Cottage is cute. Lake is just past a few homes out front.
You can swim, boat, kayak, etc. There is a long dock and a deck to jump off of. Bunch of chairs to sit at in the sand. Torch Lake is only about 15 minutes away. Super clear water. But, the Bellaire Lake at the cottage is nice too. Sand at the bottom of water is super nice. Not a lot of rocks, didn't see any seaweed. Super Clean! Full size grocery store about 15 minute drive and then you can drive 40 minutes to shop and site see in Traverse City. Super Nice area. Would definitely book again.
