Bellaire Bed & Breakfast

Jim and Dave go beyond to make your stay a great experience. The wine social hour from 5 to 6 is a great time to get to know the owners and ask questions about things to do in the area. The breakfast at 9:00 is amazing... we have had several occasions now to experience the breakfast at Bellaire Bed and Breakfast and something you do not want to miss. Jim loves to garden and the grounds showcase his hard work. Take time to stop and spend a night or two or.... at Bellaire Bed and Breakfast.

Words cannot express how wonderful this place is! This was my 5th visit to this Bed and Breakfast. Each time I visit I feel as though I am coming home! Dave and Jim do a wonderful job at making their guests feel special. This visit was for my bachelorette party and I was so happy to share this place with my friends. The rooms include everything you could possibly need for a vacation. The breakfasts are outstanding and you never leave hungry!!! The inn keepers also wrap up leftovers for you to take with you of the baked goods. This Bed and Breakfast offers a wine hour, which is great to attend because you get a chance to know the owners and meet other people standing at the B&B. Bellaire is a quaint little town which many great shops and restaurants to visit! The B&B have mugs at Shorts Brewery you may use for a discount. If you are looking for a great Up North experience be sure to visit this place.

The room we stayed is beautifully decorated and updated with nice atmorsphere. The hosts are absolutely friendly and helpful. We had a great memory at Bellaire B&B.

We have stayed here twice and enjoyed it both times. Jim and Dave made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We appreciate the extra amenities they provide. Breakfast is wonderful. We will go back in the future.

Bellaire B&B is truly a world-class property. Had the pleasure to visit in April (2012) and we were thrilled by the property and service. I am also allergic to dogs and cats and although they do have them on the property, they are not allowed in the main house and I didn't have any hint of a reaction - a testament to the cleanliness of the rooms. Oh, come hungry - the breakfast is incredible.

We were greeted very warmly when we arrived by Jim and Dave. The room my husband and I stayed in(Tuscany room) exceeded our expectations for a 10 year anniversary getaway.We also enjoyed getting to know other couples during the Wine Social hour. I can not say enough about the breakfast! It was FABULOUS! You won't walk away hungry and if you do then that is your fault. lol... Kudos to Jim and Dave

A wonderful experience with expert and friendly hosts.!

Beautiful place, lovely room, friendly staff, lots of extras.

I reserved rooms at the Bellaire B&B sight unseen. I needed to be in Bellaire and the family enjoys B&Bs. For 30 years my wife and I have traveled throughout the US and Europe and, when we can, we stay at B&Bs. The Bellaire B&B is without a doubt one of the very best. Five stars all the way - and just over-the-top breakfasts.

Stayed at the Bellaire B&B for several days. I have never stayed at a B&B before and was convinced by a relative to give it a try. I would honestly have to say that it was by far the most relaxing and enjoyable stay at any lodging that I have ever had. The only complaint I have would be the bed and pillows. The bed and pillows were just too firm for my liking. Now taking into account that those are more "personal preferences", I understand that some people prefer that type of bedding. Jim and Dave were extremely hospitable, and both went out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home. Every day breakfast was different. And every day you felt that there was no way they could out do themselves, which they continued to do during our entire stay. The grounds were immaculate and everywhere you looked you saw their "personal touch". The most enjoyable time for me would have to be waking up as the sun came up and smelling the breakfast being made. After showering and making my way downstairs, I found the coffee already made and waiting. Taking a cup of coffee and venturing out on the front porch I was able to sit and relax, enjoying the sun coming up and watching the birds and squirrels start their day. The only thing that would have made this visit even more perfect would be if my wife could have made the trip with me. I think a future trip will definitely be in the makings.

My daughter and niece went with me to stay at this lovely place. We truly enjoyed everything about it. We decided one night was not long enough to enjoy everything.

Another amazing stay at the Bellaire B&B--enhanced this time by the delicious and fun Shorts Lovers Weekend. We love that our favorite room, the Tuscany, can be a destination stay for us as it is a great space in which to read, nap, visit quietly, and gaze out the window at the lovely scenery--this time it was to watch spring emerging from winter. Thanks, Jim, for the lovely grounds--such pretty spring flowers already in bloom. Thanks, Dave, for the delicious breakfasts. Thanks to both of you for taking such good care of your guests and for creating this new special weekend event that was perfect. Thanks to Monica and the rest of your staff, too, for all they do to make our stay such a great experience. As we depart each time, we already are looking forward to our next stay. Joanne and Roger

You couldn't ask for better service or accommodations. Every detail has been thought of and carried out to perfection. The rooms are magnificent, the breakfasts are delightful, and the atmosphere is almost magical. This is the perfect getaway spot for couples, friends, family gatherings, special occasions or just some R&R.

