Creekside Hot Tub|Walk to Beach|Uniquely Northern
Lauren and Tom were excellent hosts during our family weekend getaway. Their home was beautiful and very welcoming. Highlights: the ease of entry, the digital information booklet (provided everything), the hot tub, the beds, the cleanliness, and the amount of seating for activities. We visited in the middle of a Michigan “snowmagedden” and their home was a perfect escape. The drive was plowed. The hot tub was hot. We did lose power once but Lauren was right on top of keeping us updated on restoration times. Special mention regarding the beds. Truly THE MOST comfortable beds we have run across while staying away from home. My family gives their home a 5 star rating and plan to make it an annual trip.

Cedar Creek Cottage lakefront near Boyne City
The cottage was exactly what we expected, and more so. The view of the lake was just as spectacular in the morning as it was in the evenings!! Extremely comfortable, homey, and a great place to relax!! First time visiting Michigan, won't be the last. Thank you John & Melanie for providing such a wonderful place to stay!! Lynne & Bryan

Beautiful location. Nice, older style cabin. Very clean. Hosts were very nice and great communicators. Beach was beautiful and private. Super clear water; found a number of Petoskey stones and saw some nice rainbow trout swimming around. Would definitely visit again

Waterfront Cottage in Elk Rapids, Michigan
This was our second time staying at little elk cottage - it’s a great location, comfortable space, and has views for days! We loved building a fire at sunset. We did have an issue upon checking in but Chelsea was extremely responsive and quick to fix the problem. We had a great time & we’ll visit again.

Lake Cottage to make Memories
The home is perfect for a family with children. Very clean, everything was great! I recommend to everyone! We will definitely come back here 🙂

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!

Private Lake Getaway,there is no public access.
What a great rental and what great hosts! My wife and I spent four nights at Laurie and Ralph's cabin outside Charlevoix and we didn't want to leave. Very highly recommend. Can't wait to come back again! The house itself is peaceful and comfortable and has everything a couple might need. Outside we sat down by the lake and saw the auroras and took advantage of their kayaks to go for a paddle. Laurie was very helpful and communicative, even sending us a photo of the driveway which is a bit hidden. Ralph even came over with an extra flashlight when the power briefly went out all over town. Charlevoix and the rest of the area was fantastic. Cute town with some great places to eat and just walk through the shops. From Boyne Falls to Petoskey, everything we wanted to do was within a quick and very scenic drive.
