About this house rental

Relax and enjoy over 3,000 square feet of living space plus almost 1,000 sq. ft. of deck, with dramatic views of the surrounding countryside. It's as close to a mountain view as you can get in Michigan! This home is secluded (almost 1/2 mile off the road) but only 2 miles from downtown Bellaire. It's mere minutes from Short's Brewery, Shanty Creek Resorts, Bellaire Lake and Torch Lake.

The large, open great room is perfect for family gatherings. A second kitchen, living room and dining room downstairs, plus a den off the main living area provide lots of space for privacy, even for multiple families. You'll love the open, airy feel and rustic decor throughout. Lots of knotty pine and hardwood floors.

The expansive deck with several tables and chairs provides plenty of room for outdoor entertaining. A large, stainless steel propane grill is available for grilling.

Enjoy the beauty of the night sky while you gather around the fire pit for conversation and S'mores! We provide the firewood, roasting sticks, and several camp chairs, you bring the food and laughter. And speaking of laughter, you can be as loud as you want, since there are no neighbors to disturb.

Glacial Hills trails are literally right out the back door; no commute required to experience this fabulous trail system.

**IMPORTANT** For winter rental, 4WD or AWD vehicles are REQUIRED to access the house! The driveway is no joke! It's long and steep, but there's a parking area about halfway in where you can park two-wheel-drive vehicles if some of your group aren't cool enough to have SUVs, haha.

Security: Please be aware there is a doorbell camera attached to the garage that has view of the driveway and is motion activated. Feel free to say hello when you arrive and good bye when you leave!

Very clean and spacious. Stocked full of amenities.

House was wonderful and felt warm and cozy despite sleeping so many! The host was great and the home had everything you could ever need or want for a stay. We stayed over New Year's week during a snow storm and loved having the house decorated for the holidays. We felt like we were at a friends home, not a rental. The driveway was plowed and ready for us when we arrived and throughout our stay. You definitely need AWD or 4WD to get up in the winter! The view is beautiful. Shanty Creek is a short drive away and Bellaire is just down the road - super convenient location. We especially enjoyed having the Glacier Hills Trails right around the corner for snow-shoeing. Can't wait to stay again!
