Walkable Lakefront In Town, Watercraft, Hot Tub
Very nice house on a beautiful lake Odessa. Look exactly like the pictures. Very peaceful place. Kids love it by the water and was able to fish all day. Would definitely consider going back.

Beautiful Lake Home.
The cottage was so cozy and clean. My stay was peaceful and relaxing, I would love to come back in the future!

Lakefront Private Cozy Cottage, Kayaks and Trails
Booked Holly's place for a week to fish Lake MI - even though we were 35 minutes from the launch, we really liked the location and solitude. We loved this place and space - and the price was great. This is a wonderful place for anyone seeking peace and quiet and worked very well with us - thank you Holly!!!

Private Mackinaw City Beach Cottage ~ Bridge view
The house was just as pictured! Plenty of room inside and out. Beautiful water front area to hang out and loved sitting on the deck having coffee and relaxing. Found everything we needed and Ordel was great with information for both the house and surrounding area. Great location to do day trips from...we did Mackinaw Island one day, Whitefish point and Tahquamenon Falls one day and the Soo Locks one day. Had a wonderful time, thanks Ordel!

Lonnie's Private Eco Cottage with Lake & Trails
Third stay in two weeks. Everything about the cottage and grounds is perfect and I am already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

Cottage on the Bay
The cottage was perfect for my daughter and myself visiting The Shrine of Our Lady of Champion (it was only 10 minutes away!). The location was also great as it was not too far from Green Bay in one direction and not too far from other towns we visited in the other direction. We appreciated how clean the cottage was, and we were very impressed with all the small touches inside that made it very comfortable (things like coffee, zip-loc bags, and even a s'mores kit!). We had one question for Zach during our stay, and he responded within minutes, which was awesome. There were a few restaurants right down the road, and we enjoyed them all (highly recommend Sweet Seasons Cafe, and the bowling alley pizza was delicious). Overall, it was everything we needed at a very reasonable price. Thanks, Zach!

The Lake Escape -Cozy Lakefront Cottage Valparaiso
I would recommend this place to anyone!!! Truly an above and beyond host and space was clean and inviting! Cannot wait to come back

Cute two bedroom cottage on Little Mill Lake!
The stay we had was beautiful and peaceful. Perfect little house that has everything to keep you entertained for a fun vacation.
Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Secluded dog-friendly cabin - hot tub & game room!
This place is so pretty. It was very spacious and the surroundings were gorgeous! We did not want to live. We felt like we were home and the beach was only a few minutes away. Zach was very helpful and responsive and very accommodating. The only thing we did not like was that the landscaping people were there twice during our stay. Waking up our baby one morning. We also had an issue w one of the hammocks but did not address this with Zach until after our stay.

Cozy 1-bedroom cottage with hot tub
Super comfortable, nice place to stay, we had to leave early for an emergency and Jerry was super understanding about it. He is a great host and the house is adorable!

A-Frame | Lakes, Trails & Sleeping Bear Dunes
What a great stay! I love an A frame and this house was perfect. It was well stocked - even had plenty of wood for the fire pit. The s'mores welcome kit was perfect. I will say that if you have a hard time with stairs then this house probably isn't for you because the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs but Carrie has several other homes to choose from. It really is peaceful. There are neighbors but they are quiet and we only saw one set of neighbors the three days we were there. The dirt roads to the house weren't bad either. I will stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Actually am seriously considering taking my 3 college age daughters for a girls' weekend.

Harbor Country Michigan Hide-Away
We had a great time staying at Amy's place! It is the perfect size for a couple. It feels very cozy and like you are actually staying at someone's home vs. the sterile Airbnbs that are owned by corporate entities these days. The property is as described. It is very private, yet close to everything! I would recommend staying here if you're in the area.

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
Anna was a great host! Very responsive and reached out to see if we needed anything. Her cottage is super clean, cozy, and the tranquility of the location can’t be beat. We shall return!

