Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Otsego County

We absolutely loved Bluejay Cottage! From the moment we stepped inside, it felt like the perfect getaway, open, airy, peaceful, and beautifully decorated with thoughtful Michigan charm. Everything was exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfortable with crisp white sheets, the towels plush and plentiful, and the home had everything we could possibly need. The host didn’t miss a single detail, they thought of everything! The screened-in sunroom became our favorite hangout spot for coffee, games, and watching the stunning sunrises over the lake. We had so much fun using the paddleboards and ending our nights by the fire pit making s’mores! The care and love put into every detail was clear. It’s rare to find a place this flawless, cozy, elegant, and truly restorative. In all our years of using Airbnb this is our favorite! We didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to return to this unforgettable lakeside retreat!

we had the pleasure and good fortune to stay at Lisa's home for an extended stay due to the ice storm. It and she were absolutely wonderful. couldn't ask for a better host ♡♡. thank you Lisa for everything you did for our family ♡♡♡

Very nice place, great location. We were minutes away from Tree Tops golf courses. Hope to do it again next year!

Enjoyed staying here. Good value and close to downtown. Will be back if we stay in Gaylord again.

Everything was perfect. Home looked as presented in the photos; it was extremely clean. Fully stocked with items that were needed. Very responsive and pleasant host. Thanks Brett

Beautiful home and a great host. Plenty of space for our group of 10. Close to all of the golf that Gaylord has to offer. Highly recommend.

This was our second time staying here, and we loved it just as much as the first! It was very clean, and they have thought of every possible thing that you could need throughout the house! We enjoyed the board games and the fire pit, as well as the beautiful kitchen! We will definitely be back!

Nicely refinished historical home. I used it for a work trip and it worked perfectly.

We really enjoyed our stay here. This rental is perfect for a couple or a family with small children - like us. It's less than a block from downtown Boyne City, so all of the restaurants and shops are within walking distance, while still being in a quiet and peaceful location. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting BC.

the private staircase to enter the space was our only struggle , only due to us needing a handicap accessible space. but we managed! the stairs were very sturdy and the handrail was as well. the parking was a bit rough ground as we got out, but again, we managed. overall we were happy with our stay, and the location was perfect for where we needed to be. thank you for a great stay!

We really enjoyed staying at Fawn’s place!! This was a top tier place! She thought of everything and provided so many extras like snacks, an assortment of drinks and even chocolates on the pillows. The decor was very well done and it was so clean and comfortable. It was a great spot to stay as we explored some of north Michigan. We slept well and the surroundings were very peaceful and quiet. We would stay here again without any hesitation. Fawn was quick to answer questions and help in any way. We enjoyed staying here very much!!

Our stay here was great for our little ski getaway! The house had everything we needed from a fully equipped kitchen, to a cozy living room to lounge in, to large, comfortable bed rooms. We even were able to bring our furry friend along with us. The host was very responsive, friendly, and flexible with check in. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it!

Tim was such an amazing host!! So friendly, and even offered for us to stay a little late due to late flight. I will be using him again! Such a great host!

Tamara’s place was just what we needed. Everything was as described perfectly and easy to find. Beds were comfortable and kitchen area was well set up. We ran out of TP and Tamara was very responsive and supplied us with more. We would definitely return for another stay.

Great stay at Brenda's place, it was my girlfriend's birthday and she left some decorations as well as a hand written card! Very sweet, 10/10 recommend

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

It was better than expected. The place was clean, amenities were thoughtful. Everything we needed was there. The host definitely had the guests best interest in mind. . Very pleased. 5 star host for sure.

There’s something magical about Shanty Creek. It’s our little escape each year, and this visit was just what we needed. Mornings with coffee, evenings with sunsets—those peaceful balcony views never get old. The space is cozy, calm, and always feels like a gentle pause from the world. It gave us room to breathe, rest, and just be. Cheryl was a fantastic host who communicated with perfect detail and the space was our perfect getaway. We are already dreaming of next year’s visit!

Everything was great, everything was clean, well organized and accurate according to descriptions. The hosts were good to communicate with and made sure we were comfortable and made sure we know they were available for any questions. They also checked in the morning after check- in to make sure everything was going well. Would recommend to anyone looking to travel to the area!

Very nice. Will stay again.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Mary was a very lovely host and was easy to contact and was quick to respond. You really couldn’t want anything more than this unit, you’re facing the lake, It’s quiet and has incredible sunrises. It’s really everything you need - especially for a couple. The kitchen was well equipped. Heat and AC, no problems. Everything was exceptionally clean!! I am really crazy about cleanliness and I can tell you I felt right at home here, I didn’t need to clean with my Clorox wipes to feel comfortable. You wouldn’t go wrong renting this unit. It was easy to get around from here we went to the tunnel of the trees, Mackinaw, Petoskey and Charlevoix and Harbor Springs. Lots of places to eat or you could stay at home and make dinner and use their grill. The grounds were very nice and very well kept! So what is my downside to this trip? Well the weather was too chilly, but I guess there’s no controlling that next time. I will know that this early in the season it’s a gamble on whether it will be wa

Amazing view!! Very helpful with things around to do! Clean!!

Great experience! First time going to Boyne mountain and was very surprised. I will be coming back for ski season!!
