The Little House
We loved our visit to the little house, there were tons of mowed trails to wander and explore and our kids loved running around and looking at all the cars and treasures, the photos don't do it justice. The home was clean and cute and vintage and peaceful. Highly recommend if you need a getaway and like to be outdoors to walk without having to drive somewhere. It was just a short drive to Mackinaw City and the lakeshore as well.

Authentic Log Cabin Cabin 8 Balsams Resort
It was everything we wanted and more. Very private and peaceful. Got to see a jack rabbit and a river otter come up the stream. Dont forget your bug spray and found many woodticks.

Birch, The Collaboration House
The house was fantastic! An architect/designers dream Airbnb. Minimalistic and organized, clutter free with focus on the beautiful woods that the house is nestled in. The outdoor room was perfect for grilling and hanging outside with a bottle of wine.

Great Lakes Michigan Retreat. Pet friendly
we enjoyed our stay at this location. Jennie is very friendly and helpful and available for any questions all the time. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

MCM A-Frame | HOT TUB | Lake | Golf| Nature|Kayaks
Loved this place for our girls weekend. The stairs were narrow but knew this before we booked. Place was clean and had some nice extras …. Hammock and hot tub was used often. Katie was a wonderful host. We did not have any problem so the there was little contact. Blinds on the entry door would be a nice thing to add. Would recommend! 5 stars for this beautiful little A Frame.

The Perfect Getaway Close to TC/Sleeping Bear Dune
Everything was very, very nice. Would choose it again for sure

Little Bear Cabin on the Hill
Loved staying at the Little Bear Cabin. Peaceful , private. The kitchen has pretty much all the essentials to cook some great campfire food. comfortable bed, wall mounted tv for those cozy rainy days a big plus. Wifi worked great! The whole cabin looks like its taken care of really well. Would definitely go back!

Cozy, rustic One room cabin.
Perfect little outdoorsy cabin. Had a great trip. Beautiful area.

Hephzibah’s Haven: Up North cabin with Lake Access
Audra is absolutely amazing as a host! The house was exactly as pictured. We loved it!!

Black Lake Beachfront 4season Lake House 🐾
What a beautiful place to hang our hats at. We really enjoyed the view and the amenities were amazing. Also the mattresses were great!!!

Waterfront Cottage at Larks Lake
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

Lakeside Lookout, Relaxing Waterfront Condo
We had a lovely stay at this condo. It is located on a beautiful lake of which the living room has a gorgeous view. Access to kayaks and a fire pit were a very nice bonus! The property was clean and comfortable. Communication about our stay was great. Highly recommend!

On Golden Pond
Staying here was truly relaxing. We felt like we were actually able to unplug and get away. The property is absolutely beautiful and so fun to explore. This place made our trip to the U.P. extra special. We would happily visit again.

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
Kara was an outstanding host. She was very quick to respond throughout the entire process from questions prior to booking through the end of our stay. Having never visited Traverse City before she left us with many recommendations, some of which we checked out and really enjoyed. The unit is as clean and nice as detailed. You can’t beat the views and the beach is beautiful as well. We would be happy staying with Kara again.

Cozy in Walloon Village
Great stay and clean. Main bed very comfortable. Convenient to Boyne City and Petoskey. Would recommend and stay again.

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!

The Round Haven with Big Glen Lake Access
What a beautiful place to experience Northern Michigan. It was very clean and felt like walking into an Up North oasis. We are “honorary locals” at this point and can honestly say that this spot is perfect for those coming to Northern Michigan but wanting to spend more time outdoors. Sometimes places in Traverse City have still a little too much hustle and bustle. The Round Haven was never too far from our other Northern Michigan favorites like Old Mission, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Suttons, and Leland. The Round Haven was also conveniently on the Glen Lakes with an easy drop in for our kayaks. We hope to come back in the future!

Stargazer Geo Dome at Lost Woods w/luxury bathroom
Amazing place! Would recommend to anyone looking for a private get away! My wife and I loved getting off the grid for a night and enjoying time together!

Lola's Retreat, near ferry to Mackinac Island
We had a great time! Would stay here again

Cute and cozy getaway space.
This apartment is in the perfect location! We walked to dinner and breakfast, it was across the street from the ferry. It was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend.

COZY A-Frame on 5 acres near Torch Lake & Traverse
We had an amazing weekend at The Lodge and will definitely try to come back to TC and stay there again. What a wonderful little cabin in the woods.

Relaxing 3 bed home with private yard and parking
We had a great experience staying at Eliska’s house. It was charming. It was extremely clean and she left us lots of supplies to make the visit easy and comfortable. We appreciated all of her personal touches. The house was in a great location for walking to the downtown and the water.

Lakefront*HotTub*Kayaks*Fire Pit*Bridge views!
Wonderful place that exceeded our expectations. The hosts were great with communicating and made themselves available to assist with anything we needed. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Can't ask for a better view of Lake Huron, especially from the great hot tub!

Blue Ridge Beach House- Secluded Beach Front
Beautiful place! Very responsive host. Beds were comfortable and entire house was very clean. Thank you for letting us stay.

All About Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island, a former Ojibwe trading center and French and British military base, evolved into a popular vacation destination after the U.S. government took it over in 1812. Located on Lake Huron between Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas, the tiny island may be best known for banning cars and making fudge — if there’s a connection between the two, you’ll have to make it yourself. You can stay overnight here or return to the mainland to sleep in towns such as Mackinaw City, Petoskey, or Harbor Springs. During the day, many visitors rent bikes and coaches to circle the eight-mile-long perimeter. There are enough outdoor activities, such as hiking, kayaking, and golf, to keep you occupied for several days. Or simply spend a few hours perusing the shops in the Victorian downtown and the historical sites.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mackinac Island
Peak tourist season on Mackinac Island runs from late May through early October, when the climate is the most appealing. In July and August, the temperature ranges from the 70s to the low 90s Fahrenheit, whereas the spring and fall months are comfortably cool, even brisk. Summer and fall are the two wettest seasons, and the humidity on clear days is noticeable, so you’ll want to pack breathable, light clothes and rain jackets.
Most of the visitors, as well as the horses, leave the island during the cold, snowy winters, which the Great Lakes supplements with heavy fog. But some prefer the island in the off-season. If you’re one of them, dress for sub-freezing temperatures and deep snow.
Top things to do in Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island State Park
This state park takes up four-fifths of the island, and trails for pedestrians and bikes crisscross the hilly interior. The densest woodlands can be found in the north and center, but the southeast quadrant draws many people to marvel over Arch Rock, a limestone formation high over the lake.
Fort Mackinac
Climb the bluffs above the ferry landing to get to Fort Mackinac, the oldest standing structure in Michigan. You can check out the military barracks and historical reenactments, fire a cannon, or simply wander along the cliffs admiring Lake Huron.
Carriage Ride
Horse-drawn carriages, which range in size from two-seaters to large taxis, circle the island throughout the day, stopping at major attractions or allowing you to enjoy the island at a leisurely pace. Some stables rent out horses to experienced riders.
