About this house rental

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 :)

** LOCATION **
Walk to food and drink downtown, like:
-Short's Brewery
-Mammoth Distilling
-The Corner Bistro
-Hello Vino
-Bee Well Mead and Cider
-much more

** 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.

Enter your custom door lock code to enter the breezeway, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. You'll walk up a couple steps into the main living quarters, with living area, dining area, and kitchen together in an open concept, newly furnished space.

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.

House is so beautiful and unique! We loved the outdoor sauna! The open concept 1st floor including the fireplace were perfect for our family celebration weekend. Hosts responded to emails very quickly. The even shoveled the decks and plowed twice!!! We hope to come back and visit again!
