My family and I just came home from staying at the Allen Beach Bungalows. We normally like to stay on Lake Michigan for our family vacation, but this cottage and Intermediate Lake have definitely made us change our minds. Sherry was very helpful and always available to answer questions. I was nervous that the cottages would be too small, but they were the perfect size for our large family (8 adults and 9 children). We had everything we needed and could have easily stayed longer. The lake was perfect for swimming, boating, tubing and skiing. Our kids "discovered" an island in the middle of the lake and can't wait to visit it again next year. The city of Bellaire is just a few miles away and is really a cute and friendly town. We ate at Toonies for my daughter's birthday and it was wonderful! We also recommend Classic Pizza in Central Lake. We had it twice and it was terrific! I would highly recommend Allen Beach Bungalows to anyone who asked.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

Wow! We cannot thank you enough for providing us with everything we needed to have a wonderful Michigan vacation. The beach was perfect for all the cousins to enjoy. The sandy beach and shallow waters for play were clean and refreshing! We loved how gently the water sloped to deeper depths. This made for fun in the sun for us all. The "bungalows" were darling. Very clean and well stocked for all of our cooking needs. Our evening were spent by the campfire or playing games around the large dining table. The spacious main cabin allowed everyone to par-take in our family fun. Your property manager Sherry was most accommodating to our many questions!! Thank you again for the opportunity to visit your "little piece of heaven" And that it is! We will be back! Den & Angela
