Tamarack Lodge winter visit

Great property - well suited for larger or multiple families. We had a great visit, good communication with host, and the property is well appointed. Close to the lake, Bellaire, Shanty Creek, etc.

Excellent vacation! The property is private and yet convenient to lots of activities and towns. We were able to get back and forth to torch lake with a beautiful stroll through grass river. The house provides lots of amenities and the kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards when we were not on the boat! We would definitely consider renting this house again!

I wanted to share how much I loved the view of the lake. The house having trees on all sides provided wonderful privacy. The only things we needed to provide were beach towels and food, as the house had everything else.

Lovely lake home

Tamarack Lodge is a beautiful home. However, the online pictures do not reflect the worn out furniture. The outdoor chairs are all very thread bare. The inside is great, very roomy and all the beds are very comfortable.

The kitchen is well stocked, except for the shortage of silverware. The linens were very clean. The throw rugs were all dirty. The kitchen rug was turned over so the dirtier side was underneath. The outdoor chairs were in rough shape. Both grills were very dirty and had to be cleaned before we could use them.

water sports galore

Home was bigger then pictured, very comfortable and allowed our small family to spread out. Kitchen was stocked with plenty for use and we did cook most meals. We were able to put a small fishing boat in the water for the week and the home had access to paddle boards and kayaks so we thoroughly enjoyed getting our fitness in on the lake. Great sandy beach for the kids to play and lots of outdoor space on the property as well. We enjoyed the access to town that we had without feeling like we were in town. the dirt road was perfect for taking quiet walks and jogs. the only thing we did off property was visit the grass river nature area which the kids loved and the charlevoix art fair was happening one day so we made that short drive. a lot is accessible. thank you for a wonderful week!jogs.

Tamarack Lodge is an excellent property on Lake Bellaire. The house and views were beautiful, and its central location made day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, the U.P., Petosky, and Traverse City easy. My family had a wonderful time. Our only concern was the apparent lack of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors; the detectors we saw were First Alert smoke detectors, and none were labeled as CO detectors. Aside from that, I highly recommend this property.

Great property

The house was roomy & big enough for 10 of us to stay. The lake is very peaceful & quiet. We rented a pontoon boat & kept it at the dock which was great to go out & explore the area & swim. The only “negative” was being unable to swim right at the house. The lake floor was soft and easy to sink in when walking.