Cottage near Hagar Beach Pet friendly with Hot tub
Great place to stay located right in the coast and close to fun towns. Lee is an amazing host!

Cozy, Quiet Cottage with so much Character! Clean!
As soon as we started packing we already miss it we loved it the hot was nice I love how at night time the sitting area light up up the inside was lovely I love how it’s small but it have a lot of space the was our first time getting an Airbnb and we loved it 10/10 would definitely come here again food spot little far out but we didn’t mind it the drive is nice and peaceful I love how we get to cows and horses on the way only 2 things I’ll say about the Airbnb I wouldn’t complain about or make it a big deal you will see ants ofc and the bed was uncomfortable but we really didn’t mind it we had to much fun to even worry about other than that we loved it❤️

Hot tub! Red Tin Cottage of Harbor Country!
We had a quick two night stay while visiting the area. The house was as listed and we had a great time. We loved the hot tub and the indoor space. Comfortable seating in the living area while we waited out the rain. There is a train that travels close by but otherwise had a great stay!

Freshly Renovated 1940s "Sunshine Park Cottage"
5 stars! This Airbnb was truly amazing! The space was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated, and I absolutely loved all the individual touches the host added—it made the stay feel so personal and welcoming. They even had a helpful list with local restaurants, places to visit, and activities in the area, which made exploring so much easier and more fun. There were also tons of extras available in case we needed anything, which just shows how thoughtful and prepared the host was. While there was some city work happening during our stay (completely out of the host’s control), they still went above and beyond by bringing us a thoughtful thank-you gift for being understanding. That kind of kindness truly stood out. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay

Northwind Llama retreat 'Loft Cottage'
Llamas were great! the peaceful getaway we needed. its right next to the best dog park (with a beach) ive ever been to! we will be going back and cannot wait to see the little baby Llama all grown up. Robert was a great host!

Cottage in the woods-Lake MI access
A hidden gem of a cabin within a really short walk to the beach! We loved staying so close to the water, even if the weather wasn’t quite warm enough for sunbathing, it was still so nice just to walk out there. We also loved how close it was to downtown Pentwater, just a four minute drive. The perfect combination of private, peaceful woods with the convenience of a short drive to dinner/ice cream. :) The place itself is well-maintained as well, and although it is a hike of a staircase from the car, it’s worth it. We liked how there were gates on the deck so we could hang out with our dog without worry. The tap water was sulfur-y and iron-y, but that’s to be expected with a cabin in the woods, and Rob provided bottled water which was perfect to kick off our trip. Thank you for a great getaway!!

*HighlyRated* WalkToLake *OutdoorShower* ManCave
**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

Wet Nest! Private Lakefront,Dog Friendly Cabin on
Such a great place, we really enjoyed it and it was a great spot to bring our little kids and dog! We hope to return next year!

Webster Lakefront Updated Studio with Pier & Deck
very clean studio right on the water. Nice having a dock to park our boat. Had some snacks and a nice welcoming note for us and our dogs : ) . Were able to cook meals , but also nice restaurants to go to if you chose not to. Would definitely stay again and will be back

Lakefront! Beach Swimming Kayaks Firepit Wifi Pet
My husband and I had a wonderful time relaxing at this lake house. It had everything needed for us to kick back, relax, and unplug. Our host was very responsive with every contact that we made! The only thing I would add to the house description is that there are a few pretty tall steps in the house, so someone with bad knees might want to consider that. Great place and well with the money!

The Artist's Guest House
Many thanks to Oksana for the wonderful visit! The guest house is a jewel box full of treasures. It is so comfy and close to town. It was perfect for my husband, dog, and me with the wonderful fenced backyard. Thanks for all the wonderful touches like homemade bread and information for dog-friendly hikes and beaches. It was great to explore and photograph the nearby lake shores and then come back to relax at the guest house. We hope to visit again soon!
