Family Getaway

We had a great time in Bellaire. The property is as depicted with new floors, appliances, bathrooms.Courtney was a great host. We enjoyed games, cooking, movies and cozy fires. Shanty/Schuss has plenty of activity- we went snow tubing and had a great time. I'd definitely rent this again. Thanks Courtney!!

Great ski weekend for a group!

Overall we had a great stay for our group to enjoy a ski weekend at Schuss Mountain. The location is about an 8-10 minute drive from the resort. There was a LOT of snow this weekend which made the driveway a bit difficult to navigate even with AWD vehicles, but we contacted the owner and she sent the plow back out for us. There is room for 2 cars in the garage and 1 in the driveway but no ability to turn around with all the snow, and no street parking. The kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful and the large pantry off the kitchen was great for storing all of our food and snacks. The scenery is so pretty and I imagine is gorgeous in the summer months. Lots of places to sleep and hang out.

Golf Trip

Stayed with a large group of 12 golfers, and the house was plenty big enough to spread out with that many. Great location for being near the golf courses, ski resorts and downtown Bellaire. There were no kids with us, but looked like plenty for kids to do at the house.

Beautiful space and tons of room!

We were in town for a wedding and this place was perfect! It's tucked in a woody, hilly neighborhood that made for great walking and provided that "get away from it all" feeling. The home is spacious and spread out, so plenty of people can stay here, yet still have space to spread out and relax. We loved that there was a basketball hoop, a spacious deck to play Corn Hole on, and enjoyed the fire pit too. We've stayed in this area before, and love the location. Would definitely stay here again!

Christmas in July

This trip was an annual July vacation we gift to our children at Christmas. This was our first time here and we all had a great time. Spent a great day on Lake Bellaire and when it rained we were able to enjoy the indoor pool at the resort. We also spent a few hrs at the resort golf and game simulator room which was enjoyed by all. Home was very clean and enjoyable. Owner was very responsive and helpful!

Annual Family Ski trip

This is a great home to stay for a ski trip. It’s close to the slopes, tubing hill and the town of Bellaire. This home has a great kitchen/dinning area, family room on both floors and a great kids play area on the third floor. I highly recommend this house for families! Thank-you Courtney!

Great Summertime Getaway

Our group of three families (including 2 four year olds and a two year old) had a terrific stay. The house was very spacious, the kitchen accommodating, and the pool/private beach access was invaluable. There were plenty of toys for the little ones along with a cozy fire pit for roasting hot dogs and s’mores.

Relaxing stay

The house was large and had a nice layout for our group of 3 families, each getting their own space. The location was nice and the access to the pools and private beach on Lake Bellaire were definitely a special part of the rental. We didn’t make too much use of the playroom upstairs because it was a little musty but would probably be nice in the winter months. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home. However check in was at 4:00pm. When we arrived at 4:02pm the house was still being cleaned. The cleaner didnt leave until after 5:30pm. We received no communication the place would not be ready. The last guests towels were in tbe dryer, so had to figure out what to do with the stuff when drying beach towels. After being in the car for 8 hours we really wanted to relax :( Besides the place not beinv ready we had a great time!

Winter Renters Beware... it is Northern Michigan

We very much enjoyed our stay at nearby Schuss Mountain and had a wonderful time with family and friends. However, there were several things that negatively impacted our stay. First, the listing included a sofa sleeper in the loft. However, we could not find full sheets even after contacting the owner, it is under a very steep popcorn ceiling, and the loft is incredibly drafty. None of our guests chose to use this accommodation. Furthermore on this point, the futon in the office is not adult sized. The listing is slightly misleading if you're a group of 14 men coming - beware.Next, the updated kitchen and bathrooms are beautiful, as the pictures show. However, the rest of the house could use a little TLC. Additionally, I'm not sure that the upgrades were ever inspected as our group found a smoke detector on a piece of furniture 1 foot off the ground. The freezer and laundry tub were dirty, there were 2 broken doorknobs on closet doors and most of the HVAC registers were not installed properly, leaving large gaps between the register and wall/floor.Lastly, the driveway is extremely steep and narrow. We did bring all-wheel drive SUVs as suggested and we all got stuck in the driveway at various times. Even after contacting the owner that we were having issues, she just left it up to her snow removal company with a weak apology for our lost time and inconvenience. One vehicle was stuck badly enough it needed to be towed. It was a stressful nightmare on the driveway.

Perfect for larger groups!

Our two families stayed here for a ski weekend and enjoyed ourselves so much. There are plenty of rooms and bathrooms for lots of privacy but also a big kitchen and living room for gathering. The host provided wood for the fireplace (we donated to the voluntary donation box for the wood) and the house has everything you need. We also had access to two different indoor hot tubs/pools. Very close to schuss mountain and to downtown Bellaire. We would definitely stay here again!
