About this house rental

Lakeside Living at Its Finest: Spend your days at this cozy property curled up on the sofa, enjoying the natural sunlight that pours in from the vaulted windows, or relax on the peaceful deck with stunning views of Lake Bellaire. A short stroll down the cedar chip walkway leads you to the clear blue water, perfect for swimming. This end of the lake is ideal for peaceful kayaking, paddleboarding, and excellent fishing.

Exciting additions for 2025 include a brand-new dock and patio! The new dock offers even easier access to the lake for swimming, fishing, or launching your kayaks and paddleboards. The spacious patio provides an expanded outdoor living area, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings.

Unwind and Explore: After a day of exploring the property and cooling off in the lake, gather around a campfire and take in breathtaking sunsets. If you're not in the mood to cook, Bellaire boasts a number of amazing pubs, breweries, and restaurants that are sure to satisfy any craving.

This unique property comfortably sleeps 8-10 people and is conveniently close to the public boat launch, with ample parking for a boat and trailer. Even better, it's located directly across from Glacier Hills Trails, offering numerous hiking and biking trails where you can immerse yourself in nature and spot Northern Michigan wildlife.

Lake Bellaire is an amazing place to visit and this house is in a great location. The dock and kayaks were so very nice. Our host was wonderful to work with and even went out of her way to help make our stay pleasant.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
House was immaculate, it was challenging at times with 2 bathrooms for 6 people. No closet space at all, no where to hang nice clothes, nor an iron. Outdoor deck space was amazing, great fire pit. Wildlife galore. It’s a hike to the lake, they provided a much used wagon. We came for the lakes and brought our boat and used the provided mooring anchor, unfortunately it was terribly difficult to get out to the boat due to amount of fallen logs in the water and the water is very mucky. The proximity to the beautiful town of Bellaire was very convenient.
