Lake house vacation rentals in Mackinac Island

We stayed for a weekend with family and our fur babies and had an amazing time. Courtney let us check in earlier which was nice of her and we got to enjoy the water. The water was just as described crystal clear. House was super clean and cozy. We will definitely stay again next year.

My husband and I couldn’t have been more pleased with this B&B!! It was exactly fit what we envisioned for our private little getaway following our wedding! It was so peaceful and relaxing, especially having the warm hot tub while we admired the gorgeous lakefront view!! Extremely kind hosts as well!! Couldn’t have been more pleased all around!! We cannot wait to come back!!

Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

Returning to this place is like home. Very nice and peaceful. The lake was good to us this year, fishing was good and had some fantastic sunrises. Looking forward to planning for next year.

The house was amazing! The set up was perfect. It was bigger than it looked in the pictures. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our family (4 adults, 2 children) stay at Sun Bear was wonderful. The home is spotless and beautiful with floor-to-ceiling windows on the Lake Leelanau side of the house, great decks facing the lake, a stone fireplace for those chilly mornings, and a pier for launching the home’s kayaks and canoe. Additionally, Sun Bear is very tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well-stocked with spices and tools for cooking family dinners. Our host, Chris, was friendly, professional, and responded quickly to our requests and questions. He was also terrific about offering suggestions about restaurants in the area as well as places to see and things to do. He even went out and purchased the brands of coffee we enjoy. Talk about service! We will definitely try to stay at Sun Bear again.

Bobby & Janet were highly responsive hosts! Great communication and easy check in/out. Place is exactly as described. The two queen room has an en suite with shower over tub. The hall bath only has a tub with hand sprayer. The outdoor spaces were absolutely lovely. With 6 adults, it was nice to have space to spread out outdoors. We enjoyed the fire pit, grill, patio sitting area and hot tub. The view was so pretty and relaxing! We were a quick drive to many restaurants, breweries and wineries. 10 min to boating on Lake Charlevoix or to Petoskey and a quick shot to Boyne City for kayaking and more exploring. Highly recommend!

Not even sure where to begin! We booked this for my friends low-key bachelorette party and it was the most perfect place for us to relax and unplug! Shana was an amazing host, always communicating via the app in a very timely manner. The house was pristine and SO cute! It was clean and stocked with everything you could need (paddle board, kayaks, life jackets, wood, spare tooth brushes, ample towels, kitchen items, coffee were some of our favorites). The ONLY complaint - which is to no fault of the host - is that the mosquitos were thick at all hours of the day so be mindful of that :) have already reccomended this place to many friends and hoping I can back here soon too. 10/10 recommend!

family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

House was just perfect. It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Reasonable distance from Traverse City and attractions such as Sleeping Bear dunes. Amazing surroundings and environment. Comfortable beds too. The hot spa was a bonus. Thank you for the gift of wine and Cherry Republic chocolate! Both locally made! We enjoyed our stay!

My husband and I came to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Alex was so kind from the start and communicated helpful information, giving detailed instructions and made it clear he was available for anything we needed whenever. We had a great stay and hope to come back and visit some day in the future. Thanks Alex for being such a great airbnb host, you go the extra mile and it shows :) you will regret NOT staying here, so make sure you book this one.

Carrie was an amazing host from booking the reservation to making sure check out was a breeze. She was so accommodating and friendly, I felt like I was talking with a friend. The home itself is beyond describable. Every room was immaculate and the backyard views will be something we never forget. Our 2 dogs enjoyed the big, private beach and water! I’m so happy we decided to spend our last vacation as a family of 3 here! We are already planning our next visit with Carrie when the baby arrives. I can’t say enough good things about this place!!!! We highly recommend this home!

Stacey was wonderful! She answered all of my questions prior to our stay. The kitchen was truly a fully stocked kitchen. First time I have not had to bring things from home to be able to cook for our large family. Loved all of the recommendations she gave us for things to do and places to eat. The property was beautiful and very relaxing.

Great stay for the weekend. Peaceful and beautiful view of the lake. We seen bald eagles and caught fish off the dock. We would love a place like this to spend weekends away. Definitely would stay there again.

Bill was the most attentive host we’ve ever had. He’s personable and communicates well and truly wants to make sure your needs are met. He met us at the cottage and did an in-person orientation of the home. I felt comfortable texting him if any questions came up later. This was a beautiful home and very well cared for.

This place is beautiful,we had a great time place was very peaceful!!! I highly recommend the pontoon rental, great fishing info on the lake, great variety of fish from the dock!!

Kari's home on Lake Michigan was wonderful in every way. The property surrounding the house is beautifully landscaped with lovely plants, flowers and tall trees. Much attention to detail was apparent throughout the home. The gorgeous art, accessories, and decor were impeccable. It was apparent that in the decor she kept the historical integrity of a house built in the 1970's while adding a modern & elegant touch. Kari was completely responsive to all questions and concerns. The kitchen, house and garage were stocked with anything you could possibly need or want on a family vacation. The view, the beach, the surroundings couldn't have been more perfect. We would love to have the opportunity to enjoy this home again in the future.

Such a GREAT location. Beautiful view. Very peaceful. This is a GREAT place for a quiet getaway but close enough to get out in nature and do things. Would highly recommend to stay here.

The cabin was even better than expected! Nicole responded to every question that I had within 10 minutes. This was the perfect place for a kid free getaway and I think it would be just as fun in the winter as the summer. The location was perfect for visiting other cities if you want to travel around. We went to Petosky and Boyne city and visited Northern Michigan speedway on Saturday night. We will definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely Airbnb over the weekend, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the stunning beach view, which provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of the sun rising over the ocean was truly magical. The host was welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The accommodations were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged, making it feel like a home away from home. I had a fantastic time exploring the nearby beach and enjoying the local amenities. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy some quality time by the sea. I can't wait to return!

Lovely stay at Denise’s cottage!

This house is just as promised in all the photos. A beautiful house with a gorgeous view. Kitchen was equipped with all you need to do cooking or dining in while staying. All the spaces were clean and tidy with all the little things thought of like little throw blankets in the living areas to use, to puzzles and family & group friendly games. The hot tub overlooking the private lake access was perfect to enjoy in the evenings. Also the location! Cant beat it, close enough to downtown Traverse City to enjoy all the shopping and restaurants but far enough up on the peninsula to be close to many wineries and the downtown Sutton Bay area. We would definitely recommend this house and will be back when were in the area again.

Fantastic stay for the family!!! Great communication from the owner, immaculately clean, and some of the best views in the UP. Perfect location for exploring Mackinac Island.This place has all the amenities for a relaxing stay.

The place was an absolute delight! The house was cozy and felt just like home. The house was super clean and tidy. The cleanest house that I’ve stayed at actually. The neighborhood was calm and peaceful. The neighbors were friendly. The conveniency of the beach being steps away was really nice. I would definitely recommend.
