Cottage vacation rentals in Platte River

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

I went to Michigan to compete in the Ironman 70.3 in Frankfort and this place was perfect! It has plenty of beds/ sofa options and was big enough to host a family pasta dinner! Great location right in town in Beulah we could walk to restaurants and shops! And it ended up being only 15 minutes from the race which was great! Grocery stores were an easy 5 minute drive as well.

Cozy newly refinished right on the lake! Cute thoughtful touches. Luke is a great host. FYI there are about 10 cement steepish stairs down to the front door. The view was perfect.

beautiful cabin pleasant neighborhood easy check-in and check out. great host love the hot tub definitely a plus. will definitely rent from them again great people

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.

Always our favorite stay! Robert’s place is just as he describes. Clean. Close to everything. Very responsive. Perfect for our family or 4!

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

Booked Holly's place for a week to fish Lake MI - even though we were 35 minutes from the launch, we really liked the location and solitude. We loved this place and space - and the price was great. This is a wonderful place for anyone seeking peace and quiet and worked very well with us - thank you Holly!!!

**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

very beautiful and peaceful place. the view of the lake. I wish it would of been a better weather weekend. would really love to take my dog swimming. very dog friendly place. would stay again. thank you again for an awesome weekend

My husband and I had a wonderful time relaxing at this lake house. It had everything needed for us to kick back, relax, and unplug. Our host was very responsive with every contact that we made! The only thing I would add to the house description is that there are a few pretty tall steps in the house, so someone with bad knees might want to consider that. Great place and well with the money!

Great spot, exactly what we needed! It’s small and cozy, in a quiet area 10-15 minutes drive from anything you need. Smooth check in, clean spot, had whatever amenities you could think of. One thing: If you are taller than me (6’4) you may have some trouble with the bathroom. I made it work but were I an inch taller I wouldn’t have been able to fit for certain activities 😂

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

Elise was a wonderful host! We have loved visiting Frankfort every year, and usually camp nearby. This year, at 34wks pregnant, their home was the comfortable space needed for a quick weekend getaway. The home was located so perfectly in Frankfort, and was a short drive from Sleeping Bear Dunes. We could enjoy walks downtown and by Lake Michigan, but we’re never too far from the coziness of the home. The home was clean, well taken care of, and so cozy to stay in.

everything was great...beautiful lake with nice dock, has boat, kayaks and a dock that we waded out to..water was clear and could wade out barefoot..will stay again when opportunity arises.

If you're looking for a peaceful escape with all the comforts of home, this cute little cottage is absolute perfection. Tucked away in a quiet rural setting, it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome and at ease. Everything about it is homey—from the cute nautical theme to the thoughtfully stocked kitchen. The large deck is perfect for a cup of coffee with birds serenading, views of wildlife, and fresh air. The fire pit is perfect for roasting marshmallows, stargazing ( northern lights), or just relaxing with a glass of wine and good conversation Highly recommended for a restful, charming getaway.

We were warmly greeted by Mark as we arrived. The cabin was immaculate, fully-stocked with all needed amenities, and very comfortable beds and living room and porch furniture. The lake view and surrounding area are so peaceful and picturesque. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and enjoying eating and reading on the porch. A perfect place to enjoy family and the beauty of Northern Michigan!

We had a great stay (just my wife and I) plus our old dog Polly. The place was perfect. Very quiet surroundings, wonderful peaceful atmostphere inside and the best place to hang out in the evening and mornings was the outdoor covered deck. This place had everything we were looking for and more. I highly recommend it. We only used on of the three bedrooms that were available but regardless of the number of people staying it share a large open living space that was just what we needed for our gathering purposes. Thank you Terry for sharing your place with us! ~Tom/Ana/Polly

We had a wonderful stay. I grew up on Big Platte Lake, so it was wonderful to share the memories, scenery, and great food with girlfriend. Thank you so much to our hosts, Javier and Virginia.

What a beautiful little lakefront cottage! We came to Higgins Lake for cross country skiing at CX Skiing Headquarters, 5 minutes from this cottage. Anita was very responsive and left little extras like wine and chocolates. We truly felt at home and the lake views were so beautiful. Thank you!

Mary is an amazing hostess whom is very kind, responsive, and drama-free. This house has AMAZING energy, an en-suite downstairs and another upstairs, while there is a kitchen/living room, deck, 100% private grounds, etc. The beautiful lake is literally just feet away, and this location has tons of shops, restaurants, fuel stations, etc., within walking distance, as well as very short driving distance. I highly recommend this home.
