The property was so quaint w/lots of extra touches! It smelled amazing, had lots of candles. The pet items were soo cute even tho we didn’t take our pets. We saw deer every day. We needed a place to just be and this was the perfect place! We just lost my dad and just needed a place to relax! It was perfect for that and close enough to town when we felt like doing something! I would definitely recommend it to anyone! We would most definitely stay here again!
The house was cute and had all the items that we needed for the short stay. WI-FI was a great speed. Beds were comfortable and yard was great for our pups. We definitely stay again.
Just a wonderful and cozy home for the four of us! Wonderful kitchen, wonderful living/dining room, wonderful bedrooms, plus a wonderful back yard to relax in! Thank you for sharing your home!
Clean, Updated, Pet-Friendly Home in Ideal Location
We had a fantastic stay! The home was beautifully updated, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Its location couldn’t be more perfect, minutes from downtown Bellaire, making it super convenient to explore the area. It’s also set up wonderfully for families, including those with pets, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The property manager was friendly and very responsive, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again!

Thank you for such a nice review! We appreciate it!
What a wonderful stay we had at this house. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we could have hoped for. It felt like a home away from home! The living area was perfect for relaxing after a day of snowboarding, and the fully equipped kitchen made cooking breakfast together a delight. The location was ideal too; nestled in a peaceful neighborhood yet close to local attractions and dining options. Our host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. If you're looking for the perfect getaway spot, I highly recommend this lovely rental! Can’t wait to return! House is located close to town, perfect for walking to dinner. Everything you need after a day of adventure.
My spouse and I, along with my in-laws stayed at this property for an extended weekend. It was comfortable for all of us. This property was ideally located, close to downtown Bellaire (walking distance) and short driving distance to other sites (town of Alden, Torch Lake). The property was clean and had everything we needed. At first, we had difficulty locating the driveway. The instructions indicate to park in the back, but you had to turn down the side street and also turn on a private drive to locate the driveway. It wasn’t that intuitive. Overall, the property is well maintained but there were some holes in the walls from previous light or tv fixtures throughout the house. It doesn’t have central air, but there are portable air conditioning units in the living room and bedrooms. The units were pretty loud when they were on (so was a little tricky when trying to sleep), but it did keep the home cool - which worked great considering it was 90 outside. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would stay here again.
