Beachfront Cottage stocked wifi kayaks firepit pet

AmandaRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Hands down the best host I have experienced. The place was stunning, exactly as described. Above and beyond thought from Hanan to make this a great stay including additional bedding, firewood was provided, extra toothbrushes, kayaks were pulled out & ready for us, etc. This place is amazing and we could not have been happier. Host is super responsive and extremely down to earth, engages easily and feels like a friend to you. We will be returning asap! Wonderful experience!

The Lake House: Peaceful Waterfront Summer Retreat

MandyRating, 5 stars6 months ago

We enjoyed our stay. We were thankful for the extra special touches (sparkling juice for our anniversary) and helpful supplies (first aid kit, coffee, creamer, snacks, fans, extra blankets, etc.). Things were clean and well taken care of. Thank you!

Owl & Anchor Cottage Inn - Lake Front Retreat!

StacyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We stayed at this charming cottage for a weekend with our family of 11, ranging from 17 to 74 years old. It was the perfect place for all of us to come together and enjoy quality time in a peaceful setting. The booking process was quick and easy, and check-in was seamless. From the moment we arrived, we felt immediately welcomed by the host, who had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The cottage was incredibly neat and tidy. I personally loved that there were limited televisions, which meant we spent more time playing family games and bonding. The cottage was very well-stocked with all the essentials, and we never felt like we were missing anything. Situated in a peaceful and beautiful area, the cottage offered a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding. Although it rained the entire weekend, it didn’t dampen the fun—there was still plenty to enjoy indoors, and the scenery was stunning, even from the comfort of the cottage.

LAKEFRONT 3-bedroom getaway on private road

KimRating, 5 stars6 months ago

The place and property are beautiful, serene, and very clean. The area/homes leading up to the property had us confused for a moment, but once we arrived at the property, we were quite pleased. It was amazing walking into the home and seeing the view over looking the water. DeAnna’s place is neat and well put together with the amenities we needed. A great stay for a girl’s weekend!

A peaceful lakefront property is viewed from the water, surrounded by lush greenery, and features a charming cabin with a gentle slope leading to the shore. A dock is visible on the right, alongside kayaks resting near the water's edge.

Pet Friendly lake front property

JeffreyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Rachel’s house was comfortable from the start. Everyone including the pets found the house to be fun. The children loved the ability to fish right from the pier and to get out on the water with the 3 waterboard choices. The fire pit was nicely located being right outside the back door instead of down by the water. We found the Harrison location to fun as well. We will be back to Rachel’s house and Harrison.

Live Laugh Lake House

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviews2 months ago

The cabin is larger than it looks in the pictures. The fenced in backyard is large enough to spend time outdoors comfortably. We had 2 dogs and they were so happy in the yard, lots of room to play. Marissa had furniture covers already in place so I didn't have to worry about the dogs getting on the furniture. Beds are so comfortable we slept in every day. Switches are clearly marked so you know exactly what you are turning on. Overall it is so comfortable and relaxing to be there.

Cheerful Silver Lake Cottage with Bunk House

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 43 reviews5 months ago

Second year we have stayed here and its perfect for us during the hunting season. This place offers the comforts of home. We stayed four nights this year and the location is great for venturing over to evart where they have antiques and a restaurant in an old hotel. Lake george has the swiss inn for lunch or dollar general for browsing. Venture the country roads around clare and you will see horse and buggies. The best nights rest is at coles place though. The house rules are simple snd checking out is easy. The kitchen area is big and plenty of room for more than one cook. We would recommend this place to everyone except for the time when i would like to stay here

The cabin was exactly as described. All the amenities made it feel like home. I would stay again. Hosts were very responsive to any questions. Would recommend for a small family or someone working in the area. Only drawback was the geese,ducks and turkeys next door that were a little loud.

I stayed at Mariann's lake house for a month while working remotely. It was gorgeous. The lake is beautiful and remote. Mariann is an excellent host and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay, which was already provided in the house. I'd recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back!

Robert was nice and quick to respond. His cabin was super easy to find. It is super cute, cozy, quiet and relaxing there. It really was the perfect location for a quiet get away from my busy life.

We were given great instructions on how to find the home, and how to get in. It was perfect in every way and we had a terrific time enjoying the home, Little Bertha Lake views, and a campfire one evening. It was very peaceful; we would definitely love to return at some time in the future. Thank you for sharing, Rick!

Hidden escape

Cody MichaelRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The home was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We only stay one night and wished our stay was longer. Definitely if we get the chance would stay at this Airbnb again!

The exterior of a waterfront property is portrayed against a clear blue sky. A smooth lake reflects the building, which features a blue roof and large windows. Trees line the path leading to the water, creating a serene environment.

Lake City Landings Unit 1

GinnyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Lovely place RIGHT on the lake. My husband and I went for a date weekend of ice fishing and relaxation. Yes-it was a perfect spot to walk out and fish despite the quantities of snow! Restaurants all right there in walking distance- hours are different than what is on menus or online so be aware. Very clean and cozy place that was spacious and warm. We will definitely keep it on our list for the future!

A spacious balcony features a wooden deck and a white railing, with two dark chairs and a small table positioned for outdoor relaxation. Lush trees provide a natural backdrop, while a glimpse of the water can be seen in the distance.

Grem's Gems Cottage Apartment

MelissaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

An absolutely beautiful space and amazing hosts. I had the perfect stay with Monica and Gary, they were so friendly and helpful. The apartment is the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in by far, the view from the balcony is beautiful and the lake access is beautiful with a large sandy beach. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit lake city. Also, very comfy beds and a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time. I stayed to celebrate my 50th birthday and the arcade game was the nostalgia I needed. Very spacious. It was just my husband and dogs but it would be great for a family adventure. Very clean. Nice neighborhood. Quite and peaceful. Beautiful surroundings. The lake is walking distance. It's a great value for sure.

LaurenRating, 5 stars6 months ago

If you are looking for a luxury hotel feel, this is not the place. but if you are looking for a quiet, serene, and cozy getaway, this IS the spot! The lake is absolutely gorgeous. The community is clean, friendly, and quiet. The cabin has a quaint and cozy 70's vibe. We loved using the kayaks!! It was an easy trip across the lake. Due to the season, there were not a ton of things to do around. But we went hiking at beautiful Deerfield Nature Park and checked out some delicious eateries during our stay. It was the peaceful trip we were hoping for. During the summer months, our kids would love the little beach, paddle boats, and pier access to shallow water. So nice!
