Bellaire is a gem of a northern Michigan town — charming, walkable, and perfectly positioned between Torch Lake and the wine country to the south. Short's Brewing draws visitors from all over, and their outdoor beer garden is a summer institution. The Intermediate River runs right through downtown for kayaking and canoeing. Shanty Creek is 7 minutes for golf and outdoor activities.

In autumn, the surrounding trees and landscaping become part of the experience, with Antrim County known for impressive fall foliage. The home’s white Victorian exterior, traditional porch, and seasonal décor create an especially picturesque setting during peak color season.

Torch Lake — one of the most beautiful lakes in North America — is 10 miles away with sandbar gatherings all summer. Traverse City wine country is a 30-minute drive.

Ideal for family reunions, multi-family gatherings, or groups celebrating a milestone summer trip.

Guests will have full access to the home during their stay! There are a couple of locked closets used for extra cleaning supplies.
