Family gathering

This was a wonderful home away from home for a family to spend quality time together. It had beautiful rustic decor and one of a kind artistic touches throughout. The pictures don’t do it justice! We had morning coffee on the deck watching the mist wake up the day and spent each evening around the fire pit. The kitchen items were extremely well stocked to to facilitate a large group and everything we needed to cook family dinners. Truly a great place to bring a large family together. The hosts were responsive and helpful. Checking in and out was very easy. We would definitely stay again in this beautiful setting.

The property was perfect for my family of 14. We had 9 adults and 5 children ranging from 7 months to 14 yo, there was plenty of room for everyone. We loved the lake and the outdoor space was beautiful. Lots of lawn games supplied along with paddle boards and kayaks for enjoying the water. Would definitely rent again.

Perfect Family Vacation!

We were just up at Tim & Holly's beautiful home in Bellaire with the family and could not have asked for a more wonderful and spacious home for us to get together! The house is beautifully decorated and had everything that you could need to have a great time! We play lots of yard games and they have a tremendous yard to do that. Tim was very quick to respond with any questions that we had. Great home and great hosts!!! Duane & Lisa

An ideal place to relax and enjoy natural! We were very fortunate to see the Starlink satellite 3 times! Hiked the natural trials nearby. Honestly, most of our time was spent on the backpack. Just enjoying the views.

Fun in Bellaire

We - three generations - had a good time at this property in Bellaire. The house, as the description states, is on Intermediate Lake, and our family enjoyed our own inflatables (rafts and volleyball) as well as the paddle boards and the canoe provided by the homeowners. We also rented a jet ski for a day. Both the indoor and the outdoor spaces provide plenty of spaces for gathering, but the lay-out of the house and the yard allow for privacy as well. We enjoyed the large sectional, the multiple dining spaces, the spacious deck, and the fire pit. The yard is large enough for outdoor activities such as corn hole ( boards are provided by the owners), whiffle ball, and tag too. The sunrises were stunning, and we never tired of watching a pair of swans gliding in the canal and on the lake and listening to the loons. While we spent a lot of time outdoors, inside there were a large dollhouse, a tub of Lincoln logs, and a game table (hockey) that were popular with our family as well. There was plenty to do, rain or shine, and we will remember our time in Bellaire fondly.

Bachelorette Weekend

This house is AMAZING!! The views are breathtaking, we used the paddle boards and kayaks and it was so much fun! Quiet neighborhood owners had great communication and left us a cute care package for the weekend. House was clean and easy to find no AC but the window air conditioners were enough to keep us cool. 10/10 recommend and I would stay here again!

Loved our stay

This house had everything we needed and more. The lake was beautiful loved driving to the north end of the lake to get ice and drinks. Patio furniture was top notch and the auto shade on the deck was a great touch. Bellaire was five minutes away very convenient. Would love to stay here again.

Perfect Setting

Tim and Holly’s house is set perfectly on Intermediate Lake. The morning sunrise view from the deck over coffee was an excellent way to start the day. The house is well equipped with everything you need for a weekend or a week long stay! Tons of room makes for a comfortable setting! We loved our week at this house, and wish we had longer!

50th Anniversary Celebration

My two brothers and I booked a week to celebrate a milestone anniversary for my parents. There were 15 of us ages 6 to 70 and the house and property exceeded expectations! Great location for fishing, paddle boards and kayaking. The yard was perfect for any and all yard games including some epic croquet matches.

Great location-Gorgeous house.

Huge waterfront lot with amazing views. Abundant wildlife viewing - be sure to bring your binoculars! We saw swans, loons, bald eagles, otters, and lots of other birds and waterfowl like warblers, orioles, hooded mergansers, etc. The kayaks, paddle boards and canoe are a plus. We enjoyed them. There is family games everywhere. The kitchen is fully equipped. The communication with the owners is top notch. The power went out in the neighborhood and we had no idea until we went outside and heard the backup generator going. Bellaire is a nice cute town. This is a wonderful place to reconnect with family and nature. Five stars!

About the host

Hosted by Holly A Schienke

Host profile image
I am a Registered Nurse and my husband Tim is a Mechanical Engineer. We have four beautiful children ages 2,11, 13, and 15. We bought this home to make memories that will last a lifetime with our children. It has been a dream come true.

Why they chose this property

This property is as peaceful as they come. I truly believe this is one of the best locations on the lake. Out of the front window you see pristine unobstructed views. The south side of the property is situated on the canal for boat hookup, fishing, or enjoying the water. The north side of the property is a wooded parcel. It does not get any more private than this! There is an island out front, great for taking the kayak on an adventure.
Most of the property at the lower end of the lake is naturally wooded, therefore there are very few properties in the view. You can often see eagles flying on this end of the lake, as well as loons, geese, ducks and swans. There are pristine views of the island in the center of the lake. The water is warm and calm, great for skiing, tubing, and water sports. One of the best parts if you have children who enjoy being towed in a tube or skiing, there is very low boat traffic. It is a safe location making this experience fun and low stress.
We have an open area on the front lawn for yard games. Games that are provided include corn hole, ladder ball, bocce ball, yard Yahtzee, yard Jenga, yard Dominoes, and several others. For rainy days there are plenty of board games inside the house.
We bought this home to watch our 4 children grow up and make memories for them to enjoy for a lifetime. We hope you will share those same memories with your friends and family.
The location is awesome, close to Leelanau Peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, and many more great places to tour.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, lake frontage, canal frontage, close proximity to many great cities and area attractions, quiet, quaint town, relaxing, it is a little slice of heaven!
