The house is large and fits a big group well. It was wonderful that it allows dogs. The view off the deck was amazing. The house was very clean and the multiple bathrooms served our group well. The house is well outfitted. It had everything you could ever need: towels, sheets, pillowcases, kitchenware, toiletries, two kitchens etc. Very short drive to Bellaire and Torch lake. Amy was an excellent communicator.

Wow, what a great place for our family gathering! The price was very reasonable. I thought the property was even better than the listing photos! The view and the surrounding land was beautiful. Backs right up to a nature preserve with trails. Lot's of space. All the amenities you could need, especially in the kitchen! We cooked nearly every night. Very close to Bellaire but feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Would definitely stay again. Communication with the host was always timely.

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.
Just before sunrise from the driveway.

Fall Trip

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.

Excellent family spot

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.

Fantastic Place and Location

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.
