Lake house vacation rentals in Traverse City

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

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!

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.

This cabin was a beautiful place for us to spend time retreating by the lake. We enjoyed going on the lake in the kayaks taking in all the wildlife and fauna around it. It was nice being away from the distractions of TV and noise. The cabin was well equipped with all we needed to enjoy our stay.

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!

This was without a doubt a stunning property. From the beautiful creak and beach in the backyard, to each bedroom and entertainment spaces. The views were incredible, I still cannot comprehend how amazing it was to be on the water but so close to town and the wineries. There was so much to do, we wish we got to stay longer. Tristan was a very great host and was very flexible with our check in and responded very fast to any and all concerns. I will definitely be coming back, especially with some warmer weather to enjoy the beach and campfire.

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

We were here for 3 days and it was exactly what we’re looking for. This is a clean house that has 3 bedrooms - one with bunk beds suitable for children. This house was right on the Lake with 2 kayaks available for use and a bonfire pit in the back yard. It’s nestled in a quiet and quaint neighborhood. The living spaces were cozy with 2 couches with one space have a large tv. Thank you for providing us a lovely space for us while we visit Traverse City.

My family loved this cabin. It was one of our favorite AirBnBs. Beautiful backyard and hiking trails. Cool and funky decor. The front porch was nice to drink coffee on in the mornings. We took a peaceful canoe ride. Kitchen was supplied and everything was clearly labeled. Thank you for the stay.

We stayed for a weekend with family and our fur babies and had an amazing time. Courtney let us check in earlier which was nice of her and we got to enjoy the water. The water was just as described crystal clear. House was super clean and cozy. We will definitely stay again next year.

Another wonderful stay with our family in this property and it's turning into a tradition! Great house, location and host. Clean inside and out, very organized and easy to feel at home. Can't say enough good things about this property. From the grandparents to the young children, everyone loved it!

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.

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!

Beautiful place, that’s surprisingly private. Very peaceful.

We had a wonderful stay. This house was well equipped in the kitchen, baths and bedrooms with quality, newer, matching pans/utensils, towels and bedding. Plenty of paper products as well. Lots of space for 7 adults, including a very comfortable living room (2nd on lower level) and beautiful deck with plenty of seating and even a Solo wood stove!

A clean, cozy, well decorated space that had everything we needed and then some. Peaceful area, close to lake. We really felt at home and enjoyed ourselves. Chip makes everything clear and easy. Great host.

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!

Fred and Jacqui’s place was perfect. The pictures really don’t show how beautiful and spacious the place is. It’s close to downtown, but also private with plenty of outdoor activities, with equipment all provided for. They were extremely responsive to all questions and reminded us of various things we could while staying. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

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!

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.

Really cute place, spacious and really near to everything.

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

Bobby & Janet were highly responsive hosts! Great communication and easy check in/out. Place is exactly as described. The two queen room has an en suite with shower over tub. The hall bath only has a tub with hand sprayer. The outdoor spaces were absolutely lovely. With 6 adults, it was nice to have space to spread out outdoors. We enjoyed the fire pit, grill, patio sitting area and hot tub. The view was so pretty and relaxing! We were a quick drive to many restaurants, breweries and wineries. 10 min to boating on Lake Charlevoix or to Petoskey and a quick shot to Boyne City for kayaking and more exploring. Highly recommend!

Jennifer's house has a beautiful location on Bass Lake, and we took full advantage of the kayaks and canoe, and the dock for reading/relaxing. It's spacious and well organized, and close to Traverse City. Very clean, very quiet neighborhood. It made a great central location for exploring the sites (and we much appreciated the well-stocked s'mores welcome basket). We would certainly come back when in the area!
