Vacation rentals with lake access in Leelanau County

This is perhaps the best rental we’ve found after years of going up to the Leelanau Peninsula. The location is perfect, the layout of the home is comfortable and spacious, and it has every amenity a family needs to hunker down for a stay. Simply put, it’s everything a family could ask for when staying in the Northport area. Also, hosts are very responsive and friendly to any and all questions.

Great host who was super helpful and responsive and a very cute home in an adorable town! Definitely recommend.

Everything about this place was perfect. First, it’s every bit as beautiful as the photos. Such a tranquil setting. And what a house! Really clean and beautifully anointed, with everything we needed. We hope to come back, soon.

We had a lovely, relaxing 5 days at this camp. It is simple but appears to be recently renovated. It’s not high end (the kitchen chairs are cheap plastic) but it’s clean, comfortable, and tasteful. It’s nestled on the lake with a gorgeous view. Sadly, the renovation did not include a dishwasher. Bayshore does a great job stocking the place - there are plenty of replacement supplies, including coffee. Two Bayshore annoyances: I requested a rubber spatula/flipper so the non stick pans didn’t get further damaged. Their response: I could purchase one myself. Also, you have to drag the trash can 200 yards up the driveway on Tuesday nights or “there may be an additional fee.” Still, I would stay there again.

Lovely house with lovely grounds. The pictures did not do it or the beach justice. Was really beautiful. The house is setup really well with everything you need for cooking, entertaining and hanging out. We had a lovely time.

Easily one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve been to. Jim was very responsive and kept us informed, and his assistant Jenny was there at check in to show us a tour of the house. The attention to details was amazing, and we felt like it was a home away from home. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the Traverse City area.

All of us loved everything about this place and the cozy home feeling. If you needed ANYTHING this house had it. Wow what an amazing place! Thank you Wonderful Birthday weekend with my mom and daughter. Girls weekend to play euchre at the casino. Wow nice job Debbie! Perfect place to stay 😊you’re the best

Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

We loved our stay! Close to everything and such a great home to come back to each day. Would recommend to anyone!! Can’t wait to come back. My wife even said she wishes this was her home!

We see spent 9 nights at Water-view Flat. Brad was a great host. He was very responsive. It is newer flat and presents a very upscale vibe. The place was very clean and well decorated. The linens, bedding and mattress all where 5 star hotel quality. The kitchen was very well stocked. The place was light and bright. We enjoyed coffee on the deck. We had our bikes and had very easy access to the TART trail . Everything we needed was walking of biking distance. We would not hesitate to rent again and most likely will.

We had a wonderful stay. The host was very responsive. The space was beautiful and comfortable.

This was a perfect place to stay for a few days while in the area for a conference. The place was clean and comfortable. The beach access was a nice added bonus.

Beautiful place right on Lake Michigan. Very friendly owners. Would definitely recommend

The lodge was great! My partner and I came up for the weekend for a marathon, and having a secluded spot near the water was wonderful. It's very close to Glen Arbor restaurants and parks, short enough for an adventurous walk or a very quick drive.

David and Nicole were exceptional hosts. They were extremely responsive and genuinely vested in a comfortable and pleasurable stay. Their attention to detail, well equipped accommodations made my stay better than my own home. Everything in its place and easy to find. I stay in Airbnb’s all over the country and this is easily top 3 and they have a very happy repeat client as long as they will have me. Thanks for an excellent experience David and Nicole. Looking forward to my next stay! Frank

Our second time staying here. Very clean and neat. Super close to the horse park and the beach. Host is always responsive within a few minutes. Will definitely stay again.

Little Skip Cottage is perfectly located between Sutton Bay and Northport making it easy to enjoy what each area has to offer. Carolyn was quick to respond to our questions about the area and offered suggestions of hikes in the area. The cottage was welcoming and cozy and beautifully decorated. We were able to fix meals in the kitchen that was well stocked and loved all the little “extras” like a coffee bar, spices and condiments. We hope to return soon to one of our favorite places.

This was a beautiful and convenient location! We enjoyed staying right on the water and appreciated that it was a short drive to both Glen Arbor and Leland. Sonya was a very responsive communicator and had excellent suggestions when it came to local dining and attractions.

Beautiful location. Nice, older style cabin. Very clean. Hosts were very nice and great communicators. Beach was beautiful and private. Super clear water; found a number of Petoskey stones and saw some nice rainbow trout swimming around. Would definitely visit again

Carlie's place is absolutely one of the best vacation rentals I've ever stayed in. The two houses and location are beautiful, and we found ourselves wanting to hang out at her place instead of going to some nearby beaches (which are also great). Carlie provided a lot of great amenities that really hit the mark for us: beautiful dock, paddleboard/kayaks, giant splash pad, firepits, floaties, picnic tables, grills (yes, multiple), s'mores fixings and other treats... All in all it made for a great vacation and I hope we return soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location is perfect. We walked to town every day. The cottage had everything that we needed for our stay in Northport. The place was very clean and well appointed. The owner was so kind and helpful. She helped us when we got locked out and provided good info about the area. We hope to stay at the cottage again next year if we vacation in Northport.

Perfect location and beach is short walk down the road. Everything we needed and more was in their house. We loved the front deck and listening to the small creek. We did our usual wine tour and visited Fishtown. Everything we visited was 5-15 minutes away. Thank you for sharing your place with us! We will definitely come back……..

The Jolly Lodge is your quintessential Lake Michigan get away stay overlook the clear blue waters of the lake with your own private beach and lawn overlooking Manitou Island in the distance! Highly recommended for sure!

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!
