Birch, The Collaboration House

AlisonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The house was fantastic! An architect/designers dream Airbnb. Minimalistic and organized, clutter free with focus on the beautiful woods that the house is nestled in. The outdoor room was perfect for grilling and hanging outside with a bottle of wine.

i wanted to find a beautiful little house to stay in for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend, and this stunning home was PERFECT! we walked in and were immediately obsessed. the decor truly made it the most welcoming and homey feeling air bnb i’ve ever stayed in! the whole house gets engulfed in gorgeous sunlight during the day adding to the cozy feel. on day 2 we walked down to the beach and explored for a while, which was beautiful and so cool! we also visited mackinac island and getting to the ferry was so easy and it was a great day! for most of us, it was our first time on the island! our stay truly made my bestie’s bachelorette trip amazing and even better than i could have imagined! Eliška is super communicative and was ready to answer any questions i had. thank you so much for letting us use your space for such a special weekend!!! 🤍✨

Cozy Lil Red Cabin; Water Frontage, Dog Friendly!

KimRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were impressed by the comfort and welcome of the little red cabin. The hosts were wonderful, amenities plentiful and the cabin was cozy. We very much enjoyed the fire pit and the rocking Adirondack chairs. The outdoor space allowed us to soak up the sun and gain a quiet break from the city life. Easy to drive around this area + we really enjoyed our time spent at the cabin cooking meals and spending time with our dog (it was so amazing that there were bowls there for him). The location was perfect for us. We look forward to returning for another future visit.

Maxwell House, Farm setting Cheboygan, MI

ArianaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I did end up doing most of the corresponding with one of the co-hosts, as Pam was not reachable from the phone number listed in their binder of notes/recommendations. Overall, I would say it was a really good location and home to stay in.

Yellow House: Comfy Stay by Ferry in St. Ignace!

TayyibahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My family had a fantastic stay here! The location is AMAZING. You really can’t beat the distance to the ferry if you’re planning to go to Mackinac island, it’s truly down the street to the ferry station, not even a 5 minute walk. There’s also a fascinating Ojibwa museum next door and an ice cream place within walking distance for more fun activities in the area. The host Oxana was very nice and responsive, and the airbnb looks exactly like the pictures! The pull out couch is also very comfortable. Would love to visit again! :)

Welcome to 4 Seasons Getaway!

BriannaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
great location, easy to get in, there was firewood already (which we replaced to pay it forward), and was great that there was a propane grill also! we loved the covered porch. a few things for future renters or ourselves—the pans are well used, bring a couple pans if you don’t want to use teflon pans, and bring a griddle or something for making several pancakes at once.

Harbor Springs hilltop home.

NicoleRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We stayed at Cathy's place while having plans at Nub's Nob. The location was absolutely perfect. Cathy was incredibly friendly and helpful. The house was beautiful and comfortable and it truly felt like a home away from home. We would, without a doubt, stay here again when in the area.

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!

LindaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Kara was very responsive. The air conditioning was not working but they had someone out and it was fixed the same day. It was not as close to downtown as I would have liked but that was my fault for not completely checking out the location. Fantastic shower. Lots of room and super close to the bike trails. And gorgeous view of the water.

The Hideout: Luxe Birchwood Escape w/ Hot Tub

RebeccaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Makayla’s place is gorgeous and she’s a wonderful host. The place could have had less (cute) decorations for those traveling with young kids. We hid most of them but missed one or two that eventually became casualties of the 3 year old. But Makayla handled it with grace. And was so kind in her exchanges going so far as to mail back the toddler’s favorite PJs and stuffy.

Long Lake/Lakeside Jacuzzi/Pontoon/ Pet friendly

TomRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I'm not at all surprised that we were pleased with our stay; what surprised me was how much I agreed with the other fantastic reviews! Bill's experience in hospitality and excellent taste, attention to detail, and kindness pair wonderfully with the gorgeous location to create a truly phenomenal stay. We've had many great stays elsewhere, but this is as close as I've ever come to a friend tossing me the keys to their lake house for the weekend. The house is very well outfitted and cared for, with a top- notch kitchen and many thoughtful touches. Bill even took us on a boat ride around the lake during our stay! We've already reserved another stay. There is definitely a reason it is booked through the end of summer!! Highly recommend staying here and renting with Bill.

Your guide to Mackinaw City

All About Mackinaw City

Situated at the top of Michigan’s lower peninsula, just south of the magnificent Mackinac Bridge, is Mackinaw City — a charming coastal village with dazzling turquoise-blue waters, lush greenery, and well-preserved historic structures. The area is home to a few of Michigan’s historic lighthouses, including McGulpin Point Lighthouse and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse. Both lighthouses are open for visitors and include observation decks. Ferry and boat rides along the indigo waters of the Straits of Mackinac provide scenic views of the beautiful surrounding landscape and trips between two nearby towns, St. Ignace and Mackinac Island.

Downton Mackinaw City offers a unique shopping experience, where you can wander small local businesses, try the city’s famous fudge, find souvenirs, or grab a bite to eat at one of the town eateries. At the Mackinaw Bridge Museum, you’ll be able to learn about the city’s enduring ties to the sea and admire its symbolic landmarks. The area also offers boundless nautical adventures, including sailing, kayaking, parasailing, and ziplining over waterfalls.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mackinaw City

Mackinaw City experiences warm summers with cool breezes, providing optimal beach-going conditions, trips to the park, and other outdoor recreational activities. The fall and spring seasons bring pleasant conditions for exploring the city when the temperatures are relatively mild and the nights are cool. During the fall months, the leaves of maple, birch, sumac, and oak trees adorn Mackinaw City and the surrounding towns in vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow. A scenic drive through the city is one of the best ways to take in this colorful display. If you happen to be in town during Labor Day weekend, you can partake in the city’s longstanding tradition of allowing pedestrians to walk around the Mackinac Bridge for one day during the year.


Top things to do in Mackinaw City

Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse

For decades, the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, one of Michigan’s historic lighthouses, has assisted passing ships as they navigate the choppy waters of the Straits of Mackinac. You can climb the picturesque lighthouse tower, where you’ll be able to soak up magnificent views of the Straits of Mackinac, the Great Lakes, and the picturesque Mackinaw Bridge. You can also visit the restored keeper’s quarters.

Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park

Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park is nestled on the shoreline of the Straits of Mackinac and encompasses over 600 acres. The vast park offers miles of walking trails, lush and dense forests, vibrant wildflowers, and scenic views. You can also enjoy a canopy bridge, zipline, and climbing wall. The five-story treetop observation tower provides an exciting way to take in the lush and scenic natural landscape.

Mackinaw Bridge Museum

The Mackinaw Bridge Museum provides opportunities to learn about the famously picturesque Mackinac Bridge. Over five miles long, the bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere and stretches across the Straits of Mackinac. The Mackinaw Bridge Museum features an informative and curated collection of documents, photographs, diving suits, and tools to construct the bridge, providing insight on this extensive engineering feat and highlighting a piece of Mackinaw City’s history.
