My name is Dean and I am a professional educator who has worked 25+ years in the State of Michigan. My wife Jennifer and I have two wonderful daughters who love every chance they can to enjoy time at the cabin. However, as they grow and get busier, time at the cabin is not as available as we would like, so we decided to share our treasure and offer vacation rentals a few weeks a year. We purchased the cabin in 2007 and spent a good portion of the summers of 2008 and 2009 remodeling. The remodel included an new kitchen, stipping the logs down to bare wood and restaining, new flooring, furniture, and a large outdoor patio. Fortunately the bathroom had been updated only a few years before we purchased. The experience was a true labor of love, (but we are in no hurry to do it again!) The cabin itself was originally constructed in the 1950's as part of the accommodations for golfers visiting the Bellaire Golf Course (closed in 2012). Hence the 6 cabins sharing the property are part of an association called the Bellaire Golf Colony. Located at the southeastern tip of the lake we enjoy spectacular sunsets, and peaceful privacy as the property to the south belongs to the Grass River Nature Preserve and Antrim County. We appreciate your interest in making your vacation include time in our little paradise. Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions. Situated in picturesque Northwestern Lower Michigan, the tranquility, subdued atmosphere and attitude of the region is perfect for someone wanting to get away from it all, but still have modern conveniences and comforts just minutes away. If the rustling of squirrels climbing trees, woodpeckers at work in the distance, and the soothing sounds of a Loon on the lake are the max decibel level desired, this is the place to be! Parking for two automobiles directly in front of cabin provided. Boat trailer parking available. Boat, canoe, kayak, and bike rentals are all available in the area.
