About this property

Waterfront log home on Lake Bellaire. Pet friendly. Fireplace, dock. Dog ok

This lovely log home on Lake Bellaire offers a peaceful escape, with the lake sparkling beautifully amid northwest Michigan’s gorgeous countryside. Loons Landing comfortably welcomes up to six guests with its three cozy bedrooms and a friendly bathroom.

Inside, you'll find a well-equipped open-concept kitchen that seamlessly connects to the inviting living and dining areas, making meal prep and gathering together a breeze. Decorated with charming "Up North" touches, this Northern Michigan retreat exudes warmth and character. The living room, featuring a cozy gas fireplace, is perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

Step outside onto the welcoming covered porch to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Use the provided charcoal grill as you listen to the gentle calls of loons over the water. In the summer, gather around the fire pit, enjoy a picnic at the table, or have fun with the tree swing—there's plenty to enjoy! A lovely boardwalk winds through the wetland to reach the water, adding to the rustic charm.

Lake Bellaire sits just east of Lake Michigan, offering all-sport fun with swimming, boating, kayaking, water-skiing, fishing, and more. As part of the Elk River Watershed Chain of Lakes, it’s known as a true "Fisherman’s Paradise.”

Plus, it’s a simple drive to charming towns like Alden and Bellaire, where you can enjoy delicious meals, pick up groceries, or browse unique local shops around the lakes.

Your well-mannered dog is welcome.

We loved having our dog and boat with us on vacation! We ventured out to Torch Lake, which was about an hour's boat ride, but it was totally worth it!! Having a dock at the house was great. The house felt and smelled like a cabin, but it completely served its purpose. I would have loved to be able to see the water from the house, but not a long walk to the dock to sit and watch the sunrise. For the price the place is great!

Bellaire lake cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very cute and charming cabin snuggled in the woods on the lake. Have to walk down the boardwalk to see the lake, but still worth the time staying here. Cabin is decorated nicely and is very comfortable. Only recommendation would be to change out the door pad with key inside to a keyless door pad for easier access. It was difficult to open and put back into place. Also, would recommend placing mirrors in each room as there is only one bathroom. Rental property communicated very well with me, Excellent customer service. Neighbors are on both sides, but area is very quiet and really enjoyed the firepit. Could see next door at their firepit, but overall, it did impact our enjoyment what so ever. would definitely rent again!

The cabin was cute and my family enjoyed the dock and having access to the lake from the property. Water pressure a little low in the shower but wasn't a big deal. We will definitely book again if ever in the area.

Very Tranquil

Very nice location and cabin. In the wood and on the water. Perfect place for quite and relaxation and close enough to town for fun and good food. Our stay would have been better if the dock had been put out. Only complaint is that the water pressure in the shower was so low it barely rinsed the soap off.

Great Stay!

Based on last years reviews I was expecting this to not be very clean but liked that we could bring our dog. We had zero complaints about how clean it was so were pleasantly surprised. Maybe new housekeeping since last year. Other reviews really helped with understanding the dock area and boardwalk so that was as expected. We had a great stay!

October weekend

We spent the weekend with 2 other couples to relax, visit the brewery, see the colors, and visit the area. The cabin was a great location and was comfortable overall. The walk to the lake was beautiful and it was a nice quiet area. The beds were a little soft for our group but might be great for others. The coffee pot was a bit slow brewing for us....we were all coffee drinkers and needed our morning java. Overall, we would stay again.

Wonderful stay in beautiful Lake Bellaire

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect getaway location on quiet Lake Bellaire. Very close proximity to multiple lakes and towns to visit and explore. Perfect spot to unwind and detach. Hunting for Petoskey stones on the shores of Lake Michigan became our go to activity. Highly recommend a trip up to Charlevoix. The 4 days we spent wasn’t enough!

Enjoyed out stay!

Overall the cabin was exactly what I expected and the photos matched the cabin. The interior/exterior was a little dusty. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Several of the light bulbs were burned out but property was prompted in bringing more. The path to the lake was a bit of a hike, but the new dock was nice to take in the pretty view of the lake. I would stay again, as it was a restful and peaceful vacation.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I loved our stay in the cabin. The location is perfect, very close to downtown Bellaire and just a short drive to downtown Alden. Our toddler loved walking down the boardwalk every morning to check out the Loons on the lake, and he loved relaxing in the hammock. We had plenty of wood for the fireplace outside and took advantage of the dock for some stargazing.The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. All the basics were provided. The fireplace was perfect to turn on in the morning and evening when it was cool outside. The only thing that was a little unsatisfactory was the condition the mattresses, which were pretty uncomfortable in all of the bedrooms. Overall, I would say it was a lovely stay!

Relaxing weekend in Bellaire

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location.

Reviewer Comments: The property was well represented on the rental page and there weren't too many surprises. The childrens swing pictured was unfortunately not hung up, it appears as though perhaps it had recently become damaged and they removed it before it became a safety concern. The stay was very relaxing and the cabin was cozy, but there were quite a bit of dust and cobwebs as though it hadnt had a deep cleaning in awhile.

Charming cottage

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming wood cottage near the lake, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the professional management team made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our stay. The cottage itself is a delightful retreat, beautifully crafted with rustic wood interiors that create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The views of the lake were simply breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for our morning coffee and evening relaxation. The location is ideal for nature lovers, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, fishing, and kayaking just a stone’s throw away. We took advantage of the nearby trails and spent hours exploring the serene surroundings. Inside, the cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living area was perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Overall, our stay at this wood cottage was nothing short of magical. The combination of stunning natural beauty, a well-maintained property, and exceptional management made for an unforgettable experience. We are already planning our return visit! Thank you for an amazing getaway!
