Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Canadian Lakes

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful first getaway at Sarah’s place. The property was peaceful, private, and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We had a great time visiting Na-Tah-Ka, exploring Ludington, the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and more — but some of our favorite moments were just spent enjoying the quiet beauty of the property itself. We’ll definitely be back to soak in the tranquility and natural surroundings again. Sarah was a kind and responsive host, and her place is absolutely worth the stay. 🌲

It truly was a sanctuary of all of God's creation visiting often.

Very serene and peaceful. The wrap-around porch pairs beautifully with the heavily wooded and hill-ridden geography. Just down the road is a gorgeous lake and though we did not have the chance to utilize the public lake access, the view at the guardrail on the bend of the road is within walking distance and is a great spot to pull off and enjoy the scenery. Less than 10 minutes away is a great pizza place and a small town bar and grill. There are also a few parks nearby. Highly suggest for a small group looking to escape the bustle, or a group looking for a golf retreat.

We had a wonderful stay Peaceful quiet Felt really at home and loved cash’ visits We will miss our second home in Michigan and will definitely come back

We’ve been coming here for years and it’s great every time. The creek is incredible and there are tons of birds here as well. Melissa was super easy to communicate with and recommended some great local spots for us as well. Can’t wait to come back next year!

What a great place for getting away! The house is first-class with brand new upgrades inside. And the grounds are landscaped beyond belief. The home even comes with a private dock for gazing at the pair of swans as they glide by. It's a little mini-mansion of a gem.

Lake Hess was perfect for a weekend getaway. The cottage was cozy and had great space for yard games. Justin was a great and responsive host!

Awesome place to stay if you're looking to be on the water. Very clean and peaceful.

Brandi made my stay in St. Louis/Alma so easy. I was totally comfortable and at home in her place. It had everything I needed and was easy to get to and overall a perfect stay!

First of all, WOW! This was such an incredible location with the most attentive and kind hosts. My partner and I stayed the weekend at The Hive and felt right at home before we even arrived. This space had everything we needed, was not cramped or cluttered, and was very clean! The location is great: Mt Pleasant, Alma, St Louis, and more less than 10 minutes away. The Hive is just outside of the town enough to feel private and homey, but you are still so close to so many great restaurants, activities, and shops. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. We had a bonfire one of the nights and the hosts were extremely friendly, accommodating, and kind in helping us. We had everything we needed and so much more. There is no doubt in our minds that we will book future stays at The Hive. 1000/10 recommend; LOVE IT. <3

Craig and Starrlynn are outstanding hosts! This is a gorgeous property and a well-done major reno. The new decor is modern, cohesive and elegant. I’m so happy we were able to stay here and can’t wait to return! Thank you Craig and Starrlynn!

This was a fabulous place to stay. Gorgeous view of the lake, and plenty of in-home amenities to make this a great home for short- or long-term stays for a couple or small family. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. We enjoyed frequent and flexible use of the kayaks and trips into town and to the local farmers market. We will definitely return here next time we’re in the area.

We had a very nice stay at this adorable apartment. Everything we needed was in the home and it was spotlessly cleaned. The check-in text was great - very descriptive. The bed is comfortable. We will definitely book here again.

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our stay at Jodi's cabin. It felt like home away from home. The cabin and bunkhouse were cozy and fit our big family perfectly. The layout of the property with the fire pit/grill area, chairs, and hammock being located between the cabin and bunkhouse made for a perfectly private setting. There was never a dull moment for the entire family - kayaking, paddle boading, pedal boating, fishing (we rented a pontoon from John Kozicki Pontoon Rental), swimming, games, bonfires and sunbathing. It was exactly what we needed to feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Jodi is a wonderful host and was responsive and friendly throughout the entire process. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The bathroom was well-stocked with necessities and plenty of towels. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the master bedroom has an amazing view of the river. Not one complaint was heard during our stay, and we cannot wait for our next visit!

Our family loved the time we had at Todd’s cabin, it was exactly what we needed. The cabin is in a very peaceful, quiet setting. The beds were very comfortable, both adults and kids loved the jukebox and games, and being able to have a kitchen that was equipped with all the pots/utensils/things we needed was huge. It made cooking at the cabin for ourselves a breeze. Todd was a great communicator and we had no issues during our stay at all. Thanks again so much!

Absolute 10/10 spot if you love riding ORV’s! We spent all weekend riding the trails and relaxing by the fire! The trailheads are right across the driveway which is so perfect! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your peaceful A-frame, Randi! We will be back soon!

Cabin is off the rode makes it nice for those who want to get away. Matt a fellow fishermen a big plus . I would book again in a hart beat.

What a GEM of a place! From the moment we walked in - it was so peaceful. The location was perfect - quiet yet convenient (close to the grocery store) and the cabin is clean and has so much character. Russ and Jade communicated throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back. If you are looking for a place to truly disconnect and immerse in nature in a cozzy cabin, you will not regret booking. This place is special.

This rental hits the bullseye on the little things - lighting, ambience, seclusion, the whole package coming together to provide an invigorating and refreshing experience for the two of us. We will definitely be back!

Than & Lisa are amazing hosts. The cabin more than suits the needs for anyone looking to go off the grid and find all the peace and quiet that exists on the property and surrounding nature. Speaking of nature, it’s a stone throw from Manistee National Forest and the North Country Trail (Hiking trail running from Vermont to North Dakota) if you’re into that type of thing. If not, there is plenty to offer even the infrequent outdoorsy person something to gravitate to. Be mindful of the lack of internet (cellphone) service…but that’s the point right?!?!

We loved staying at the cozy cabin.The house was clean and tidy and the decor was perfect for the cabin.The kitchen was well stocked with items like plates,bowls, silverware,pans,napkins etc. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo,q-tips and other necessities.The shower was nice and hot. We loved having the washer and dryer there.The living room is cozy and was perfect for our family of 4 to watch a movie together. The beds were very comfortable. We spent a lot of time just sitting outside around the fire pit,enjoying the shaded yard. The location is very convenient. It was a very short drive to get groceries etc.We also walked to the ice cream place. Virginia was very responsive to messages.I didn’t need to contact her much though because all of the information we needed was either in the air bnb listing or in the information binder.
