Birch Le 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.

Paradise Acres- Easy Day Trips to Mackinac Island

LanceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great place to stay. We made a weekend trip to visit Mackinac Island, which was less than 20 minutes away. The place was in perfect order with lots of different games to play. You can tell they put lots of thought into renting their space because it feels just like home. They even left a bottle of wine, all the ingredients to make smores, and two bags of popcorn for us to use. Definitely a great host!

Enjoy your stay close to town at The Clay Slipper

MarcyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We were in town for a funeral, and I mentioned this to Patty before our arrival. When we got to the house, we were touched to find two travel packs of Kleenex thoughtfully left for us. I reached out to thank her, as I had gone through mine and hers at the service. The next morning, we found two more packs tucked in a Ziplock bag under our windshield wiper with a sweet note that said, ‘Just in case.’ It was such a kind and considerate gesture that truly made a difference during a tough time. As for the home, it’s perfect for a single person or couple. It was spotless, well-organized, comfortable furniture, ample closet space, and both the check-in and check-out processes were easy and straightforward. We would highly recommend and will stay there again without hesitation!

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 stars4 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.
