About this property

Cozy custom cabin with top-of-the-line amenities in Bellaire, Michigan.

This custom built cabin is your northern Michigan getaway from it all! Located 5 minutes from Schuss Mountain and 10 minutes from downtown Bellaire, you'll find all the amenities you need in this cozy cabin: full kitchen with custom barn-wood island for extra cooking space, large Amish dining table for game nights, electric woodstove for warming up after skiing/snowboarding, spacious upstairs loft with large TV for kids entertainment, and so much more.

We started rented the cabin in 2018 and we already have families renting with us for the second and third time. The cabin is nesteled in Swiss Village East, a wooded, picturesque community with the Cedar River, a blue ribbon trout stream, just a short walk down the road. Skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing are 5 minutes away at Schuss Mountain, and shopping, dining, and entertainment can be found in downtown Bellaire, a quick 10-minute drive.

GOLF- Michigan's best golf courses are just around the corner. Shanty Creek’s The Legend plays host to some of the country's biggest tournaments including the PGA Tour. Shanty Creek includes two other golf courses, not to mention the nearby Chief and Hawks' Eye. Grand Traverse Resort and Boyne Mountain golf courses are just 30 minutes away. At least 20 courses are within 45 minutes.

SKIING- Shanty Creek is constantly improving its downhill skiing, cross country, snowboarding and tubing offerings. Or take the short drive to Boyne Mountain. You can cross-country right out your door, but watch out – the White Pine Stampede may be coming down the trail!

BOATING- Cano

CANOEING- Try the Jordan River, just 20 minutes away. Take it all the way down to beautiful Lake Charlevoix. Or head down to Grayling and try the Au Sable or Manistee.

HIKING, CAMPING, and SNOWMOBILING- Take advantage of over 40,000 acres of public lands some of which is immediately adjacent to Swiss Village East. You can't beat the natural beauty of Grass River Natural Area, Glacial Hills, and the Cedar River Natural Area.

FISHING- You just can't beat the rainbow trout found in our very own Cedar River. Or try any of the area lakes. ​

FOOD- From some of Michigan's most elegant dining (Ellsworth's Rowe Inn) to fast food (McDonald's) to informal Chinese, you'll find it all.

NATURE- Deer, wild turkey, fish, birds, and fox abound. Try hunting for morel mushrooms!

NIGHTLIFE - Short's Microbrewery in Bellaire has become a dining and music venue drawing microbrew connoisseurs, foodies and music lovers from throughout the Midwest. On holiday weekends, be sure to come early. We know you will stay late.

OTHER ATTRACTIONS- Horseback riding, indoor miniature golf, sand dunes, great shopping, theaters, movies, and more.

Nearby Towns - Visit Charlevoix (30 min.), Traverse City (45 min.), Petoskey (45 min.), and Mackinac City (90 minutes).

Unfortunately, there is no hunting allowed on our property and this home is not meant to be used as Deer Camp.

Summer Vacay
We loved the size of the house. It was bigger than other places we have stayed. The kitchen and large dining area was especially nice.

Was a great little cabin
This cabin was really nice, they offered a ton of little amenities like river tubes and a canoe. It was clean a quaint but spacious. The beds were very comfortable and it's a very short drive to torch or a local store.

Family Vacation
This is our second year staying at this property. The home is located in a great area in northern Michigan and offers everything you need for a great stay. We have stayed at other properties in the area that lack a lot of common household items where this one makes you feel just like your at home. In addition we have always had great support when we had any questions. A couple days on torch lake, a day at Mackinaw Island, kayaking on the rivers and a day in Traverse City, the home is in a great location to hit all the places you want for your vacation!

Wonderful!
This property is beautiful and meticulously maintained! We were wowed the moment we walked in. Reasonable distance from many beautiful places. We had a great time and would absolutely stay here again. The ONLY thing I would suggest is mirrors in the bedrooms! We are a family with three teenage daughters and having extra mirrors would’ve made getting ready easier!

Beautiful cabin great location
We had a wonderful stay. It’s a lovely cabin (with friendly owners) tucked away but still close to things to do. We were able to go to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Petoskey area. The board games are perfect for late night fun and the beds are super comfortable. My daughter enjoyed climbing the ladder to the loft. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Host profile image
We have always dreamed of owning a cabin in Northern Michigan and we love the fact that we can share our home with other families.

Why they chose this property

We love this cabin because it has the rustic feel of being in Northern Michigan, but has amazing amenities. We are just a few minutes from Shanty Creek/Schuss Mountain, Glacier Hills, Grass River Natural Area, Shorts Brewery, Mammoth Distillery and 30 mins from Charlevoix and 45 mins from Petoskey.
