Vacation rentals with a kayak in Genesee County

The cottage was perfect for our stay. It was an amazing spot on Ryan Lake. The cottage was very roomy and clean. Anna was always responsive. The stairs were a bit steep but wasn't a problem for us. Thankfully there was a bedroom downstairs that worked great for our 80 year old Dad. He said staying at the cottage was the best part of his trip. He loved sitting and watching the birds in the yard and on the lake. It's really a hidden gem.

Fantastic location! Feels like "up north" but only 1 hour from Detroit. Quiet, no-wake lake with large yard, fire pit, screened in porch and beautiful views. Highly recommend and plan to return next year.

This place is beautiful, has all of the amenities, the lake is gorgeous and overall this home has everything you could ever want. Fresh baked cookies, a hand written note, anything you could need in the kitchen, endless games. Caught huge bass in the lake! Overall this place is wonderful and I’d highly recommend. My family and I enjoyed every moment there. Due to no fault of the host, but something I’m surprised isn’t mentioned more is the neighbors. There are signs everywhere that make you feel uncomfortable as they are very unhappy about the airbnb being next door. It felt intentional of them standing close to the property lines and watching us but overall it didn’t interfere with our good time. It is a little uncomfortable but nothing could have stopped us from enjoying this beautiful home.

We enjoyed our stay at Dawn’s beautiful home! Wonderful view! Lovely house! The space is very intentionally put together to ensure a great trip!

Definitely one of our best stays at an airbnb! We loved the hot tub and the converted garage space. Kayaking on the lake was the best part of our stay. The surrounding area is also super nice and lots to do! Would recommend to anyone!

The place was perfect and very relaxing. Enough space for our big family plus grandma and grandpa. We all had fun fishing from the dock and playing on the kayaks. We even enjoyed a fire in the fire pit every night. Colleen was fabulous and made sure we had everything we needed!

Mackenzie had everything we needed for our family stay in Frankenmuth. Lovely home!

It looks exactly like the photos but the lake is prettier in person. Daniel was very responsive during the entire process and made sure we’d have everything we needed. Made my birthday very special! Definitely plan on booking again in the future.

House was clean and cozy. Heating and water temperature were nice. beds and linens were comfortable and the area wqs cozy. Only negative that I can really think of is the low water pressure, which can fallen anywhere and still worked fine. was a great stay and Dang was very attentive and responsive.

Lori was incredibly accommodating for every part of our stay. Lori's place was like getting VIP service. She had tons of local recommendations, everything was labeled and she had everything you may possibly need for your stay. Lori even delivered us some local donuts during one day of our stay! The sleep number bed was nice, but if you're use to a thicker mattress (like I am) keep in mind that the mattress is a little on the thinner side. Still comfortable though. We will definitely be booking here again on our next trip through.

Amy and Beau’s place was incredible. We were able to take the kayaks out and paddle out to the bridge. We also enjoyed the comfortable accommodations—especially the beds. A fire pit at night completed the weekend. We will definitely be back!!

This was the second time staying at Fran's place and we had a great stay. Fran's cottage is super cozy and well-appointed, with everything you need for cooking, whether you are preparing a simple meal or having a big BBQ. The couch is comfy and the beds are too. Since the front room window of Fran's cottage has an up close view of a small, uninhabited woody island, we didn't have to go very far for morning birdwatching! The cottage is in a small, quiet neighborhood and it feels very calm and far away from busy city life. However it's not a long drive to Detroit or other big cities/towns. We had some amazing canoe and kayak paddles on the lake and enjoyed seeing all the wildlife. The cottage is right on the water, so launching was simple. We especially appreciated that Fran took the extra time to leave nice snacks and coffee, much appreciated after a long trip.

Very nice cabin in a quiet area on a small lake. Sherry was very friendly and responsive to our requests. This was the perfect "home away from home" for our little swimming adventure. we'll come back next year if we can.

Mark was great! Highly recommend for a little peaceful getaway

The home and location were absolutely perfect! Everything was exactly as listed and was so beautiful and homey. I just wish the weather had been a bit warmer to fully enjoy the outdoor seating and activities. I highly recommend and hope to visit again. Thanks so much!

Cozy space with a beautiful view of the river! Everything was spotless and clean, making me feel right at home. Would highly recommend if you're needing a place in Milford!

My brothers and I with our significant others always get together for a weekend at the Renaissance Festival in Holly and this was literally the perfect cabin for us - close enough that we could go to and from if we needed a break during our long days at the Faire and peaceful enough at night to come back to and relax or play games like we love to do together. Plenty of space that we could all have beds and felt cozy. The lake is beautiful this time of year and even was warm enough that we could have swam after if we wanted or weren’t warn out from our long days. Parking was easy to figure out even with four vehicles. Host was responsive and super helpful and even allowed us to check in early when we realized that we would rather all drive in together last second. (Whoops! Poor planning on my part.) There was even provided water which was lovely as well, and a really nice touch when it comes to well water! Thank you so much and we will be back!

Great host, cabin was so nice. Definitely will be coming back.

This is our third time staying at Chad's place and it was as great as before. The place is beautiful, private, and serene. The house has everything you need for a terrific trip in the country.

Staying at Matthew's Place was a delightful experience for us. Nestled in the charm of the 1950s, this fishing cabin brims with character. It's cozy and quaint, yet it doesn't skimp on cleanliness or convenience. Located near the enchanting Village of Clarkston, it offers easy access to local neighborhoods and the downtown area on foot. The serene lake, adorned with ducks, swans, and turtles, provided a peaceful backdrop to our stay. Rick managed to catch a big large- mouth bass, which, in the spirit of catch and release, was returned to its aquatic home. We took advantage of the canoe for a gentle paddle on the lake. We brought our own life vests, though Mathew does provide everything we needed. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable, and we wholeheartedly recommend Matthew's Place to singles, couples, and small families looking for a quaint getaway with a touch of adventure.

Stephanie’s place was beautiful and private. Exactly what we were looking for as guests. It’s a a lot more spacious than I had imagined, and the view of the lake with the fire pit lit was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place to family/friends and come back again for a future vacation. 🤩🤩

Felt right at home in this 1940’s log cabin. Ryan and Tammy’s communication was very helpful before arrival of items they provided and check in process. The beds are not the most comfortable but good enough for us for two nights. Plenty of pillow options and linens. The cabin does have low doorways so if you’re tall you will have the urge to slouch inside. The house is nestled on a hill with plenty of trees that provide privacy and a secluded feel from the surrounding homes. The log cabin is unique to this very nice neighborhood as other homes are more traditional. We enjoyed coffee on the porch and spotted turkeys, deer along with plenty of birds, squirrels and chipmunks. It was a great cozy find. This was our first Airbnb experience and this stay encourages us to find another gem in the future.

Kira and Morgan were great hosts and went above and beyond on our stay. Would absolutely rent from them again.
