Hôtels de charme à Forest Home Township

Looking for an amazing place to spend your vacation this summer? We invite you to spend a restful week in Northern Michigan on the third most beautiful lake in the world at our newly updated, comfortable family cottage on the lakefront. The first floor features a kitchen with all new appliances that has easy service from kitchen to dining area. The large family dining table easily accommodates 12 people for meals. The downstairs living/dining area has a stunning view of the lake with a window wall across the entire front of the house. You will love sitting at the table with your cup of coffee watching the lake every morning. The spacious living room has a stunning rock fire place with plenty of comfortable seating and blankets. There’s a smart tv with Apple TV attached for those cool evenings or rainy days and a cupboard full of board games for those who have a competitive spirit. Attached off the dining area is a sun porch with a door that can be closed. Perfect for those days you have to do some remote work or if you just need a quiet place to sit and read. The cottage has a spacious wrap around deck with furniture that is perfect for sitting and soaking in the sun and the view at all hours of the day. A hammock tucked under the trees overlooks the lake and is the best place for reading….or for taking a nap. An outdoor swing overlooks the dock and is a favorite place to sit and watch the sun go down while sipping on a glass of wine from a local winery. Your kids will love roasting marshmallows at the fire pit on chilly evenings. The lake is literally 50 feet from the front deck; there you have access to a small waterfront beach, a large sandbox with sand toys for the kids, a canoe, and a couple of poke boats. There’s also a dock with a bench and a tie-out anchor for your boat. The swimming is unparalleled as is boating, sailing, skiing, and tubing with your own boat. There are boat rental places around the lake and a few public boat launches if you decide to bring your own. Torch Lake is conveniently located close to Traverse City, Leelanau, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Charlevoix, and Petoskey. There are several very good hiking trails close by and the options for different day trips are endless. If golfing is your hobby there are 10 world-class golf courses within close driving distance. The local breweries, wineries, and restaurants feature delicious and unique food and drink. You definitely won’t want to miss out on the fresh fruit that changes with the seasons from the surrounding nearby orchards. Come experience the "Caribbean" of North America with a crystal clear lake and the best sunsets in Michigan.

We never rent the lower level to other guests if you have reserved our main level home. However, we reserve our lower flat for personal use if you do not add it to your reservation. We keep a low profile; you can use the entire deck, gazebo, and fire pit exclusively. The two units are entirely separated by a deadbolt locked door at the bottom of the stairway from the main level. Many guests with parties of 8 or under still request the lower level as it provides almost double the space and they have exclusive use of the entire home. Our main level home, which has a deck, a gazebo, and an incredible view, is the principal guest attraction. We have a better view of Lake Bellaire from the main level than from the Shanty Creek Lake View Restaurant & Bar. Our main level provides ample space for sleeping of 8 persons and fewer. If your party is over 8, you must lease both units. During the summer months, June - August, and the Winter season, December 15 - March 15, we require a minimum 4-day stay. We use hospital-grade disinfectants to clean our entire home before guests arrive.

A blend of tongue & groove cedar wood on the walls & ceilings, along with touches of drywall, create a welcoming & warm environment. The wall of windows & the grand natural stone fireplace invites you to step into the sunken living room to relax and take in the panorama overlooking Lake Bellaire. Spring, Summer Winter or Fall this incredible Lakescape picture will keep you coming back. The stone fireplace extends to the vaulted ceilings & is a handsome accent to both the living and dining rooms. Whether prepping a meal in the kitchen, entertaining guests in the dining room, living room, or lower level, your attention will always be captured by the vistas. The kitchen enjoys cabinetry that was hand-crafted by a local artisan. People might even offer to help with the dishes as the views are just as stunning from there. There is plenty of space for more than one cook, & a side door allows convenient access to the surrounding multi-level deck. The main floor offers three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, large laundry room w/washer, dryer, wash tub & plenty of storage.

It has a full kitchen and a 13 x 18 ft sleeping room area with side by side king- and queen-size beds. Vertical blinds can be used to privatize the bed area from the kitchen/ living room area. There is a full bath and even a sauna. This lower level is a separate suite. It can be used as an additional guest quarter. The massive stone fireplace also accents the lower-level family room. Step outside to a lawn area with outdoor furniture to sit and enjoy the panoramic views of Lake Bellaire. The evenings are a good time to gather around the nearby outdoor fire pit. Outdoor spaceImagine kicking back on 1400 SF of deck where you can peacefully relax while taking in the breath-taking views and panorama. Wildlife frequents the property. Bald Eagles, red hawks, deer, foxes abound …. a view that you’ll never grow tired of. Summit and Schuss Mountains in the distance east and the Torch Lake Cellars winery settled on a mountain top across the Lake from our home to the west. There is a 20 x 12 foot gazebo on our deck which is our favorite place in the house. It’s an outdoor living room with the same spectacular views we’ve been talking about. We have both living and dining furniture under this covered porch which has the most remarkable views of Lake Bellaire!Many updates have been made within the last four years, to include a new gazebo, deck stain, water boiler, A/C, carpet & bathroom flooring. Our second home is a perfect family getaway anytime of the year. Since it is our second home, you’ll find all the creature comforts that make for relaxed and comfortable living.Things to doOf course, there is lots to do in this exceptional part of northern Michigan and very close by. Swimming and boating in Lake Bellaire in Central Intermediate Chain of Lakes and Torch Lake all are just minutes away and these are just to name a few. Antrim county has more lakes than any other county in Michigan.This is a wonderful place to spend the winter holidays. It’s a most beautiful time of the year here. BUT ONLY IF you have FOUR-WHEEL or ALL WHEEL DRIVE, with all season tires. Most of the time snow is not an issue, but you never know with Mother Nature. We use a reliable snow removal company, but with this house, you should have all-wheel or 4 4-wheel drive to navigate the drive up and down the hill, just in case of an ice storm. Salt and sand barrels are strategically located along our private drive for this situation. The views during the winter are Icelandic, which I find more beautiful than the summer. You see the snow-covered lake under the moon and the stars at night. It’s almost pitch dark out there, which is so cool because there are hardly any house lights around the lake during the winter. This is especially true on our side of the lake, mainly comprised of wetlands, preventing residential development along the lake waterfront. My absolute favorite time is Autumn when the enveloping forest explodes with yellows, reds, and orange. Our home is positioned on top of a hill that boasts the most breathtaking views of Lake Bellaire, which are astounding all year round. It’s one of the most unique panoramic views you will ever see.
