Now Booking Summer Vacations at Enchanting, Historic Cottage on Lake Bellaire

Spotless, charming gem, right on the water. The best amenities of any VRBO I've rented. Everything for the comfort and ease of guests was thought of. Owner communication was timely and thorough. The history of the cottage was very interesting. Kitchen had everything. Decor was charming andwarm. Comfortable furnishings, beds and great towels! Beautiful gas fireplace tempted us to want to stay in all day and read. Area has so much to do in all seasons. Hiking, fishing, exploring. Kayaks on site! The sunsets were over the top. We will be back. Thank you, Jen for sharing your little bit of paradise.

The cottage was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Jen was available if we needed anything. The view of the lake was beautiful. The kitchen was well supplied.

It was very clean and newly updated, secluded right on the water and only 5 minutes from Bellaire. Perfect sunsets.

Superb! I needed a break from the monotony of life. This was the perfect place. It is set up beautifully, it’s very clean and tidy. The amenities were perfect. The location on Lake Bellaire was astounding. My favorite part was sitting on the wraparound porch facing the lake, watching and listening to nature and the ripples of water splashing the shoreline . I can’t say enough about this place. It was an oasis for a tired grandma. The lake was beautifully crystal clear. The leaves were falling to the ground softly. Perfection!

Absolutely fabulous! One of the best cabins we’ve ever stayed at. Spotless inside and out! Charming and inviting with an awesome history. So important is the comfort of the front room furniture and it was great.

The property was just as described! It was a quiet and relaxing weekend on Lake Bellaire. You can tell the love they put into renovating this old cottage!

The AhWaGa is exactly as described! And captures your heart! It really is Enchanting, with its integrity in its historical form, but updated just perfectly…. If I had my own cottage on a lake this is EXACTLY what I would want!! Cozy, with all the amenities you want!! The weather for us was not ideal, but staying here made it just perfect.. And we did get some beautiful sunsets!!!!! Jen the host is so attentive and is there for anything you need ,you feel like she is a friend looking out for you!! Everything was so clean , you have everything you need laundry all the stuff in the kitchen there’s even an old-school record player which we enjoyed! I can’t say enough about this property probably my favorite that I’ve ever rented. And we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful cottage on very nice lake! Owner was very responsive! We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!

Lovely cottage, great porch and close to the water. Had a wonderful stay.

There is no way to describe just how lovely this property is. It has history, but is updated to be modern with all top of the line appliances. It is beautifully decorated with nods to the history of the area and the cabin itself. The bed is firm, but comfortable. The provided kayaks and SUP boards are fun to use. You wake up to Loons calling and tiny waves lapping on the rocky shore, and close the day with Loons and the most beautiful sunsets. The lake is never overly busy. If you have your own boat you can dock right there. Or you can lounge on the dock (bring your own chairs and towels) and wade out in the shallow waters when you get too warm. Jen was a perfect host providing clear communication, great recommendations, and an easy rental process.

We have stayed here multiple times and could not ask for a better location to unwind and relax. The location is an easy drive to Charlevoix or Traverse City, and Bellaire itself has many cool spots to check out. The host takes great pride in the cleanliness of the home and it is well stocked with kitchen items for preparing your own meals.

Absolutely Amazing!!!! We could not ask for more from the views of the lake, the location and amenities. This was exactly what we needed to get away.

What a magical little piece of Northern Michigan Heaven!! Jen was an Amazing host, communication was superb and so friendly. Once we pulled in we already knew we were gonna fall in love with Ah-Wa-Ga and that is what we did!! The Fall leaves dancing to the ground, the water was like glass for two days and the little black squirrels running around and the lovely woodpeckers was magical!! The cottage is the first and oldest on the lake! The cottage was breathtaking and such a nostalgic feeling was everywhere!! Everything was perfect and so clean and beautiful!! We will be back again for another Fall getaway!! Thank you Jen!!! getaway!Just

This was our second stay at AhWaGa. Beautiful. This time we rented a pontoon boat from a local place and kept it overnight. Perfect since there is a wonderful dock at the cabin.

Everything we expected! Very close to the water and with a boat ramp. Best sunsets ever. So private and good area to walk. Everything was there that we needed and more. The owners took very good care during our long stay.

The property manager has done a brilliant job of updating a historical property with all the modern conveniences. Many people fantasize about experiencing northern Michigan the way it used to be. This cottage is as close as could be. This was our third visit, so I have seen the care the property manager gives this cottage and its guests. She is highly attuned to its maintenance and to making sure guests have what they need.
