Stay on Main, lovely 1 bedroom renovated unit
Very convenient to downtown.

See the sunrise! Condo on the water @ Crooked Lake
We had a great stay. The condo is in a great location between Petoskey and Harbor Springs. The condo was clean and had some great amenities.

Private sandy beachfront on the West Bay in TC
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming studio! It had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing solo retreat. The setting is incredible - right on the water. The views were breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and the private sandy beach made it feel like a hidden oasis. The landscaping is gorgeous , and the beachfront seating, fire pit, and beach toys made it easy to unwind and enjoy. The patio was a perfect spot to relax with a view and peaceful atmosphere. The owners were so kind and welcoming. It felt tucked away, yet still close to everything. Truly the best of both worlds. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, and relaxing stay with stunning setting.

Relax On Beautiful Silver Lake Near Traverse City.
My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Jane & Zach's Guest Suite
So fun for our family of 4. We enjoyed the lake and cozy accommodations. Can hear people walking and talking upstairs, which were used to and felt right at home. Thoughtful instructions made everything clear. All was spotless and clean. A real treasure!

Downtown Newly Remodeled Apartment | AC | Beach |
Outstanding location for downtown activities in both directions on Front Street and visiting both peninsulas!

Couples Carriage House Studio, 1 block to Beach
Absolutely would stay here again! It had everything we needed, it was extremely clean and fresh. The quality of the linens and towels as well was a huge bonus! would recommend for anyone. was very convenient for a wedding we were attending down the road at Castle Farms.

TC Rock Shop with Bay Views
We are so happy that we stayed at TC Rock Shop! The place iself is so cute—very cozy!—and the location was minutes to downtown shops and restaurants, with the bay literally across the street! We spent a lot of time walking around the cute neighborhood, and enjoying the sunsets on the water. We went to an art fair and Sleder's Tavern (my parents' old fave in the 70s) right down the street! The apartment was the cleanest AirBNB I think we've ever been in, which was hugely appreciated. It was quiet at night, the bed was super comfy, and the towels smelled wonderful! We really appreciated the snacks, tea, and bottle of local Crisp wine (yummy!) they kindly left out for us. Although we didn't make use of them, we noticed a number of amenities that would be appreciated by other guests — umbrellas, cooler, beach gear, a pack and play, etc. We really loved this place and will hopefully stay here again on a future trip to TC!

Dream Vacay: Clam Lake Cottage w Torch Lake Access
The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

Beautiful Log Cabin on The Bay
Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

Lakefront Luxe Hideaway W/Hot tub!
Had an amazing and relaxing Bachelorette weekend away! Perfect peaceful evenings with the hot tub and watched movies and played cards! Will absolutely love to come back one day!

Boona Vista | Lake Michigan Beach Front Cottage.
The cottage was so cute and has its original charm! Directly on the water and a nice fire pit to utilize! Just a quick stroll down the path and you’re at the beach. The cottage is well equipped with things you need on the daily. We just bought some groceries and were good to go! The location is perfect! It’s very close to Leland Fish Town, downtown Lake Leelanau, Suttons Bay, and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Dandan was a wonderful host! Friendly and responsive. Clear instructions. It was truly a lovely getaway and Dandan is an excellent host!

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed
Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

Moondance Shores
This home was absolutely perfect for our lake getaway! Beautifully designed, incredibly clean, and stocked with everything we could have needed. The views were stunning and the location couldn’t have been better for a relaxing and comfortable stay. We truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend!

Beachside 213 Luxury Condo on the Beach

Boyne Mountain Resort | Dog Friendly | Lake Front
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Bright, Beautiful Condo right on Lake Charlevoix
We selected East Jordan because it was central to the places we wanted to go to on our self-determined “color tour”. The Breezeway was often traveled and beautiful! This was a great location to hit Traverse City, Mackinaw Island/City, Boyne Mountain, etc. Highly recommend, as the unit was a perfect size, just as the pictures show, and Steve was a great and responsive host.

Lakefront Condo on Lake Charlevoix with a View
Laurie was fantastic to work with. Immediate responses to inquiries and a genuine dedication to providing a great experience. We had a minor hiccup at the begining, but she graciously corrected it immediatly. The one consideration for future travelers is the main floor bedroom. It states 2 beds, but it is in fact 2 twin matresses in a trundle/daybed. Although comfortable, be aware that the induividual in the bed, will have to step on or over the individual sleeping on the matress close to the floor. In addition, with the trundle fully extended, the door will not close, so there will be no privacy. Aside from that, it is well maintained and appointed. Given the restrictions and limitations that arise when renovating a building more than 100 years old, they have provied a wonderful and cozy space. We woudl defiently book with Laurie again.

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
We loved our stay! The listing was exceptionally clean and amenities were as described. We enjoyed the location and having a coffee shop and (delicious) burger joint in walkable distance was a great bonus! The view of the beach and water right off the private balcony was wonderful and having a heated pool/hot tub combo right on property made this an ideal booking for our family. We’d come back and would recommend to others!

Sweet Retreat
This place is great! You can walk to downtown Leland in a few minutes and surrounding area is beautiful. Condo is squeaky clean and having a view of the waterway is so nice. Our hosts were great and everything was well explained and communicated.
