Up North Retreat | Castle Farms-Lake Chx-Ski Boyne
This home was a perfect place for a women's mini retreat weekend. It was a very comfortable space for 6 ladies. A suggestion would be a little heater in the main floor master bath for colder months would be helpful. It is quite chilly in there. We hope to stay again sometime.

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed
This was an incredible experience. Brenden helped me out when I was in a panic about where to stay after a previous reservation had fallen through. Very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and house was clean. Garage was spacious and rooms were perfect for guests we had. The only bummer was the rain all weekend to not enjoy the outdoors/lake but the company was good! Would highly recommend not only this property but Brenden as a host!

Whole house downtown, with kid and adult bikes
Very cute stay! Very clean, somewhat sparse kitchen amenities, but enough for us to prep and cook a meal. The ductless AC/hearing units were tricky to figure out. Most importantly, both bathrooms are on the main floor, which is not clear from the listing. This meant my friend who cannot do stairs without assistance slept on the couch downstairs so she didn’t have to wake us up if when she needed the restroom. Overall a very nice place, but wish a couple things had been more clear.

Downtown home! Location, location!
Lee’s place is awesome location if you’re looking to stay in northern Michigan. Lots to do within walking distance to Traverse City but also very centrally located to other towns and things you’ll want to do/see in the area. Highly recommend!

4 Bed, 2 Bath, Hot Tub, Near Downtown.
Peter was a great host. Very easy to get in touch with if you have any questions. The house was in great condition and only a few minutes away from downtown.

Betsie river bear den guest house. newly remodeled
We enjoyed so much about this space - it was cozy, nestled in the woods with a very short trail to the nearby river, pup friendly, and seven minute from Crystal Mountain (which is why we were in the area). We used the kitchen every day, hot water did not disappoint after a cold day outside and the cute little fireplace was a nice touch as we wrapped in blankets and watched movies in the evenings. I recommend it!

Namaste Island Cottage
2nd time staying here and both times have been amazing. Always a super clean air bnb, Taylor is quick to respond to messages and so nice. Absolutely love staying here. The downstairs bathroom was upgraded since our first stay, and looks awesome!

In the heart of town! Walk to everything!
This house was perfect for four adults and two kids. 4 person family ended up staying in the basement using the two twins and the futon bed and it gave them their own space and then upstairs, 2 additional adults each had our own double bed and shared a bathroom. the kids love that there were some little kid sized Puzzles in the basement and they found a whole basket of toys to play with.👍🏼 we easily walked to dinner and to the beach playground. And to church! Would definitely rent again if coming back to the Elk Rapids area.

Cozy Cottage in Leelanau County
We had a great stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location close to breweries and wineries. It was a great spot for a weekend with friends, and our two dogs were happy too! Would definitely stay again.

Provemont Cottage | Downtown Lake Leelanau
The cottage was perfectly appointed- the bedrooms were the perfect size and setup, the bathroom was super nice and clean, the kitchen had all the right utensils- everything worked just right! In Lake Leelenau downtown is a one minute walk from the cottage. Everything else is a short drive - the lake, Leland, Traverse and other local destinations. We are already looking forward to our next stay!

Trendy Home 1 Mile From Downtown Petoskey
We absolutely love staying here! The space is comfortable, cozy, and has all the amenities of home. The location is great - only 10–15 minutes from ski hills (or golf in the summer) while also being conveniently located to downtown Petoskey restaurants and shopping. The fenced in backyard is a huge plus for us and our pups. We try to stay here whenever we are able to for our Up North trips!

Warm and Welcoming
Mary is a great and kind host. She made ourselves like feeling at home. Homemade muffins were greatly appreciated. She also made us an extra gifts by proving some extra toys for our toddler. She was also flexible with check in and check out. Very nice decorated home!!

Lincoln Lodge: Secluded~Wineries~Dog Friendly
We had a nice time staying for a long weekend! Even in April, the views of the surrounding woods through the large windows was great.

Gorgeous Getaway! 2 Queens/2 Fold-up twins.
Terry and her ckeanung crewndo an amazing jib, the home is always spotless. They are very responsive to any communication. The beds are comfy and you may gain a few pounds because of all the treats.

Havens House-Spring discounts!
All the amenities you could want--kitchen had everything you would need. Lots of family games, toys and books for children. Every room was cozy and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend Melissa as a hostess!

Homestead Cottage Crystal Mountain $reduced-March
We visited Beulah, Onekama, Kaleva, Lake Ann, Suttons Bay & Frankfort. We weren’t more than 1 hour from any of our destinations. It was nice that growlers were available but we brought our own! We didn’t use the washer & dryer but if we had needed, nice to know it was available. We didn’t cook. Only used microwave to warm up leftovers. St. Ambrose is one of our favorite places to visit & Homestead Cottage is just minutes away! When we visit MI again we’ll certainly see if Homestead Cottage is available.

Petoskey’s “Peeks of the Bay”
Very nice place in a premier location! Sandy was very nice and very responsive!

Charming home in East Jordan - 15 min to Boyne Mtn
What a beautiful historic home. Plenty of room for me and my 5 friends. One room doesn’t have a door, and one is a walk-through room. This didn’t bother us, but is something to consider if you are with a noisier crew or might have snorers. The house was very clean and had everything you might need to cook and clean up which was a great bonus. Took us about 20 minutes to drive to Boyne Mountain so it was super close and very affordable for all of the space you get. We couldn’t figure out the lock code but Elizabeth responded within a minute to help.

Jewel of the Pigeon
Heather's place is perfectly private while still being convenient to area attractions. We loved our time there!

Grayling - Adventure Awaits
Very quiet neighborhood, close to Hansen Hills for skiing, close enough to town to make access to restaurants and shops easy. Comfortable space, nice to have decent knives, pots and pans. Very roomy!

Northern Michigan Getaway (Petoskey/ Harbor)
Jason, was very flexible on the check-in which was very helpful as we were meeting other family here and the weather was not great. The home was roomy, cozy and comfortable. The kids very much enjoyed the air hockey and foozball tables! Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay!

Traverse City Therapy- HotTub/PoolTable/FirePit/AC
We had a wonderful getaway to Traverse City. The house was well kept, in a great location and we loved the amenities. There was lots of room for our families to be together to celebrate birthdays and catch up. The host Kelsey, was very proactive and responsive. We will definitely be back!

The Ladybird Cottage
We could not have asked for a better location and accommodations for 4 adults and 2 children on our first family vacation. The house is located just off the road on a peaceful and quiet very large lot. The bedding was so comfortable making for very restful nights. We had easy access to multiple beaches, restaurants playgrounds and wineries. When we chose to buy local fish and cook at home we found the kitchen well apportioned and stocked. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this little piece of heaven in Leland. PS: we enjoyed our daily visit with her chickens and she was generous to share the most delicious eggs. We were spoiled by everything this place has to offer.

15 Min to Flintfields 2BR w/ Hot Tub
Everything was exactly as described, easy to find with clear instructions to get in, and perfectly dog friendly! Flat sheets were even provided to cover the furniture for our pup so all of us felt right at home. The fenced in backyard and where the hot tub was placed were the best part for us. Our dog was able to zoom around while we relaxed in the hot tub. The motion sensored lights allowed us to always see where she was and we felt safe knowing the property was securely fenced in for her to enjoy. We will definitely be back. Thank you Amanda!
