Good location, close to downtown Bellaire. Beach nearby was very nice, quiet and limited to people who live at Shanty Creek. Pool at the complex is small but was clean. Nice screened in back porch that abutts to a wooded area with a stream.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are from southeast Michigan. We love bringing our family up North to enjoy some quiet family time.

Why they chose this property

We love Shorts brewery which is nearby :) We also love the proximity to other stores and restaurants plus all the cute towns to visit up north

What makes this property unique

Creek and wooded area behind the property is so peaceful! We love to sit on the back screened in porch and enjoy.

We are also family friendly--traveling with kids is stressful enough without worrying about packing all the necessities.
