Vacation rentals with a kayak in Lake Michigan

Perfect place to stay for my son's graduation from the Navy Academy. Very flexible to the fact we extended our stay to spend more time with our Sailor.. Felt Right At Home!!! Thank you Jacqueline & Mark.. ;-)

I had the pleasure of staying at this house for almost three months, and I truly can’t say enough good things about it. The home was exactly like the pictures: spotlessly clean, thoughtfully furnished, and incredibly well-equipped with everything I needed for a long stay. One of the highlights is the huge garden and river access. What really made the stay exceptional were the hosts, Jody and Ehren. You honestly won’t find nicer, more welcoming people. They were always responsive, easy to communicate with, and genuinely kind!! Two other standout features: the peace and quiet of the area (perfect for relaxing or focusing on work), and the super comfy bed that made it feel like home from day one. The only thing to keep in mind is that you’ll definitely need a car. Howard itself is pretty quiet, but everything you could want, is just a quick 10-minute drive away in Green Bay, so it’s no problem at all. All in all, an amazing stay. Highly recommend!

Ur home was beautiful n relax to stay there n fun to be in the lake love it thank u luci for letting us stay at ur beautiful home

We had an amazing stay! Everything was just great — the host was extremely friendly and always quick to respond. The house was very nice, clean, and comfortable, with modern renovations that made it feel fresh and cozy. The location was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Would definitely stay here again!

awesome place awesome host awesome time thank you

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean. The back yard was perfect for our blind doggie to wander around. The walking trail wasn't long, but it had a big hill so my heart got pumping. We would definately stay here again!

Erin’s place was beautiful. The water was so clear! Beds were super comfortable, and area was nice and quiet.

Marc was a genuine guy, and wonderful host. We will be coming back again for sure. Maybe even make this a regular trip.

Our second visit! The lake and cottage are so quite and chill, it checked all our boxes for a great weekend. It's close to Hastings for us to do a bike race this weekend. The deck has been updated and a rockstar experience. The cottage is clean with plenty of amenities. It's truly an at home experience and Jason is fab on messages. We added an extra night on this visit since our plans changed. Next time we need to stay for a few weeks, that's for sure! Till next time...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Crystal's place. It was charming and quaint just like the photos in the listing. We enjoyed walking by the lake in the morning which is super close to the cottage. The location is close to bike trails that we enjoyed as well as downtown Grand Haven and Spring Lake. The perfect place for a Michigan Fall weekend getaway!

One of, if not the cleanest Airbnb we’ve been to. Everything was ready/easily accessible in the home, didn’t have to worry about missing/going out for anything. Area was really quiet and peaceful, however the bedrooms were close to/facing the road where the occasional car could be heard (1-2 cars per night). Overall had a great time staying here, would definitely recommend and possibly rebook in the future.

We stayed at this charming cottage for a weekend with our family of 11, ranging from 17 to 74 years old. It was the perfect place for all of us to come together and enjoy quality time in a peaceful setting. The booking process was quick and easy, and check-in was seamless. From the moment we arrived, we felt immediately welcomed by the host, who had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The cottage was incredibly neat and tidy. I personally loved that there were limited televisions, which meant we spent more time playing family games and bonding. The cottage was very well-stocked with all the essentials, and we never felt like we were missing anything. Situated in a peaceful and beautiful area, the cottage offered a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding. Although it rained the entire weekend, it didn’t dampen the fun—there was still plenty to enjoy indoors, and the scenery was stunning, even from the comfort of the cottage.

This cottage was perfect! It was warm, quiet, cozy and clean! The cottage had everything we needed, INCLUDING COFFEE, laundry soap, dish soap and many extras! The hot tub stayed hot even after a couple hours open in the cold. The bed and pillows were amazing. We never closed a curtain, it was so private and quiet! Would definitely stay here again!

While there are plenty of houses in the area, it was soooo quiet! The hot tub was perfect when we got there, and easy to use. They were super responsive and friendly, and very welcoming! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful quick getaway, and would definitely recommend staying here.

What a great rental and what great hosts! My wife and I spent four nights at Laurie and Ralph's cabin outside Charlevoix and we didn't want to leave. Very highly recommend. Can't wait to come back again! The house itself is peaceful and comfortable and has everything a couple might need. Outside we sat down by the lake and saw the auroras and took advantage of their kayaks to go for a paddle. Laurie was very helpful and communicative, even sending us a photo of the driveway which is a bit hidden. Ralph even came over with an extra flashlight when the power briefly went out all over town. Charlevoix and the rest of the area was fantastic. Cute town with some great places to eat and just walk through the shops. From Boyne Falls to Petoskey, everything we wanted to do was within a quick and very scenic drive.

The house is beautiful and very spacious. The views were beautiful. The kitchen had everything needed. Beds were comfortable. Overall, it was a great stay and I would love to return in the summer to enjoy the lake.

We love staying here! It is so private, peaceful, cozy, and perfect for what we look for in a little vacation. Joannah is a great, responsive host. The bottle of wine was a nice touch. She leaves tons of local recommendations for you to discover. The hot tub on the river is exactly what we needed and look forward to! We’ve been back a few times and will hopefully return.

This was our second stay at Russ’ and Jade’s. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet place in nature..this is it! The cabin is very inviting and clean, and the view of the river is beautiful. We appreciated the immediate response from the hosts when needed. It’s a great place.

This was the third year my daughter and I stayed in the Grant area for spring Turkey season. This was by far the most comfortable and accommodating place we have stayed. From the full kitchen, comfortable beds and quiet setting, we could not have asked for more. Our host was friendly and very responsive to all of our inquiries. We will definitely look to stay here again.

John was one of the most friendly, communicative, flexible hosts I've ever experienced. He was thoroughly delightful, conscientious, and helpful. The cabin was charming and cozy.

Quiet, clean, and cozy! A great weekend stay

This place checks all the boxes with an amazing host. Will be back annually. Craig, thanks again for a great stay

Mardi was a wonderful host! Her place was comfortable and had everything you would ever need. Would definitely stay at Mardi’s place again and would definitely recommend.

This place was great for a quiet, peaceful sisters weekend. It was rainy which was perfect to just read, eat and watch the wildlife right outside the glass patio door. We saw 3 different kinds of woodpeckers, squirrels and even a few frogs! We were still able to enjoy soaking in the hot tub, which is very private. There is nothing but woods behind the cabin. The inside is really cute and very comfortable, also very clean. There is a tv for movie nights and WiFi for streaming services. The kitchen had everything we needed also. Highly recommend!
