Description

Built for families and groups who want Northern Michigan in its best season.
The space
Two wooded acres in Bellaire, half a mile from Torch Lake, and a stone wood-burning fireplace waiting when you get back. Eagles Landing sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms, with a game loft stocked with shuffleboard, a Golden Tee arcade console, and a poker table.
October is when this property earns it. The hardwoods on the lot turn from the top down, peak color lands roughly October 8 through 23, and Glacial Hills Pathway runs 30 miles of trail through the same color 10 minutes away. Torch Lake goes quiet and glassy once the summer boats come out, which is the best time of year to actually see it. Short's Brewing has the fall lineup on tap in Bellaire, nine minutes out. Shanty Creek's five courses stay open through October and the shoulder-season rates are the best of the year.
When the sun drops at 6:30, the backyard firepit pulls everyone together under mature hardwoods with zero light pollution overhead. Inside, the fireplace runs, the game loft fills up, and nobody is in a hurry to leave.
3 bedrooms, sleeps 8. Built for families and groups who want the full Northern Michigan fall.