The bed and breakfast is beautiful. The hosts were very kind and witty. I felt that our room was a little bit small, but we will be back! :)

The Bellaire Bed and Breakfast was a home (although much nicher than ours) away from home. The service was wonderful and welcoming, given in such a way that makes you want to stay there an extra night. If you are ever in the North Country (Northern MI) this is the place to stay.

We have stayed at the Bellaire B&B before and know that we can depend on them for a luxurious and sparkling clean room, as well as creatively delicious breakfasts. There are lots of little touches, like fresh-baked cookies at our bedside, turndown service, and a guest living room stocked with snacks, pop, coffee, ice water, etc. Great place to feel pampered and get away from it all.

My wife and I travel often and stay in B&B's when ever possible. Jim and Dave are so attentive to detail and their guests enjoyment that you instantly feel pampered. The carriage house rooms are over the top lovely and breakfast is to die for.Bellaire is a cute little town with great food and brews.You will love this place. We do! D&L

The hosts are wonderful and make you want to return. Les

We came back for more! My wife and I are travel often. For our mid winter break we came back to the Bellaire B&B to celebrate our 30th anniversary weekend. As before, we greatly enjoyed the Tuscany Room with it's huge bathroom with jacuzzi tub. The bedroom with balcony also has a wonderful, warm gas log fireplace and love seat. The views outside are of a winter wonderland. At the gourmet breakfast we really enjoyed the company of other couples having a good time too. Never had a better breakfast! We walked 5 minutes downtown and enjoyed great meals at Lulu's and Shorts. On Saturday night we had the great pleasure of discovering a terrific new band at Shorts too. For a weekend to remember fondly stay at the Bellaire B&B and enjoy it all. We've already reserved our room for next year! Doug and Laurie from Traverse City

the innkeepers make you feel so welcome and comfortable. there was even a bottle of champagne waiting for us to help celebrate our anniversary.

This was the most comfortable, relaxing and beautiful place I've ever stayed in Michigan. The attention to detail was excellent. The entire stay was outstanding! I will definitely go back.

This was the most fabulous weekend get away I have ever had the privilege of experiencing! While there are great adventures abounding right outside the door in the delightful town of Bellaire - you won't want to leave the luxurious comfort and hospitality Jim and Dave have created in their bed and breakfast. We couldn't stop marveling at all the careful details and thoughtful amenities that seemed never ending. DO NOT MISS BREAKFAST - amazing, delicious and if I could find a way to sneak out those recipes I would - Baked Oatmeal, Tollhouse Scones, Raspberry Danish, Banana Bread, delicious house blend coffee, cherry juice, etc..!! We also had the chance to join our hosts during their "Manager's Hour" for a little conversation and drinks; delightful, interesting wines and a whitefish pate I'll be dreaming about for a while!! We stayed in the Brighton Room in the carriage house and it was so perfect I almost hate to spread the word for fear it won't be available!! King sized brass bed, oversized claw-foot tub (with an assortment of bubble baths), overstuffed chairs, fireplace, softest throw blankets, dvd player, books and all gorgeously appointed and squeeky clean!! A quick jaunt downstairs to a common living room afforded more books, games, newspapers, snacks, sodas, glass and plateware - anything you could think of! And did I mention homebaked, hot out of the oven cookies at turn down service?!?! You absolutely MUST stay at the Bellaire Bed and Breakfast!

Outstanding from start to finish! My wife and I have stayed at numerous bed and breakfasts, and this one was the most comfortable. Warm and inviting- would highly reccomend. The food was amazing, but come hungry! You will leave with leftovers..

I recently spent a couple nights here with my boyfriend for his 30th birthday. It was fabulous! We stayed in the tuscany room and it was supremely clean and relaxing. The bed was deluxe with a beautiful gas fireplace at its feet. The jetted tub was huge and clean and they provided bath salts, amongst many other things (i.e., fresh baked cookies every morning!, water soda and snacks, the list goes on...) The hosts are wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area. The property is GORGEOUS! I can't say enough wonderful things about this B&B. We will be planning a trip back! (p.s.... a 0.3 mile, 5 minute, walk to Short's Brewery... PERFECT!)

