Responsive hosts sharing their lovely home in an ideal location. We made a fire by the water while watching the deer run by. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. This is a well cared for home.

We really enjoyed our stay. The owners are very sweet and accommodating. The house was so cute with a beautiful kitchen that has the best of old and new. The floors and staircase were very classic. Location was perfect for the kids. They would run down and drop a line in the water . We ate in town and enjoyed taking a ride to Torch Lake. Nice relaxing trip!

Dave and Anne were fantastic hosts! Incredibly thoughtful and quick to respond to messages. The house is so charming with a beautifully updated kitchen. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We had more than enough room for 5 adults. It’s a relaxing and scenic boat ride to Torch Lake. The biggest plus was being able to bring our fur baby. I highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay here again if we head back that way.

Our family adored this lovely home! The neighborhood is so quaint with frequent encounters with wildlife: many deer share the space, plus we saw otters and a bald eagle!!!The river access allowed swimming, fishing, kayaking, and fetch with the dogs. We also tubed in Lake Bellaire and swam in the gorgeous Torch Lake.We walked to town each night for dinner and treats.The home has a perfect mix of old and new with wood, plaster, and some short ceilings along with stylish and functional updates. It was very clean and comfortable.Communication with the hosts was easy and we were welcomed with a warm and local desserts! We highly recommend this place!

The home and amenities were absolutely top notch! The pictures do not do justice to this charming home with impeccable and thoughtfully done home decor. Anne and Dave were wonderful hosts from our arrival to departure with lovely little touches like cookies from the local bakery. The house is walking distance to everything Bellaire has to offer. Loved our stay and hope to return soon.

Perfect location and vintage home. Kitchen was well stocked for family meals. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch with coffee and fire pit in the evening. Close to all activities, including a boat ride to Torch Lake.

We only stayed for once night but enjoyed our time at the house. It is very clean and well appointed and comfortable. It was too hot outside so we enjoyed hanging out indoors. We walked to Bellaire, which was close by.

A great getaway!

We had a wonderful time at this cute property! The hosts were very accommodating as we checked in and throughout our stay. The house was perfect for a friends getaway with new babies and a dog. Definitely recommend this VRBO! It’s walking distance to downtown Bellaire and a short drive to other cities in Northern MI.
