All the comforts of home

We had activities planned in the area and this listing proved to be both economical and convenient. The check in process and instructions provided left no questions or items unanswered. Very clean and comfortable. I would certainly recommend staying here.

Perfect place for us for extended vacation

This property exceeded our expectations! It was amazingly clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Bob and Amy were great hosts. They even supplied a lot of things that we usually carry, like hand soap, night lights and a charging station for electronics. There were plenty of cleaning and paper products available also. We stayed for three weeks to explore the area, and we really appreciated the large laundry room with washer and dryer and room to hang your clothes. The little town of Bellaire has restaurants, Shorts Brewery, and some cute storefronts. We enjoyed the coffee (and baked goods) at Ruth Ann's Bakery and Morning Grind. All of the trails and natural areas close by made it easy to enjoy the outdoors. Don't miss the Loon Nesting Preserve. We enjoyed the small towns of Alden and Elk Rapids also (beautiful sunsets in both places!) We could not have asked for a more perfect location or more accommodating hosts. We hated to leave!

Great stay and good communication

We had a great stay here. Very nice place and plenty of day trips to take from here. The owners are very responsive and really nice as well. We noticed when we arrived that the propane was almost empty, we contacted them and we had a new tank within the hour! Would definitely recommend staying here!

Close to Bellaire MI, quiet tucked away location.

Stayed two nights. AC was nice as first two units we visited on our 2 week trip did not. Liked that the house was not on a main through road, so noise was at a minimum. Everything was well stocked and would definitely return in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Felton

Amy and I have been married for 34 years and have two adult children and one grandson. I'm a pastor, and Amy cleans houses for a living (mostly our three short-term rentals.) We enjoy traveling, entertaining, and of course, playing with our grandson! We spend our summers in a fifth-wheel camper on our property.

Why they chose this property

We moved to Bellaire from Grand Rapids 30 years ago. We just love the little village of Bellaire. It's great for outdoor activities, like golfing, skiing, snowshoeing, biking, hiking, swimming, boating, etc, but there are also lots of great places to eat and several recreational opportunities, like the bowling alley/laser maze/arcade, and the movie theater. For its size, there's a ton to do! And if you're into craft beverages, you'll find them in abundance with Short's Brewery, BeeWell Mead and Cider, Torch Lake Cellars, and Mammoth Distilling.

What makes this property unique

This house is a nice, quiet place to stay, but so close to so many great activities! You'll love coming back over and over for your favorite things to do as well as exploring new treasures every time.
