About this property
Hidden gem, nestled in the woods on Lake Bellaire.
Lakeside Living at Its Finest: Spend your days at this cozy property curled up on the sofa, enjoying the natural sunlight that pours in from the vaulted windows, or relax on the peaceful deck with stunning views of Lake Bellaire. A short stroll down the cedar chip walkway leads you to the clear blue water, perfect for swimming. This end of the lake is ideal for peaceful kayaking, paddleboarding, and excellent fishing.
Exciting additions for 2025 include a brand-new dock and patio! The new dock offers even easier access to the lake for swimming, fishing, or launching your kayaks and paddleboards. The spacious patio provides an expanded outdoor living area, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings.
Unwind and Explore: After a day of exploring the property and cooling off in the lake, gather around a campfire and take in breathtaking sunsets. If you're not in the mood to cook, Bellaire boasts a number of amazing pubs, breweries, and restaurants that are sure to satisfy any craving.
This unique property comfortably sleeps 8-10 people and is conveniently close to the public boat launch, with ample parking for a boat and trailer. Even better, it's located directly across from Glacier Hills Trails, offering numerous hiking and biking trails where you can immerse yourself in nature and spot Northern Michigan wildlife.
Endless Water Adventures on the Chain of Lakes: Lake Bellaire is your gateway to an incredible day on the water.

Continue your adventure down the Torch River, into Lake Skegemog, and out into Elk Lake to Elk Rapids. Along the way, you can stop for lunch at The Dockside or explore further for dinner and drinks at The Riverwalk—both offer waterside parking and dining.
