Wonderful weekend

Our family had a wonderful weekend full of adventure! Condo was clean , check in was easy. Very organized kitchen . Lots of things to do on the property rain or shine. It was exactly what our family needed. We escaped from the every day crazy- enjoyed the pool, played outdoor games, worked out, took a trip into Traverse , Bellaire and Torch. Cooked dinner while watching a family movie. The kids loved the bunk bed. Great getaway for a long weekend. We plan on booking again!

Nice, definitely not oversized :)

The property was nice, there were a few things that needed some attention that would have helped the overall wow factor, such as it was nice that there was a washer and dryer (even though we didn't use it) but there was no storage space to place our items. The master bedroom closet was locked and the one in the hall was full of supplies, and then the kitchen pantry type closet was missing a door and had the stackable washer/dryer. Therefore our stuff just ended up in a pile on the floor in the living room for the time were there. If we had more than 2 adults and 2 kids, it would have been a bit more tight. We were skiing the entire weekend so really didn't have to spend much time there. Internet or cable up there has always been a challenge, not just with this unit and it would freeze or disconnect us, even when trying to use our computer to watch something since many of the channels said we had to log in and we couldn't find the information to sign in (but that could be my fault, I might have missed it in the binder). I would think that maybe the binder could be updated, it appeared to be outdated with some information, however we had owned up there for over 20 years so it wasn't as big of a deal for us. I was a bit surprised that we had to do all the trashes, strip the beds, etc or the fees seemed quite high. Typically at others we have not had to do quite so much, even when we would leave our prior unit, we didn't have to do any of those things, maybe the contract?

Northern Michigan beauty

This was the third year we have stayed here. There is a beautiful view of Lake Bellaire, a short drive to the town of Bellaire, great places to eat, and a cozy fireplace. Everything is there to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. We hope to be back next year.

Cozy condo for Christmas break

We were happy with the property which worked great for our family of 5. Close distance to the ski hill which is what we came up for! Kitchen had enough supplies for us to make meals at the condo and beds were comfortable. The fireplace was a nice bonus to relax each night.

Bellaire visit for Torch Lake.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. We were easily able to access torch lake and many other surrounding lakes. We appreciate the time and effort these property managers take to give their guests the best time ever. Along with the extra time they spent calling us on the phone to talk to us about things to do nearby as this was our first time in Bellaire. We loved every minute of being up here and we will 100% be back!

Awesome Condo

Great condo to make as your home base while you check out the surrounding areas. Fully stocked with kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom supplies. The balcony and view are great. Kids loved the bunk beds and the master bed was comfortable. Nearby hotel amenities that we had access toowere top notch. Clean unit, easy check in. Great place to stay, would highly recommend.

Weekend Getaway

The condo was perfect for my family weekend getaway. We really enjoyed being able to utilize the pools at Shanty Creek as well as the private beach club at Lake Bellaire. The view from the back porch was beautiful as well and it was a great place to wake up with a cup of coffee and relax in the evening.

Overpriced & Over Rated

We personally thought it was a little overpriced for what we got. The beach was a little over rated. The condo was adequate, but certainly not worth the price paid. Closet was unavailable for hanging clothes Plenty of instructions in a binder, but most everything was out dated as far as instructions. The instructions upon leaving were a little over the top and some requests were more than we have ever experienced before. Would probably try a different location next time.

We had a great time enjoying the pools and beautiful private beach we had access to. We would love to stay again sometime. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Fully stocked kitchen including a keurig. Also, the property owner was kind and quick to respond to all questions we had. :)

Great views, nice accommodations

Very peaceful surroundings with a great view from the deck. Property is well-kept. Area seems more suited for winter activities unless you have a boat or rent one. Cute downtown area, but not much happening. Not terribly far from Traverse City and MackInac Island where there was more non-boating activities.

Shanty Creek for the win!

We had an amazing time staying in the condo. I think it had the best view out of all of them. It was very clean, very nice, and very comfortable. I can honestly say that we have never slept that well on vacation. The beds are so comfortable. The owners supply a lot in case you want to cook and have coffee. Its a beautiful condo with a beautiful view. We took advantage of the pass to use the indoor hot tub and pool at the resort, my cousin took us out on Torch Lake which is a short drive away. The "check in" process was as easy as it gets. I just can't say enough good things about this place. WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN!!!

Lovely area. No frills condo

Condo was fine. Be prepared as there is a keurig and no coffee pot. Only 2 keurigs were left in the place so we had to buy our own . We brought ground coffee. The master bed is a bit old and uncomfortable. It’s very bare bones. All the info in the condo is outdated regarding pools, etc. Otherwise the area is beautiful!
