Wow! I am very impressed with our stay at the Stone Waters Inn. It came recommended to us by my…read moreparents who stayed before the ownership change and said it was nice but could use some small upgrades. It seems as though the new ownership has made most all of these upgrades. To begin, the booking process was a little weird. I called and the woman who booked me seemed a little lost. I asked about a weekend three weeks in advance and she explained the few options available (ranging from $109 a night to $169). I tried to book the $109 room but after much back and forth, she kept figuring out most everything was booked already so we ended up having to book the fancy Vineyard Suite. When we arrived, the only thing I really didn't like was that there was no staff to greet us but we did call and get a hold of the manager who explained what to do. Our room door was left wide open for us with the key in the knob, which we didn't like at all. We felt really uncomfortable upon first getting into our room - like maybe security was loose and anybody could have come in and done anything to the room first. That was the only part we really were unhappy about. As for everything else, we were amazed. The grounds and building are stunning and everything from the lobby to the room were kept very clean and polished. The lobby had a lounge, pool table, popcorn machine, and a covered patio hangout. The manager welcomed us to bring alcohol or drinks if we'd like and supplied wine glasses and everything. We had a lot of towels and they were very nice quality as well. There was a nice bed, pretty comfy, and lots of blankets. Our room had a fireplace and jacuzzi, which you can imagine, I used right away. There was a mini fridge, a radio, a Keurig coffee maker, and many different other small amenities that were nice. The night was very peaceful and quiet. I loved having a ceiling fan as well. The price, $169 a night, actually was very worth it. We definitely agreed that we didn't want to leave the suite. The only other thing I didn't like was that some of the windows didn't have blinds that would close all the way but that was a very simple fix with a small sheet hung over the middle. We will definitely be back and it is very much worth spending the extra few dollars to pamper yourself for the Vineyard Suite!

So many stairs, we had to go down a level, then up a short flight of stairs. Nothing is clearly marked. Trying to navigate from one area of the resort to another was an adventure. Apple Maps is confused with this place. The food was ok. The service in the restaurant was ok. Do know that there are no free refills - so you won't be surprised to find a $10.50 charge for 3 iced-teas!! Many foreign employees and language is a barrier for many of them. Our room was clean and spacious. Unfortunately, there is an underlying odor of must/mold which is strong in the bottom level. The views are beautiful. The Legend and Cedar River golf courses were nice to play. It was a nice time, but I do not think I'd choose to return.

When we got to the motel the room was nice and clean and the air was crisp and cool.(nice after camping in the heat) Susie gave us all the info on where to go for food and drinks and we were able to come back and relax with our pups after a stressful morning. She saved our trip by accommodating us at such short notice. We will definitely be returning soon!

Again, the food was superb and our hosts made us feel very much at home. It is just absolutely a drop dead gorgeous place. Bellaire, although a very small town, is right in the center of all sorts of tourist stops and within very easy driving distance of Traverse City and Charlevoix. If you want to go to a place where you can thoroughly relax and enjoy a few days off this is the place. Go!

Often, after a day of motorcycling, my friends and I elect to just walk rather than drive or ride. And, nice plus, there's a very nice breakfast restaurant just across the parking lot from the inn. That alone gets 4-5 stars for its food and cozy embrace, complementing the inn nicely.

I meant to post this back in October 2018…read more I loved the stay here. It was an amazing time, and very much recommend it. It was beautiful, and the BnB reminded me so much of the house I grew up in with its Victorian construction, that I felt such a massive amount of nostalgia that I not only slept like a baby, but was bummed that I had to eventually come home. The innkeepers were not only friendly, but really knew thier history of the house... And to top it off... Breakfast was ALWAYS amazing. The Balcony room was beautiful and very romantic. All in all, I will totally return and stay there again.
