Lakefront Ranch Getaway: Private Beach on West Bay

JosephRating, 5 stars3 days ago
The house was just as described. The hosts were very responsive to messages. The kitchen had what we needed to cook meals. There was lots of extra,unexpected, things that were great. The makeup remover pads, all of the soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, even detergent were all provided. Plus there was plenty of hot water for 5 adults to shower. Our pups loved the fenced yard. The view is exactly like the pictures show. We would definitely recommend! Heather & Joe

Dream Vacay: Clam Lake Cottage w Torch Lake Access

MissyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

Dune Hideaway: On Glen Lake with Pontoon Rental

JeffRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We had a lovely, relaxing 5 days at this camp. It is simple but appears to be recently renovated. It’s not high end (the kitchen chairs are cheap plastic) but it’s clean, comfortable, and tasteful. It’s nestled on the lake with a gorgeous view. Sadly, the renovation did not include a dishwasher. Bayshore does a great job stocking the place - there are plenty of replacement supplies, including coffee. Two Bayshore annoyances: I requested a rubber spatula/flipper so the non stick pans didn’t get further damaged. Their response: I could purchase one myself. Also, you have to drag the trash can 200 yards up the driveway on Tuesday nights or “there may be an additional fee.” Still, I would stay there again.

East Bay Paradise 9/23-9/30 open Dogs welcome!

RebeccaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Carrie was an amazing host from booking the reservation to making sure check out was a breeze. She was so accommodating and friendly, I felt like I was talking with a friend. The home itself is beyond describable. Every room was immaculate and the backyard views will be something we never forget. Our 2 dogs enjoyed the big, private beach and water! I’m so happy we decided to spend our last vacation as a family of 3 here! We are already planning our next visit with Carrie when the baby arrives. I can’t say enough good things about this place!!!! We highly recommend this home!

Lake Michigan Beachfront Retreat

PatriciaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Kari's home on Lake Michigan was wonderful in every way. The property surrounding the house is beautifully landscaped with lovely plants, flowers and tall trees. Much attention to detail was apparent throughout the home. The gorgeous art, accessories, and decor were impeccable. It was apparent that in the decor she kept the historical integrity of a house built in the 1970's while adding a modern & elegant touch. Kari was completely responsive to all questions and concerns. The kitchen, house and garage were stocked with anything you could possibly need or want on a family vacation. The view, the beach, the surroundings couldn't have been more perfect. We would love to have the opportunity to enjoy this home again in the future.

NW Michigan house w/ lake & woods

BethRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We rented this for a winter getaway. The home was lovely and our family of 8 had a wonderful time. Playing ping-pong and other games, enjoying the fire place and having plenty of space to cook and enjoy meals together were some of our favorite inside activities. Being so close to trails meant we found lots of opportunities to be outside, too. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Against the Wind Vacation Rental

JoannaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Easily one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve been to. Jim was very responsive and kept us informed, and his assistant Jenny was there at check in to show us a tour of the house. The attention to details was amazing, and we felt like it was a home away from home. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the Traverse City area.

Private Dock, Huge Yard, Fire Pit + Pet-friendly

BryanRating, 5 stars8 months ago
The place was a perfect stay for our day of golf at Arcadia. Hosts were great and responded quickly with anything we need. Including checking on things we potentially left behind. They could not have been more spot on referring us to Grille 44 for drinks and dinner, walkable if you’re up for it. 10/10 would stay here again!

The Cherry Pit on Long Lake

MarthaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I can’t recommend the Cherry Pit enough - the home is beautiful, the view is great, and the private pier is so nice to have! My kids went kayaking and swimming in the lake (even though it was chilly!) - so nice to have this option. The hosts are fantastic and provided so many extras like Keurig pods, laundry soap, etc. I loved this place, thank you for hosting us!

Pet Friendly 3/2 Lakeside Retreat in Traverse City

PhilipRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
It was a lovely place with lots of activities to participate in outdoors. We use the dock and the kayaks and the lake itself was easy to navigate. Lots of wildlife to see. Close enough to town to feel like it was easy to get there, but far enough away to feel Relaxed. We brought our dogs with us and they fit right into the situation and did very well.

This was our second time staying at this property and we love it even more than the first time. Such a beautiful location right on the water, plenty of space, clean and walkable to downtown so we hardly used our car. Our kids loved the third floor bunk room. A great extra space. We look forward to future trips at the Innisfree Cottage!

The Bass Lake Lodge

HeatherRating, 5 stars13 months ago
Our stay was exactly what we needed. The property was beautiful and comfortable. There were many things to do on the lake and amenities to use. I had to drag my husband away since he didn't want to leave. Jennifer was an impeccable hostess and not only takes great care of the property but went above and beyond to make our stay carefree. I loved the information given on surround business and personal touches to make us feel welcomed. Thank you. Just a warning the fish in this lake love to tease and are experts at getting a free breakfast from your lines!
