Courtview Cottage - Bellaire MI
***Full disclosure: If you are looking for a remote, quiet house in the woods or on the lake, this may not be the property for you. We are located right downtown in the quaint but vibrant, bustling town of Bellaire MI right opposite the court house***
Courtview Cottage is a cozy, beautifully decorated and fully renovated historic house in the downtown Village Of Bellaire. Built in 1902, the house has undergone a complete two year renovation completed in 2020. The house is located directly opposite Bellaire's stunning historic landmark, Antrim County Courthouse. Courtview Cottage has been updated with all modern conveniences. The house's unique original features have been lovingly retained including original hardwood floors, stained glass windows and a gothic tower.

The house is also steps to the Bellaire Farmer's Market, Bellaire Movie Theater and all the other local bars, numerous excellent restaurants, boutique shopping, fairs and festivals that the quaint bustling town of Bellaire has to offer.
Only a few minutes drive to Shanty Creek Resort and Schuss Mountain for golf and skiing, Lake Bellaire, Clam Lake, Intermediate Lake and Torch Lake for boating and water sports, Glacial Hills Pathway and Nature Area and Grass River Nature Area for hiking, biking and admiring the beautiful flora and fauna of Northern Michigan.
