    Recently voted the 12th Best Overall Bed & Breakfast in North America, Bellaire Bed & Breakfast sits at the top of a hill at the end of a tree lined drive. Located in a tranquil setting with delightful gardens, hammock and shuffle board court, yet the village is only a short walk away with quaint shops, movie theater, brew pub and fine dining. In the morning we serve a hearty breakfast that features a hot main dish, fresh homemade breads and muffins, fresh fruit, juices, and gourmet coffee, teas & hot chocolates. The cherry-paneled library is filled with hundreds of books, a blazing fireplace in winter and chairs to sink into, hiding away, dreaming of distant lands and adventure. Discover the sunken garden and enjoy a private sunny afternoon. The main house has 5 rooms all with private bath, queen size bed, air conditioning, in-room WIFI and wired high speed access in the Sitting room. Our carriage house features four luxury rooms all with private bath, king size bed, gas fireplace, TV/DVD, air conditioning, high speed WIFI and wired Internet access. Each afternoon, we gather on one of the wonderful porches or parlors and wind down or share stories over a glass or two of wine. After breakfast, our guests enjoy the convenient location of the inn and are off on adventures that may include golfing, skiing, boating, kayaking, art galleries, antiquing, wine tasting or hot-air ballooning. Come and let us positively spoil you!

    Peaceful & Accomodating B&B

    May 09, 2013

    From the moment we arrived to the Bellaire Bed & Breakfast, we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality. The Vintage room, while a little small, was charming and clean. Additionally, the grounds were beautiful and well kept. In the evening, we took advantage of the library, which was stocked with up to date magazines, along with plenty of classical books. The hosts did an amazing job making us feel comfortable at breakfast, which was absolutely delicious! Everything was homemade and hot out of the oven. We would certainly go back again someday!

    Can't be beat!

    May 05, 2013

    I was looking to get away from an extremely hectic life for three days. My room was quiet, the house was quiet, breakfast was delicious. I did very little that I was planning on doing during the day; just soaked up the peace and quiet and watched the lilacs' leaves burst out. It was absolutely perfect.

    Simply the Best

    April 18, 2013

    My wife and I stayed for the 2nd time at Bellaire Bed and Breakfast from April 1st thru 3rd, 2013. We wanted a chance to get away from our busy home lives and just unwind for a few days. Our stay at the BB&B was exactly what we needed. Dave and Jim go above and beyond in the attention to detail category to make your stay with them feel like you're staying with an old friend. I can't say enough about the breakfasts- phenomenial! With Short's Brewery a stumbling distance up the road and Traverse City within a 45 minute drive you have access to everything you need nearby. Thanks again Jim and Dave, we will be back again. Hopefully, sooner than later. Eric/Emily Macomb Twp.
