Beautiful Historic Building on Manistee River Walk
One of the most unique Airbnb places we've stayed in. The apartment has a lot of stairs, but climbing up them is well worth the effort! It is situated on the top floor of an old bank. It's been renovated to be bright and modern with an open concept. The high ceilings and large windows, makes the place airy and bright. Beds were comfortable. A full kitchen had everything needed. Lots of hot water-pressure great. Extra bonuses - a balcony off the back of the apartment overlooks the Manistee River and there's a vintage movie theater just across the street. The river is a freighter channel with drawbridges! You can check in advance to see when ships will pass and if you are lucky, you may see one. The Vouge theater seems to show one new movie, a classic movie, and an indy type movie. The rest of the neighborhood is all 19th century/early 20th century buildings - pubs, coffee shops, a restaurant, antique shops, etc. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is only 50 mins away. Thanks Barry!

Eagle View Suite: Swim, Patio, Walkable Eat & Shop
Staying here was such a seamless and comfortable experience. Alisa made check in extremely easy and the place was spotless upon arrival. We noticed Alisa provides recommendations, menus, and things like puzzles and binoculars for birdwatching—all which enriched our stay in Door County.

Private sandy beachfront on the West Bay in TC
Angela’s place was amazing! When we walked in, we were in awestruck by how classy the furniture selections and decorating were. Also, this was probably the cleanest Air BNB we have stayed in. Angela was very communicative, and she provided great recommendations for places to dine. We enjoyed the fire pit one evening, with the reflection of the full moon over the bay…so cool! We would love to come back to the area, and this place will certainly be our first choice for places to stay!

Lake City Landings Unit 1
Lovely place RIGHT on the lake. My husband and I went for a date weekend of ice fishing and relaxation. Yes-it was a perfect spot to walk out and fish despite the quantities of snow! Restaurants all right there in walking distance- hours are different than what is on menus or online so be aware. Very clean and cozy place that was spacious and warm. We will definitely keep it on our list for the future!

Unit #32, One Bedroom, Lakeside, Ludington Beach House
We loved the idea of converting an old motel into a more comfortable and spacious place right across from the beach. The bed was comfortable, "living" room space with table, microwave and fridge were just what we needed, and folks we met were very friendly. We'd stay here again!

Secluded & Quiet on the Beautiful Kalamazoo River
Very beautiful place. Secluded and peaceful, perfect for a quiet weekend away. Has a cute little town not too far away with plenty of places to eat and activities to participate in. Would definitely come back!

Executive Apartment on Lake Michigan with parking
me and my fiance stayed just a few days and I didn’t want to leave! The space was even better than expected. Having almost everything you’d need to cook, plenty of towels, clean bedding. It was so clean and beautiful inside and the view from the balcony was gorgeous. Felt just like home. The neighborhood was very nice and peaceful as well. We will 100% be back!

Second Floor Apartment sitting on Pine Lake
Rhonda was a wonderful host. The place was beautiful and the lake peaceful. We loved the firepit!

The River House Sauna/Kayaks/Hot Tub/Fire Pit
The house was great! Everything was clean and well supplied. We loved having the hot tub already hot when we got there.

Lakefront living at its best!
Great location for ice fishing. Listing is accurate, spacious and clean. Will definitely book again and look forward to checking this home out for a summer trip. Host is very responsive, friendly and helpful!

The Beach house! Enjoy Beachfront Living!
MIke was an amazing host. Extremely responsive, and very flexible and accommodating. Was in town with my family for a funeral; Mike was very understanding and was willing to go the extra mile to support the changing flow of the trip. Beautiful view; I could imagine it would be amazing in the summer. All-in-all, a great stay, and exactly what we needed during this time. Would love to be there in the summer or fall!

Corner Lakefront Property
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.. ;-)

Rare! River House in the City, Near Everything GB
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!

Waterfront Cottage with Covered Boat Slip
This place was perfect for my family and cousins. It had everything we needed, the host was quick and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront - Fox Lake - Bring your boat. 3bd 2bath
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this waterfront property on Fox Lake with our three dogs. The home offers direct access to the lake, providing a serene and picturesque setting for a relaxing getaway. The house comfortably accommodated our group, featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The interior was clean and well-maintained, offering all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. Our dogs enjoyed the spacious yard and the proximity to the lake. The neighborhood was peaceful, making it ideal for morning walks with our pets. Additionally, the property's location provided convenient access to local attractions and dining options in Fox Lake. The host was responsive and accommodating, ensuring our check-in process was smooth and that we had everything we needed throughout.

Penthouse Studio on Grand Traverse East Bay
We had an amazing time! The place and view is absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be back!

Marina Condo near Lake Michigan
Dave made us feel right at home and answered any questions we had. His place is near restaurants and stores which were very convenient! It is also a 12 minute drive to the national park and there are so many places to check out. It’s about a 45 minute drive to Chicago and there’s a train nearby if you want to take that instead into the city. I highly recommend staying here Dave’s place was clean and he was an amazing host!

Fabulous unique downtown adventure plus boardwalk
Awesome location, great condo! Gladys is a responsive, friendly host! This was our 2nd stay at their unit, and will definitely rent again!

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
This may be one of my new favorite Air BNB spots! It is very comfortable and close to a lot of spots in Traverse City. The beach view was also very nice to look at. Kara is a great host and provided us with clear check in and check out instructions. Will definitely be visiting again!

(1) 87 Breezy Barefoot Beach Condo
It was just what we thought. Holiday weekend for our first trip. This was a convenient spot to come back to and relax. Very clean, comfortable. 4 Adults were not crowded. Owner responsive for a few questions. Happy with stay.

Marina View Condo - Minutes from Grand Haven
Had a great stay at the condo for a few days! Great location. Quiet area but a quick drive to shops and the beach

"THE NEST" Condo on Lake Michigan Lighthouse View
Absolutely the perfect place to find your inner peace and re-energize! The Nest is exactly that. It is so warm, comfortable and secure that it just so serene. The view is almost undesirable as it took my breath away and brought happy tears to my eyes. As a 60 year old mom of 2 amazing kiddos 11 and 9 who are both Neurodivergent it was the best medicine for my heart and soul. We will be back hopefully many times as both of my kiddos felt right at home. My husband as well was in awe of this Treasure I was able to find. Thank you Charlie and Suzy for allowing our little family enjoy something that never would have imagine as possible for us. it was heaven on earth.