This is the place to stay for if you want to experience everything that a bed & breakfast should be. This was our second visit and we hope to come back again. The hosts, David & Jim, have thought of absolutely everything to make guests comfortable. Each room is uniquely decorated and perfectly clean. The library is inviting with its fireplace, wine and snacks, and good company. The breakfast is to die for! We enjoyed rasberry stuffed French toast with maple syrup, fresh fruit and yogurt, homemade muffins, and breakfast sausage along with specialty coffee and drinks. You will not be disappointed!

This was our second time staying here and the food, rooms, and hosts were outstanding.

The Bellaire Bed and Breakfast was our first experience outside of a hotel, and was truly wonderful. We stayed in the carriage house, had lots of privacy, a beautifully spacious room with lots of fun decorations, and by far the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. We loved having access to hot water with tea, how the owners specialized the meals for us, and that every time we left our room "fairies" came in and made it look lovely for us. We've already re-booked out next stay.

The Bellaire B&B is the finest we have ever stayed in (and we've been around)! Jim and Dave have thought of every detail and perfected them. The inn is so beautiful and immaculately clean. My husband and I have spent our anniversary here the last three years in a row and can't imagine going anywhere else. Wine time in the evening is a nice way to get to know the hosts and other guests. Dave's breakfasts are phenomenal!! I really can't say enough about the inn or recommend it highly enough! Also check out Lulu's in town for a four star meal.

We were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves upgraded to a fabulous room with a fireplace on a cool fall weekend. We loved the hospitality, all the little "comforts" and our hosts. The food was over the top as well.

My husband and I visited Bellaire for a quick trip for my birthday. Upon arrival, the staff was waiting for us and they even gave us a complimentary upgrade since there was some work being done below the room we had reserved. Also, because it was my birthday they gifted us a lovely bottle of champagne! The room was fantastic and super clean, and I don't even know where to start with the amazing breakfast! As their saying goes, "If you're hungry before 2:00pm, then you were too polite!" I definitely wasn't hungry before 2:00 ;-) I would recommend this B&B to anyone, and we cannot wait to go back!

I wanted to take my room home with me I loved it that much....Thanks for a wonderful Autumn weekend

We stayed in the beautiful Mackinaw room. Everything was excepional. The room, the grounds, the service, and the most wonderful breakfast ever! Jim and Dave were warm and friendly and paid attention to every detail. A most wonderful getaway.

We stumbled upon Bellaire Bed and Breakfast back in 2007, have stayed several times, and have recommended it to so many of our friends. Its a beautiful bed and breakfast, and the hosts Jim and Dave are warm and welcoming...food has always been wonderful too!! We have stayed in several bnb's and this is by far our favorite.

We have stayed at this B & B three times now and every visit is wonderful. The innkeepers are warm and inviting, the rooms are lovely and comfortable, the inn is pristine, and the food is fabulous. We have stayed in two different rooms - the largest and the smallest and both exceeded our expectations. The cookies in the room on arrival are delicious. The wine and appetizers are a great treat in the early evening and also allow you to mingle with other guests. Breakfast is delicious and they cater to any dietary needs - I am vegetarian and they happily accommodated my needs and those of my meat-eating husband! This B & B is conveniently located to downtown - easy walk to Short's or Lulu's which we also recommend. All in all, always a wonderful experience.

This is our hands down absolute favorite place to stay in northern MI. We stay here every year...sometimes multiple times a season! Jim and Dave immediately make you feel like old friends visiting again and again. The grounds are breath-taking while also maintaining a feel of cozy comfort. The main house and carriage house are impeccably decorated. You will quickly feel right at home in any season! And breakfast is always amazing!! There are a variety of rooms and prices for any budget (and they offer specials!) Don't pass up an opportunity to try this beautiful experience! You won't regret it!!

The B&B is located close to town which is perfect for walking to shops and dinner. Shorts Brewery is a fun place to visit and try different micro brews. There are not a lot of restaurants on the main strip. The B&B is beautiful and the Savannah room is very relaxing and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and the wine and appetizer hour is a nice touch. Exceptionally clean and the breakfast was very filling and tasty. I would highly recommend this B&B! We will return!

Wonderful weekend with friends. Great food,beautiful setting. Will be coming again. Love the B &B.

Absolutely beautiful. Very relaxing environment. Great time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bellaire. The innkeepers were great, the breakfasts exceeded expectations, and I loved playing with the dogs. :)

The best B&B experience we've had in years. We've all ready booked our next stay!

Weather was lousy so we couldn't take advantage of the porch or grounds but the stay was still great. Local eating establishments were terrific and the B & B with its wine hour, quiet night and first class breakfast made it special.

A beautiful home, a central location, a phenomenal value, and amazingly friendly hosts. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Bellaire.

