Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Michigan

We had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—super clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The location was perfect and made it easy to get around and explore the downtown Traverse City. We really appreciated how spotless everything was when we arrived—it made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot, and we’d definitely stay here again!

Great location-clean apartment-loved the access to lakeshore-easy to walk to recreational activities and restaurants. Public transportation accessible as well.

The apartment was great - the building was lovely, especially the gym which was great to be able to use. Super close to multiple bus stops and an L line, which made getting around super easy. The apartment itself was clean and looked like the pictures! Only downside was I that I was not able to check in on time, however I was able to drop bags off, which was really helpful, and they were super responsive to any question or concern I had during my stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Jesse was very responsive every time I sent a message. The apartment was clean and inviting and included beautiful artwork by his wife. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. The Keurig pods and seasonings in the kitchen as well as the q-tips and makeup remover cloths in the bathrooms were nice added touches. We would highly recommend.

This was my second time staying here and I’ll always return if it’s available. Harry and Nancy are incredible hosts that go above and beyond to make sure you feel you’re at your second home. My daughter couldn’t get over how beautiful and comfortable is was!

Everything about this experience was perfect. The home, the location and Dave as a host. We didn't bring bicycles because the weather was wet, but we easily walked to and from town from this location. The home had some unique features we enjoyed quite a bit. Dave left nothing to chance when furnishing the place. I could not think of another thing he could have added to accommodate anyone's needs. Great place to relax!

Aaron was an excellent host - he provided great recommendations and reached out to make sure we were OK. The lobby at Lawrence House was a gorgeous place to meet with our Chicago family members for drinks from Larry's. We would definitely stay with Aaron again

The only issue was finding the location in the beginning, BUT their response time was extremely quick and they made sure they stayed on the phone with me until i found the address. They walked me through the entire neighborhood to get there. The area was walkable, and safe. Everything was clean and comfortable. I truly fell in love with the view of the apartment and the blue couch! The host did absolutely amazing. I paid for the garage parking which was the best decision i ever made! Safe, and not having to worry about daily parking findings. I will be back in august and i WILL be booking this apartment again!

It was better than expected. The place was clean, amenities were thoughtful. Everything we needed was there. The host definitely had the guests best interest in mind. . Very pleased. 5 star host for sure.

The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

Great accommodations for our family of 5. It's nice to have 3 bedrooms with all queen beds so everyone has ample room. Very clean. Responsive, attentive host. Would stay here again! Thanks!

Rockstar 3A was everything we hoped it would be and MORE. Amazing location to start with. The unit itself was immaculate. Very nice layout and never felt cramped with 4 adults staying for 2 nights. It has great TV's if you end up staying in, and a kick ass air conditioner for the hot days (it was HOT for our couple of days) There is nothing our group could find that was wrong with the place. It was PERFECT.

Wendy and Matt's place was comfortable and homey. The location was great, the apartment comfortable, and we had essential amenities. The building is mid-century modern and designed by famed architect Harry Weese that incorporates thoughtful references to Chicago architectural history throughout while still remaining visually cohesive. One minor issue is the stove, which is electric and somewhat underpowered. It's good enough for minor work like breakfast or heating leftovers but you may struggle producing more elaborate meals. It was a very minor quibble but worth noting for those culinarians wanting to prepare their own meals. The oven is decent but there is only one. Overall, my stay was excellent and I recommend Wendy and Matt's place wholeheartedly. They are excellent hosts as well.

I was very happy with my stay. Place was exactly as advertised, and loved the added amenity of a 24 hour (adults only) pool located just a short walk away. Location was prime for Door County, located right between Sturgeon Bay and Sister Bay, making it easily accessible and drivable for all the wineries and sight-seeing you want to do in the peninsula. Thank you Carrie!

This home was beautifully decorated, the beds were super comfortable, from the mattresses to the linens. We loved how clean and clearly cared for everything was, and Mark and Marcelo were responsive and helpful anytime we had a question. We needed a place that felt like home while visiting Chicago for my son's graduation, and this was perfect for the three of us. An added bonus was that there is a designated parking spot on the premises.

We really enjoyed our time at Mario's rental. The townhome is well appointed and in a great location. We enjoyed use of the clubhouse. Mario was very responsive to our needs and a friendly host. Highly recommend!

This is a hidden gem! Our group stayed here for a weekend and had an awesome time. We loved the hot tub, the cozy couch and big common spaces, the tricked out finished garage space, and easy access to the lakes (both by kayaking or a nice 25 min path walk). Aaron is a phenomenal host. He stocked the place with anything we could’ve needed and more. Would stay here again for sure. Only knock is we overestimated the number of bedrooms by 1, but that might’ve been our own fault. We had someone sleep on the nice big couch so it wasn’t an issue.

Great place to go and very peaceful. Only down fall was family being separated, we all had a great time , a lot of walking around due to the kitchen and top deck where grill is all being to far apart, other than it was a nice visit

Very nice home and wonderful host. Had a small issue with "check-in" but host was immediately available and helped make the process very smooth. More of an error on my end than his, but his attentiveness eased my mind that if anything was needed throughout our stay, that he would be available. Thankfully everything else went smoothly and there was no need to contact him. Home is very serene and very close to downtown location and very short driving distances to other areas. Host did a great job giving recommendations of things to do and see in the area. Home had plenty of space for what we needed.

This is a great location and easy to find. The surroundings are beautiful and the beach is accessible. The water is beautiful, although it may take 100 yards through sand to get to it. The sand was deep and luxurious has any Caribbean island. And more importantly is beautiful as the water is it has no sharks.

The house and adjoining land are so beautiful and peaceful. The house has a beautiful wooden interior and very open layout. The kitchen is super spacious, which makes it easy to maneuver. The backyard and patio area are great places to have larger group gatherings. The bedrooms are adequately equipped with all needs, and the bathrooms are well maintained. Our group enjoyed every aspect of the house, and we believed it’s one of the most visually beautiful interiors we’ve seen. We would highly recommend staying here, especially with ease of use to get to nearby locations.

Nathan’s place was lovely. The attention to details made it feel very homey. I wish we could have stayed longer than one night to enjoy it even more. Our night there was at the end of a road trip and it was the perfect place to relax before heading home.

Larry was a very accommodating and responsive host! The place was amazing and exactly as described. Plenty of room, amenities, and beautiful views. He made sure we had plenty of supplies and all the stuff for Smores!

We were 2 families staying at the house and it was the perfect place to make so many memories! The downstairs living space and bedroom with the 3 beds was a great spot for the kids to retreat to for late night movies and playing pool! The kitchen was well appointed with all necessary supplies. The living room couches were so unbelievably comfortable—many naps were taken there. The golf cart was extremely helpful since the beach was a little less than a mile away and the kids did not want to do the walk every day with all the beach stuff. I think our only wishes were that the golf cart was a 6 person and that there was at least another frying pan. Otherwise, amazing trip at an amazing house!
