Wismar Cabin Waterfront with Private Beach
A beautiful cabin right on Lake Michigan near Rowley's Bay. The place was clean, cozy, and just as advertised.

Cozy 2 bedroom cottage, lakefront private beach
Very nice stay. Great communication from Evan, beautiful lake house, clean and well organized, and an amazing all season room overlooking the lake. Thank you for sharing your home, Evan!

Gull Cottage Waterfront Home on Washington Island
beautiful property right on the water! it rained while we were there so we stayed in the house and grilled. The kitchen had all the basics and the house was clean. I reached out to Shelly and she was quick to respond.

Pet Friendly lake front property
Rachel’s house was comfortable from the start. Everyone including the pets found the house to be fun. The children loved the ability to fish right from the pier and to get out on the water with the 3 waterboard choices. The fire pit was nicely located being right outside the back door instead of down by the water. We found the Harrison location to fun as well. We will be back to Rachel’s house and Harrison.

"UP North on the Lake", TC/Spider Lake
This was a great place to go to reset and relax. The water was a serene experience and left us feeling awww’d Going to town wasn’t far to get needed supplies We look forward to visiting again!

Private Lake Home: Country Living, Modern Comforts
This was our first repeat Airbnb experience, we enjoyed Laurie’s place that much! It’s peaceful and the lake is lovely, no matter the time of year. Close to Short’s brewing and Schuss mountain, not far from Boyne, it’s quiet but still well located to have a great up north adventure. It’s also well stocked with toys and books, which is a great plus for our family! And Laurie is super responsive and kind. We might stay a third time!

Lakefront! Beach Swimming Kayaks Firepit Wifi Pet
This place is far more beautiful in person! I highly recommend it! Super clean, SO many activities to do, you really don’t need to bring much because they provide basically everything essential! The host is also amazing! Super nice! We will definitely be coming back!

Quiet freshly renovated two bedroom lake house
We had a great time here. This two bedroom, two bathroom house was perfect for my family ( 2 adults, 1 child and a large dog. The house is recently remodeled, located in the woods and on a lake. The yard is beautiful the views are perfect. There was everything you needed inside included a hair dryer which I forgot and family games like the fun childish butt crack puzzle that my 8 year old loved doing with us. The house is located only 20+ minutes from downtown Traverse City but just out of the hustle and bustle. The only thing that sucked was the sliding door that stuck, was so hard to open and close and almost impossible to lock but the owners had a paper on the fridge explaining that they were fixing that very soon. We visited in April so we didn't get in the water but they had kayaks, fishing poles, bikes, life jackets and so much more to enjoy that lake. I loved this vacation.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

BunnyHill: Outdoor Heated Pool- Summer
We loved staying at Lindsay’s property. Everything was very clean and nicely furnished. With 2 children this was a perfect location to ski in and ski out. The space is very small, it is a studio, not a 1-bedroom condo, there is a huge, comfy king bed and a very good pull out sofa bed, but they are pretty tightly packed into the space. The owners provided games and books which was a nice touch. The bedding and the towels were beautifully soft and clean. The kitchen cabinets are very high up, we needed a step stool to get to any pots, pans and cups. This was available, we didn’t make a big dea out of it, we made it work, and really enjoyed our stay. We would recommend this stay and definitely come again.

Portage Point 3 bedroom condo #8
Overall, excellent choice for us for the first leg of our golf trip at Arcadia Bluffs.

Beautiful Beaches/Harborview/Outdoor Pool/Hot Tub
Great place to stay. Close to the beach and downtown. We went in the off season so the crowd was light. The place is clean, inviting, and has all the amenities you would need. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub so I can’t speak on that but they seemed nice. Troy was responsive to all of my questions, great host.

Beach Bliss211: Balcony/Water View/Beach/Downtown.
Wonderful place to stay! Beautiful view of the bay right on the beach. The space is very comfortable, well furnished and nicely decorated.

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
This may be one of my new favorite Air BNB spots! It is very comfortable and close to a lot of spots in Traverse City. The beach view was also very nice to look at. Kara is a great host and provided us with clear check in and check out instructions. Will definitely be visiting again!

Vacation Lakefront Condo at the Landings Boyne Mi
I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! It was conveniently located. Rick was very responsive and had very clear instructions for us. It was also very clean and tidy!!! I would recommend this to others, and hope to be back sometime. Thank you Rick!!!