As soon as you meet your hosts you know you are staying someplace special. From the nightly wine parties, to the most amazing breakfasts ever, a stay at Bellaire is sure to please. Jim and Dave are to be commended for providing their guests with more than just a room--you come away experiencing something magical.

The stay in the Bellaire Bed and Breakfast was fabulous. It started with Monica, who tried to accommodate all of our many wishes to find a good restaurant for dinner. We arrived late, however the innkeeper David still took the time to great us, chat with us and he also gave us great advice on how to spend this late evening in Bellaire. The room was fantastic, tasteful and clean. It was a room that made you feel comfortable from the first minute. It was the 50th birthday of my husband and they surprised us with a very tasty bottle of champagne. In the morning the second innkeeper Jim provided interesting morning conversation accompanied by a great breakfast. The tips that Jim gave us were insightful and allowed us to spend another wonderful day in the Bellaire area. Thanks again from Roman & Uli

Awesome breakfasts, fun wine and treats, delightful people and incredible hosts.

Everything is immaculate here and the owners are wonderful hosts. The fact that we've been back 7 times in the past 9 years should say a lot! Breakfasts are so delicious, the rooms are clean and every detail is thought of. Can't recommend it enough!

I stayed fro 2 nights during a slow time, just needed to get away fro awhile. Jim was the epitome of a good host and was very helpful in finding things to do nearby. The breakfasts were awesome. I will definitely be going back hopefully for a longer stay and to try one of the rooms in the carriage house.

One of the cleanest places I've every stayed! The linens were so soft and comfortable. Top notch towels too! Such nice guys! We had a wonderful time!

Our stay at the Bellaire B&B exceeded every expectation. The owners are wonderful people who love what they do and provide their customers with the details one would afford family staying over for the holidays! the gourmet breakfasts were to die for and and afternoon wine and appetizers were great after a day of sightseeing and shopping. The hosts know all the places to see and things to do and the fresh baked cookies each day in the room were a nice treat. The facility is beautiful inside and outside. This is a first class facility with great owners and hosts! Melissa

Very beautiful B & B. We had a very relaxing 4 days in the up north area.

I have stayed at the Bellaire B&B before. As usual, my recent stay was perfect: clean, beautiful home and grounds, hospitable, welcoming, excellent breakfast and wine hour and pleasant fellow lodgers.

Hosts and guests were very friendly, helpful and pleasant. The evening glass of wine was nice, we enjoyed White Fish dinner in town, then had a good nights sleep. Room very quiet. Breakfast super, as we left commented to each other, "I could do that again soon"

Innkeepers thought of everything to make it a wonderful stay. Beautiful landscaping & plentiful porch seating were so inviting...perfect place for a relaxing drink.

We arrived as guests and left feeling like family. Hospitality abounds from the owners, staff, and the guests who choose to stay here again and again. Don't miss wine hour at 5 pm, and don't miss the opportunity to meet the wonderful dogs, Mr. Chips and Tucker, during wine hour.

Third time at Bellaire B&B. The experience has far exceded our expectations every visit.

The perfect getaway. Jim, Dave and their staff "go the extra mile" to ensure guest satisfaction and return visits!

Beautiful B&B, very gracious hosts, great food and an excellent location.

Jim and Dave really know how to do it. They were wonderful hosts that not only made us feel comfortable, but were helpful in leading us in directions on how to spend our days and evenings. They know a lot about there surrounding area. And the food, oh my, the food is always exquisite and more than anyone could possible eat. I highly recommend all my friends to go and stay.

The Bellaire B&B is a beautiful "home away from home" spot, great for a special night or two away or just to use as a base while exploring the delights of Northern Michigan. The rooms are all beautifully furnished, the gardens are lovely, and innkeepers Jim and Dave provide both friendly service and fantastic food. The family style breakfasts are absolutely incredible--creative, bountiful, and delicious.

This B and B is all it's cracked up to be. What you see on the website is what you get! The Bellaire B and B is a lovely haven. David and Jim are master innkeepers with impeccable taste and attention to detail. Anything you could possibly need or want is available here! Bellaire is a darling town with cute shops and good restaurants. Traveling alone I felt safe and well taken care of. I will return soon!

Beautiful room. Food wonderful. Hosts very helpful and friendly.

Bellaire B&B was a beautiful inn with hands- on inn keepers. It is a wonderful place to get away from the busy city life.

This is my favorite B & B. The atmosphere is like visiting a relative's home! The breakfasts are truly gourmet--all home-made food with healthy fruit included as well! The innkeepers are exceptional in every way. I will be returning as soon as possible.

