No drinking allowed in the hot tub! Spilled beverages can change the PH of the system and broken glass is obviously not fun. =(
16 people total are allowed in the house, including babies and kids. We don't have room for more than 8ish adults total, so just a heads-up!

The rental was amazing, plenty of room for all of us, kitchen was well stocked, hot tub was very enjoyable after skiing, home was spotless. Host was very helpful & responsive. Would stay again when in the area.
Our whole family enjoyed staying in this home. Very quiet, peaceful and a clean home that allowed us to enjoy family time in the evening. We also enjoyed Torch lake and Bellaire lake (access from the home). We enjoyed the beach, cornhole and a family volleyball game. This was a great family vacation.
Overall it was a good stay. We had 2 families with a total of 10 people and it was the perfect size. There are definitely some things that need updated and worked on but nothing major!
Great place. I love the windows in the back of the house, looking out into the woods. It’s snowed a lot and it was a winter in wonderland. Very peaceful spot within the woods. The home was very comfortable and clean! I can’t wait to return.
Our family (with children, spouses & grandkids had a great reunion here. There's so much to do at the home & in the area. Highlights were the beach pass (with pickleball too) & pool pass, & a day renting a pontoon boat on Torch Lake.The home nicely fit us all. We loved the downstairs room for the kids & the pool & ping pong tables. It was a lovely stay. Thanks much!
Overall the house was an awesome experience. It accommodated 5 adults and 6 kids easily, with a very well stocked kitchen and accommodations to keep all entertained while not on the ski hill. Access to the resort pools was a great bonus part of the experience. One caution, the drive way is very steep so during the winter months, 4 wheel/all wheel drive is probably necessary.
Hey, I'm Kelly! My husband, Matt, and I have owned vacation rentals since 2008, but we've always dreamed of owning a cabin up north in Michigan. I'm from the Flint area (Grand Blanc) and we have tons of family and friends who live in the Mitten, even though we currently live in Florida with our three boys. =)
Why they chose this property
Our boys love skiing, fishing, and watersports and we love to play golf too, so this was the perfect spot to combine everyone's favorite things. We get great use out of the house with all our family and friends, and thought that others might like it, too. It's nestled in the woods, but not so far out of the little town of Bellaire that there's nothing to do.
What makes this property unique
It's huge! We have 3,400 sq. ft. of living space to take advantage of. Trust us! We like space when we travel, so having the kids downstairs with the big bonus game room with their own giant bedroom and bathroom makes a difference. Adults can play euchre and have some drinks in front of the fireplace or sit in the hot tub upstairs on the main level while the kids play ping-pong, pool, and video games downstairs. Or everyone can get together to roast marshmallows at the firepit. It's a win-win for everyone.
