Common Grounds Fir Tree House:307.

LornaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
I almost don’t want to say how fantastic my stay was because going forward you are sure to be always booked! I absolutely LOVED Commonground! The building buzzed with positivity and happy people. The cafe and food downstairs were delicious. The music at night fun. Everyone seemed happy. The room was immaculate and thoughtfully laid out. The kitchen had everything I need and more. I loved that you had games, a pack and play, a high chair, extra comfy pillows and blankets. I liked. That there were two real plants in the kitchen (which I watered and pruned for you). I suppose the only things I would say is that I miss having cable, being a news person, and the overheard lights were a bit too bright. I highly recommend Commonground.

Lofts on Front St (3 bedroom)

KatyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This was a really nice, clean place with great views. The host and building manager were extremely thorough with how to locate the building and get in and were very responsive. The location was perfect, right by quite a few restaurants. 5 minute walk and you are right smack in the heart of downtown.

Relax On Beautiful Silver Lake Near Traverse City.

JennyRating, 5 stars6 months ago
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!

Cypress Street Escape

DeborahRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Place was beautiful and very clean. Newer complex. Would stay here again when in the area. It is about a 20 minute walk to Front Street. Location is good if heading out to the Dunes or other sites. Linda was very responsive.

Attic Studio

BrendanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Right on Main Street, just a couple minute walk to the heart of downtown Leland. The perfect home base for relaxing in between beach walks, swimming, shopping, and eating. The attic was larger than pictures showed! There was pretty much everything you’d need to feel comfortable. Nicolle was very inviting and easy to communicate with. Hopefully we’ll be back again!

Luxury on Chandler Lake! Close to TC

JesseRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

LIfe is Better At The Lake: Kathy's on Spider Lake

ValerieRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We were thrilled to find a last minute cancellation at this hidden gem for our labor day weekend trip! Kathy's directions were very thorough. The best part was that she included the use of all of her water toys in the rental - there were two stand-up paddle boards, numerous kayaks and a big rectangular floating pad that the kids loved. The biggest island in the center of Spider Lake is a very doable paddle from there. This property faces north on the lake which is the perfect vantage point to see the Aurora Borealis if the conditions are right, which they were for our time! This has been on my bucket list, so I am beyond thrilled! The stars are amazing too! We all felt comfortable inside and my husband said he had one of the best sleeps he's had in a long time. The kids loved the loft beds. We just wish that the spiders of Spider Lake weren't so abundant on the docks, so our arachnophobic girls could relax more, but there's not much that could have been done about them.

Lavish Lakehouse|Steps to Water|BBQ, Kayaks, Dock

AngieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Best location for Interlochen events—minutes from campus! Very homey, with comfortable beds and many rooms. Gorgeous lakeside views and great TVs in every room. Games and puzzles, lots of kitchen supplies and utensils. Loved that they didn’t ask us to do anything for checkout (trash, wash linens, etc). Great snow removal when we were there. Updated kitchen appliances. Will definitely return!

The Lake House

AmandaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This cottage was a great price and had a beautiful view of the lake. The sheets were so soft and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 adults. Loved the couch and fireplace. I would stay here again.

The Perfect Getaway Between TC & Crystal Mountain

PhilRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My son and I had a great time! This place was perfect for a weekend ice fishing trip to Green Lake. It is centrally located between the different boat launches, the bait and tackle shop down the road, and some of our favorite pizza at Cicero's!

The Big Drake Cottage on Elk Lake(Sleeps up to 21)

Matt O'MearaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Big Drake is in on quiet lane right on the lake shore, the place is large while still feeling homey. The kitchen is well l equipped with modern appliances. The heating and AC are controlled by different Nest thermostats, and we were able to keep it at a good temperature. The three main bedrooms are very comfortable--two share an adjoining bathroom, and for one it is around the corner. The kids rooms with bunk beds were great as well. The rooms above the garage were a bit more rustic, but clean and comfortable. The furniture in the living room is very cozy leather and the other furniture is nice, often custom wood like in a fancy lodge. The check-in and check-out were super easy, with clear instructions and communications. The place is 10 minutes from a large grocery store (Meijer) and 20–30 minutes from Traverse city, which is a neat town to explore with excellent food. Overall, we highly recommend and hope we can come back!

Make memories on Grand Traverse East Bay

LorenRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a lovely stay and Barry was an excellent host. There was a bit of construction near the apartment that confused us on where to go and how to get in, and Barry was so friendly and helpful in helping us get sorted and inside - which I really appreciate especially considering we got in so late! The place was super clean and comfortable and we wish we could have stayed longer!

Golf view condo on Grand Traverse Resort

AndrewRating, 5 stars2 days ago
While visiting family in northern Michigan we were looking for convenient and comfortable accommodation for our young family. Holly’s space provided that and much more. The place was exactly as advertised, Holly was exceptionally communicative, and the location was great for exploring traverse city. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to visit the area at any time of the year.
