Homes in Michigan

Cozy home in Harbor Springs
The house is exactly as described and very clean. The kitchen had everything we wanted for cooking. It’s a great spot if you’re skiing at boyne highlands or nubs nob. Check in and check out instructions were very clear. The check in time is 7pm which is a little late I think but Larry allowed us to check in a bit early which was great.

4 Bed 2.5 bath home in S.E. Lansing
Mike’s place is great for hosting a family get together. It is spacious and well supplied. Mike was especially accommodating when our plans planned with a family urgency and snowy weather.

Hemlock House
Great place. Loved all the antiques. Brought back a ton of memories from childhood with all the antiques. Definitely a hidden gem!! Highly recommend. Great restaurants nearby.

Beautiful Renovated Home - minutes from downtown
This is a beautiful home that was located in a fabulous location, just 4 minutes from our daughters home. The house was peaceful, relaxing and had everything we could have needed for our family weekend in Grand Rapids. I can't say enough good things about this home but I highly recommend it as an amazing place to stay while visiting Grand Rapids.

Contemporary, TC area, Home away from Home
Very Clean, Clear instructions, Easy to find and we were able to bring out 2 Small dogs with us.

Happy Z's Retreat~ Walk to the Beach
Great stay. We had a wonderful time and the arcade games were a bonus. House was so cozy. It started snowing just as we arrived so the views were gorgeous-even had a few deer show up to complete the view. Perfect place for a winter getaway-cant wait to stay there again in the summer.

Downtown home! Location, location!
Our stay was excellent! The home is incredibly cozy, is right near downtown, and had plenty of space for everybody. Lee was very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!!

Villa Mia Iron Mountain
I love staying at Villa Mia when I visit family in Iron Mountain. Adding a laundry room makes it even better! Thanks Lisa.
Cottages in Michigan

The Bird & Vine Cottage in Leelanau County, Mi.
Bed was more comfortable than the one at home. And the cottage was pristinely clean and well decorated. Will likely be purchasing similar blankets for my own house. Perfect central location with top wineries within walking distance. Easy access to the Leelanau bike trail. Super peaceful and private. Can’t wait to return.

Private Lakefront Cottage - Crystal Lake
We loved our stay! The place was very clean and the perfect spot for our winter getaway. The location was excellent - we walked to the Beluah business district for dinner each night and enjoyed the shops during the day.

Magical Northern Michigan Cottage with Hot Tub
Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

Little Cottage On The Hill
absolutely loved staying here. Beautiful place and peaceful. It's on a pretty quiet country road. Shelli. is a wonderful host with lots of recommendations on things to do in the area. Highly recommend staying here. Jeannette and Jeanine

Private, Sun-filled Union Pier Cottage
Highly recommend staying at Ken’s place! He was a great host, always responsive and more than happy to provide us with local recommendations. The place was clean and looked exactly as described. It was the perfect place for a mom’s weekend getaway!

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

Charming Cottage on Beautiful Fish Lake
Such a great place! This was our second time staying at Chris and Missy’s. We loved it just as much as before. Amazing fall colors, peaceful, and centrally located for all the things we wanted to do. We’ll be back! Chris made sure that we were well taken care of- he’s very proactive and super friendly! We wouldn’t change a thing!

The Lakeshore
The cottage was great! Went in late September so it was very quiet and relaxing. Made dinner on the campfire. It was a treat!
Cabins in Michigan

*Little Horn Lodge w/bunk room near Lake Superior*
I needed somewhere to stay near Calumet for an entire month, and this place was perfect for what we needed!! We had every amenity that we could have needed during our stay. The area surrounding the place was beautiful, and just a short drive from Lake Superior. Everything was excellent and the hosts were easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again if I'm back in the area!

BoomTown Cabins #2
Boomtown was a lifesaver after a last minute camping cancellation due to colder weather than planned for. The space was ideal, water was always hot, and Jonathan provided several days’ itineraries which we followed and loved. If you’re planning to see Tahquamenon, Pictured Rocks and Lake Kitch-iti-kipi, this is a perfect home base.

Authentic Log Cabin Cabin 8 Balsams Resort
We like it so much, this was our second stay at the Balsams in cabin 8! It is the perfect rustic, up north log cabin. They provide the basics, and free firewood. Very peaceful and enjoyable! Thank you for another great relaxing stay.

Camp Big Iron
Amazing secluded location in a cozy cabin with a stunning view and big windows. Has everything you need and feels like a real getaway. Joe was very helpful and kind. Highly recommend staying here!!

"The Land" Large cabin in the woods with WIFI
This place was Amazing! It accommodated all 14 of us, there’s plenty of things to do to with in the cabin and it’s surroundings. “The Land” felt like home & really wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Little Cabin in the Woods (Cabin 3)
Loved staying at a remote cabin in the woods! It was great for our peaceful extended weekend away. We loved going on all the trails throughout the property. We even got a clear view of the Northern Lights on one night of our trip! Will definitely book this cabin the next time we need an unplugged weekend!

Whitefish Cabins on Little Bay de Noc
Perfect cabin in a beautiful setting! It was the ideal cabin for a peaceful weekend. Cyndi was very responsive and helpful. We will certainly be back!

Cabin In The Woods
Exactly what we were looking for in a quiet getaway. The cabin had just enough of everything that we could have needed. Secluded and quoet, but easy to get to Mackinaw City or Petoskey.
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.
