Vacation rentals with lake access in Kalkaska County

house was super clean, beds were very comfy and there were lots of pillows and blankets. plenty of things in the kitchen we could use! overall it was a comfortable stay.

We couldn’t have asked for a better fall weekend up north. The colors were fabulous and the lake was gorgeous. Ben and Alessia’s cottage is wonderful and has a prime location on the lake. They had all amenities that we could ask for in the cottage. All the beds were very comfortable and the living room is cozy. The fire pit outside was great to have a bonfire too. Everything was so nice and clean and there was easy access to whatever we needed. We had no complaints about anything and would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great vacation up north!

Sarah is so kind to offer late checkout, which helps us a lot due to the late arrival from a car accident. The place is so nice and good view and access to the lakeside, we had a good morning time. And the kids enjoyed a lot the different kinds of toys. It’s a place I would be recommended to my friends.

Good location. Quiet setting in the woods. Clean. Responsive host. Plenty of parking. Close to Torch River boat launch.

Extremely beautiful home and property. Very clean and spacious. The house and kitchen had all the essentials, and there were a variety of games for all the children. Our personal favorite was shuffleboard. The dock is absolutely perfect for fishing, and the paddleboat is a nice touch. The beds were very comfortable, and it was so nice to have TVs in pretty much every room. I also loved that there were so many soft blankets and cozy spots throughout the home. We were able to use the fire pit and grill, and overall, it was a fantastic getaway for the family, and I love that this stunning property is pet-friendly! Highly recommend!

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

Everything as pictured and described. We fit comfortably with plenty of room. Great location, close to everything. Host was easy to communicate with and friendly. Awesome gameroom for kids. Mother in law suite smelled a little musty, and also no closets or dressers in there for ur clothes. It would be nice if there was at least 1 dresser. But worked for what we needed.

Great home and location, right near torch lake and the marina. Very peaceful, and beautiful views, especially at sunset. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the area!

It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Angela’s property. So many beautiful plants and everything was so clean and well maintained outside. A real oasis. The room was very clean and the linens smelled so good. I am a germaphobe and I never felt uncomfortable staying there. It was near so many attractions while also being very private and peaceful —we spent every evening sitting on the beach just taking it all in. Can’t recommend enough!

My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Very nice rental, exactly as pictured. Location was perfect for skiing, tubing, indoor pool access, resort restaurants. Everything within minutes to Schuss Mountain, Shanty Creek or Bellaire (Short’s brewery). Very cozy space. Fireplace was great, comfortable seating/bed, coffee pods. Would definitely come back.

We loved our stay at jeffrey’s place! From the pictures, we were expecting it to be great but it exceeded our high expectations! The location is perfect for exploring traverse city. The decor is elevated and the space was more than sufficient for our group of 5. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds felt high-end. It’s not often when all bedrooms have a king bed! We were thrilled. Would highly recommend!

We were in town for the Bayshore Half Marathon and initially expected a group of five, but it ended up being just two couples. The condo was perfect for our group! The parking was clearly marked, and we had the place to ourselves. It was easy to access, and we even tried out the elevator. At first, we weren’t sure which building was ours since there are several nearby, but once we got our bearings, everything was smooth. The location truly can’t be beat — we were able to walk to almost everything! The views are absolutely stunning. I only wish we had better weather so we could have spent more time outside enjoying them. The condo itself was clean and comfortable, with just the right amount of space for the four of us. Having two bathrooms, a cozy living area, and separated sleeping spaces made our stay really comfortable. We’d love the chance to stay here again in the future!

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

Beautiful peaceful place , private and easy to find , clean, neat . I loved it only suggestions is bring spray for the nats inside they were annoying it was better sitting outside no bug problems. Lol 😆 🤣

We had an amazing stay in an absolutely beautiful location. Shawn was an amazing host that went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure our stay was exceptional!

Charming house, with views of Torch Lake. The sand bar access/ swimming is just down the street about 200 yards. Beautiful wooded back yard, with a firepit, lawn furniture and hammock for realaxing. House is clean and comfy. everything you need for a stay. Like the add says, bring your toothbrush and beach towel, everything else is there for you.

We needed to bring Thanksgiving to the area where our parents live but needed extra space so we rented this cabin. Very secluded but not alone (there are other cabins around). It was just great, very cozy during a couple of cold snowy nights! Very well outfitted, especially the full size kitchen. We brought a few things with us worried that the kitchen may not have everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner but it did! Great communication from the hosts at all times, but we never needed anything. We would happily go back again, hopefully in the summer, what a beautiful spot overlooking Starvation Lake.

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

What a wonderful stay! Haley, you are the hostess with the mostest. This was hands-down one of the most jaw-dropping Airbnbs we have ever stayed in,perfect for a bachelorette weekend! The place had everything like, show up with nothing but your underwear and you’d still be set. Super clean, beautifully decorated, and so well-stocked (from the front door hooks to the unlimited amount of towels available). There was even a whole binder with everything from how the awning and remote works to where to grab food nearby. So thoughtful for those who aren’t from here! The beds were cozy, the pillows were a crowd favorite, and there was so much space for all our games. We had access to control the air/heat (big win), and we loved the stash of games (well the winners did) The location was a dream….right on the water and walking distance to some food spots and liquor stores. Only downside? The weather didn’t let us fully enjoy the dock and patio, but we were too busy loving everything inside.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the quiet mornings and evenings in the back yard. We also enjoyed that the ORV trails were just a short drive down the road.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! We appreciated the gorgeous lake and large yard. The lake view from the sun room was a highlight, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The cottage is well stocked with every amenity, and there is a thoughtful guide to the house and area. Our host was amazing and very attentive, ensuring we had an amazing stay. We feel lucky to have found such a lovely place to stay this time of year during peek fall foliage week; it was very peaceful and relaxing. We will be happy to come back again during the summer, as it was not the season for water sports. Beautiful, immaculately clean, and welcoming home!
