Lakefront Lodge | Sleeps 14 • Near Schuss • Dogs

Bring the whole crew Up North for a cozy lakefront escape just minutes from Bellaire and Schuss Mountain.

Set on 237 feet of private frontage on Intermediate Lake, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sleeps up to 14 and is made for families and groups who want room to gather, relax and experience Northern Michigan in every season.

Fall brings brilliant colors, crisp mornings by the lake, evenings around two outdoor firepits, and easy access to Bellaire's restaurants, breweries and scenic drives. When winter arrives, spend the day skiing or snowboarding at Schuss Mountain, then come home to your own peaceful lakefront retreat.

Inside, you'll find plenty of space for everyone—including a large dining table for group meals, multiple Smart TVs, a lower-level bunk room and hangout area, a fully equipped kitchen, and beautiful lake views.

And yes—dogs are welcome, so your four-legged family members can come Up North too.

Whether you're planning a fall color weekend, Thanksgiving gathering, family Christmas getaway, ski trip, friends' weekend, or summer lake vacation, this home gives your group the space to stay together while still having room to spread out.

This isn't just a summer lake house. It's a spacious four-season Northern Michigan gathering place designed for families and groups of up to 14.

Lakefront Living

Large windows bring the lake views indoors, while the bright main living area gives everyone a comfortable place to gather after a day of exploring.

Relax with a movie on one of the Smart TVs, pull out the board games, or simply enjoy the view of Intermediate Lake. In fall, the surrounding landscape comes alive with color; winter brings peaceful snow-covered lake views; and summer puts the water right outside your door.

Kitchen + Dining for the Whole Group

One of the best features of this home is having enough space to actually eat together.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, dishes and utensils, plus both a Keurig and standard coffee maker.

The large dining table seats up to 14 guests, making it perfect for family dinners, Thanksgiving meals, holiday gatherings, game nights and big breakfasts before heading to the ski slopes.

Sleeping Arrangements — Sleeps 14

Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Full bed
Lower-Level Bunk Room: Four queen bunk beds + one full bed

With 3.5 bathrooms, larger groups have plenty of space to get ready without everyone waiting for one bathroom.

Lower-Level Bunk Room + Hangout

Kids and teens get a space of their own downstairs with sleeping accommodations, a Smart TV, games and room to hang out.

It's especially nice for multi-family trips—the adults can gather upstairs while the kids have their own space downstairs.

FALL AT THE LAKE 🍂

Intermediate Lake isn't just for summer.

Fall is one of the most peaceful times to stay here. Start your morning with coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon exploring Bellaire and Northern Michigan's fall colors, then come back and gather around one of the home's two outdoor fire pits.

The large property sits on approximately 1.67 acres with 237 feet of lake frontage, giving your group plenty of room to enjoy the Up North setting.

It's a wonderful home base for fall color weekends, couples traveling together, family getaways and Thanksgiving stays.

WINTER GETAWAYS ❄️

Turn this lake house into your group's private home base for ski season.

Schuss Mountain at Shanty Creek is approximately 13 minutes away, so you can spend the day skiing and snowboarding without having to stay directly at the resort.

Come home afterward to a spacious house where everyone can spread out, make dinner together, watch movies, play games and enjoy the quiet winter lake setting.

When conditions safely allow, Intermediate Lake is also popular for winter recreation such as ice fishing.

Important: Natural ice conditions vary and cannot be guaranteed. Guests should always verify local conditions before going onto the lake.
