Impromptu trip up to Bellaire area. Host very responsive in communication both before & during stay. Check in was as described, very safe area to park and unload vehicle. Especially appreciated that as we arrived quite late in the evening! We enjoyed using the condo as our home base for the trip - easy access for main roads into Bellaire area & North, or down into Traverse City area, about an hour's drive. The balcony had views of the lake through the trees and was a nice way to both start & end the day. A lot of different options for beds - we used the Murphy bed. Easy to get set up and mattress was comfortable. We would stay here again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so glad the condo worked well as a home base for your impromptu Northern Michigan getaway and that you enjoyed the peaceful lake views from the balcony. It’s also great to hear that check-in was easy, especially with your late arrival, and that you found the Murphy bed comfortable. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back on your next trip to the Bellaire area!

The layout of this condo and the tv, dishwasher, stove, refrigerator, microwave and traditional coffee pot with coffee were great. The condo is upstairs on the second floor which allows for wonderful view from the outdoor deck. A/c and ceiling fan kept us cool this hot summer. We will definitely stay here again!
