Spacious Downtown Home with River Access, Large Decks, Solo Stove Firepit, Sauna

Drive on up and "Breathe Bellaire"...

Just 7 mins from Shanty Creek/Schuss, you'll be greeted inside by a warm, cozy home due to the in-floor heating throughout the entire 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's quite spacious and with the custom fireplace stonework and wood flooring, you're sure to feel at home away from home. We're in downtown, so you can walk from the front door to all of downtown Bellaire's fun, like Short's Brewery, Mammoth Distilling, BeeWell Cider etc. The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from the central location.

Relax in this spacious and beautiful home, ready for your group to spread out among 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. There's books and book nooks, board games with fun nights awaiting, and reclining comfy couches ready for movie night.

There's no "TO-DO" list when you check out. That's what the cleaning fee is for! Our awesome cleaners take care of everything so when it's time to check out, you don't have to worry about scrubbing the baseboards and sweeping the driveway :)

** LOCATION **
Walk to food and drink downtown, like:
-Short's Brewery (expanded music venue + new beer garden)
-Mammoth Distilling
-The Corner Bistro (fine dining)
-Hello Vino
-Bee Well Mead and Cider
-much more

** HIKING/BIKING **
-Glacial Hills is just outside of town (5 mins) and has some of the best mountain biking in the state!
-Grass River Natural Area (10 mins) will make you wonder why you don't live up here.
There's much more with hiking and biking trails nearby, Torch Lake Cellars Winery, and of course the beautiful lakes and waterways...


** WATERFRONT **
Our property is deeded Waterfront access with a small dock on the river just steps from the property. From the dock, it is a very short and gentle paddle to Lake Bellaire (feel free to use our 2 kayaks)! The dock is not suited for docking a boat at this time, but there are multiple public launches nearby.

Drop your boat in at the easily accessible Ohio Street public boat launch or Riverside Marina. Take the short river to beautiful Lake Bellaire and go further to Clam Lake and Torch Lake.

**THE HOUSE**
As you pull out of town and down our side street, you'll notice how peaceful our property is, surrounded by trees in it's own little private wooded space. Pull into the driveway and take a breath of that fresh Bellaire with ample parking for your group.

Enter your custom door lock code to enter the breezeway, kick off your shoes and make yourself at home. You'll walk up a couple steps into the main living quarters, with living area, dining area, and kitchen together in an open concept, newly furnished space.

The coffee bar and kitchen are fully stocked and equipped. The living room has a large smart TV with SONOS speaker system. The dining table is ready for family meals and game night. You'll see the custom photo wall with "Breathe Bellaire" sign, equipped with ring light for your friends and family pics.

The back deck offers a comfortable 8-seater tall dining table complete with propane fire insert in the middle. We love game night and drinks with friends out here.

The house has 4 bedrooms (every nightstand has plugs + USB phone charger)
BR 1: One King bed (Master bedroom)
BR 2: One Queen bed
BR 3: One Queen bed
BR 4: Two Twins (daybed + trundle)

Take the beautiful, winding staircase to the second level.
-Master Bedroom Suite: A large room with seating area, custom stone fireplace, smart TV and new king sized mattress and furniture. Continue to your private deck apart from the rest of the house for morning coffee and evening wine. A large bathroom with walk in shower completes the Suite.

On the other side of the staircase landing is:
-Large bathroom with tiled shower, jetted tub.
-Bedroom 2: Queen bed, dresser, closet.
-Bedroom 3: Queen bed, dresser, closet.
-Second Level Common Space "Reading Nook" and desk+chair for slipping away for some work. Large windows invite the outdoors in for a peaceful retreat.

The entire home and direct river access a short paddle to Lake Bellaire.

Family fun
This home is just perfect. It has many extras that are so thoughtful and makes it feel like home. Our family had a great time on the deck and around the fire pit. We also enjoyed using the kayaks. We walked downtown many times and were close enough to many areas to take day trips.

We really enjoyed our week in Bellaire. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked! We spent days at Sleeping Bear Dunes, Torch lake/Alden and Petosky. The house is walkable to the downtown for good food, drinks and an adorable little toy store! Thank you for your hospitality on such a wonderful stay!

Fantastic house in Bellaire!
This house was truly amazing. Extremely clean and well appointed, and within walking distance of everything you’d want in Bellaire (maybe a 7min walk to Short’s). The house was quite large and comfortable, with really nice furniture and top notch bathrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked and they also have a really nice coffee bar. There is also an excellent outdoor area that is comfortable and quiet, you’d never know you’re five minutes from downtown. They also include a really nice sauna. The owners are great communicators who share lots of info about what to do locally. Would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. The house is really a gem.

Perfect up north getaway steps from the action
We loved this property and are already eagerly planning our next visit. Bryce is an incredible host, providing everything you need from kayaks to suggestions on places to eat, to a fully stocked coffee bar in the house. This house feels secluded and private but is actually a quick 3-5 minute walk from everything Bellaire has to offer. It was perfect for our group of 6-7 and incredibly comfy and well appointed. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic Time!
This house is beautiful, and is exactly as pictured. We spent a wonderful getaway weekend there. We comfortably fit seven adults, as the house is quite large and well laid out. We appreciated the coffee bar, and the easy communication with the host. Check in was as easy as it gets. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the Bellaire area, look no further!
