Beautiful house! Beautiful Lake!

This house is perfect. Everything was pristine. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you will need including spices, dishes, utensils. There is a nice area to put in Kayaks. The dock is perfect to swim off. The fire pit is lovely. The lake is very quiet with lots of lovely loon sounds. Close to the cute town of Bellaire. Close to Glacial hills which has well marked hiking trails. Close to the Grass river for kayaking. We will definitely be back!

Comfortable lake cottage

This is a modern cottage on the north end of Lake Bellaire, complete with a dock for your boat. There are no homes on the opposite shore, making for tranquil lake views. The place is clean and the kitchen is reasonably appointed. We would stay here again.

The View

Upon arriving to this property you are greeted to a stunning view of Lake Bellaire, which never got old. The house was very clean and had everything you needed in the kitchen and more. The owner Tom was always quickly to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. Next trip to the area we will definitely rent this house again.

Wonderful Place to Stay

We stayed at this wonderful cottage in February for a ski trip. We could not have asked for anything more. The house is well maintained, in a great quiet location and not far from the bars/restaurants or skiing. We are already talking about rebooking for a summer stay to enjoy the waterfront property.

Not just for summer vacations!

We stayed at this cottage over the summer and we so enjoyed it that we decided to book a winter vacation there too! The views of Lake Bellaire were just as beautiful in the winter as they were in the summer. The fireplace made the cottage so cozy! The town of Bellaire was decorated for the holidays! And, the owner made sure the cottage drive was plowed for us throughout our stay. It was a super convenient location for skiing and snowmobiling without having to deal with the crowds at a resort.
