About this house rental

Drive on up and "Breathe Bellaire"...

Just 7 mins from Shanty Creek/Schuss, you'll be greeted inside by a warm, cozy home due to the in-floor heating throughout the entire 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's quite spacious and with the custom fireplace stonework and wood flooring, you're sure to feel at home away from home. We're in downtown, so you can walk from the front door to all of downtown Bellaire's fun, like Short's Brewery, Mammoth Distilling, BeeWell Cider etc. The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from the central location.

Relax in this spacious and beautiful home, ready for your group to spread out among 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. There's books and book nooks, board games with fun nights awaiting, and reclining comfy couches ready for movie night.

There's no "TO-DO" list when you check out. That's what the cleaning fee is for! Our awesome cleaners take care of everything so when it's time to check out, you don't have to worry about scrubbing the baseboards and sweeping the driveway :)

There's much more with hiking and biking trails nearby, Torch Lake Cellars Winery, and of course the beautiful lakes and waterways...

** BACKYARD AREA **
The 12 foot, Upper Peninsula handcrafted barrel sauna steals the show. It is wood-fired for a more authentic Finnish sauna experience and made with tongue and groove western red cedar that smells amazing.Come relax your mind and body by getting in the heat and sweating life's toxins out. Sauna benefits are too many to list here. All we know is you leave feeling completely rejuvenated and sleep like a baby!

The sauna includes a changing room before the larger hot room space. It has a 7 foot ceiling so even the tallest in your group can stand up. It seats 6+ at a time, and you can pour water on the rocks with bucket and ladle to create a gentle steam. There is even a tub for cold plunges if you're ready for it!

The fire pit area offers the biggest Solo Stove we could get. Once you get the fire going, it is smokeless and is a real treat to hang out at- no dodging the smoke! With adjustable adirondack chairs and string lights around the fire pit area, it's a great spot to relax between sauna sessions and hangout at the end of the day.

Last but not least the back deck itself is expansive and might be your new favorite spot. Lighting is well thought out with solar post lights and string lights along the house. There is a large and comfortable 8-seater tall dining table, complete with propane fire insert. You will love game night and drinks with friends out here. The BBQ grill always is clean and has propane stocked (extra in garage).

We had an amazing stay! The entire process from booking thru check out with this property was excellent. Right from the start our host provided details to so many things including grocery stores. I am a planner and so many hosts miss this step. The property and house were extremely well taken care of and very clean. The property is very unique and I loved the little spots in the house that allowed for a bit of privacy without being confined to bedrooms. As a gem stone and rock hound the center of the floor with stones was my favorite! The town of Bellaire also is within walking distance. The food at Short's was very good. If you walk the neighborhood you can see the historical houses with plaques telling a bit about the history. Mari vineyards is a short drive away and was definitely worth the drive. As well as Mission Point Lighthouse. We even found a few Petosky stones! We will be back!

Here is a cleaned-up version that keeps your voice but fixes grammar and flow:This was by far the nicest VRBO home I have ever stayed in. It may honestly be the nicest home I have stayed in, period. Everything about the design of the home is so well thought out. You can tell the owners put a lot of care and intention into creating this place.For example, the entire home has heated floors. There are large windows everywhere, bringing in tons of natural light. The décor is gorgeous, and the home strikes a perfect balance between cozy and functional. There is great technology for relaxing, including huge TVs and comfortable chairs, along with quiet spaces that are perfect for reading or working remotely.The bathrooms were incredible, with three beautiful showers and a huge bathtub.We also saw deer roaming constantly in the wooded area behind the house, which added something really special to the experience.I had a couple of questions during our stay, and the response time from the host was extremely fast.The house is close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough out to be peaceful and quiet.The dry sauna was amazing. It was my first time using a wood stove heated sauna, so it took a little learning at first, but once I figured it out it was incredible.Thank you for sharing such a beautiful home with us.
