Cute house. Well maintained. If an escape from city road noise to the ‘quiet up north’ is what you are looking for, this might not be a good fit for you. Road noise from M88 is noticeable.

The host was very accommodating from the moment of booking through the follow up after the stay. The home was beautiful and was stocked with everything you would expect! The attention to detail was apparent as soon as we entered the home.

Perfect Location for a Weekend Up North

Location was ideal for our group who was in the area for a ski race. Accommodations were very well thought out… from the coffee station, kitchen utensils, games, bathroom products. Highly recommended.

Everything was absolutely perfect, I highly recommend staying at this house, the host was quick to respond to questions and everything you could possibly need was there or close enough to go pick up. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Historic charm with a modern! Fully stocked home. If you forgot anything they probably had. The most thoughtful host and best experience we have ever had with VRBO. Thank you again.

Ski weekend

We recently stayed at this VRBO property for two nights , and it was absolutely perfect! The house was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The bedrooms were comfortable with cozy bedding. We appreciated the spacious fully-equipped kitchen, which made cooking meals easy. Very convenient to downtown and only a short ride to the ski hill. We would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone.

Torch Lake Getaway

We were very impressed and happy with our choice to stay in Bellaire at the farmhouse. There were 7 adults in our group. Everything from the location to the personal details and decor was amazing. We loved everything about it and it is exactly how it is pictured just beautiful. The host Brian is very easy to communicate with and is extremely helpful. We would definitely go back again.

Ski weekend

It was very clean and in great shape. It’s an old farmhouse so it creaks like one would expect an old farmhouse to do when walking around. If that bothers you, that’s something for you to take into account. It’s only around 10 minutes from Schuss ski slopes.

Great stay in Bellaire for our group of 7 adults (and many personalities!)! Everyone commented that it was one of the "best stocked" VRBOs they'd been in (plenty of kitchen essentials, TP, shampoo, etc.). The owners have done a lovely job updating the space, making it spacious and comfortable for all. We boated during the day (highly recommend M-88 Boat and Dock Rentals - where we docked our boat during our stay), and spent mornings and evenings mostly in the large kitchen and beautiful outdoor space. We also enjoyed a couple meals in the dining room, which was so fun. Easy walk to town for shopping or a snack/drink. A flattop Blackstone is provided, and I would prefer a traditional grill, but it was fine. Communication with Brian was top-notch throughout. Highly recommend this space!
