Other things to note
due to the cabin's remote location, we use Starlink for our internet. It usually provides high-speed access, but may sometimes experience brief interruptions.

there is one exterior security camera on the property by the garage. These are for us to verify cleaners and handymen have prepared the property for your stay.

Sister Weekend

We had a lovely time staying at your cabin for a short sisters' weekend. The cabin was beautifully decorated and had all the kitchen utensils we needed. The property itself is amazing. We will definitely return someday! Thank you very much!

Amazing property

We absolutely loved our time at the A Frame! The house is so well done, and all the little touches are so nice. The owners thought of everything you could need while away from home, so many little amenities. The property is nice, peaceful and well kept. We explored Bellaire, some local wineries and went to TC for the day. Can’t wait to be back next year for another serene winter weekend!

Host profile image
we are life-long michiganders who live in northern michigan near torch lake (rapid city)!

Why they chose this property

bellaire is one of the most beautiful and under-rated destinations in all of michigan. we bought both of our dogs from a breeder in bellaire and got married on intermediate lake! it hold a very special place in our hearts.

What makes this property unique

the a-frame is completely surrounded by the grass river natural area and finch creek, giving it a castle feel with un-matched privacy. the moment we first drove down the driveway, we knew it was a special spot!
