Easy walk into Bellaire town for coffee, drinks, and dinner. Loved the outdoor sauna and cold plunge. The fire pit was also nice to hang out around. The access to the river is via an easement, so don’t expect the views from the backyard. However, the dock isn’t far and there are kayaks to use and easy to rent a boat from Riverside Marina. House comes equipped with plenty of towels, blankets and A/C.

This property was very clean and very spacious for our group. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the gas grill is in very bad shape and should be replaced. We tried to grill hamburgers on it and it was so bad it caught everything on fire. We did call and they had someone come over the next day to clean the grill. Otherwise we had a great time.

Perfect for our extended family of 10. Very clean with nice towels, decent linens, plenty of pots, pans, and knives to cook with. Coffee bar and kitchen were well stocked, they had a fishing pole (we bought worms and the kids had a blast off the dock), yard games, and a smart TV that we signed into our YTTV account with for morning news and world cup matches.The dock worked well for my brother-in-law’s pontoon. Torch Lake sandbar was fun! Internet was as described - with all of us on there it was slow. I had a couple of meetings and after the first one glitched I went to McDonalds. Cell service isn’t great, but every place has WiFi.

We had a great annual cousin couples vacation, at this lovely home in Bellaire.So many amenities…Fire table on deck, for morning cups of coffee.Smokeless fire pit for evenings.Sauna was frequently used and enjoyed - appreciated the large supply of cut firewood.Kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed to prepare and serve breakfast and dinners.Beautiful decor throughout the home, with attention to comfort items - couches, pillows and throws.One thing wasn’t noticed/not indicated when we chose this home, was that all bedrooms are on the second level and two of the bathrooms (one in the master suite and the second is shared) and the transitional steps between entry, 3/4 bathroom (located in laundry room) and decks on the home’s main level. As older adults, a floor plan would be a helpful detail on the home’s listing.The home’s location is excellent, at the end of a road, secluded and in the mornings we enjoyed the wildlife wandering out of the surrounding woods and it was very convenient for day trips to the surrounding towns for dinners, sightseeing, lake beaches, browsing gift and vintage shops. The most delicious dinner was at Pearl’s, (a do not miss restaurant) and we often met for cocktails, lunches and music at The Golden Nugget, Oasis and Moose Lodge (preferred bars that locals frequent). We put a small boat in at the dock, ventured through the grassland (huge eagle nests) and accessed the adjoining lakes.Thank you to our attentive host, Robert!

Excellent stay in Bellaire!

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!

Great hideaway!

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!
