About this property
Wooded & Quiet, but Downtown. Spacious Home w/ Smokeless Fire Pit, Barrel Sauna
Drive on up and "Breathe Bellaire"...
Just 7 mins from Shanty Creek/Schuss, you'll be greeted inside by a warm, cozy home due to the in-floor heating throughout the entire 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's quite spacious and with the custom fireplace stonework and wood flooring, you're sure to feel at home away from home. We're in downtown, so you can walk from the front door to all of downtown Bellaire's fun, like Short's Brewery, Mammoth Distilling, BeeWell Cider etc. The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from the central location.
Relax in this spacious and beautiful home, ready for your group to spread out among 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. There's books and book nooks, board games with fun nights awaiting, and reclining comfy couches ready for movie night.
There's no "TO-DO" list when you check out. That's what the cleaning fee is for! Our awesome cleaners take care of everything so when it's time to check out, you don't have to worry about scrubbing the baseboards and sweeping the driveway :)
There's much more with hiking and biking trails nearby, Torch Lake Cellars Winery, and of course the beautiful lakes and waterways... WELCOME to the highly sought after "BREATHE BELLAIRE":

It seats 6+ at a time, and you can pour water on the rocks with bucket and ladle to create a gentle steam. There is even a tub for cold plunges if you're ready for it!
The fire pit area offers the biggest Solo Stove we could get. Once you get the fire going, it is smokeless and is a real treat to hang out at- no dodging the smoke! With adjustable adirondack chairs and string lights around the fire pit area, it's a great spot to relax between sauna sessions and hangout at the end of the day.
Last but not least the back deck itself is expansive and might be your new favorite spot. Lighting is well thought out with solar post lights and string lights along the house.

Beautiful property in an optimal location. The home is lovely and very well stocked. The hosts were very responsive and are very friendly.We would definitely stay here again.
Location was perfect! The house was clean and the host was very responsive to my messages! A beautiful place to stay in the winter and I’m sure in the summer as well!
Great home, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. House was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Well managed. Owner was very responsive to requests for information on the house and surrounding area. Definitely would stay again.
Beautiful home in a great location! We enjoyed having access to the dock, sauna, and fire pit area outside. Inside the kitchen and bedrooms were spacious and the entire home was very clean. It was very nice to be able to walk downtown to the shops and restaurants.
Because of the weather, we were stuck inside more than we planned but the house gave us plenty of room to spread out, lots of amenities, and everyone enjoyed warming up in the sauna from time to time. What a neat place and amazing location!

Very nice words Brandon, we are so glad you had a great time and please come back anytime. -Bryce
Had a perfect visit in Bellaire exploring the local golf courses. Perfect location to all the area has to offer. Would use this property again whenever necessary.
House was clean, well stocked, and the sauna was perfect! The upstairs sitting area was great to read a book and take a quick work meeting! Will be booking here again.
We stayed for my Wife's 40th birthday with some friends and family and had an amazing stay. The property is in a great location, and has some amazing features.
8 of us stayed and had plenty of space to spread out or stay together and play games. We’ve been coming to Bellaire for over 30 years and this is truly one of the nicest places this close to the adorable downtown!
Great location for Bellaire, and a great property.
We had a very wonderful stay at this location. The house was everything we hoped for, and being in very easy walking distance to downtown Bellaire was great. Kitchen was a great for cooking.
We had a wonderful time at Bryce’s house. The location was great, the furniture was very comfortable, the photo wall was lots of fun, and the whole house was very clean. We would definitely recommend the house.
Here is a cleaned-up version that keeps your voice but fixes grammar and flow:This was by far the nicest VRBO home I have ever stayed in. It may honestly be the nicest home I have stayed in, period. Everything about the design of the home is so well thought out. You can tell the owners put a lot of care and intention into creating this place.For example, the entire home has heated floors. There are large windows everywhere, bringing in tons of natural light. The décor is gorgeous, and the home strikes a perfect balance between cozy and functional. There is great technology for relaxing, including huge TVs and comfortable chairs, along with quiet spaces that are perfect for reading or working remotely.The bathrooms were incredible, with three beautiful showers and a huge bathtub.We also saw deer roaming constantly in the wooded area behind the house, which added something really special to the experience.I had a couple of questions during our stay, and the response time from the host was extremely fast.The house is close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough out to be peaceful and quiet.The dry sauna was amazing. It was my first time using a wood stove heated sauna, so it took a little learning at first, but once I figured it out it was incredible.Thank you for sharing such a beautiful home with us.
The property was amazing, really beautiful and unique. The location was perfect. Everyone was comfortable and had a great time. Can’t wait to stay again.
This house is GORGEOUS and in a great location. There are thermostats in every room, which allows for all to be comfortable. The outdoor area is very nicely done - high end decking, lots of lighting and the sauna was a great way to wind down after a day on the slopes. Not too far from the downtown area, if the weather was decent it's just a five minute walk. Very nice place, highly recommended!

We loved reading your review Andrea! Welcome back anytime. -Bryce
This was a great place to stay! Plenty of room and clean! Our entire family enjoyed our time at the house. Close to many great places in northern Michigan! Bryce was very responsive and great to deal with. Would stay here again!
This home is just perfect. It has many extras that are so thoughtful and makes it feel like home. Our family had a great time on the deck and around the fire pit. We also enjoyed using the kayaks. We walked downtown many times and were close enough to many areas to take day trips.
We really enjoyed our week in Bellaire. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked!
We spent days at Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch lake/Alden and Petosky. The house is walkable to the downtown for good food, drinks and an adorable little toy store!
Thank you for your hospitality on such a wonderful stay!

Hi! My wife and I love to travel and see new things, especially in (underrated) Northern Michigan!
Why they chose this property
Breathe Bellaire is a very nice, spacious home with tons of room for the family to spread out and make memories. You can truly walk just a few minutes to downtown Bellaire, and enjoy Short's Brewing, Mammoth Distillery and more.
The outdoor grill and dining area with propane fire feature is an awesome space to relax with family and play one of the many games we have at the property.
The home has access to the river as well.
