Stay on Main, lovely 1 bedroom renovated unit
Very convenient to downtown.

Lake City Landings Unit 1
Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

Relax On Beautiful Silver Lake Near Traverse City.
My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Jane & Zach's Guest Suite
We were very happy with our stay and will definitely visit again!

Luxury on Chandler Lake, with kayaks! Close to TC!
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

LIfe is Better At The Lake: Kathy's on Spider Lake
We were thrilled to find a last minute cancellation at this hidden gem for our labor day weekend trip! Kathy's directions were very thorough. The best part was that she included the use of all of her water toys in the rental - there were two stand-up paddle boards, numerous kayaks and a big rectangular floating pad that the kids loved. The biggest island in the center of Spider Lake is a very doable paddle from there. This property faces north on the lake which is the perfect vantage point to see the Aurora Borealis if the conditions are right, which they were for our time! This has been on my bucket list, so I am beyond thrilled! The stars are amazing too! We all felt comfortable inside and my husband said he had one of the best sleeps he's had in a long time. The kids loved the loft beds. We just wish that the spiders of Spider Lake weren't so abundant on the docks, so our arachnophobic girls could relax more, but there's not much that could have been done about them.

Downtown Newly Remodeled Apartment | AC | Beach |
This was a great place to stay while at Traverse City. It was clean, conveniently located, and Troy was very responsive. I really enjoyed my stay.

Shanty Creek-Private Beach Club
It was a great place to stay while we were in town for a wedding! Seems to be the perfect jumping off point for so many wonderful areas in northern Michigan! Sparkling clean and fresh, loved it!

All Season Cottage on Manistee Lake -Pet Friendly!
Sarah is so kind to offer late checkout, which helps us a lot due to the late arrival from a car accident. The place is so nice and good view and access to the lakeside, we had a good morning time. And the kids enjoyed a lot the different kinds of toys. It’s a place I would be recommended to my friends.

Dream Vacay: Clam Lake Cottage w Torch Lake Access
The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

Splendid 4BR/2BA Torch Lake/Bellaire Home, Sunsets
We stayed at this Torch Lake Airbnb for our annual family vacation. The house had a private dock with direct access to the lake and the entire location was the definition of tranquility. We had an amazing time relaxing and enjoying what Torch Lake has to offer. Further, the batteries in the touch sink died (resulting in the sink not working) at the beginning of our stay, but the hosts were very responsive and remedied the situation quickly. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely love to return one day!

East Bay Paradise On the bay! Dogs welcome
Carrie was an amazing host from booking the reservation to making sure check out was a breeze. She was so accommodating and friendly, I felt like I was talking with a friend. The home itself is beyond describable. Every room was immaculate and the backyard views will be something we never forget. Our 2 dogs enjoyed the big, private beach and water! I’m so happy we decided to spend our last vacation as a family of 3 here! We are already planning our next visit with Carrie when the baby arrives. I can’t say enough good things about this place!!!! We highly recommend this home!

Loon Point Lakehouse | Swim | Boating | Wineries!
Me and the boys had bachelor weekend at Jason’s house! The pictures still don’t explain the full picture, the house is simply GORGEOUS. I will recommend Jason’s house to friends and family and will be back anytime I visit TC! Thank you Jason for letting us use your home.

Beautiful Log Cabin on The Bay
Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed
Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

Charming Waterfront Haven on West Bay
Corey’s place was perfect for our needs. We loved being able to pull into the garage and let our dogs out directly into the fenced yard. The home was beautiful, very clean and had a wonderful layout. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen and bathrooms, there were even games. We enjoyed the beach access and the sunrise and sunset views. I really hope get another chance to stay here.

Lakefront Resort Retreat-Pontoon & SUP Rentals
Great place to stay. Beautiful setting. Nice place. Plenty of room.

New, Downtown Condo with Patio (Best Location)!
Overall very functional apartment for a couple in a desirable location. Very clean and decent amenities. Easy check in and check out. Comes with parking spot which is essential in that location. Fairly quiet. Door lock is somewhat finicky and took 2-3 tries to open door.

The location was amazing, very peaceful for it being right in downtown TC. I would go back for another stay!

Beachside 213 Luxury Condo on the Beach

We stayed here for the Iceman bike race. It was a great location for our needs. Mike was proactive and gave us all instructions needed for check-in well in advance. Place was as described and had everything we needed. Would recommend!

Amazing time, great location and just what we needed during our stay in downtown, will be back again! :)
