About

Local hosts, local guide

Bellaire BnB is written by the team at Upstream Vacations, who host guests in Bellaire and on the Lake Michigan shore.

Who we are

Upstream Vacations is a veteran owned and operated vacation rental company in Northern Michigan, run by Lucas Miller. We manage a small collection of homes around Bellaire, Torch Lake and the Lake Michigan shore, and we take care of every guest stay ourselves.

Bellaire BnB is our guide to the area: the lakes, trails, ski hills, restaurants and events we recommend to our own guests, written down so everyone planning a trip here can use it.

How we write this guide

  • First-hand picks. The restaurants, bars, parks and day trips here are places we actually go and send our guests.
  • Checked facts. Dates, hours, distances and rules are checked against official sources, and each article lists its sources and the date we last checked.
  • Kept current. We update guides each season, especially ski dates, events and anything that changes year to year.
  • Clearly labeled partners. We aren't paid to recommend anyone in our guides. If we ever feature a paid partner listing, it's labeled as one.

What our guests say

Across our homes, guests have left more than 170 reviews, all five stars, on Airbnb, Vrbo and direct bookings. A few things guests mention most: spotless homes, thoughtful touches like night lights and sound machines, and fast answers to questions.

Book direct

Every home is bookable directly on its own website, with no platform service fees. You deal directly with the people who manage your stay.
