Driveway not good in the winter
We drive a new 4 wheel drive vehicle. We stayed in February over president’s day weekend. We paid 580 for 2 nights here to go skiing. When we arrived on Friday, we were able to get halfway up the driveway which was plowed. Unfortunately the plow never came to clear the snow or salt on Saturday, and it snowed the whole day. Saturday evening we could not get up the driveway, it was full of snow with ice underneath. We had to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up and down the ice to get in and then to leave with all of our things on Sunday morning. Thankfully no one got hurt. We requested that they come and salt overnight, but nothing was done

Ski trip with friends
Took a short trip up north to go skiing. The place was perfect for the 4 of us. Clean, easy to find, and close to town. If we go skiing here again, we’ll re-book the same place. Thanks!

Small private cottage near downtown Bellaire
Property manager was great to communicate with about everything. We love how close this was to downtown Bellaire. If not staying in the summer, water did not get hot in shower. Just as described/pictured and more than met our needs. Pet friendly which helped us so we hope future renters our respectful of the property rules.

Perfect Location!!!
The house is perfectly located to walk to get a good meal and drink at Shorts Brewing Company and ice cream at Ruthie's in downtown Bellaire. Close drive to Dockside and close drives to access the beach and lakes. The house is clean and had
a feeling of home. The host Sue was easy to get ahold of when needed.

Very cute place. House was very clean.
Eveything they said that was provided was there, But no washcloths. And the patio set very nice, but very dirty, didn't look like it was cleaned this year yet.
