A perfect 10!!!!Amy went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely wonderful!! Her beautiful home was immaculate, and had everything you could possibly need and more!! Her communication skills were excellent, and she was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly. She had an easy check-in and check-out process. We absolutely loved the location as it was close to everything, but still was in the country. Loved that she’s a dog lover, and allowed us to bring our sweet dogs. We all loved the hiking trails, and being so close to them!We can’t wait to go back!!Wish we could have stayed longer!!Thank you Amy!

Great stay and good communication

We had a great stay here. Very nice place and plenty of day trips to take from here. The owners are very responsive and really nice as well. We noticed when we arrived that the propane was almost empty, we contacted them and we had a new tank within the hour! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great house for Bellaire vacation

This was our 2nd stay here, and we already booked our next stay for next year, we like it here a lot! Nice clean house on a quiet road, can bike to Glacial Hills. Downtown Bellaire is really close. The owners are responsive and take good care of the property.

Close to Bellaire MI, quiet tucked away location.

Stayed two nights. AC was nice as first two units we visited on our 2 week trip did not. Liked that the house was not on a main through road, so noise was at a minimum. Everything was well stocked and would definitely return in the future.

Making Bellaire Easy

This is our 3rd visit to this property. Robert and Amy were great hosts. Very accessible. Their property is spotless. The check in process is easy and were their check-out requests. Great location for bumming around Up North. Would definitely recommend.

Great Place, Very Cozy.

The pictures don't do this place it's just desserts. Very clean and cozy. All the extras one might need during a stay away from home. Close to town and next to nature trails. Hosts are quick to respond to questions. If the need arises, I'll be back for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Felton

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this 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.

What makes this property unique

This house is a nice, quiet place to stay, but so close to so many great activities! You'll love coming back over and over for your favorite things to do as well as exploring new treasures every time.
