Amazing property. Beautiful views from the deck, spacious, well maintained, and is well stocked with pretty much everything you could need. Close proximity to downtown Bellaire and a short drive to Torch Lake or Traverse Bay.
Excellent house for our family - 7 adults, 7 kids & a dog. Kitchen is very well equipped. Washer & dryer were a great help. Beautiful hill-top location, very roomy deck and easy access to Glacial Hills Trails. Owners are very friendly and always responded promptly to our questions.
This was the second year we have stayed at this house. It is great for our large family of 16. We love that itâs private and has lots of outdoor space for the kids. Grandkids went on a bear hunt and scavenger hunt on the trails in the surrounding woods, and played a nightly wiffle ball games in the front yard. Games in the garage were a hit too with an ongoing popashot basketball competition that lasted the whole week. Owner keeps it well stocked with grocery items as well as dishes, cooking utensils and lots of towels and blankets.
Everything described is accurate. Place has an everything you would need for a large group. Fully stocked with kitchen appliances and games to keep everyone occupied and the deck is great. Open space made it feel like we werenât on top of each other. This place is a great value.
We had a good stay at this home. I apologized to the owner for the damages and we truly did not mean to cause this much of a mess for him as he was a great host. I didn't know of some of these damages that occurred and we are happy to accommodate whatever needs to be done payment wise.
The best vacation rental we have stayed at. Plenty of space for extended family. We were wondering how equipped the kitchen would be since we were there for Thanksgiving. The kitchen lacks for nothing! They even had 2 meat thermometers. Our grandkids had a blast sledding! The Christmas decorations got us in the holiday spirit. The hosts were great and responded quickly to any requests or questions.
This is a great property, with great hosts. The location is perfect. Very close to town (Bellaire), but very secluded at the same time. This is our second year there, and we could not be happier with this great VRBO listing.
Absolutely wonderful lodge! Beautiful view, and great amenities.
Loved the lodge. The view from the windows that covered the entire front of the lodge was spectacular! The large deck was awesome. The most beautiful sunrises every morning! The lodge is spacious, and stocked with everything you could ever need! Lots of comfortable seating in common rooms and very spacious bedrooms. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean and modern. Loved the coffee/tea stations. Lots of entertainment offered around the lodge: foosball, billiards, air hockey, competition basketball set, corn hole,, many many board games and card games available. Access to numerous towns/cities and Torch Lake ideal (30 mins). Weâll be back!!
We were here for a bacholoer party/golf trip and this place was the perfect spot for us! House and property were amazing. Very clean and for 15-17 guys we had more than enough room and were very comfortable here! House was fully stocked with everything we needed plus some! We will def be looking into renting this again for golf trips and family trips in the future. The hosts were very accommodating and very quick to respond anytime I reached out! I Would give it 10 stars if I could!
We were having a family reunion. This house accommodated us wonderfully. They were stocked with everything you could possibly need in regards to toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry products. We had ample towels, etc⊠We enjoyed the pool table, basket ball game and foosball in the garage. Ample seating and parking, They provided pack n plays and high chairs. Beautiful views. Responsive owners. We would love to come back.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The owners generously go over and above to provide anything you might need or desire for your large group. The view is so peaceful and beautiful. The kids enjoyed playing with the air hockey and basketball. There was ample space for all 19 of us. Hosts are quick to respond to any questions you might have. I highly recommend this vacation rental.
Had an absolute blast staying here with extended family and friends. There was everything we could possibly need at the house. It was very clean when we arrived. The mountain bike/hiking trails are such a great feature; thoroughly enjoyed being able to just jump on a bike whenever and enjoy the trails.
Our family of 9 had a great time at this property. We had enough room to have our space, but also had so many things to do at the house and in the area. I highly recommend.
We needed a place to stay for our annual family week while our house was under renovation. This did not disappoint. Close to Bellaire and you can walk the trails from the driveway. Loved Mammoth Tasting Room and Shorts for dining. If you want to cook in, they have everything you will need. Excellent stay!
This place was great for a large group to stay. Very well stocked house with everything you could need. Large area by the fire pit for lawn games as well as plenty of outdoor seating on the deck. The pictures of this posting donât do it justice, but the view was great. The garage had some fun games which was a nice plus when it was raining. I would definitely come back to this place again.
Excellent property. We have stayed at this location several times & it has always been perfect! Multiple generations staying together while visiting other relatives in the area. We love being able to prepare meals here for all of us to enjoy. We plan on staying here again.
Another amazing trip. We love staying in this house as they have all the comforts of home! The location of this house makes it easily accessible to several different ski resorts!
Large living area. Loved all the amenities. Well stocked. Beautiful views and good location. Second time coming to this property and looking forward to a third time.
Amy and I have been married for 34 years and have two adult children and one grandson. I'm a pastor, and Amy cleans houses for a living (mostly our three short-term rentals.) We enjoy traveling, entertaining, and of course, playing with our grandson! We spend our summers in a fifth-wheel camper on our property.
We moved to Bellaire from Grand Rapids 30 years ago. We just love the little village of Bellaire. It's great for outdoor activities, like golfing, skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, swimming, boating, etc, but there are also lots of great places to eat and several recreational opportunities, like the bowling alley/laser maze/arcade, and the movie theater. For its size, there's a ton to do! And if you're into craft beverages, you'll find them in abundance with Short's Brewery, BeeWell Mead and Cider, Torch Lake Cellars, and Mammoth Distilling.
We designed this house to take advantage of the amazing views. The driveway isn't for the faint of heart, but it's a small price to pay for the breathtaking sunrises in the morning. It's a true, Up-North home with lots of knotty pine, hardwood floors, and tile. There are no neighbors, except for the abundant wildlife.
