Vacation rentals with a kayak in Lake Charlevoix

The home was everything we need for our small gathering.

The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

Convenient launching pad for winter adventures. Under 10 minute drive to Treetops which was perfect for our weekend ski trip.

This is a one of a kind property. It’s a safe place for the kids to run around and explore. We loved the disc golf so much.

Lovey home. Beautiful location. Very clean. Amply stocked. Great communication. For those who have problems with many stairs…. This is NOT a good fit. There are twenty steps each time you enter or leave the home. Outside there are more stairs to move to the lower level.

Everything was good about this place and the service. Cindy answers very quickly which was much appreciated. At times the water didn’t come out the best but other times it was great and worked perfectly other than that everything was great. We really enjoyed it.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! The pictures don’t do the view from the main living room justice - gorgeous panoramic lakefront. The cabin was rustic but homey. We enjoyed curling up on the sofa with a good book, playing games at the dining table, and grilling out. Our two dogs had a wonderful time splashing around on the private beach. This location is very desirable in both its privacy and proximity to multiple other towns (Suttons Bay and Leland are very close, and Glen Arbor and Traverse City are easily drivable). So quiet and peaceful - would stay again!

From beginning to the end of our stay, this home was exactly what we wanted for a private celebration. There were 7 of us and we each really liked this place. We could walk to town which was super fun or just hang out in the backyard . Some of us did the sauna and some just sat around the bonfire. As we were sitting there several times deer walked by. It was in town but felt very secluded and peaceful. Highly recommend and would stay here again

Amazing home with 5 min walk to downtown Walloon. Huge yard with fire pit and hot tub! We loved our stay here and recommend this to anyone considering Walloon accommodations!

We had a great family of 6 getaway to this peaceful cabin. It was a great space to spend time together playing games, watching movies, and walking down to the lake. So pretty! Also, Aaron provided instructions in advance of what we needed to know. It is perfectly situated near Charlevoix and Petoskey. Thank you for a nice space to have family time and allow our grand pup to join us!

My fiancé stayed here for a weekend with his friends and they had a great time! Tara was quick with responses and was a great host! :)

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.

The mist clearing on the lake in the morning sun reveals the changing colors of trees in the Fall Season. At night, the constellations sparkle strongly and clearly in the dark sky. And the sounds of silence increase the sense of peace and wonder. This is what you can experience whether sitting around a lakeside fire or sitting in the front room of the cottage. And making a home cooked meal is a pleasure as well...the kitchen supports good cooking and the dining room table supports warm and interesting conversations. Thanks, Leanne

Great place to unwind and relax! Ellsworth Lake is such a beautiful spot and holds many memories for our family.

The Memory Maker was all that we hoped for and so much more. We had initially intended to find an Airbnb on Torch Lake but once we saw this place we booked it right away and it was the perfect choice. We still trailered the boat a quick ride to Torch for an adventure but spent the majority of our trick on Elk Lake and loved it. This Airbnb thought of everything and we wanted for nothing! We took our four adult children and their significants and our grandbaby and we all had plenty of room to enjoy our stay! Hank and Alaina

Stayed in Topinbee to attend Mackinac Island Lilac Festival. This was an amazing spot to relax from the busy festival activites! Having a quiet evening in the hot tub with the beautiful view of Lake Mullet was quickly a favorite activity! Cannot recommend this rental enough for an extremely relaxed and pleasant lakeside space. Hosts were very responsive, gave great recommendations, and were incredibly helpful when we worried we misplaced one of our personal items. Hopefully we'll be able to make the trip again next year for the next fest!

Our family enjoyed our stay! We were able to swim kayak, bonfires and grill all in one stay ! Driving distance to torch lake was extremely close. Village market was just 2 minutes from the cabin and wonderful just down the road. I would recommend a stay with Emily !

The cabin was perfect. So many useful amenities. Perfect for our family snowmobiling trip.

We recently stayed at this breathtaking Airbnb, and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was! The location offers stunning panoramic views—whether you’re enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery is simply unforgettable. The house itself is beautifully well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. After a long day, we gathered around the firepit to enjoy the warmth and make s’mores. It was a magical way to end the evenings, and the hosts provided all the tools and ingredients we needed to make the experience perfect. This place is truly a peaceful retreat and has all the comforts you could ask for. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of nature, comfort, and a memorable stay! Amanda's kindness and care for their guests made us feel welcome. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. A wonderful host who made sure our family vacation would be memorable and special.

What a beautiful place to stay! Everything was exactly as stated, yet even better. Every year, as three couples, we find a place for a long weekend to catch up. We determined that we will be back though we usually try new places. While the weather could have been warmer, we still found plenty to do and there’s always sitting by the bonfire. Many places charge for wood, but this host supplies it for us, which is very generous. The button on the coffee maker broke and we offered to pay for a new one, but the host picked one up and dropped off the same day. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home, Craig! We appreciate your hospitality and we will be back!

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

Michael was very responsive. He had courtesy to text before coming to the cabin. He has a great personality and very friendly. The cottage was beautiful, clean and peaceful which is what we were looking for . We had such a relaxing time that we are planning for next years trip and staying there. We had cottage 1 and what a beautiful view of the lake. My husband was able to fish with boat provided and enjoyed himself.. Overall wonderful experience. Thank you Michael.

Chelsea‘s cottage was a great, cozy, clean northern retreat. We will definitely be back!

Great place to stay for everything Manistee River! Clean, comfortable, quiet and plenty of room to relax. Lesley was great and very responsive. We would definitely stay again.
