Petoskey’s “Peeks of the Bay”
We stayed at Sandy’s place for a nearby wedding, and it was beyond our expectation. Check in was a seamless process and incredibly easy. Not only is the house super spacious, it had beautiful views and a large yard. We brought our fur baby, and Sandy was so accommodating by providing leashes, bowls, toys and treats, which means a ton! We would definitely stay again. Thanks, Sandy!

Modern apt. Free parking, Steps to downtown.
Great host and place! Awesome location and great recommendations from the host guide, also dog friendly was a bonus being able to walk our dog around the town!

Birch, The Collaboration House
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.

Tiny Home on quiet acreage 5 minutes to Boyne Mtn
We had a beautiful stay! The house was described perfect and was so cute. The outside allows for fires, outdoor meals, and feeding the chickens! We’d love to stay again.

Cozy Cottage on the Lake.
I have a wonderful time here celebrating my 30th birthday. Even tho the weather was raining I still had such an amazing time, it was so peaceful and relaxing! It literally felt like I was home

MCM A-Frame | HOT TUB | Lake | Golf| Nature|Kayaks
Loved this place for our girls weekend. The stairs were narrow but knew this before we booked. Place was clean and had some nice extras …. Hammock and hot tub was used often. Katie was a wonderful host. We did not have any problem so the there was little contact. Blinds on the entry door would be a nice thing to add. Would recommend! 5 stars for this beautiful little A Frame.

City Cabin; Boyne City 1 Mile to Beach, Walk Trail
The cabin is really cute. Perfect setup for our family. We enjoyed the stay and location. Unfortunately got caught in a terrible ice storm which brought trees down all around the house but the hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive. Helped make a bad situation workable. Overall, the house is great and despite the hiccup recommend.

Cozy, rustic One room cabin.
Such a lovely cabin, very serene and peaceful. The cabin had everything we needed and the host was very pleasant. We would definitely stay again and we definitely recommend this one if your looking for some peace and quiet up north 😊

Lime Lake Therapy-HotTub/PingPong/LakeSide/Dock/AC
I got a wicked deal on a night here, and the hosts were very responsive and kind. The house was clean and well organized as well as had beautiful views. Will be back!

Beautiful Log Cabin on the River with Hot Tub
This place was so nice and relaxing! One thing that we were happy about is that they welcomed dogs! We have 2, 9 month old mini poodles and this was their first adventure so having a host that accepts pets was #1 on our list. This place is way better than the pictures! We felt right at home and we loved watching the boats go by on the river! The beds were so comfy and made for an even better relaxing time. I highly recommend this place. It is very private and quiet! We saw lots of different types of birds, including a couple eagles. We knew a beaver was close by but never got to see him, only his handy work. I wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back in the future! Thank you Donald, we soooo enjoyed your place!

Tiny Home Industrial/Brewery Themed w/ Hot Tub
It is exactly what the description says it is. The hot tub was great, after a long day of wandering around Bel Air, Traverse City, and Charlevoix.

Little Hathaway in Harbor Springs
I will be back to stay here. Exactly what we needed!

New Hot Tub, close to Boyne Mtn, Lake Charlevoix
This place was perfect! More than enough space, the location is walkable to downtown, and the hot tub was exactly what we needed. The original vintage appliances were a cute touch (they don’t make stuff that lasts like that anymore LoL).

Golf and Sun Lovers Up North Getaway
Wonderful host and fantastic condo. Comfortable, clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Very nice linens and towels. Location was perfect for us to access Nubs Nob and restaurants in Harbor Springs. Janine was exceptionally welcoming and responsive.

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
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.

Big Lake Cabin W Hot Tub/ Kayaks/PngPong/Cable/HBO
It was a great cabin with full of things provide to do to spend the days away from home. Enough to do for days we didnt have plans to enjoy some cards around the open fire or enjoy some time in the hot tub, or have a friendly game of corn hole

BunnyHill: Outdoor Heated Pool- Summer
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.

Private sandy beachfront on the West Bay in TC
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Angela’s property. So many beautiful plants and everything was so clean and well maintained outside. A real oasis. The room was very clean and the linens smelled so good. I am a germaphobe and I never felt uncomfortable staying there. It was near so many attractions while also being very private and peaceful —we spent every evening sitting on the beach just taking it all in. Can’t recommend enough!

