Cottage vacation rentals in Bay View

I booked this beautiful home after my first reservation and host cancelled on me due to the storms. Well, I can say… we are so happy with our stay. It was exactly as described and even better than expected. April really is a one of a kind host, so good that I had to take notes for my own Air bnb adventure. She thought of everything! I’ve never had a better stocked kitchen. We always cook and make a big meal and we sure did not want for anything. We were even greeted with a local baked good and extra sheets and blankets for the dogs. These hosts were the best I’ve had in Michigan, if not the whole country. I’m thankful for people who truly consider someone’s stay and thinks of it all. Thank you again to the hosts. The Cabin was spotless and one of my favorite features was the deer lights.

Very clean and cozy place with great amenities and resources! Hosts were very proactive and provided almost anything you’d need for activities during your stay.

This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

My mother, sister, and I stayed at the cottage for a mother-daughter weekend. It was perfect for us and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The listing was accurate and everything was as described, or even better. The cottage is decorated with charming furniture, art, and antiques. Everything was easy to find, and the kitchen was especially well-appointed. There were instructions for everything, including the fireplace, hot tub, and sauna (all of which we enjoyed). Perhaps best of all, at least for our quiet and cozy weekend, there isn't a single TV in the house! Plenty of places to sit down and read or just relax and enjoy each other's company. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and downtown Petoskey was a 10 minute drive away. Very convenient. Clara was a communicative and kind host, and I enjoyed interacting with her. We definitely want to return in the summer months to enjoy the gardens and spend more time outside. Thank you for helping to make our weekend special!

This was a beautiful home located on a tranquil lake with serene views and so much local wildlife! My family spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor patio, bonfire pit and watching swans, ducks and birds from the dock. The home itself has comfortable lounging space for a bigger family and includes a well stocked kitchen. The space is very clean. The local area has bike paths which are very scenic as well. Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend this host and this property enough. Nathan was communicative while we were still looking at the property, and responded quickly through the rest of the process until check out. He provided great recommendations for local places to try out and we had a peaceful stay. The property was roomier than expected for the master and cozy for the spare rooms, and we especially loved the living room and outdoor furniture. So happy to have found this gem of a place and excited to come back in the future!

Ryan’s home was clean and comfortable for our week long stay. It has a beautiful view and the hot tub was very relaxing. He was very easy to communicate with! Would highly recommend if looking for a retreat in northern Michigan.

The host was very friendly and quick responding. Location is beautiful. Cool little cabin on the lake. Very well stocked with utensils, glassware, and games.

My family and I had a great stay at Robert's home. It was exactly what we were looking for in a long weekend in the Leelanau/Suttons Bay wine country with hiking trails, scenic roadways, and outdoor activities that we had in store. Robert was very accommodating and the home was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet rural space to recharge. We would love to stay here again if we make it back up that way. Thank you for a great stay!

First of all the location is just mind blowing. So quite and so private. Access to almost private beach. The cottage was cozy and had all the basic amenities that one would need for a small vacation with family. Whatever query we had Alec always responded within a few minutes. Was very happy with this stay. The only thing i would point out is that the exterior of the place needs a little cleaning and maintenance and i wish the kitchen had a little more utensils but thats about it. The lake is right across the street but not the best spot for bathing as its full of stones and too shallow but still beautiful to just sit and relax.

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

We really enjoyed staying in the mushroom house-it is so cute & has everything you need. The location is great. Nick & Joe are both very friendly-but also leave you to yourselves. This is our second stay there & would return there if we are back in that area.

This was a great stay for us! The home is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Looking forward to our return trip!

we enjoyed our stay at this location. Jennie is very friendly and helpful and available for any questions all the time. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Great, quite location. Well equipped and clean. Our dog loved the big yard to run while we relaxed on the nice deck. It's very dark at night, take a big basket for all the stars. Loved it, thanks Michelle

Such a great place, we really enjoyed it and it was a great spot to bring our little kids and dog! We hope to return next year!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at The Dollhouse. It’s a charming little place, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from a beautiful nature preserve and the pristine dunes of Lake Michigan. Sunsets were awesome along the beach and there were hardly any other people when we were there (early June). Linda was a fantastic host, friendly and provided all the amenities we needed and more. It’s very close to downtown Charlevoix and a great spot to stay while exploring the area. I’d highly recommend!

This cottage was super clean and very well equipped. Easy walk to end of the road to the lake & close to town for restaurants & shopping

The whole experience was amazing! Very responsive host, clean large space with ability to spread out. Great location - just 5 min drive to beach! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, tidy and cozy. The back deck was great and we enjoyed sitting out there watching the water. We like to cook so all of the lovely appliances were a bonus. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting the area.

Lindsay's place looked just like the photos. I went with my family and we all loved the decor inside. The whole time we admired how beautiful the decor is and how everything goes so well together. Every detail was beautiful. The whole house was very clean. I have no complaints and no negatives to mention. Lindsay was also super responsive and helpful! Thank you Lindsay!

Great Airbnb. Spacious for my team and a beautiful lake view. Wish the weather would have cooperated but it was still an excellent stay. We will definitely be looking to return next time we are in the area.

We had a great stay at Annie’s place. She was easy to get a hold of. The place was clean, well-furnished/decorated, had everything you could ever need, and was minutes away from the slopes. We are already talking about planning a stay here again next year!

The place is very nice, practical, and comfortable. Mia is very kind and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again!