Beautiful room (Mackinac) & gardens; outstanding hosts; wonderful breakfast; thanks for the champagne!

We hit a home run by staying at the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast. By first sight, driving up the tree-lined driveway, I knew that this was something special. The grounds were impeccable; the room was perfect in every way; the breakfast was to die for. This was probably the best B&B that we have stayed in. Thank you so much!!

I was a little sceptic, planning a trip to somewhere I had never been.....Boy was I surprised! The grounds were beautiful, the hosts and their staff were super and the overall feeling of home was over the top. Tim and Kathy Hale Muncie, IN

Instead of going to Sonoma Valley in CA to wine country tour, we decided on the drive up north and toured the Tasting Rooms on Old Mission Peninsula. The Inn is beautifully situated in the lake and wine country... when we weren't lounging in the hammock after a superb breakfast. Oh and the 5-6pm wine hour was outstanding.

Your facility is stupendous. Even better are the innkeepers - professional, friendly, always out to assure a great stay. We will be back - again and again!

We had a fantastic stay the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast. The wine hour was a great way to socialize and the staff offered great suggestions for restaurants and activities in the area. The grounds were well kept and inviting. We especially enjoyed the privilege of being a "Mug Member" for a night at Short's :) We are already planning our next visit!

This isn't the first time I've stayed at this bed and breakfast. Every time I come, I'm never disappointed. The grounds are immaculate, gorgeous and calming. The rooms are charming and comfortable. The breakfast is something you will never forget. And don't forget about happy hour. From the cookies before bed to the chocolate truffles at checkout, you will come away feeling relaxed and spoiled. I can't say I've stayed at another bed and breakfast that even compares to this.

This is a wonderful place to stay. I would definitely stay here again.

We've stayed here many times, and have always been delighted with the elegance of the rooms, the exceptional attention to detail, the sumptuous breakfasts, and the outstanding level of guest service. This is the only place we'd ever consider staying in Northern Michigan, and we've never encountered its equal anywhere else in our travels. Bravo, Jim and David!!!

My husband and I have stayed at a few b&bs over the years and the Bellaire Bed and Breakfast is by far the best. The owners welcome you like your family and you instantly feel at ease. The wine hour is great and it is a great way to meet you breakfast companions. The breakfast are wonderful. The rooms are beautiful and inviting. I have recomended this bed and breakfast to my friends and family. I hope to continue to go their for years to come

Great people, wine and snacks and lively discussions. Unbelievably unique breakfasts. Can't say enough enough about Dave and Jim. The best people....

We stayed in the Mackinac room, but had a chance to peek in others. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious with its own personality. The carriage house has its own inviting living area apart from the main house, so guests are not on top of each other. A covered walkway connects the two buildings, which is a very nice feature during a downpour. As a gardener, I loved the flower beds Jim has created. Our hosts have been in the business 15 years and have got it down! We will definitely go back. Cheryl Weeks-Rosten

Simply could not have been any better....We Loved It! Thank You David and Jim

Our room, "Brighton" was meticulously cleaned and beautifully appointed, with a serene view overlooking the back gardens and woods. The British seaside theme with details of monkeys, parrots and lovely big comfy wingback chair. Not kitschy, but sophisticated fun. We always meet the most interesting people at Wine Hour and breakfast (which is scrumptious). When we return next month, I don't think we'll even get in our car to drive anywhere, but just walk to downtown, shop, dine and go bike riding. How relaxing.

From the moment we arrived we were given the white glove treatment. There was nothing more they could have done to make our visit more enjoyable and relaxing. Fresh cookies in our room when we arrived was just the start. We enjoyed sitting on the beautifully decorated porch with outstanding landscaping surrounding us while we enjoyed a glass of wine with the owners and other guests. I could go on about breakfast too. It was a great getaway for my husband and I.

Wonderful place to escape :)....within walking distance to a cute little town...hospitality and grounds are fantastic :)

These guys do a wonderful job, and it is a great value for a lovely location.

One time is all it took nearly 5 years ago and we return every year! A weekend here rejuvinates and revitalizes you so well, the moment you leave you can't wait to return!

Warm hospitality, helpful touring and dining tips for the area, excellent breakfasts, generous welcome, relaxing wine and cheese gathering at the end of a busy day, lovely gardens, impeccably maintained.

The Savannah Room was beautiful, but I did encounter a problem trying to get my sister to leave the Fainting Couch. It seems that it was too comfortable! Once I got her up off the fainting couch, Dave and Jim provided a delicious breakfast and outstanding service.

