Lakeview King Suite-Arbutus-Pontoon Rentals!
We enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day after we visited family in the area. We would stay here again! Thank you!!

Spacious Cottage,Hottub TraverseCity
We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

Magical Northern Michigan Cottage with Hot Tub
Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
We loved our stay at Anna’s cottage! It was the perfect peaceful sanctuary we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and elegantly outfitted. The location offers a very private vibe tucked away in the woods while being being in the center of the peninsula and convenient to get around. Anna was a super friendly and helpful host, making sure we had a positive experience every step of the way. We are psyched to return for another retreat at this amazing cottage in the woods!

River Life Paradise Cottage
It was beautiful place. We enjoyed the private backyard. It was nice and cozy. John was great host. We will be back next year.

Scenic Lakefront Near Ski/Golf with Hot Tub
This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

Lake front cottage in the heart of wine country
We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

I loved this Airbnb! It was a perfect size and was beautiful. Super close to town yet still felt like we had a quiet neighborhood to stay in as well. Our host was the sweetest and communicated so well with us. If I ever need to come back to lake city, I would love to stay here again!

Sleeping Bear Cottage #2
Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

Cozy Private Lakefront Cottage
We had a great stay at Ben's place! We had a slight issue with getting inside initially, but Ben responsed within a matter of minutes and took care of it promptly! The cottage and area was just as described and had everything that we needed. We spent our days visiting some of the nearby cities which were a short drive away such as Traverse City, Bellaire, and Charlevoix and enjoyed unwinding in the evenings by the dock area. We especially loved the Cherry Street Market in Kalkasa and enjoyed Moose and Stella's Cafe in town for breakfast. The neighborhood was very quiet, friendly and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much and Ben is a great host!

**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

Sportsman's Paradise
I wish I would have booked my stay for longer, and I had this place booked for two months. The privacy and views here and around, are unmatched and for the rates it is a no-brainer. There are trails within minutes and plenty of places to set off in a kayak or canoe. Lakes galore. Plenty of fun summer activities. The hosts were very kind and polite, and spoke to me like I was a person rather than a tenant for any amount of time. Best AirBnB experience I have ever had. Thank you guys. Hopefully I can make it back again sometime

HC’s Cottage- c. 1896 Renovated Cottage

Little Skip Cottage, on the Bay
Beautiful cottage with beautiful accommodations and furnishings! Carolyn was so kind and responsive! We look forward to our next stay!

Antlers (#2)
The cabin was perfect for me and my 2 teenage sons. Completely stocked, clean, had WIFI service, plenty of parking. The area was beautiful and quiet. My sons enjoyed the lake and all there was to do outdoors. We are already planning a trip for next summer. Host was very responsive, and friendly.

Leelanau Trailside Cottage
Charlie's place was perfect for three kids and three adults. We added an adult a month after making the reservation and Charlie was flexible and responsive. The location was perfect, a short drive from Sutton's Bay and Traverse City. The TART trail is immediately next to the trail and wineries are within a bike or short drive. The space was very comfortable, with every amenity we'd want and games for kids to enjoy.

Noble Cottage: Your Summer Retreat Awaits!
These fine folks have a very nice and welcoming home and it’s well taken care of. We had a ball and thank the team for the lovely stay.

*SweetWillowCottage* Boardman River w/kayaks
Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but close enough to the city and to the peninsula to enjoy that as well. Shannon was a wonderful host and was responsive to our needs. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we hope to come back and stay again for more fun along the river!

Walk to Higgins Lake, boat launch,beach access/AC
“THIS IS A COOL HOUSE”, we heard over and over again from our 3yo. There isn’t a detail missed between the shower essentials/readily available toiletries to the local recommendations to the books/indoor and outdoor games/kitchen necessities/water toys and wagon for the beach, grill, etc. The lot location is so peaceful and perfect for some R&R especially sitting out at the campfire, under the covered porch (ESPECIALLY while it’s raining) and even on the rockers on the front porch. PURE RELAXATION! The walk to the beach is enjoyable and a beautiful place to enjoy a sunset. Natalie was very responsive and proactive. The perfect kind of host actually! You are truly treated to a gem of a getaway with this place.

Vintage Cottage by the bay, downtown, bike trail
The cutest vintage cottage! Had everything we needed for a fun girls weekend in northern Michigan. Thank you Chelsea!

Higgins Lakefront Apres Beach Cottage
Anita was an amazing host! She responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s more beautiful in person. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, toaster, cookware, they thought of everything. Even had extra sunscreen the bathroom. The beach area was also very clean and well stocked, we enjoyed going out on the kayaks. It was the perfect setting to exhale and escape the world for a week on our own private beach. We will definitely be booking with Anita again!
