Whether you're here for summer fun, fall foliage, or winter skiing, you'll find the perfect balance of comfort and adventure right outside your door.
Inside, the home features two cozy bedrooms upstairs and one on the main level, along with a full bathroom on the first floor. The living area is bright and welcoming, with comfortable seating, a dining table for meals or board games, and a fully equipped kitchen ready for whatever you’re cooking up.

Torch Lake, one of Michigan’s most stunning inland lakes, is only a ten-minute drive away, and the year-round recreation of Shanty Creek Resort is just six miles down the road.
This home is designed for every season. In the summer, enjoy lake days, hiking trails, and evenings on the patio. In the fall, take a color tour through the vibrant northern woods and come back to relax with a glass of wine or hot chocolate. In the winter, bring your skis or snowboard to Shanty Creek, skate across the street at the park, or simply soak up the festive charm of Bellaire’s downtown. Spring is peaceful and quiet—a great time for cozy weekends and exploring local trails and lakes with fewer crowds.