A very enjoyable stay. Dave and Jim were great hosts. The food and amenities were outstanding. Plan on returning in the future. Paul & Cheryl

This was an anniversary gift from our daughters. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we decided to return again just as a treat for us.

This B and B in Bellaire was beyond anything that we ever expected. The room, the Savannah Room, was gorgeous and you would swear it had just opened- plus chocolate chip cookies each night. Wonderful, wonderful breakfast plus a wine hour from 5-6 every night. The hosts, Dave and Jim, made us feel so welcome- and it is beyond clean!! Please check it out and stay here- the area is great for walking too.

My wife and I use the Bellaire Bed and Breakfast as the standard to which we compare all others. Nowhere else has come close.

Great room, great people, great food, and great conversation. We will return. Soon.

We had a most relaxing stay at the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast! Our room was comfortable with very quiet surroundings. The Bellaire B & B had many amenities available to us, including wine tasting, massages, great food, informative discussions about the home & its original owners, home-made chocolate cookies in our room and very helpful data regarding the town of Bellaire and its surrounding area.

Our nearly last minute request for an accomodation at Bellaire Bed and Breakfast was not only granted, but enthusiatically offered. We are seasoned B&Bers and everything at Bellaire was a notch above wonderful, especially the gormet breakfast, served with pride and a touch of storytelling and humor by our host.

We loved the social hour, breakfast was awesome and our room was lovely

We had a great time. Your home is beautiful and breakfast was great. Thank you for a memorable weekend.

No one takes care of all the details like the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast. I've been a Hospitality manager for almost 20 years now and I am always professionally and personally impressed with their operation!

We have stayed in Belaire area for many years. This place is a jewel. Every detail is thought of and attended to. We enjoy everything about the place: the rooms, grounds, people, food and well behaved dogs. Just go!

The house is beautiful and David and Jim were outstanding hosts. We had a wonderful visit. We wish it could have been longer and look forward to visiting again this summer.

We stayed at the Bellaire Bed and Breakfast for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! The service was fantastic, the food was filling and delicious and the rooms were very nice and clean. I would highly reccomend staying there if ever in Bellaire!

I purchased a gift certificate as a Christmas gift for my husband, we have stayed in Bellaire before but not at the Bellaire B&B. everything was great including the weather. we had a wonderful time and will certainly be back. maybe try it in the summer months.

Not much to say other than it was the best stay my significant other and I have ever had at a B&B. Would gladly do it again.

The room were outstanding we had a fireplace which added a cozy touch. The inn keepers were friendly and knowledgable about the area. Breakfast was awesome, the best we have ever had when staying a a B&B.

Can not imagine how our stay could have been more satisfying or comfortable. Jim & Dave are gracious and generous hosts presiding over very well run establishment. Their local knowledge was very helpful in filling out the things to do & where to go lists. Travelers advice; allow time in your schedule for the breakfast! Will highly recommend to friends and family.

Jim & Dave provide an experience that is like staying with friends. Luxurious accommodations and gourmet breakfasts make this an attractive choice. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting you with area attractions. We will stay at Bellaire B&B anytime that we are in the area!

Our Christmas gift to each other this year was the three-night stay at the Bellaire B&B, where we had enjoyed three previous stays this year. It was a wonderful decision, as David & Jim went above and beyond our expectations to make this a gift in many ways, including the gorgeous decorated Christmas tree in our room and the bottle of champagne to celebrate our retirements from academia. The breakfasts are delicious, with lovely taste treats and special attention to dietary needs as an added bonus. Conversation in the library, with the fireplace alight to warm us, was a special treat, too! Thank you, Jim and David, for your wonderful hospitality and special care!

We absolutely love this B & B! That, of course, is why we return at every opportunity. This is the first time we've seen it decked out for the holidays--truly lovely. Add the 6 inches of snow we had while we were there and it was a winter wonderland. Dave and Jim are fantastic hosts. The breakfast is so good and abundant that we never have to eat again until supper. If you like to be pampered and feel special while relaxing in beautiful surroundings, this is the place to go!

This is a lovely place for a relaxing experience. The innkeepers create a friendly climate. There is lively conversation during happy hour beside the fire, excitement about the breakfast menu, and attention to every detail.

We fully enjoyed out stay, were treated like royalty, were very relaxed, and fed a sumptuous breakfast the following morning. We certainly left wanting more. Thanks, Jim and Dave!

