Great place and location! Will definitely stay here again!! ##### Carrie R. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynn H. 6 Feb 2018 #### Great location The property was clean and convenient. The only improvement I would suggest would be to have more bath towels and also wash the bed pillows. Otherwise, very nice, well equipped property conveniently located near the ticket booth and red lift. ##### Lynn H. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalia P. 7 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The unit was perfect for our group! Location of the condo is right on the slope. Unit was clean and has everything for wonderful stay. Our group was enjoying the stay in the condo and the time on the slopes. Definitely will rent it again.Thank you, very much ##### Natalia P. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David B. 23 Aug 2017 #### great the condo was very nice, we would stay there again. A couple suggestions: the hand railing on the outside produced a sliver for one of us the fireplace produced a very smoky odor, so we did not use it this is not related to the facility, but there was a group of ladies next door that started a fire in a portable firepit that smoked up the entire area. very inconsiderate! Otherwise, everything was great! ##### David B. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela J. 21 Aug 2017 #### Perfect for our week stay in Bellaire The condo was perfect place for our family. Plenty of room. The place was extremely clean. I like that there were minimal knick knacks around the condo, very clean look. there were plenty of towels, blankets. Everything we needed. The cookware was very nice. I'd say nearly new. My favorite thing. The king bed was comfortable. Kids loved having upstairs to 'themselves'. We thought not having a TV in master bedroom was going to be s problem, it wasn't. Kids had one upstairs. We had a couple of rainy days but made the best of it, we stayed in all day & played board games. We roamed the grounds a few mornings on scavenger hunts & that was fun. All in all, this condo worked very well for us & we would highly recommend. We did not have to engage with owner as everything was on point. ##### Pamela J. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Tammy F. 16 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot for riding in and out with kids. Beautiful view of slopes. We had an amazing time besides the group below us which was very loud and partied all weekend. The condo we were in was very nice, clean, great spot for ski in and out. Was super nice with kids because they could come in from riding eat and head back out as they pleased. We will definitely rent this unit again. ##### Tammy F. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janelle S. 10 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday weekend We stayed here for my moms 60th birthday. Although we spent most of the time out on Torch lake this is a great condo! We would come back in a Heart Beat. Very clean, well stocked kitchen, great location! ##### Janelle S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorraine R. 27 Jul 2018 #### Great place! The condo was clean and tidy. Seven of us stayed there comfortably and would definitely stay there again! ##### Lorraine R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### judith a. 26 Jul 2018 #### Lovely. This property was lovely...clean, high quality, comfortable, beautiful setting!! My only complaint is having to dispose of the trash ourselves. I think this should be included in the (not inexpensive) cost of the rental. This particular trash bin was hidden, hard to reach, and there was a sign on the door (required to be used to get to the bin)...stating, "authorized personnel only!" ##### judith a. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### terry a. 12 Mar 2018 #### Awesome condo Great view of slopes ##### terry a. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan P. 20 Jul 2017 #### Comfortable Bellaire summer weekend. The condo was clean, well furnished and roomier than it appeared in the online photos. The outdoor deck was a nice feature in the evening. The location was convenient. We only were in the condo for two nights and did not have the time to use the pool or visit the Lodge which was directly across the street. We would rent this property again if we have another opportunity to visit Bellaire. ##### Susan P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie W. 5 Jul 2017 #### Great property The condo was very nice and comfortable. Had everything we wanted and more. Will definitely rent and recommend this place again. ##### Natalie W.

Very clean, comfortable and well stocked. Loved the fireplace. The huge entryway was perfect for all the ski gear. There were 8 of us and we fit very comfortably. ##### Amy S. ---