Waterfront Cottage at Larks Lake
The mist clearing on the lake in the morning sun reveals the changing colors of trees in the Fall Season. At night, the constellations sparkle strongly and clearly in the dark sky. And the sounds of silence increase the sense of peace and wonder. This is what you can experience whether sitting around a lakeside fire or sitting in the front room of the cottage. And making a home cooked meal is a pleasure as well...the kitchen supports good cooking and the dining room table supports warm and interesting conversations. Thanks, Leanne

The Lily Pad
What a beautiful place to stay! Everything was exactly as stated, yet even better. Every year, as three couples, we find a place for a long weekend to catch up. We determined that we will be back though we usually try new places. While the weather could have been warmer, we still found plenty to do and there’s always sitting by the bonfire. Many places charge for wood, but this host supplies it for us, which is very generous. The button on the coffee maker broke and we offered to pay for a new one, but the host picked one up and dropped off the same day. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home, Craig! We appreciate your hospitality and we will be back!

Beachfront Oasis | Pool+Hot Tub
Jesse was a great host and we enjoyed staying at their place! We appreciated the private beach to play at and the pool was well maintained. There were plenty of food and entertainment options that Jesse recommended in their binder, and all were fantastic choices. The views were amazing from the living room/patio, and it felt very private. We couldn’t see any other guest and did not hear neighbors. It was very peaceful being on site and we could definitely see about renting the place again in the future! Jesse was a great host, communicated early and often, and made sure our stay was a pleasant one. Overall, great experience and thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home!

Lakefront Lodging - A Nature Lover's Delight!
"Cozy, peaceful getaway with beautiful views!" We loved our stay at this charming retro motel in Northport, Michigan! It had a cozy, nostalgic vibe with all the modern comforts—especially the super comfortable bed. The peaceful, quiet setting was perfect for a relaxing escape, and we were treated to beautiful views and our own private beach, which made it feel extra special. The owners were incredibly friendly and responsive, offering great local recommendations that helped us make the most of our time in this lovely small town. Mornings started right with yummy coffee and a breakfast bar, and evenings ended perfectly with beach bonfires under the stars. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene, small-town lakeside retreat!

Rare last-minute June Openings@Private Lake Home!
This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

Lake Huron Beachfront Home with Sauna
This home was a great place to get away with some friends and family. The house looked exactly like the pictures, and description. It had the most beautiful view of the lake, and the back deck was a glorious place to spend the afternoon. I loved that there were amenities provided like paper towel, toilet paper, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent, coffee, creamer, and even wood for the fire pit. I would love to come back again and spend an entire week later in the summer!

Your guide to Petoskey
All About Petoskey
Petoskey is a coastal community near the northern tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula that offers unrivaled views of Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay and well-preserved Victorian buildings. The small town concentrates its specialty shops, restaurants, and art galleries along the lakefront. Bayfront Park, on the shore of the bay, offers shade under the green trees, and a waterfall that makes a nice spot for a picnic.
Beautiful scenery and an abundance of multi-use trails draw birders, hikers, and mountain bikers to the area. Petoskey State Park has an excellent connecting trail system, and its Old Baldy and Portage Loop is a short and easy favorite with scenic views of the lake. Once the winter snows begin to fall, you can head to one of the three ski areas nearby for downhill skiing or snowboarding. Nordic skiing is also popular, and you’ll find numerous groomed trails for cross-country and snowshoeing in town and outside the city limits.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Petoskey
This part of northern Michigan sees dramatic shifts in weather conditions from season to season, with hot summers, colorful shoulder seasons, and frigid winters. From June to August, you’ll find mild weather, with a tinge of humidity, and clear sunny days, making it the best time to indulge in outdoor recreation or rent a boat to spend time on the lake. If you schedule your visit between July and August, you can take in the Petoskey Antique Show at the fairgrounds. The foliage on the trees takes on bright autumnal colors starting in late September, and you’ll want to have sweaters and warm coats with you. While the temperatures in November and December descend below the freezing point, Petoskey comes alive during this time with holiday programs. As winter progresses, the snow cover builds, and it won’t disperse until April or even early May.
Top things to do in Petoskey
Historic Gaslight District
The Historic Gaslight District features remodeled buildings transformed into shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. If you are looking for souvenirs of your Petoskey trip, several stores in this area offer crafty decorative items. You’ll also find a series of art galleries filled with paintings and photographs made by local artists. The streets are lined with the gaslights, which cast a warm glow on the restaurant patios in the warmer months.
Petoskey State Park
Miles of trails through stands of white pine thread through Petoskey State Park, which hugs the shores of Little Traverse Bay. During the warmer months, you can take relaxing swims in the Lake Michigan waters or hunt along the sandy beach for Charlevoix or Petoskey stones — fossilized prehistoric coral — to keep as souvenirs.
Bear River Valley Recreation Area
The Bear River flows north through the center of Petoskey into Lake Michigan, running in a narrow valley lined with lush green grasses and trees. Adrenaline seekers come to the Bear River Valley Recreational Area to raft or kayak down a whitewater stream that descends 75 feet in a series of turns and steep slopes. You can also bike or wander along the paved trail that follows the river’s twists and turns.