My wife and I had a phenomenal experience at the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast. We only had a one-night stay, and had booked one of the more modest rooms in the main house to keep costs down. When we arrived, we were offered a much larger, more luxurious room in their carriage house at no additional cost; they were hosting a murder mystery dinner (which we had been invited to but declined because of previously scheduled plans with friends), and worried that the associated noise might disturb us. The hosts also had menus on hand for all local restaurants, and could recommend specific dishes from each one. We were spoiled the entire time we were there, starting with the fresh-made chocolate chip cookies waiting for us in our room. They had snacks and water/soda available at all times if we needed, as well as a DVD library for use. The breakfast the next morning was fantastic. Although I lack the eloquence to appropriately describe it, the feature was a wonderful baked egg dish, with side dishes of maple-pecan bacon, vegetarian sausage, jam-filled muffins, and very fresh fruit with yogurt. Even without the very thoughtful room upgrade, the experience would have been outstanding on all counts. To put it simply--my wife and I are not usually the type to stay at a B&B, and we have plenty of friends we can stay with when we visit northern Michigan, but we will DEFINITELY return to the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast. Excellent job, David and Jim!

These guys know how to spoil you, with beautifully decorated and sparkling clean rooms, cookies on the bedside table, delicious breakfasts, and wine in the afternoon....the lovingly restored Victorian house is beautiful and well-kept, sitting at the end of a long driveway lined with trees. You can hide in your room and relax or socialize with other guests; the hosts are very personable and knowledgeable about the area if you want to get out and about. We particularly recommend the carriage house rooms, as they are large with extra amenities, and just steps across the porch from the main house. Five stars.

The B&B was hosting a murder mystery dinner in the main home for which we did not have reservations so upon arrival we were offered a complimentary upgrade to a more quieter room. The service and attentiveness was impeccable. The food is always quite dilectable. We will return once again!

great place with great hosts

David & Jim run a top notch operation with an extreme attention to detail. We always know we will have a fun and relaxing weekend right in the middle of so many things to do!

My wife and I visited for a couple of days and it was much more than I had hoped for. The breakfasts are delicious and the hosts are extremely pleasant. We were already trying to figure out when we were going to come back before we even left!

We love staying at the Bellaire Bed and Breakfast. The hospitality, the decor, the food, accomodations, special touches are all too many to begin to describe. We plan on visiting again next time we have a Northern Michigan trip. Loved everything about the Bellaire.

We always feel like we are coming home when we stay at Bellaire Bed and Breakfast. Jim and Dave know how to do things right, every time to the smallest detail!

We stayed two nights and quality was consistant both nights. On each night, amongst the other guests were return visitors. There really wasn't much that could have been improved upon. The inn-keepers ensured that guests were introduced and conversation barriers, if any, broken. Recommendations for dining and attractions were thoughtful and knowledgable.

This B&B is one block off the main road so there wasn't any traffic noise. It was a beautiful old home with lovely landscape. The owners were very warm and accommodating,"made us a lovely early breakfast since we had a meeting to attend. Bellaire had wonderful shopping and great food and brew for the evening entertainment. We've booked in again same time next year.

Jim and Dave made you WANT to return. You get a lot of value for your money. The food was amazing and they made you feel as if you were family spending the weekend at their house. Even the dogs added a family touch! The little town of Bellaire has some excellent restaurant options - which is an added bonus.

Oh my, Oh my... words are inadequate to describe the extraordinary bed and breakfast experience at the BelAir Bed & Breakfast. The breakfasts were a wonderful experience, the wine and "snack" hour at 5 to meet and greet a fun experience. If you enjoy escaping from the world for one day or one week, this is the place to go. The Brighton Room, reminiscent of early England, was a delight in every sense. Dave & Jim did not miss a detail in making our stay pure pleasure. Sitting by the cozy fireplace in our room, curled up with a book and a glass of wine was exactly what the doctor ordered.

From the moment we arrived we felt at home. David and Jim are incredible hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay most comfortable. The house is lovely, the landscaping is beautiful and the breakfast was the best we ever had. At 5:00 p.m. wines and bread with dipping sauces were served on the covered breezeway while we visited with other guests. Our stay at Bellaire Bed & Breakfast far exceeded our expectations. We loved it and will definitely return. Dick and Jane from Indianapolis

What a wonderful find! The Bellaire B and B was more than we could have hoped for. Sitting on the front porch reading just calms the soul. The hosts were so kind helping us celebrate our anniversary with a bottle of sparkling wine and recommendations for dinner. The house and gardens are kept to a very high standard. Breakfast was over the top. We will return on our next trip to Northern Michigan.

