Drive on up and Breathe Bellaire...

Just 7 mins from Shanty Creek/Schuss, you'll be greeted inside by a warm, cozy home due to the in-floor heating throughout the entire 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's quite spacious and with the custom fireplace stonework and wood flooring, you're sure to feel at home away from home. We're in downtown, so you can walk from the front door to all of downtown Bellaire's fun, like Short's Brewery, Mammoth Distilling, BeeWell Cider etc. The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from the central location.

Relax in this spacious and beautiful home, ready for your group to spread out among 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. There's books and book nooks, board games with fun nights awaiting, and reclining comfy couches ready for movie night.

There's no TO-DO list when you check out. That's what the cleaning fee is for! Our awesome cleaners take care of everything so when it's time to check out, you don't have to worry about scrubbing the baseboards and sweeping the driveway :)

There's much more with hiking and biking trails nearby, Torch Lake Cellars Winery, and of course the beautiful lakes and waterways...

** BACKYARD AREA **
The 12 foot, Upper Peninsula handcrafted barrel sauna steals the show. It is wood-fired for a more authentic Finnish sauna experience and made with tongue and groove western red cedar that smells amazing.Come relax your mind and body by getting in the heat and sweating life's toxins out. Sauna benefits are too many to list here. All we know is you leave feeling completely rejuvenated and sleep like a baby!

The sauna includes a changing room before the larger hot room space. It has a 7 foot ceiling so even the tallest in your group can stand up. It seats 6+ at a time, and you can pour water on the rocks with bucket and ladle to create a gentle steam. There is even a tub for cold plunges if you're ready for it!

The fire pit area offers the biggest Solo Stove we could get. Once you get the fire going, it is smokeless and is a real treat to hang out at- no dodging the smoke! With adjustable adirondack chairs and string lights around the fire pit area, it's a great spot to relax between sauna sessions and hangout at the end of the day.

Last but not least the back deck itself is expansive and might be your new favorite spot. Lighting is well thought out with solar post lights and string lights along the house. There is a large and comfortable 8-seater tall dining table, complete with propane fire insert. You will love game night and drinks with friends out here. The BBQ grill always is clean and has propane stocked (extra in garage).

** THE HOUSE **
As you pull out of town and down our side street, you'll notice how peaceful our property is, surrounded by trees in it's own little private wooded space. Pull into the driveway and take a breath of that fresh Bellaire with ample parking for your group.

    Beautiful home in a great location! We enjoyed having access to the dock, sauna, and fire pit area outside. Inside the kitchen and bedrooms were spacious and the entire home was very clean. It was very nice to be able to walk downtown to the shops and restaurants.

    Because of the weather, we were stuck inside more than we planned but the house gave us plenty of room to spread out, lots of amenities, and everyone enjoyed warming up in the sauna from time to time. What a neat place and amazing location!

    This house is GORGEOUS and in a great location. There are thermostats in every room, which allows for all to be comfortable. The outdoor area is very nicely done - high end decking, lots of lighting and the sauna was a great way to wind down after a day on the slopes. Not too far from the downtown area, if the weather was decent it's just a five minute walk. Very nice place, highly recommended!

    Absolutely beautiful home in perfect location. You can’t help but smile as soon as you walk in the house. The open layout is great for gathering and relaxing with great features throughout the house. It was sparkling clean, super nice communications with owner and easy checking in and out. Everything was top notch including heated tile floors. Our family had a wonderful weekend and highly recommend this amazing home for a great stay.

    Location, location, location!!!! This house was immaculate. They have thought of everything! Bikes, Kayaks, Sauna, games and the house feels like your in the country but just steps from town and the river. We brought our boats and had no problem with room. The driveway was long and provided room for 3 boats and 4 trucks. The trails are close by we rented E-bikes and could ride them to the trails from the store in town. The master bedroom is so big, bright and cozy. I would stay again. They were wonderful hosts with a beautiful place to stay.

    This home is just perfect. It has many extras that are so thoughtful and makes it feel like home. Our family had a great time on the deck and around the fire pit. We also enjoyed using the kayaks. We walked downtown many times and were close enough to many areas to take day trips.

    We really enjoyed our week in Bellaire. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked! We spent days at Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch lake/Alden and Petosky. The house is walkable to the downtown for good food, drinks and an adorable little toy store! Thank you for your hospitality on such a wonderful stay!

    This house was truly amazing. Extremely clean and well appointed, and within walking distance of everything you’d want in Bellaire (maybe a 7min walk to Short’s). The house was quite large and comfortable, with really nice furniture and top notch bathrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked and they also have a really nice coffee bar. There is also an excellent outdoor area that is comfortable and quiet, you’d never know you’re five minutes from downtown. They also include a really nice sauna. The owners are great communicators who share lots of info about what to do locally. Would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. The house is really a gem.
