Waterfront vacation rentals in Grand Traverse County

The area is in downtown traverse city close to shops breweries and a restaurant in the building, right along boardman river, the building is a very clean and lively place filled with art

This was a really nice, clean place with great views. The host and building manager were extremely thorough with how to locate the building and get in and were very responsive. The location was perfect, right by quite a few restaurants. 5 minute walk and you are right smack in the heart of downtown.

This was a perfect place to stay for a few days while in the area for a conference. The place was clean and comfortable. The beach access was a nice added bonus.

My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Linda’s place was extremely clean, nice and cozy. Her place was just as described and she added all the amenities I needed for my stay. I liked that she was personable and paid attention to detail. I highly recommend.

Right on Main Street, just a couple minute walk to the heart of downtown Leland. The perfect home base for relaxing in between beach walks, swimming, shopping, and eating. The attic was larger than pictures showed! There was pretty much everything you’d need to feel comfortable. Nicolle was very inviting and easy to communicate with. Hopefully we’ll be back again!

Great spot close to great breweries and restaurants. Easy check in and parking. Loved the balcony in the evenings.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

The house was as described. Beautiful fenced in back yard for dogs to run around. Beautiful view of sunrise over tge water. Nice private beach with dock. Very open layout. We were there with 5 adults and three dogs. When we come back to Traverse City this would be the place I'd stat.

The lake house was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. Plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of blankets and pillows. The lake was beautiful and the kayaks were really nice to have. Would definitely recommend.

This place was absolutely beautiful! Perfect view of the water. The house was very cozy and spacious, it was perfect for our girls trip!!

Great house; excellent location, newly renovated inside, well appointed with everything we needed.

This place was great!! Long Lake is beautiful, clean, and warm. We had a ton of fun swimming and using the kayaks and paddleboards provided. Life jackets available to use as well. It's a super close drive to Traverse City, and not terribly far from sleeping Bear Dunes, making it a really great location. The full sizeds were comfortable enough, but a little tight. The bedrooms were roomy. There is only one air conditioning unit in the main living space, not in the bedrooms. But we were provided with multiple fans which helped. The road is busy, which is ok, but made opening the window at night for cool air isn't really an option with car noise. The kitchen was fantastic. All the needed utensils and cookware and huge bonus of providing Tupperware to store leftovers which was a great added touch. Hosts were also very responsive and flexible with check in, which was very appreciated. Overall, had a fantastic time exploring the area and so nice having a homey and beautiful place to stay!

Such a cute little cottage and perfect for our girls getaway. We will consider coming back in the future. It’s pretty unassuming when you drive up, but the inside of the house is so cute. We also couldn’t figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace, but that wasn’t a huge deal! Definitely recommend.

Great little spot with beautiful surroundings. Easy entry, clean and pet friendly. Great communication from the host.

Enjoyed our stay tried ice fishing it had everything we needed very comfortable

Wow!! The place is stunning and safe. It's quiet. Wonderful, responsive hosts. The walking path right in front was awesome. The view is gorgeous. I could rave all day about our experience!

Beautiful condo! Walkable distance to a lot of restaurants, shops, and the water. Host was very accommodating, responsive, and helpful.

Much needed weekend getaway from the city, Barry’s place was great top floor secluded in the corner with a beautiful view of the bay, lucked out with some great sunsets my last 2 nights there. Would definitely stay again!

I loved staying at this Airbnb! The private beach entry was amazing. The place itself was very cozy and peaceful. Dandan was extremely responsive and easy to work with! I definitely would come back again.

Holly was so helpful and accommodating. We were in town for a conference, her place was right next door, easy drive or walkable if interested. It was so nice to have the living space and kitchen, that always beats a hotel stay!

Everything was super clean, nice, and pleasantly peaceful ❤️ Absolutely loved the views and beach access! I highly recommend this great stay, honestly 5/5 stars in every aspect 🌟 I will definitely hope to stay again in the future!

Cannot say enough great things about this space and Michael! Amazing space. Fell in love with TC! Will be back....and definitely stay here!

We stayed here for the Iceman bike race. It was a great location for our needs. Mike was proactive and gave us all instructions needed for check-in well in advance. Place was as described and had everything we needed. Would recommend!
