Very Tranquil

Very nice location and cabin. In the wood and on the water. Perfect place for quite and relaxation and close enough to town for fun and good food. Our stay would have been better if the dock had been put out. Only complaint is that the water pressure in the shower was so low it barely rinsed the soap off.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was cute and my family enjoyed the dock and having access to the lake from the property. Water pressure a little low in the shower but wasn't a big deal. We will definitely book again if ever in the area.

Great Stay!

Based on last years reviews I was expecting this to not be very clean but liked that we could bring our dog. We had zero complaints about how clean it was so were pleasantly surprised. Maybe new housekeeping since last year. Other reviews really helped with understanding the dock area and boardwalk so that was as expected. We had a great stay!

October weekend

We spent the weekend with 2 other couples to relax, visit the brewery, see the colors, and visit the area. The cabin was a great location and was comfortable overall. The walk to the lake was beautiful and it was a nice quiet area. The beds were a little soft for our group but might be great for others. The coffee pot was a bit slow brewing for us....we were all coffee drinkers and needed our morning java. Overall, we would stay again.

Enjoyed out stay!

Overall the cabin was exactly what I expected and the photos matched the cabin. The interior/exterior was a little dusty. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Several of the light bulbs were burned out but property was prompted in bringing more. The path to the lake was a bit of a hike, but the new dock was nice to take in the pretty view of the lake. I would stay again, as it was a restful and peaceful vacation.

I think we had unusual weather but it was raining and the cabin was very damp and hot. Thanks

We had a terrible sewage issue where the toilet didn’t work and sewage backed up into the shower numerous times.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I loved our stay in the cabin. The location is perfect, very close to downtown Bellaire and just a short drive to downtown Alden. Our toddler loved walking down the boardwalk every morning to check out the Loons on the lake, and he loved relaxing in the hammock. We had plenty of wood for the fireplace outside and took advantage of the dock for some stargazing.The cabin itself was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. All the basics were provided. The fireplace was perfect to turn on in the morning and evening when it was cool outside. The only thing that was a little unsatisfactory was the condition the mattresses, which were pretty uncomfortable in all of the bedrooms. Overall, I would say it was a lovely stay!

Relaxing weekend in Bellaire

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was well represented on the rental page and there weren't too many surprises. The childrens swing pictured was unfortunately not hung up, it appears as though perhaps it had recently become damaged and they removed it before it became a safety concern. The stay was very relaxing and the cabin was cozy, but there were quite a bit of dust and cobwebs as though it hadnt had a deep cleaning in awhile.

Great little place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was a little concerned because some of the other reviews mentioned it being dirty but we didn't find that to be the case. It was fine. The shower is a pretty dated and the water pressure leaves much to be desired but the beds were comfy. Loved being able to be on the water but it is a little bit of a hike from the cabin to the actual lake but the dock is great. It is mucky around the dock and there's no beach but if you have a boat you can drive over to the Grass River sandbar pretty quickly. All in all, we thought it was perfectly fine for the amount we paid. Loved having 3 bedrooms.

Loon Landing without the landing dock.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1. When we arrived we almost could not enter because the lockbox is old and malfunctioning. 2. The photo features a long dock extending into the lake (look at the photo here on this page. The lake access was the entire point of renting Loon Landing. But the dock was not installed, so there was no lake access. 3. The two T.V.s in the house did not work. (They powered up but the controls were so out of order thet it was impossible to access the cable service). The cabin was clean and in fine condition, but we won't be renting again from your company.

Perfect location, clean and cute house, but a few issues.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great, inside of home was very clean. The staff at the management company was kind and polite. The toilet stopped flushing on night one and over flowed, my dad plunged for over an hour, no luck. The emergency number was not taking calls and I couldn’t reach anybody. The management company was kind the next morning and sent somebody out, but not while we were out all day, the plumber didn’t arrived until after 5 while we were all home trying to get dinner around. The trash bins were stuffed full and there was nowhere to place our garbage, I mentioned it to the management company when I called, they indicated somebody would stop by and rectify the situation and nobody came. We had to keep our trash in our cars all weekend so animals wouldn’t get into it. Outside of property was littered with garbage and broken yard equipment. Things happen, and the staff I spoke with with lovely, but could have been much more efficient.

Charming cottage

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming wood cottage near the lake, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, the professional management team made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our stay. The cottage itself is a delightful retreat, beautifully crafted with rustic wood interiors that create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The views of the lake were simply breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop for our morning coffee and evening relaxation. The location is ideal for nature lovers, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, fishing, and kayaking just a stone’s throw away. We took advantage of the nearby trails and spent hours exploring the serene surroundings. Inside, the cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living area was perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Overall, our stay at this wood cottage was nothing short of magical. The combination of stunning natural beauty, a well-maintained property, and exceptional management made for an unforgettable experience. We are already planning our return visit! Thank you for an amazing getaway!

Wonderful stay in beautiful Lake Bellaire

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect getaway location on quiet Lake Bellaire. Very close proximity to multiple lakes and towns to visit and explore. Perfect spot to unwind and detach. Hunting for Petoskey stones on the shores of Lake Michigan became our go to activity. Highly recommend a trip up to Charlevoix. The 4 days we spent wasn’t enough!

Beautiful location

The cabin was cute and the location was nice. The cabin needs a deep clean and a few repairs. Though on a lake, there is no where to swim from the waters edge. Grand kids were too scared to go in from the dock. Very disappointed about that.

Cozy Cottage

The cottage is cute and cozy, very rustic feeling. We were looking forward to being on the lake but unfortunately is is not a good area to swim. The water is extremely mucky and we wish this was put in information about cottage. There could also be some updates with the TV. Was not set up properly for use and no way to stream anything. Only a vcr and dvd player with no movies provided to use. Great place to stay is you wanna see the beautiful lake but not go in. We also appreciated that this cottage was pet friendly and close to downtown Bellaire.

Great location!

We enjoyed the location the most, halfway between downtown Bellaire and Dockside in Torch. I’ll echo the previous reviews that the the cabin was not as tidy as the other places we stay on our yearly visits to Bellaire. It wasn’t dirty but could use a good cleaning under and around furniture, under the beds and have dog hair vacuumed off furniture. If you are looking for a rustic up north vacation, this would be great for you!
