Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Little Traverse Bay

Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully provisioned. Perfect rendezvous point for family coming from Traverse City, Houghton, and WNY. Enjoyed a surprisingly sunny spring afternoon on the back porch. A good jumping off point for “up north” attractions, but we were happy to just cook together and visit.

This was an incredible experience. Brenden helped me out when I was in a panic about where to stay after a previous reservation had fallen through. Very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and house was clean. Garage was spacious and rooms were perfect for guests we had. The only bummer was the rain all weekend to not enjoy the outdoors/lake but the company was good! Would highly recommend not only this property but Brenden as a host!

We had a great time! Great location.

Very quiet neighborhood, close to Hansen Hills for skiing, close enough to town to make access to restaurants and shops easy. Comfortable space, nice to have decent knives, pots and pans. Very roomy!

We had a nice time staying for a long weekend! Even in April, the views of the surrounding woods through the large windows was great.

Very cute stay! Very clean, somewhat sparse kitchen amenities, but enough for us to prep and cook a meal. The ductless AC/hearing units were tricky to figure out. Most importantly, both bathrooms are on the main floor, which is not clear from the listing. This meant my friend who cannot do stairs without assistance slept on the couch downstairs so she didn’t have to wake us up if when she needed the restroom. Overall a very nice place, but wish a couple things had been more clear.

All the amenities you could want--kitchen had everything you would need. Lots of family games, toys and books for children. Every room was cozy and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend Melissa as a hostess!

Great place to stay with great hosts!

I can’t recommend Bridget’s place enough! My family and I came up to st ignace for a UP get away weekend and this was the perfect way to spend time together in the evening while also having privacy. The location is walking distance to Sheplers which was so convenient for getting to Mackinac island. The space itself is roomy, clean and gives you a beautiful view of Lake Huron. Bridget is also a prompt, clear and thoughtful host. If we ever get the chance, we will absolutely be staying with Bridget again in the future!

A precious space right in town that we enjoyed so much, only wishing we would have had more time. Incredible hosts providing great communication and information to make our short time so special. The space had everything one needs and we were super comfy. We cannot wait to return. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay while in town to ski. Easy walking distance to restaurants for a person that enjoys walking, even in the cold. Thanks for letting us stay in your cute airbnb!! Don and Jill

Incredibly cute apartment within walking distance to the main area on Front St. Troy provided plenty of instructions for parking and getting in and made sure to check in periodically via the app to make sure I had everything I needed. There was even a welcome cider waiting when I arrived. Individual hotel-esque soap kits were provided from Sojo.

Roomy summery vibes place with a convenient location for downtown shopping and dining. Loved the decor touches!

We had a great stay for a winter ski trip. 20 min to Boyne highlands. Airbnb itself is very well stocked and well maintained. Host was responsive. One thing to keep in mind is there is a steep staircase to get to the unit that I imagine may not be suitable for all.

Heather's spot in Walloon Lake was perfect for my long weekend away. Clean, cozy, and within walking distance of the lake and local restaurants. It's also just a short drive from Petoskey. I enjoyed it very much and would stay again.

The place is exactly as described, great location, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Great location and super clean. Loved that this place was walking distance from downtown. Would stay here again in the future.

This is a great place for a family get together. It has plenty of space and amenities.

Such a nice dwelling, clean and quiet - I was very happy with the accomodations...

This unit has a great location that is a short walk to the downtown. Checking in went smoothly and the unit was well maintained.

Nick's place was great. Super clean and cozy. Electric fireplace was great to have when coming in from the cold. Beds were comfortable. Had everything we needed. Would like to point out that for a person who needs a fan( other than a ceiling fan) to sleep, it was nice to see that each bedroom had a box/ oscillating fan in the closet. Might seem trivial...but it meant 2 great nights of sleep for me. 😁 . Location was great. Very close to downtown Boyne City. Cute lil up north town. 10-15 drive to Boyne Mountain. Also very easy and relatively close drive to Charlevoix and Petoskey. Great for a 1/2 day or day trip. Nick was responsive in a timely manner. All was very good. Would stay again for sure.

This is a beautifully designed condo with lots of spaces for a group to be together (large table, kitchen island stools, and sitting area). We loved the location of the condo because we could walk to restaurants, shops and family who were also staying in the Village. Accessing the unit is a bit complicated but the directions given are well done and easily followed, but you need to have those directions available to you for your first time into the unit - after that first time, you will be fine. Also it is important to note that even with the elevator, everyone staying in the unit will have to negotiate a single flight of stairs with suitcase, either up a traditional staircase or the metal spiral staircase. We would highly recommend this unit.

Lovely little condo and it is the first door closest to the parking garage. Then only up half a flight of stairs and you were there. Only downfall was parking - the lot out back has less than 20 spaces, some of them handicapped. So we had to pay the $20/day to park overnight in the garage next door. The back parking lot was also not plowed well at all so walking thru on your way to places was a bit treacherous in December. But, all things out of the owner's control. Everything inside was pristine and beautiful. p Plenty of extra blankets and pillows too!

Julie’s space was prefect for a little getaway. Plenty of room and a big kitchen. The location was about a 8 minute walk to the downtown which was easily accessible. Julie was communicative and left some recommendations. Would definitely come back!
