Cozy custom cabin in Bellaire, Michigan - Bellaire

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.

​
