Sandy Bottom Cottage on Intermediate Lake | Cottage in Bellaire
3 Bedroom Cottage in Bellaire
Sandy Bottom Cottage is a classic Northern Michigan lakefront retreat on beautiful Intermediate Lake, perfectly located between Bellaire and Central Lake. This charming cottage offers everything families need for a relaxing, memory-making week on the water, with one of the area’s most loved features—a true, natural sandy lake bottom.
Unlike many lakes that advertise sand, guests consistently rave about the genuine sandy shoreline here, making it ideal for kids to wade, splash, and play. The water is clear with a gradual drop-off farther out, allowing parents to easily keep an eye on little ones. A large dock provides plenty of space for swimming, lounging, and accommodating up to two boats, perfect if friends or family plan to visit from across the lake.
Days are easily spent swimming, floating, kayaking, or simply soaking up the peaceful setting. Two kayaks with paddles are available for guests to enjoy. The shaded yard invites slow afternoons, naps, and quiet moments, while mornings bring beautiful sunrises over the water that guests return year after year to experience.
As evening settles in, gather near the shoreline fire pit for s’mores, stories, and a glass of wine as the sun dips below the horizon. Inside, the cottage is cozy and well-equipped for a comfortable stay, capturing the nostalgic spirit of an up-north cabin that families love.
A bonus bedroom with a queen bed located off the garage provides additional sleeping space and flexibility for guests. While there is no air conditioning, the shaded property and lake breezes help keep the cottage comfortable during summer stays.
2 kayaks with paddles available to rent--$20 each, per stay
Please note: If not a family with kids, all guests must be 25 and older
Please Note: a refundable security deposit is required on all rentals ranging from $100 to $500 based on the place. This is refunded upon departure as long as no damages and the pool pass is present where applicable. If an Airbnb reservation, Airbnb will charge this fee when necessary.
