Our family of 12 had an absolutely wonderful stay at Blue Haven Lodge! It was the perfect place for a multi-generational family vacation and exceeded our expectations.The property is beautiful, and the lake felt incredibly peaceful—almost like having our own private lake. We spent countless hours swimming, fishing, paddling the canoes and kayaks, and simply enjoying the water. We even spotted beavers and bald eagles, which made the experience even more special.The lodge itself is perfectly designed for large groups. There were plenty of comfortable gathering spaces where we could eat meals, play games, and relax together, while still having room for everyone to spread out. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals for a large family.Evenings around the fire pit quickly became one of our favorite traditions. Between the beautiful lake views and the peaceful setting, it was the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventures.The location couldn’t have been better. We enjoyed day trips to places like Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, and nearby golf courses, while also spending plenty of days simply staying at the lake because it was so hard to leave. Bellaire was a charming town with convenient grocery stores and everything we needed, and we loved exploring nearby communities like Alden as well.Blue Haven Lodge is truly the ideal Northern Michigan retreat.

Wonderful home and beautiful views.

Our stay was great! The house fit us all so well, it was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a cozy winter stay!

What a find! This house and the location exceeded our expectations. It is off the beaten path but still close enough to everything. The views are breathtaking! Water on 3 sides of the deck. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything that we needed. We took advantage of the kayaks on a beautiful and peaceful morning, and I am so glad that we did. The host was great. He called the morning of our arrival to give us specific directions to the house (GPS only gets you part of the way there). I can't say enough great things about our trip and this house. We enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend.
