Bellaire’s Best Rental Property

Group of 12 came up for a weekend golf getaway and we all loved it. The beds were comfy, there was plenty of entertaining space (inside and out), close to downtown/golf/ski and the check-in/out process was a breeze. Looking forward to coming back!

Quiet and peaceful

We enjoyed bringing our two families of teenagers. Everyone had space to themselves but the common spaces promoted long card games amongst everyone. We were able to prepare large family meals and store all our food in the pantry. The allowed garage space was a great bonus as we played cornhole during rainy days plus store our bikes plus golf clubs easily. Would definitely stay again.

Short vacation

3 couples and 6 kids stayed comfortably in this beautiful log home. Fully furnished, easy to use everything in the home. The fireplace outside was our perfect get away due to rain for our trip. Great indoor water park near by. Would stay here again!

Super cute lodge!

This lodge was the perfect place for my weekend getaway. It has everything you need to entertain yourself for the weekend; nice hot tub, games, movies, fire pit and the views are breathtaking. Only issue we had was their were no back up trash bags or paper towels to clean up with and had issues with getting in contact with the “correct” person while we were staying. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

Just what we needed!

We were looking for a place where our family could hang out and enjoy each others company and where everyone had enough space! Close to Traverse City, Torch lake, not far from Sleeping Bear. Beautiful! Don't miss the Spice Mill in Alden! Thank you for sharing your home! The games and firewood for the fire ring at night were just the finishing touch on a great stay!

Perfect lodging for a golf weekend

This property exceeded all expectations. It accommodated 8 people with ease, and had plenty of room for us to hang out when at the home. The bonfire and hot tub out back were great. The home is centered within the Shanty Creek resort and allows 5-10 minute drives to the local golf courses. I would recommended this home to anyone.

This home was very well maintained and very clean. We were very impressed. We had a boat with us that we towed to Torch each day. There was ample parking for a 23 foot boat and multiple cars. I would absolutely rent this home again.
