Lazy on the Lake

Come up north and enjoy the peaceful, laid back feel of country living. Wake up early and go down to the dock, enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the lake. Traverse City is 20 minutes away where you have the national cherry festival, fine dining, casinos, and world class winery's with beautiful views of the bay. Orv trails abound, and in the winter, this year round cabin is in the heart of the snow belt with some of the best snowmobiling in the lower peninsula.

Big Twin Lodge - Lake Life/Trail Riding/Seclusion

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews6 months ago

This was probably my favorite vacation rental of any that I have used. The house was huge with plenty of room for everyone. Well-stocked kitchen. The pond and the forest made everything magical. Theresa was a wonderful friendly conscientious host. If you're coming to the Traverse City area, this is the place to stay. We also visited Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Harbor Springs.

Family Fun: Torch Lake Cottage with Kayak & SUP!

4.67 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviews9 months ago

You have an absolute Gem of a cabin! I booked this trip on a whim only knowing I wanted to see Torch lake but unknowing of the area. I can’t imagine finding a better rental in all the area. It was absolutely perfect for our family in every way! I’ll start with the location. There is everything you need within minutes. Private access to the water with the perfect little beach just a couple minute walk down the road, grocery store, gas station, liquor store within a 5 minute drive. Kayak rental minutes down the road. Beautifully maintained hiking trails surrounding the area (I was shocked how much nicer they are than state parks in our area). We enjoyed going into Aden to shop, play at the park and get ice cream. The cabin was so comfortable we felt very much at home. It had a generous amount of supplies (towels, hygiene and paper products ect….) This place has been a prime location for a people free vacation at an incredible value and I’ve been recommending it to everyone! Thank you!

Lakefront cabin, near ORV trails! Optional pontoon

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 71 reviews8 months ago

Can’t say enough about our beautiful stay here. We are two couples so we only utilized the top portion but it was nice knowing there was a second bathroom that was easily accessible. When we walked in, we initially noticed the amazing views out of the picturesque windows. Loved the privacy and amenities (fire pit, dock, hot tub). I was a little worried about the temps with no central ac but the window unit did a nice job cooling the entire space including the two bedrooms. Lots of stairs but wasn’t a problem for our group. The hot tub works great and we appreciated the free firewood. Neighborhood bar is a short drive away and the food was good! The lake water was very clear and warm, great for a swim. We rented the boat for one day which was awesome and very easy to use. We will definitely consider staying again, it was hard to leave!

Gorgeous Torch Lake Cabin | Summer Awaits

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews1 month ago

This cozy cabin had modern amenities but retained a rustic feel. Bedrooms were spread out which provided privacy. Both bathrooms were accessible from the hallway, not en suite, which worked well for our group of friends. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Although it was located within a neighborhood, it felt like we were deep in the woods. The host company was very responsive. We would definitely book again.

Cozy Cabin on Manistee Lake

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews2 months ago

Darling original and legitimate log cottage. Located right on the water with beautiful views of the lake. I'm sure the sunsets in the summer time are spectacular and if the northern lights are ever out - you will see them from here. Conveniently located for easy access and close to Manistee Lake Pizza and Bakery which has really great pizza and cinnamon buns on the weekends! The bunkroom is darling and sleeps about 6 people! In the summer, the backyard is a great place for kids to play as well as the lakefront! I highly recommend this sweet log cottage on Manistee Lake!
