Wonderful quiet location
The property is newly constructed and thoughtfully furnished. The layout is excellent for a large group (we were 8, two families) and there are spaces where we could all hang out together or find some privacy.
Belair is a great link to the area, we did the suspension bridge at Bolne Mountain and hired a boat locally (M88) and got through to Lake Torch.
If you are looking for a base to explore all that lake life has, this is it.

Easy walk to downtown Bellaire
The house was was well appointed and spotless. Our only suggestion is to offer some plasticware, plates and cups for kids. Otherwise furnishings were in great shape and the kitchen provided everything we needed to cook. Kayaks with life vests were great fun. We enjoyed the fire pit (bring your own wood and grill sticks) and spent lots of time on the dock too!
We were disappointed that when we asked the property management company if the property had a grill...they said no. The property does in fact have a brand new grill. The home also offers a Keurig as well as brew coffee pot. The listing only shows a Keurig.
Additionally, the listing indicates there is room to park several cars in the driveway, but there is no driveway and you need to park on the front lawn. Unfortunately, when we arrived the lawn was knee high.
Luckily the local property manager, Natalie, quickly responded to our concerns regarding the lawn, and made sure it was mowed the next morning. She also handled a couple of other small items and was very helpful during our stay.
Overall, the home was very nice and and we enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and the location to downtown Bellaire was so convenient! There's also a walking path and playground not far. Nice weekend getaway.
