Great stay and good communication

We had a great stay here. Very nice place and plenty of day trips to take from here. The owners are very responsive and really nice as well. We noticed when we arrived that the propane was almost empty, we contacted them and we had a new tank within the hour! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great location and cozy atmosphere.

The house was perfect for a nice getaway weekend for my friends and me. We were able to explore the nearby trails, cozy up by the fire, and head downtown for great food, drinks, and stores. Thanks for opening up your home!

Great house for Bellaire vacation

This was our 2nd stay here, and we already booked our next stay for next year, we like it here a lot! Nice clean house on a quiet road, can bike to Glacial Hills. Downtown Bellaire is really close. The owners are responsive and take good care of the property.

Close to Bellaire MI, quiet tucked away location.

Stayed two nights. AC was nice as first two units we visited on our 2 week trip did not. Liked that the house was not on a main through road, so noise was at a minimum. Everything was well stocked and would definitely return in the future.

Making Bellaire Easy

This is our 3rd visit to this property. Robert and Amy were great hosts. Very accessible. Their property is spotless. The check in process is easy and were their check-out requests. Great location for bumming around Up North. Would definitely recommend.

Great Place, Very Cozy.

The pictures don't do this place it's just desserts. Very clean and cozy. All the extras one might need during a stay away from home. Close to town and next to nature trails. Hosts are quick to respond to questions. If the need arises, I'll be back for sure.

Would Absolutely Stay Again!!

The house exceeded my expectations! Lots of storage, well stocked, and the high ceilings in the living room were great. It felt so good to just sit on the front porch, in the sun or not (there's a fabric awning you can pull over the table), and be so close to a trailhead as well as downtown Bellaire. It was a nice perk to have access to the giant garage so our car wouldn't get so hot in the sun. This is a great place to stay and I would recommend to everyone AND stay again! :)

Absolutely perfect

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My two sons and I came up for a fishing trip. The location is perfect with several lakes within a short distance. The pull through driveway was also ideal if you’re pulling a boat. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. All three of us decided this will be somewhere we go as often as possible. I was amazed at all of the amenities. Thank you for sharing this excellent property.

Cozy, comfy and peaceful

Totally enjoyed our stay here! Comfortable beds, fireplace, kitchen with anything you need and not too far from town! Beautiful woods, in fact outside every window that’s all you see. It was very peaceful and quiet. We didn’t get a chance to check out the trails down the road, but we used this as a home base to go to Traverse City, Mackinaw City, Petosky and Charlevoix. We made most of our meals there as the kitchen has everything you need and stuff you didn’t know you needed lol!! We didn’t need to communicate with the hosts, everything was as the directions and details stated, although from all the thoughtful details the hosts have done to the house I’m sure communicating would not have been an issue, they truly want you to enjoy your stay there. We loved it and hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Felton

Host profile image
Amy and I have been married for 34 years and have two adult children and one grandson. I'm a pastor, and Amy cleans houses for a living (mostly our three short-term rentals.) We enjoy traveling, entertaining, and of course, playing with our grandson! We spend our summers in a fifth-wheel camper on our property.

Why they chose this property

We moved to Bellaire from Grand Rapids 30 years ago. We just love the little village of Bellaire. It's great for outdoor activities, like golfing, skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, swimming, boating, etc, but there are also lots of great places to eat and several recreational opportunities, like the bowling alley/laser maze/arcade, and the movie theater. For its size, there's a ton to do! And if you're into craft beverages, you'll find them in abundance with Short's Brewery, BeeWell Mead and Cider, Torch Lake Cellars, and Mammoth Distilling.

What makes this property unique

This house is a nice, quiet place to stay, but so close to so many great activities! You'll love coming back over and over for your favorite things to do as well as exploring new treasures every time.
