Winter · The Tara · Bellaire, Michigan

Winter, by the river.

Downhill and Nordic skiing at Shanty Creek, snowshoeing at Glacial Hills, then home to a restored 1887 house on the river.

Come in from the snow to a full kitchen.

Shanty Creek is the winter home of downhill and Nordic skiing in the area, and Glacial Hills Pathway stays open for hiking, trail running, Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. We can't speak to snow or lift conditions, so check with the resort before you drive. The house has three bedrooms, a full kitchen and room for eight.
