Winter Review, ❄️: 8 guys looking for a place to stay for a snowmobile trip. 3 nights/ 4 days, This house worked out perfect! Trail was 1 block away and we had 2 trucks with full size trailers and 1 truck with sled deck. Plenty of room for all of us to park. Plenty of sleeping room for all 8 of us. House was fully stocked with towels, linens, cook ware, pots/pans. Everything needed. Gas stations and local bars very close. Hosts were great, fantastic communication, very helpful. Alot of snow when we were there, had it all plowed out. Answered all of our questions very promptly. Absolutely zero complaints and very happy with our stay. Will Definitely consider again!

Jennifer’s house was incredible for our 2 family vacation. The kids had an amazing time kayaking and splashing in the pool, and it was wonderful that they had plenty of books, toys, and games available. The adults enjoyed the separate living rooms, beautiful back porch, and well-stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. There is an uncrowded beach just a mile down the road with easy parking and nearby Holland had plenty of shopping and great restaurants.

Home in Erie
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 205 reviews4) Jan-Feb Discounts! Hot Tub/ Lakefront
This is the ideal location for a little decompression and relaxation. I absolutely adore visiting this little slice of heaven, in Michigan. The home is filled with cute little creative touches that make you feel both at home and welcome. The view from this house is absolutely breathtaking as you look out over the water into the back yard. This vacation creates a secluded atmosphere without making you feel isolated or cut off from the world. In addition to all the amazing amenities, the hosts also take care with the furnishings which are designed for maximum comfort. The bed as well as the couch are both quite comfortable and great for just lounging around or a good night's rest. I will continue to visit in the future.

Cottage in Beulah
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 155 reviewsPrivate Lakefront Cottage - Crystal Lake
Blaine's cottage was a perfect location for a weekend at Crystal Mountain. The view of the lake is beautiful and we loved all the modern and up to date style of the house! It was so close to a handful of restaurants, brewery, and breakfast spot!

Cottage in Grant Township
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsSand Point Chalet, a charming custom cottage
Really enjoyed staying at Janine's place. Cozy cabin that slept 3 single guys comfortably. Great views of Lac La Belle. Extremely close to Mt Bohemia where we went for skiing and the spa. Great experience all around!

Cottage in Ocqueoc
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 163 reviewsLittle Cottage On The Hill
Therapeutically peaceful. Great little place to get away from the rest of the world and both figuratively and literally unplug.

Cottage in Sturgis
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviewsCharming Cottage on Beautiful Fish Lake
This was our third year staying at Chris’s cottage. The cottage was spotless as always, equipped with snacks, water, plenty of towels and amenities. The cottage is on Fish Lake, beautiful and peaceful but also fun to watch all of the water activities and wildlife. The weather was perfect. The mark of a fantastic place and location is never having to turn on the TV to pass the time. We will be back next year if it’s available! Thank you, Chris!

Cottage in Petoskey
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 215 reviewsCharming Lakefront Guest Cottage
I’d give Julie’s place tens stars ⭐️ perfect place for two! Breath taking views of the lake, quiet. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the Petoskey area. Julie was a great host! Thank you!

Cottage in Hart
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsWaterfront Cottage by Silver Lake & Pentwater
One of, if not the cleanest Airbnb we’ve been to. Everything was ready/easily accessible in the home, didn’t have to worry about missing/going out for anything. Area was really quiet and peaceful, however the bedrooms were close to/facing the road where the occasional car could be heard (1-2 cars per night). Overall had a great time staying here, would definitely recommend and possibly rebook in the future.

Cottage in Grayling
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 190 reviewsThe Morel Cottage
Such a cozy cabin! Remote enough to feel removed from the hustle and bustle but 10 mins into town if needed. It snowed several of the days we were there and it was so picturesque and beautiful. The cabin is exactly like the pictures and we couldn’t have asked for a more restful stay. Thanks Brian and Kristin!

Cottage in Dowagiac
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsThe Lakeshore
Everything was perfect. Spent a relaxing weekend with my husband here. Went to the wounded minnow and the most amazing bacon ranch pizza. Spent the day on the paddleboats enjoying the sun. Ended our last night back at the minnow for a steak dinner and watched the sun set on the deck. Cute cottage, beautiful view. Sarah was so nice and always responsive. She even offered to allow us to check in early and check out later, great host with the most. Highly recommend checking her spot out!

Cabin in New Era
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 187 reviewsQuiet retreat near Lake Michigan
We wanted to visit Lewis Farm so I started to look for Airbnb’s in the surrounding area. I’m so glad I decided on this cabin! As soon as we arrived my husband said “wow this is right up your alley - look how clean it is!” It was truly immaculate! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. We utilized the firewood that was provided and the charcoal grill. It had a great front porch to have our coffee on and relax. My toddler loved running around the large yard! Lake Michigan is just a short distance away and the sunsets were magical. So much to do within 20 minutes or so of this cabin! We want to make it a tradition to visit every year. Thanks for our stay :)

We truly felt taken care of throughout our visit. We had such a great experience and will definitely be returning in the future! Highly recommend this place.
Your guide to Michigan
Welcome to Michigan
Most Michiganders use the state's unique mitten shape to describe their home, but the state also sticks out like a thumb from the top of the country, nudging neighboring Canada. Michigan has the longest freshwater coastline of any state, which touches four of the five Great Lakes (Michigan, after all, means "large lake" in Ojibwe). A small strait separates the mitten-shaped southern portion of the state from the Upper Peninsula, a quirky little piece of land known for its idyllic scenery and outdoor recreation. Michigan's many beaches, parks, and resort towns dot the shoreline and interior lakes, drawing visitors from big cities around the Midwest, including the state's own metropolis, Detroit. Known as the home of Motown and the heart of the automobile industry, Detroit continues to hold an important place in American culture, and is the only U.S. city named a UNESCO City of Design.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Michigan
Michigan's seasons offer four distinct reasons to visit. In the summer, the beach towns on Lake Michigan and the Upper Peninsula spring to life, offering relief from the heat and stressors of daily life. In the winter, the many feet of snow that fall courtesy of the lake-influenced weather patterns turn the state into a playground for skiers, snowmobilers, and sledders, making it a cozy time to stay in a Michigan cabin rental. Spring brings a rainbow of wildflowers and rushing waterfalls for hikers, and autumn bursts with crisp-colored foliage and bountiful fruit. Fall also attracts sports fans excited to see Detroit's professional football team as well as two popular college teams: the University of Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State University Spartans.
Top things to do in Michigan
Mackinac Island
Located in the waterway between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, this car-free island prevents modernity from disrupting the peaceful beauty of nature. Since the late 19th century, island shops have specialized in making fudge. Just like that earlier era, the only ways to explore the historic fort and dramatic natural features like Arch Rock are by foot, bike, and boat.
Eastern Market
For 130 years, Detroiters have come to this six-block public market on Saturdays to purchase the literal and theoretical fruits of the state's famous agricultural industry. Hundreds of vendors set up shop here, selling Michigan cherries, flowers, and meat as well as prepared foods. The rest of the week, the neighborhood still serves as a culinary district and shopping area, with Tuesdays bringing in farmers and Sundays focusing on non-food vendors.
Saugatuck
You’ll enjoy Michigan from a whole new vantage point when you take the 19th-century, hand-operated chain ferry from the main part of this former art colony out to its world-renowned Oval Beach. Saugatuck's towering sand dunes, epic sunsets, and appreciation for beauty in all forms make it emblematic of Michigan's best destinations.