Though brief, our stay was truly exceptional. Attention to detail is the name of the game at the Bellaire B&B. Rooms are well thought out and every potential need has been considered. Breakfast was generous and delicious. Cookies on the nightstand were a welcome touch!

The Belleaire B&B is a delightful inn in a beautiful setting. Jim and Dave are gracious hosts, think of everything, and we had a lovely stay.

We spent a night at Dave & Jim's B&B in Bellaire and will definitely be back for a longer stay. The rooms were set up beautifully and there were many places both inside and outside the house, that beckoned us to take the weight off our feet and relax. The breakfast was out of this world and the hosts were warm and welcoming. We are planning another visit in Fall.

We experienced wonderful hospitality, accommodations, and mouthwatering breakfasts! Thanks Jim and Dave! Jan

Wonderful place to stay, excellent hosts, fun & entertaining city with lots to do & places to see. If you enjoy lakes, this is the place to stay.

Located in the picturesque village of Bellaire in Michigan's glorious northwest lower peninsula is the beautiful Bellaire B&B. Driving up the magnificent old tree-lined drive leads to the quiet elegance of this B&B. Warmly inviting yep beautifully appointed rooms welcome you. no detail is overlooked from a wine reception each evening, to a departing chocolate truffle. Jim and David are the consummate hosts.

Upon arrival. this B&B was different! Tree-lined driveway was inviting and ended with a majestic home and waiting host on the wrap-around porch. Once in the room my husband's exact words "I've never been so relaxed, ever."

It is rare when a traveler doesn't have even one complaint. Very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful grounds and friendly innkeepers. We recomment the Eastlake Room with the second story balcony. Superb breakfasts!

dave & Jim go out of their way to pamper & make sure your stay is special down to the finest details. By far the best B&B ever. AAA+

With a dozen or more visits over the years, Bellaire Bed & Breakfast is consistently outstanding in every respect!

Beautiful inn within walking distance to Bellaire Village Center. Kind and gracious innkeepers. Gourmet breakfast, wine tasting, and lots of pampering! Great B&B!

Everything was excellent! Excellent hospitality!

We continue to go back each year- love the accommodations, the proprietor, and the area.

We would recommend this B&B to anyone; it was homey, welcoming, wonderful food and hosts-reasonable prices!

Tom and myself had a great weekend. The breakfast is always a high point. For 2 reasons #1 The Food is great. #2 The other poeple staying at the inn. The room was really cool. First time staying in the main house. We will be back!!!

This is not the first time we have stayed here, but it is always the best. The hosts, Jim and Dave, make us feel like family and honored guests.

This is a world class B&B with all the trimmings. The Tuscany room is a dream come true. You will not want to leave. The hosts are talented and attentive. They have great recommendations for what to do, where to have dinner, etc. Don't hesitate, make the reservation.

We had such a lovely time at the Bellaire B&B. The owners were very helpful and made our stay perfect. The accommodations were so quaint.

Come visit an old Victorian, with friendly people and food that is extraordinary. beautifully furnished and well maintained. Gardens are lovely and come see the wildlife

positively outstanding!

Truly enjoyed our stay here. our host, Jim, was outstanding- warm, friendly, and helpful. Had a lovely room, many little amenities, delicious breakfasts. Enjoyed wine and crackers, lovely gardens, and a beautiful library. A beautiful house setting to relax and enjoy the days of autumn. Highly recommend!

Every aspect of our stay was perfection including the fabulous grounds, home, ambiance & food.

An excellent place to spend a night or two. Rooms and service outstanding. Also a beautiful area and town in Northern Michigan.

The nicest B&B I've stayed in, in Northern Michigan.

we have stayed at quite a number of bed and breakfasts over the years and the Bellaire B&B is the best. Best Breakfast. Fun wine & cheese in the evening. great rooms. Beautiful setting. Perfect hosts.

The Bellaire was a quaint, exquisite getaway tucked away in Northern MI. Jim and Dave were more than attentive to our every need and they thought of everything. The food was amazing, it was obvious a lot of thought and planning went into everything. A must

They truly are "above and beyond"! David and Jim are such gracious hosts and every little detail is taken into account in order to make you feel right at home! The rooms are elegant yet comfortable, the gardens are beautiful, and the breakfasts are delicious (and filling!) We really enjoyed the extra touches: cookies by the bed, daily wine/appetizer hour, and the wonderful hammocks for our afternoon snooze. We are already looking forward to a return visit....it can't come soon enough!

The innkeepers attended to every detail to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was amazing! They made us feel right at home.
