Perfect Spot

Absolutely loved this place. It has everything you need for a weekend away (or even a week away). The place is so much bigger than the pictures portray. The deck is a nice bonus. It is very close to downtown Bellaire and the Family Fare. I would come back and stay in this home in a heartbeat.

great

the condo was very nice, we would stay there again. A couple suggestions: the hand railing on the outside produced a sliver for one of us the fireplace produced a very smoky odor, so we did not use it this is not related to the facility, but there was a group of ladies next door that started a fire in a portable firepit that smoked up the entire area. very inconsiderate! Otherwise, everything was great!

Perfect for our week stay in Bellaire

The condo was perfect place for our family. Plenty of room. The place was extremely clean. I like that there were minimal knick knacks around the condo, very clean look. there were plenty of towels, blankets. Everything we needed. The cookware was very nice. I'd say nearly new. My favorite thing. The king bed was comfortable. Kids loved having upstairs to 'themselves'. We thought not having a TV in master bedroom was going to be s problem, it wasn't. Kids had one upstairs. We had a couple of rainy days but made the best of it, we stayed in all day & played board games. We roamed the grounds a few mornings on scavenger hunts & that was fun. All in all, this condo worked very well for us & we would highly recommend. We did not have to engage with owner as everything was on point.

Perfect spot for riding in and out with kids. Beautiful view of slopes.

We had an amazing time besides the group below us which was very loud and partied all weekend. The condo we were in was very nice, clean, great spot for ski in and out. Was super nice with kids because they could come in from riding eat and head back out as they pleased. We will definitely rent this unit again.

Birthday weekend

We stayed here for my moms 60th birthday. Although we spent most of the time out on Torch lake this is a great condo! We would come back in a Heart Beat. Very clean, well stocked kitchen, great location!

Lovely.

This property was lovely...clean, high quality, comfortable, beautiful setting!! My only complaint is having to dispose of the trash ourselves. I think this should be included in the (not inexpensive) cost of the rental. This particular trash bin was hidden, hard to reach, and there was a sign on the door (required to be used to get to the bin)...stating, "authorized personnel only!"

Great location

The property was clean and convenient. The only improvement I would suggest would be to have more bath towels and also wash the bed pillows. Otherwise, very nice, well equipped property conveniently located near the ticket booth and red lift.

Comfortable Bellaire summer weekend.

The condo was clean, well furnished and roomier than it appeared in the online photos. The outdoor deck was a nice feature in the evening. The location was convenient. We only were in the condo for two nights and did not have the time to use the pool or visit the Lodge which was directly across the street. We would rent this property again if we have another opportunity to visit Bellaire.

Great condo!

We had a great skiing weekend at this condo! Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. Loved the fireplace. The huge entryway was perfect for all the ski gear. There were 8 of us and we fit very comfortably.
