About this house rental
Experience the ultimate Northern Michigan escape at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom riverfront retreat in Bellaire. Nestled along the water and just steps from downtown, the Chain of Lakes Retreat combines the comforts of home with unbeatable access to outdoor adventure and small-town charm.
Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space perfect for families and groups. The home boasts a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances, a breakfast bar, and a coffee station complete with a Keurig and syrups for your morning pick-me-up. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for relaxation and fun. The main living room features a sectional sofa and a smart TV, ideal for movie nights or cozy evenings by the gas fireplace. A second living room offers additional space to relax, read, or play board games. For even more entertainment, head to the separate game room, equipped with a pool table, dartboard, smart TV, and various games.
The sleeping arrangements include a king bed in the primary suite, a queen bed in the second bedroom, and two twin/full bunk beds in the third bedroom. Additional guests can make use of the sleeper sofa in the living room. The home also offers central heating and air conditioning, an in-unit washer and dryer, complimentary toiletries, and free Wi-Fi for added convenience.
The outdoor space is just as inviting as the interior. With direct river access, four kayaks and life vests included, and a sprawling yard, you can enjoy endless hours of fun by the water. For those who prefer to stay on land, the firepit and front porch provide the perfect spots to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Parking is a breeze, with space for three vehicles and a boat trailer.
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of a brand-new hot tub, providing the ultimate spot to unwind after a day of exploring or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Whether soaking under the stars or starting your morning with a relaxing dip, the hot tub adds a special touch to your stay.
When you’re ready to explore, Chain of Lakes Retreat is ideally located within walking distance of Bellaire’s charming downtown. Discover unique shops, indulge in local cuisine, or sample craft beer at Short’s Brewing Company, a favorite among visitors and locals alike. For outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers endless activities, from hiking and biking trails to fishing and boating on Torch Lake, just a short drive away. Bring your boat along on your trip and launch it at one of the nearby launches to explore the lakes. In the winter, head to nearby Shanty Creek or Schuss Mountain Resorts for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.
Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, Chain of Lakes Retreat has everything you need for a memorable getaway. Book your stay today and experience the best of Northern Michigan!

Very clean and spacious home for a weekend getaway. There was extra linens and towel which was nice so we didn’t have to do a bunch of laundry.

We enjoyed our stay at the Riverfront Retreat! We booked for a quick winter getaway due to its proximity to Schuss Mountain and downtown Bellaire, and the house was a perfect fit for our needs. Schuss was a quick drive, and the hot tub and gas fireplace were perfect for apres ski relaxing!!While the temps were too chilly to make walking appealing, we enjoyed dinner at Shorts which is super close (definitely walkable if weather cooperates).We discovered too late that the game room was heated so didn't have an opportunity to enjoy, but it's a fun space!Great communication from the host. The house was nicely furnished/stocked, beds were super comfortable, and everything was clean. We're already talking about booking a stay during the summer to take advantage of the kayaks, proximity to golf, and walking downtown Bellaire; but would definitely book again for winter retreat.

Plenty of room for a crowd….bed space and hangout space. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything required to cook the crew a meal or two. Very relaxing!
