Expect a Five Star stay with us! Here is what a few guests have said:

"We enjoyed our stay at Danielle and Craig's place in Bellaire, MI. The accommodations were as described and the house has lovely scenery and quick access to Schuss Mountain trails and hills access. Super close to downtown Bellaire and close to Torch Lake to enjoy in the summer. We had a great girls weekend and would recommend staying here."

"This place was absolutely perfect for a ski weekend for my family. Fantastic location right in the middle of Shanty Creek resort area, but the homes are spread out so it's also very peaceful in a pretty wooded setting. Plenty of beds, super clean bathrooms and linens, and wonderfully cozy fireplace to retreat to after skiing. The kids loved that we had access to the resort pools as well. Will definitely have to come back during golf season!"

"A wonderful family vacation of 3 generations! Danielle was extremely responsive to all of our questions. The place was spotless and very well stocked. Beds were comfortable. There's such a broad range of things to do, including enjoying boating on Intermediate and Torch Lakes, downtown Bellaire and Alden for shopping and Shorts Brewery, and enjoying the indoor and outdoor pools, quiet strolls in the early morning and evening, and ordering in amazing pizza from BC's on our first night after traveling and settling in. The evenings were spent around the coze campfire and game nights."
