Great Vacation w/ Great Hosts
What a wonderful retreat Bellows Place is! John and Diane are 2 of the best hosts I’ve ever had. The old world charm and historical pictures around the property was a nice touch as well. The lake & water was perfect. I brought my 25’ pontoon boat, and we had a blast navigating both lakes & the channel.
Great lake! Property had lots to do and places to spread out. Property was thoughtfully stocked. Property manager, Diane, was very nice and helpful. Rental met the needs of all 20 family members. What a great week!
We were celebrating our 50th anniversary (a year late due to Covid) and wanted to share this milestone with our children, spouses and grandchildren. Our son Joseph arranged this rental as we were uncomfortable with on line rentals. Could not have been easier however. This was the perfect place. We rented a pontoon boat for the week from Adirondack boat rentals and the kids all had a ball. All 17 of us fit comfortably in this home. It was well maintained and the property manager (Diane) was very helpful. Would not hesitate to do it again.
We spent a lot of time on the front porch. With a large group (23kids/adults) there was ample room to all sit together or to sneak away for some peace and quiet!
The property manager was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend!
