  • Inn Details

    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!

    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!

    Highly impressed with Bellaire B and B

    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!)
