Family-friendly vacation rentals in Michigan

Cutest little house! Beautifully furnished, overall very peaceful and relaxing space.

Such a nice quiet spot! The area had multiple campers and spaces rented out but it felt like we were alone, that’s how well it was spaced out and set up. Kid friendly and very easy to relax. Will definitely be back!

I stayed at Melissa's place with a group of 4 other girls for my sister's bachelorette party. Not only was the space perfect sized for our group, but the girls and I could not get over how amazing the property was. We obsessed over the view from the kitchen window, the decor and gingham curtains in the living room, and the loft bedroom. Everything was so well done and thought through and we spent a majority of our time during the weekend hanging out at the house, having dinner on the front porch, and admiring the baby pigs!! And when we did venture into Sutton's Bay or Traverse City, the ride was smooth and had beautiful scenery of up north Michigan. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the linens were definitely adequate for all of us to sleep comfortably. I will definitely be booking here again!

My husband and I stayed 3 nights to celebrate our 25th anniversary. After going through many listings and reading guest comments, we decided to stay here. We wanted to be close to town, but we also wanted to enjoy relaxing in the outdoors. Her home is beautiful! Some guests mentioned that it was a bit outdated. We found it interesting. It was very well taken care of and very clean! We loved the floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom, the screened in porch, and all the windows facing the marsh and Kalamazoo River. It was so peaceful and EXACTLY what we needed. There were so many birds, squirrels, and even some muskrats playing in the river in the evening. We loved the fire ring next to the river. It felt very private even though there are neighbors on both sides, which you can't see too well in the photos. We stayed Mon.-Wed. and there was no one around. The only con is that the Hot Tub needs an upgrade. It didn't bother us as everything else was perfect.

This house was perfect for our family of 14. Everything we need was there, including items for our 15 month old. The beach area was amazing and the outdoor shower and hot tub were an added bonus.

Such a fun weekend! Location to beach and other fun activities was fantastic! Very cute cottage with all the amenities we needed. Thanks, Jennifer!!

My family and I loved staying here! The pool was perfect and we used it every single day and the space was ideal for us - my 4 year old especially loved the games (first timer playing Sorry) and PAC Man along with the nature / fire pit (and pool of course). It was very close to downtown Saugatuck and the host was super responsive. Our dog was also very relaxed in this location as it was quiet and peaceful and he is getting older. Thanks for the great stay and we can’t wait to come back’

We were looking for waterfalls and hiking. Phil's place was in the perfect location to find numerous opportunities for both. The cabin itself was well outfitted, comfortable and spacious for the four of us. Loved the hot tub, grill, and fire pit. Phil and Tracy were very responsive and great with communication both before and during our stay. It was cold for a June date and we had an issue with the furnace. Phil and Tracy were so helpful even to the point of coming to check it and getting a repairman there in short order.

Wow! What an incredible weekend away all thanks to this CUTE airbnb! Hosting was wonderful, our stay was peaceful and they were very welcoming to my pup! Enjoyed every second, especially the sauna!

My wife, toddler, and I had a great summer weekend in Pentwater! The cottage was perfect for our small family. We were just minutes away from the beach and downtown. The cottage was well furnished and had just what we need. If your stay is in the summer, please be sure to bring a fan or two and other things to stay cool in the evening. Rob communicated great tips on cooling at night, but with no AC, it can still get quite stuffy. Rob also provided the cottage with multiple blowing fans. A great trip once again! Rob is a great host and will take care of what you need.

The house and location were absolutely beautiful! It was spacious and homey. The private lake and fire pit were our favorite part! It was secluded which made for a nice little getaway. The home was equipped with everything we needed for a perfect stay. We would definitely recommend.

I honestly believe this is just about the nicest Airbnb that I have stayed in over the last 10 years. The home has a wonderful layout and the backyard with the treehouse, deck and fire pit is makes for such a relaxing experience. The kitchen has absolutely everything you will need. The beds are super comfy. Lauren was quick to respond and very helpful. We will be back!

Private location - perfect for a get-away. Cabin had everything we needed and more. Great location close to North Country Trail.

I want to give this place 100 ⭐️ and at the same time selfishly give it 1 ⭐️ so I can book it whenever I want 😂 Seriously, this place is a real gem. It was super clean, quiet, so incredibly peaceful. The lake is so serene and inviting. The paddle boat was under repair but we took out the canoe a few times and we literally had the lake to ourselves, enjoying the sounds of the wind and birds and just nature. We and our fur babies had such a wonderful time - we will be back! Also, the WiFi was impressive connection for the area. It was like the best of all worlds…being off the grid while still on it ❤️

This was such a great find! It was so peaceful in the woods. Having coffee on the porches in the morning was a great way to start the day! Craig was such a communicative host! We really felt like we had all the information we needed well before check-in.

My boyfriend, wiener dog, and I had the best time. We spent so much time together in the cabin which was so relaxing for us. It is in the perfect spot between Houghton and Marquette to see a lot of beautiful spots in the UP.

This house was exactly what we were looking for when booking for my bachelorette trip. It was private, relaxing, and was surrounded by beautiful views. Unfortunately it was not warm enough for the pool during our stay, but the hot tube and sauna were amazing. The cliff at the water’s edge was even better than the pictures. Cheryl was always on top of responding whenever anything came up, or for any questions we had before and during the stay. She was an amazing host, and I would definitely stay here again when going to the UP.

Excellent location. Unit is small and bathroom/toilet is a tight fit. Very clean on arrival and furnishings are nice.

My girlfriends and I had a great stay! Ann’s place was peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing outside, watching the animals and soaking in the hot tub. We will definitely be back!

This is our 3rd year in a row to come for an extended Labor Day weekend and bring our kids and/or grandkids. We love the setting. The pool is perfect for the younger kids and the adults appreciate the beauty of all the surroundings, including at poolside. If we could change anything at all we would add another bedroom as we can't quite get all of our extended family here at one time. That said, we would like to return for a 4th year at Labor Day weekend time next year. The combination of beauty, privacy, amenities, condition (always in great shape!), and proximity to lovely South Haven can hardly be beat!

Jennifer’s home was absolutely amazing—beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared in every way. It was the perfect place for our family getaway. The kids had an incredible time and are still talking about all the fun they had. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend staying here—thank you, Jennifer, for being such a wonderful host!

This Beautiful Farmhouse was more than we could ever want and more!! Such a relaxing birthday weekend with amazing Memories we will never forget! I know everyone says this but Debbie honestly is like family, especially to me! We definitely bonded ❤️ We are already talking about our next trip here we loved it that much! This place is a GEM and I recommend 100 million percent!

Beautiful cabin by the lake and close to beaches. The place was clean and amazing we enjoyed our stay very much! Highly recommend

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable home. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home — every detail was thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The space was spotless, stylish, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our experience was the exceptional management team. They were extremely kind, friendly, and responsive, making everything seamless from check-in to check-out. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality!
