Phillips Point Bellaire Cottages

Beach Front in Bellaire at Phillips Point

The perfect “LAKE FRONT” vacation getaway only 45 minutes from Traverse City featuring one-year-round home/cottage which can be rented during season & off season, plus 2 classic "Bellaire" cottages.

Boyne Highlands Condo

Our family has enjoyed staying at Boyne Highlands now during both the winter to enjoy snowboarding and during the summer. This resort has things for the entire family to do year-round. One of the most amazing memories is their indoor/outdoor heated hot tub/pool that the kids absolutely loved.
