North Blue Lake Escape - A Waterfront Oasis
Courtney was a great host and very responsive! The location was beautiful and has plenty to do for a winter getaway away. We loved our time here.

Ski Crystal! Pontoon Boat! Sandy Beach! New Wi-fi!
This was the perfect location to stay for our fall golf trip to Arcadia Bluffs. A beautiful home less than 20 minutes to the course. Highly recommended.

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.

Silver Lake Cottage
This is a lovely home in an amazing location. The access to Silver Lake with paddle boards and kayaks readily available was amazing!

House&Cabin on River/Bike Trail!
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was beautiful.

Private Lakefront House: Fish, Kayak, EV Chg, Pets
If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Beautiful scenery and wild life.

Spacious home nestled between two beautiful lakes
This home was so amazing and we had the best time. Very clean home, with many items that we were able to use to cook our meals right at the house. Spacious, and absolutely LOVED that there were so many night lights around the home making it so nice when all were in bed and needed to get up to use the bathroom and did not have to turn on any lights, because lots of night lights placed in the right places to light the way to restroom. Highly recommend to anyone needing to host a big group of people comfortably!!! This location is also so amazing and peaceful!!

Breathtaking Waterfront Home on West Bay - M22
Our group of 10 had a lovely stay over New Year’s. The home was beautiful, spacious, had a well stocked kitchen and we enjoyed the games in the lower level. Beautiful views of the water and close to downtown Sutton’s Bay, wineries, Hop Lot Brewing Company and Traverse City. Would definitely recommend.
Cottage rentals with a kayak

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

Noble Cottage: Perfect Retreat for Families!
The cottage was exactly what was advertised and the pictures were accurate. The cottage was very warm, inviting and clean. We had a great time on the water and the location was great to go to other areas such as Traverse City as well. Very nice property!

Hot Tub Getaway - Lake Cabin
We had a wonderful trip. Everything was exactly as described and a perfect little getaway for my wife and I. We would highly recommend this place.

Scenic Lakefront Near Ski/Golf with Hot Tub
We had such a great time at the Blue Pearl Cottage. We stayed for a girls trip and truly enjoyed ourselves with the special amenities like hot tubs, robes, and beautiful views. Mark was amazing and responsive to any questions we had. Love this place and we will definitely be back.

Lovely Silver Lake Cottage
The house was exactly as described and spotless! The location is perfect and setting is beautiful. This was a weekend girls trip and all three of us were so happy, we hope to come back in the summer. Thank you Theresa for a wonderful stay!

Iroquois Lakeview -steps from the ice!
Great cabin in a great location! Will be back!

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, Paddle Boards, Jun 9-20 Aug 24-29 Avail
Amazing place and stay! Highly recommend
Cabin rentals with a kayak

Riverside Cabin Near Torch Lake – Kayaks Included!
The woods and river on the property were absolutely beautiful in the snow. Lots of firs and cedars that caught the snow. I wasn’t sure how close the nearest neighbor would be and how private the cabin would feel but the trees and gentle slope provided perfect privacy even in winter. The cabin is situated ever so slightly downslope from the road, offering privacy there too. The photos of the cabin and view don’t do it justice—such a lovely home with big beautiful windows, kitchen things, and bathroom essentials. The well water is super good too—fresh and clear, no taste! I loved that it felt like we were deep in the woods without having to actually rough it. The cabin size and style was just right to feel cozy, well-appointed, and comfortably at-home (not one of those crazy lakeside mansions, which some may love, but I do not ;). It was also nice to find a place where dogs were welcome without getting slammed with pet fees and big restrictions. Wonderful getaway! :D

Tuckaway Log Cabin on Bar Lake: Walk to Big Lake
We loved our stay at this cabin on a cold winter weekend. We greatly enjoyed the wood stove, and everything was well thought through amenities-wise. John was very friendly and helpful. I’m sure it’s lovely in the warmer months with Bar Lake in the backyard and Lake MI just down the road!

Private & Secluded - Lake front cabin on Fife Lake
Tom was great! he helped us out with a trailer issue, highly recommend staying here! will be going back again

Happy Trails Haus, Cozy Lakeside Cabin
Great place and location. The house was cozy and well appointed. It is an older home and comes with quirks. If you are familiar to "up north" cabins this will not be a matter to consider at all. If you are used to champagne and canopy beds and you know who you are look elsewhere like maybe out of state. I have nothing bad to say about this place. You will love it!

Cheerful Six Mile Lake Log Cabin.
Hands down our favorite Airbnb that we have ever visited! The cabin is gorgeous and so much love was put into restoring it! We live in Traverse City and this was the PERFECT place to come and turn our cell phones off and relax and unwind! Monica and Stephen are SUPER hosts! They are so friendly, attentive and helpful and they truly have thought of everything and the extra touches are so nice! We loved watching the wildlife and sitting out by the campfire. The extensive list of local recommendations was so appreciated and we took advantage of several of their recommendations! Bed was so comfortable, amazing shower and loved the heated tile floor! Kitchen is well appointed and had everything that we needed! Our dog Lucy also had a great time and we cannot wait to come back! Don’t hesitate to book a stay here!

The Bear Cub Aframe
This place was so cute and cozy yet lots of space. The hot tub works wonderfully, the jets are amazing. Clean space and clear communication. We loved our stay here. Thank you.

Woodsy and Private- Rustic Cabin
Quiet, clean, and cozy! A great weekend stay

The Lily Pad
This place checks all the boxes with an amazing host. Will be back annually. Craig, thanks again for a great stay
