About our Cabin
Cozy custom cabin with high-end amenities. 75% of our renters are return guests!
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 nestled 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!
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.