Beachy Paradise Stylish Condo on the Water!
Cannot say enough great things about this space and Michael! Amazing space. Fell in love with TC! Will be back....and definitely stay here!

Harbor Cove-Northern MI Bliss-Pool-Private Beach
Can't say enough good things about our stay and hosts. The only thing that would prevent me from coming back is buying a place of my own in the same complex! Roger and Mary were proactive and responsive from pre-booking through our stay. I am a clean freak, to say the least, and found the condo in great shape. We took full advantage of the kitchen and every utensil, plate, and cookware I took out was perfectly clean. We had two families stay - 4 adults and 4 kids - and everyone was comfortable with plenty of space. Roger and Mary saw we were bringing real little ones, and left out pristinely clean crib and pack & play, sheets included. We stayed during winter, and enjoyed all that was nearby! Nubs Nob just 10 minutes drive. We got to XC Ski right out the condo door into the neighboring nature preserve trails and along Lake Michigan. The condo complex indoor pool was great afternoon entertainment. Everything matched the description, so it was easy to plan. Thank you!

Unique architect-designed home on waterfront bluff
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly unique property that I can't stop thinking about. The house boasts an incredible glass roof that allows for unobstructed views of the sky, stars, and the surrounding landscape. The house is perfectly positioned to make the most of its surroundings. On clear nights, lying in bed and looking up at the stars was simply magical. What sets this house apart is how it seamlessly blends with nature. It's an oasis of peace, ideal for anyone seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Highly recommend this house for anyone who appreciates beauty, design, and nature. Kimberly was such an accommodating host, you’ll feel welcomed and well taken care of every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous Sunsets at Crystal Lake Waterfront Home
Paul's place at Beautiful Crystal Lake was everything I hoped for. Not only was the cottage perfect, it was in a great location on the lake. I spent summers at Crystal Lake growing up and this was the perfect place to visit this beautiful place again! Paul was very responsive and helpful when I had a few questions. There was a magnetic on the fridge with info about pontoon boat rentals and I cannot say enough great things about this company! Thank you for a wonderful stay Paul! I would love to come back!

Large beach front property. 3 Kayaks Included!
The lake house was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. Plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of blankets and pillows. The lake was beautiful and the kayaks were really nice to have. Would definitely recommend.

Sandy Beach Home on beautiful Door County Island
Our family vacation was absolutely what we wanted on Washington Island, and especially at Essa's home! We wanted a quiet, relaxing place, and we definitely got that. We seriously felt like we were on a secluded island....didn't see one person until we drove to the other side of the island! If you are looking for a place to get away from the everyday hustle of life, Essa's place is where it's at. We got up in the mornings and had coffee and read on the 4 season's porch, sat on the beach, played games, watched movies, and had bonfires in the evening. The only bad thing....the week went to quickly!!!!

Empire Beach House - Lakefront firepit views
We have been visiting this area for 30+years and this is now one of our favorite places to stay. So much to see and do, no reason to leave the area (except to get groceries, unfortunately there is no longer a store in town, but there is a gas station). Sunsets are outstanding!!

Isle of the Wilds Bass Lake Spacious 4 Bed 2 Bath!
Enjoyed a winter getaway at this beautiful home! Beautifully decorated & designed with fun & relaxing time in mind

Fully Renovated 3 BR 2 Bath Lake Front Destination
Beautiful lake home. Everything is very nice & comfortable. We enjoyed the getaway very much. Loved looking at the peaceful lake. The updates are very tastefully done. Looks like a lot of time invested into every detail. It’s well stocked-lots of games too. Restaurants, stores, ice cream all within 5 miles. Highly recommend for R&R on a big lake. Thank you!

Lakeside Love: Beach & Hot Tub
Great place to share with our adult children and young grandchildren. The small private sandy beach was perfect for our toddler and his trucks. Availability of kayaks and water toys added to the comfort of spending an afternoon at the house. It was very well stocked for cooking and had plenty of counter space for prep and meals. Our host was responsive within minutes with any questions. Location is great to make a day trip to Mackinac Island and another toTraverse City and its peninsulas. Petoskey is ~20mins drive and is an adorable town on Lake Michigan with great restaurant and shopping options as well as a nice stone break wall for watching the sunset. Harbor Springs is just an additional 10mi with a small downtown and a line out the door for Tom’s Mom’s Cookies! Thanks for a memorable family vacation!
