Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space perfect for families and groups. The home boasts a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, a breakfast bar, and a coffee station complete with a Keurig and syrups for your morning pick-me-up. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for relaxation and fun. The main living room features a sectional sofa and a smart TV, ideal for movie nights or cozy evenings by the gas fireplace. A second living room offers additional space to relax, read, or play board games. For even more entertainment, head to the separate game room, equipped with a pool table, dartboard, smart TV, and various games.

The sleeping arrangements include a king bed in the primary suite, a queen bed in the second bedroom, and two twin/full bunk beds in the third bedroom.

The home also offers central heating and air conditioning, an in-unit washer and dryer, complimentary toiletries, and free Wi-Fi for added convenience.

The outdoor space is just as inviting as the interior. With direct river access, four kayaks and life vests included, and a sprawling yard, you can enjoy endless hours of fun by the water. For those who prefer to stay on land, the firepit and front porch provide the perfect spots to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Parking is a breeze, with space for three vehicles and a boat trailer.

We’re thrilled to announce the addition of a brand-new hot tub, providing the ultimate spot to unwind after a day of exploring or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Whether soaking under the stars or starting your morning with a relaxing dip, the hot tub adds a special touch to your stay.

Discover unique shops, indulge in local cuisine, or sample craft beer at Short’s Brewing Company, a favorite among visitors and locals alike. For outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers endless activities, from hiking and biking trails to fishing and boating on Torch Lake, just a short drive away. Bring your boat along on your trip and launch it at one of the nearby launches to explore the lakes. In the winter, head to nearby Shanty Creek or Schuss Mountain Resorts for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.

Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, Chain of Lakes Retreat has everything you need for a memorable getaway. Book your stay today and experience the best of Northern Michigan!

    Plenty of room for a crowd….bed space and hangout space. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything required to cook the crew a meal or two. Very relaxing!

    One of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at. Great location, could mountain bike and paddle board, right from location. Easy walk to downtown Bellaire. House was beautiful and lots of special touches and amenities. Girls weekend and we played Reverse Charades and had a dance party. Definitely staying here again!!

    We had a fantastic time in Bellaire at this property! The communication was excellent, the house was beautiful, and the supplies provided were excellent! The host provided beach towels, kitchen and laundry supplies, and the house is beautifully furnished! We walked into town several evenings for drinks, dining, and shopping. It is a fabulous small town with easy travel to Torch Lake! We will definitely be coming back to Bellaire and will hopefully stay in this house!

    This was a beautiful place and very clean. We loved the location, hot tub, kayaking and it was big enough for our group of 12. We only had a couple of minor hiccups. The guest before us broke the coffee pot but the host made sure we got one right away. It was too big but we found a workaround for it. It was nice that they tried to resolve it immediately. Also, if you have a full group, I would bring an extra pack of toilet paper. There were 5 small rolls for 12 people for 4 days and we ran out by end of day 2.

    The property is newly constructed and thoughtfully furnished. The layout is excellent for a large group (we were 8, two families) and there are spaces where we could all hang out together or find some privacy. Belair is a great link to the area, we did the suspension bridge at Bolne Mountain and hired a boat locally (M88) and got through to Lake Torch. If you are looking for a base to explore all that lake life has, this is it.

    The house was was well appointed and spotless. Our only suggestion is to offer some plasticware, plates and cups for kids. Otherwise furnishings were in great shape and the kitchen provided everything we needed to cook. Kayaks with life vests were great fun. We enjoyed the fire pit (bring your own wood and grill sticks) and spent lots of time on the dock too! We were disappointed that when we asked the property management company if the property had a grill...they said no. The property does in fact have a brand new grill. The home also offers a Keurig as well as brew coffee pot. The listing only shows a Keurig. Additionally, the listing indicates there is room to park several cars in the driveway, but there is no driveway and you need to park on the front lawn. Unfortunately, when we arrived the lawn was knee high. Luckily the local property manager, Natalie, quickly responded to our concerns regarding the lawn, and made sure it was mowed the next morning. She also handled a couple of other small items and was very helpful during our stay. Overall, the home was very nice and and we enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and the location to downtown Bellaire was so convenient! There's also a walking path and playground not far. Nice weekend getaway.
