Vacation rentals with a kayak in Jackson County

Mark, was attentive in every way! His house was beautiful, well appointed, and decorated in a cozy fall theme. The gardens and yard art were lovely. The lake was so peaceful to sit by. We all enjoyed ourselves very much. It was a great place to relax.

Our stay was everything we could've hoped for and more for a relaxing time away. This home was very clean and well cared for. Having the lake literally in the back yard for our personal use anytime we wanted was the icing on the cake. The views from both the open downstairs and master bedroom were very peaceful and serene. We enjoyed a couple mornings watching the cranes have their breakfast off the docks. Just too many good things to be able to note them all. Both Erica and James were very helpful and responsive before our trip and several times throughout our stay. You can tell they love their lake home and take pride in sharing it with others.

The house was beautiful and comfortable. The gorgeous views of the water from the yard and inside. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable beds. House had all the little details that made it perfect for a girls weekend getaway. Jennifer was prompt and easy to communicate with

Megan and Rob were exceptional hosts. We rented their cottage to host our family Thanksgiving, and Megan had even gone the extra mile by decorating the house for us. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The kitchen and dining room were equipped with everything one would need to comfortably stay there for a weekend, let alone host a dinner for a family of 15.

What a great find! Comfortable house on a lake (Wamplers) just 45 minutes from home in Ann Arbor! Easily accommodated 4 grandkids (10,8,5,3) and my son and I. "Bunk room" was perfect for the 3 older siblings. We loved the upstairs double showers. Very well supplied kitchen and very ample supply of towels. The game/toy cupboard was a big hit. The house felt safe for kids to be at ease, while also having them be respectful of the property. We happily used the grill for a dinner. Though the temperature was on the cool side for summer, the kids still spent plenty of time at the beach. We took the Dairy Bar suggestion seriously and had ice cream every night!! We're so happy that Layne accommodated our family. We were grateful to be able to check in early. A great place for an end of summer vacation for "Nana Camp"!

great stay just needs a heater in the main floor . It was very clean the host was very responsive. Very beautiful place I'd go back .

everything was perfect. inside/outside. Definitely felt like a home. hope to return next year!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway at your rental. It is the second time we have stayed there … previously in early August 2024. We returned because of its privacy, its proximity to great restaurants (Manma’s Mercantile, Atlas, Beach Bar at Clark Lake, Lucero’s and Klavons), as well as to several antique shops. The stay was perfect. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

Debra was an absolutely amazing host. She was helpful and responsive as soon as I booked and throughout my stay. The house itself was clean and as described, and I felt right at home here. The lake was beautiful and I’d love to come back when it’s warmer out. I will definitely choose to stay here when I am in the area again!

Very nice cabin in a quiet area on a small lake. Sherry was very friendly and responsive to our requests. This was the perfect "home away from home" for our little swimming adventure. we'll come back next year if we can.

We wanted a peaceful, relaxing and fun Fall getaway and that’s exactly what we got! The Cottage was everything we asked for- simple and cozy! The sunrise over the lake was gorgeous, coffee on deck started the days nicely and warm fires ended the nights!

This is one of the most well-appointed Airbnbs I have every stayed in, especially for someone who loves to cook! It was also very family friendly, as we had a one year old in tow. It is right on the lake and the view is so peaceful and blue. We came in cold weather so did not experience the water or the busy season, but it was perfect all the same. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was very clean. Everything - furniture, appliances, etc. - were spotless and in good working order. There were spots to store things, so even though there were six of us (including a baby!) it never felt cluttered or messy. Lots of games provided and the attached all season porch was nice for reading or winding down at the end of the day. 11/10 stars!!!

The cottage was great for our purposes over the Christmas holiday. Great views from the windows at the back of the house. The host was very accommodating. I can see where this would be a fun place to be in the summer!

They went far and above their requirements as a host, I made a booking error for the wrong dates and the graciously refunded my full amount, this would have been the second visit to their cottage and it truly is an amazing rental, thank you again Danny

It was nice. Our girls had fun.

My sister and I had a peaceful long weekend at Fish Tales. It was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake. It was fun to take the kayaks out and just RELAX. The cottage was a short drive to the swim race location at Half Moon lake that we were visiting for. If you are looking for a peaceful spot with beautiful views this is for you,

Our stay was wonderful! I stayed at the cabin for the weekend with friends. We were competing in a horse show in the area and were gone most of the day but I wish we had more time to spend at the campground. The area was beautiful and peaceful by a lake. I would have loved to just spend the entire weekend there and hope to go back with family in the future. There was a lot to do with great amenities. You could go out on the lake with paddle boats or go hiking. The cabin that we stayed in was a good size for four people. We had a great time and would recommend.

Great place for my crew to relax after long work days.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy lake house! The home is nestled in a beautiful forested area, surrounded by tall trees and the sound of birds in every direction — it felt like our own peaceful retreat in nature. The lake view was stunning, and we loved spending mornings sipping coffee on the porch while soaking it all in. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and very family-friendly, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. Whether we were gathered around the firepit, cooking meals together, or just relaxing with a good book, it was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect. Our host was fantastic — incredibly responsive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Overall, a truly special spot for nature lovers and families looking for fun, relaxation, and beautiful scenery. We can’t wait to come back!

Mary was a very nice and gracious host. She was very responsive, provided all items needed at the bnb and even gave us recommendations that we followed up on. The cabin is beautiful and fit 5 adults perfectly. You could easily add a couple more people if needed. We all had plenty of space. Absolutely stunning location- peaceful and beautiful. There is minimal phone/internet service-just a heads up. However, my group found that this allowed for less phone distraction, adding to the peacefulness of the weekend. Fabulous place!

Jenn is a great host. The place is quiet, and the surroundings are perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. Highly recommended!

This lake house is such a gem! Modern, bright, beautiful decor and quality amenities. Carrie is a warm and supportive host. She thought of everything to make us feel comfortable and right at home. Well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed and more! Attention to detail in each room. Every shop and restaurant we went to in the immediate area was a pleasure. Highly recommend this property and host!
