Lake house vacation rentals in The Great Lakes

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful first getaway at Sarah’s place. The property was peaceful, private, and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We had a great time visiting Na-Tah-Ka, exploring Ludington, the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and more — but some of our favorite moments were just spent enjoying the quiet beauty of the property itself. We’ll definitely be back to soak in the tranquility and natural surroundings again. Sarah was a kind and responsive host, and her place is absolutely worth the stay. 🌲

Our stay at High Banks Haven was very relaxing with privacy and lots of amenities. The wood burning hot tub was such a treat, we were in it multiple times a day. Once you get it to temp. it’s amazing how well it holds temperature the next morning! A quick walk down a set of stairs to the beach, it’s very rocky but that’s what we were looking for. The master bedroom was cozy and had a comfortable firm mattress. Everything was clean and tidy. Kelly was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. We had a wonderful stay and will rave about this place to everyone we know!

This place was perfect for our family of 5. Secluded property with a view of the lake. The igloo was perfect for early morning coffee and card games in the evening. Host were great to deal with as well.

We loved this place! The view was fantastic, and watching the sunset from the beach was just so lovely. Would highly recommend this home, and the hosts were great communicators. Check in and check out so easy; instructions for hot tub very clear. There’s a binder with local attractions and a list of restaurants nearby, we found this so helpful. Everyone in my group was so happy with this place, everything worked perfectly and very well maintained. Also very clean!

Hands down one of our favorite air bnb’s so far! We loved the pathway to the beach, felt like we were in Florida! Tracy gave us some really awesome recommendations to check out during our stay and on our way home we stopped at the dinosaur gardens about 20 mins away from the cottage and we were pleasantly surprise by the natures beauty there! Our 3 year old dinosaur loving boy said “wow” and “cool” about 100 times. The local restaurants near by have some amazing meals. We got the fish tacos at The Mountain (YUM) and the sweet potato’s fries are delicious at Brew Haus! The sense of style inside the cottage was so cute and inspiring. Really happy with our stay there :)

Has a real “Wow”factor as soon as you walk in the door. The upper bedroom area is amazing. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The back deck and yard, the view….Wow again. Along with the usual suspects we regularly saw Bald eagles, Osprey, Egrets and a Pelican. The surrounding area is beautiful. I highly recommend Red Door Retreat. Despite how wonderful it shows in the photos. It exceeded our expectations. Would not hesitate to return.

The Rockhouse was a great place to stay. Our family enjoyed our stay there and would recommend to anyone looking for that area. The entrance over the Koi pond was beautiful, bedrooms were very comfortable, kitchen is large with fantastic living room. Nice place

We loved everything about it! Fran was a wonderful host!! Very very happy and would love to stay again!

We had a great time staying at this location in Eagle Harbor. The exceptional views of Lake Superior, the sauna, and bonfire pit were amazing. The living room was also very peaceful to relax in and see views of the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed, we baked fresh white fish and trout that we picked up from Peterson's Fish Market on the way in. We also enjoyed plenty of hiking and mountain biking in Copper Harbor. The directions and hosts responsiveness were prompt and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect lakeside getaway! This lakehouse exceeded all our expectations! The property was immaculate and beautifully maintained - you can tell the owners take great pride in their home. Communication was seamless from booking through checkout, and they were incredibly responsive to any questions we had. The hot tub was amazing, we spent hours relaxing in it while taking in the stunning lake views. Having the beach just steps from the backyard was a game-changer for our family. The house had everything we needed and more. The location offers the perfect blend of relaxation and fun activities.

This was absolute relaxation heaven! Quiet, clean and right on the lake. We loved the sunsets, the morning coffee on the deck, and s’mores at the fire table. The beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed and more!

The home was perfect for a multigenerational family vacation. The setting was absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was very functional. There was space and supplies for the toddler as well as the dogs. We enjoyed our stay.

We had an amazing time staying here for our joint Bachelor/Bachelorette weekend! It is a beautiful property that comfortably fit all 13 of us! We miss it already! It was a great time :)

Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

What a beautiful cabin! Sometimes the pictures look nice and you get there and it is not like that, NOT HERE! So wonderful and very clean! I give this a 20 out of ten. The host is very nice and Accommodating. I would definitely stay here again, to be honest I didn’t want to leave because it was so peaceful and comfortable there.

Perfect for a getaway! Beautiful surroundings and amazing location! Super close to traverse city, very cozy!

Such an incredible stay at Chelsea's place! It's even more beautiful than the pictures. Amazing home, beautiful surroundings… Overall a wonderful stay. Will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay! The place is absolutely beautiful—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and feel comfortable, and the home had everything we needed throughout our stay. From the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces, everything was well-maintained and made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend and hope to return again!

Very modern space with all the amenities in quiet, natural surroundings. The home was in an area of upper Michigan that is in less-travelled with a quaint small town with good restaurants and small grocery store. All the more-travelled areas are in easy driving distance. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely consider going back!

Amanda's cottage was great for a relaxing getaway. The highlights of my stay were: - a beautiful lake view from the dining area, living room and upper deck with full sun until late evening - receiving great suggestions for local food and day trips - great response from Amanda and team - a day trip to Creemore - just a half hour's drive away - a beautiful kitchen for cooking - the decor and design books throughout the cottage - the extras provided

We had such a great stay! The yard and beach were spectacular! We paddled and watched the sunset and walked on the beach. We played yard games and board games, soaked in the hot tub and grilled out. Our hosts were so kind and welcoming and gave us great local tips. They went out of their way to help us. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed with lots of nice little touches to make us comfortable. This is the place you want to stay, don't look any further. We hope to come back again sometime.

We absolutely loved staying at the CDL for a long weekend. The board game room had so many options to choose from—we really enjoyed spending time in there, checking out new games and a few staples. Everything was immaculate when we stepped in, so tastefully decorated and oh so clean. Rex and Lynnette are top notch hosts and were available when we had questions or needed a refill of coffee beans. Such kind people! We stayed at the Yellow Door Lodge last year and loved it just as much. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our mothers day weekend at your place. Very peaceful and relaxing.

A group of girlfriends and I stayed at Andrea’s place for a long weekend and it’s was nothing short of magical. The sunsets, rose on the patio, the beach. We even went into town Saturday night and had the best time! Andrea was kind and responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Will 100% be returning to this slice of paradise!
