answered all of our questions quickly!
No problems with this rental. Everything was clean and comfortable.
Great 4 bedroom cottage. Awesome deck, firepit and location. Beds were comfortable. Fully stocked, cleaning company didn't restock toilet paper so I would make sure to bring some. Overall great rental. Loved the decor inside and the two separate family rooms.
Nice house for family to stay in to go to a family reunion.
The location of the house was perfect for our Torch Lake getaway. We fit 10 adults comfortably. We hauled a pontoon and dropped it in at Butch's Tackle and Marine every day (free). We visited downtown Bellaire to hit up Shorts, Mammoth Distillery, & Bee Well Mead. We had a bonfire every night. The house was beautiful. Our only small issues were we needed toilet paper right away, there was only 1.5 rolls in the house and the walk out basement needs the dehumidifier running probably 24/7. I had to empty the tank every day. I would definitely stay here again and Lindsey seems like a great rental owner!
Seven girls stayed at the property for a bachelorette party and it was great!! Plenty of room and great accommodations.
Everything was great. Other than outside furniture/deck needing to be wiped down, zero complaints.
It would be helpful to have a handrail at the steps areas. Some boards were loose as one person tried to grab onto something and just had 2 partial knee replacements and I fell down 3 steps with no major injuries. Hand rail is really needed. New air conditioner was being fixed. We would do it again.
Great property with excellent owners. 5/5 would recommend.
It has been a great experience for the family. Kids loved it!
The kids were really impressed with this cabin. They loved the layout and rooms. The kitchen was very well stocked. We enjoyed the games that were available, too. This fit our family of 6 very well with good space to spread out.
