Cottage vacation rentals in The Sleeping Bear

We had a great time at Salma’s cabin! Everything was accurately depicted in the photos and between the included games and the hot tub we were able to spend an entire day just at the cabin. The location is excellent, you’re able to feel secluded but still close enough to Traverse City that you can run to town to grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. It’s a perfect location for checking out the city or exploring the wineries. Check in was easy and Salma was available should we have needed anything!

I booked this beautiful home after my first reservation and host cancelled on me due to the storms. Well, I can say… we are so happy with our stay. It was exactly as described and even better than expected. April really is a one of a kind host, so good that I had to take notes for my own Air bnb adventure. She thought of everything! I’ve never had a better stocked kitchen. We always cook and make a big meal and we sure did not want for anything. We were even greeted with a local baked good and extra sheets and blankets for the dogs. These hosts were the best I’ve had in Michigan, if not the whole country. I’m thankful for people who truly consider someone’s stay and thinks of it all. Thank you again to the hosts. The Cabin was spotless and one of my favorite features was the deer lights.

Loved this place, everything was great! Would recommend it to anyone! Larissa was very friendly and helpful on any questions!

We had a lovely stay! The cottage was so cute and I just loved how they decorated it! We absolutely loved the hot tub and used it every day! We decided to walk down to the beach through all the snow, would love to stay in the summer when we can actually go swimming!! Ate at Peegeos twice during our stay, so close and so good, get the cheesecake! So delicious and made from scratch! We will definitely be back!

The host was very friendly and quick responding. Location is beautiful. Cool little cabin on the lake. Very well stocked with utensils, glassware, and games.

We loved staying here for a little weekend getaway! Dorene and John were so helpful and kind. The place was awesome so close to everything! Everything was so cozy and well put together, the hot tub with view is awesome!! We for sure will be back

We had a great time with family, 4 couples. The house was clean and very comfortable. The beds were cozy. Beautiful, private space right on the trails. Andreia was friendly. Very easy to check in and out. Highly recommend.

this place was a perfect getaway. the area of down town traverse city is amazing even when it’s cold out. lots of restaurants and wineries to go try. the cabin itself was super cute and cozy but still a modern finish. the hot tub was amazing and made the cabin whole. i absolutely would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to travel to traverse city.

Melanie was a fantastic host with a beautiful home. She was so very helpful in a really difficult situation. She was proactive with a lot of helpful information, responsive when we had questions, and was understanding when we had to leave early. This place would be wonderful to visit in the summer when we're on an actual vacation. Great access to the park and lake, the yard was great for our kids and dogs. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a nice small town getaway.

The cottage was perfectly appointed- the bedrooms were the perfect size and setup, the bathroom was super nice and clean, the kitchen had all the right utensils- everything worked just right! In Lake Leelenau downtown is a one minute walk from the cottage. Everything else is a short drive - the lake, Leland, Traverse and other local destinations. We are already looking forward to our next stay!

The cottage was cute and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Great location! Sherri was a great host! Thank you for a great stay!

Was very nice to get away and just relax. There was a storm hitting the area and very cold and windy but the home was very comfortable. Felt at home and will definitely be back over the summer!

Spider Lake Cottage is a gem! Quiet ,peaceful and beautifully decorated. Nikki has truly thought of everything to make the guests' stay PERFECT! The kitchen is well stocked. The view of the lake through the windows is so pretty. Our Lab,Louis loved watching the squirrels and chipmunks in the trees and on the ground. There were also 2 ducks that made a few visits. We came during the early spring so we used the remote controlled fireplace while we read , played games and watched TV. We enjoyed cooking, drinking wine and turning on the twinkle lights at night. Thanks for a great stay. Jeff and Heather Dahl

We had a wonderful time in Charlevoix! The house was perfect for two people plus a dog! The backyard was amazing and private, and the location was perfect to walk downtown and through the neighborhood. Oksana was very helpful and friendly, we loved the fresh bread and eggs for breakfast, and recommendations of nearby places to go. We’re hoping to come back again. Great place!

We had a great time staying at Alissa’s. Plenty of space to hang out and enjoy the views of the beach and water. Beds and bathrooms worked great for 6 adult guests. Plus, you can’t beat the location to wine and cider tastings. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Alissa.

The cottage was nice and cozy and we had a wonderful time and our pup loved it too! Close to everything and very convenient. Nikki, the host, was wonderful and we had a wonderful stay!

Wonderful stay. Super clean and beautifully decorated. Nice outdoor area to sit around fire. Definitely recommend.

Our stay at the little yellow cottage was the peaceful retreat we were looking for. Cute, quirky and fun little place with all the essentials. Restful and still close to the busy happenings of Ludington. Erica was proactive and any questions that came to mind were found in the listing.

Very nice stay. Great communication from Evan, beautiful lake house, clean and well organized, and an amazing all season room overlooking the lake. Thank you for sharing your home, Evan!

Probably the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. John and his wife were kind and quick to respond to our questions. While they live on the property, we did not see them at all during our stay. The water front makes it extremely enjoyable and the lake is quiet. They checked in with us and always made sure we had everything we needed. We will absolutely be back to this rental, hopefully for longer next time!

Great little cottage. Loved the location and the proximity to town. Everything we needed. Will definitely return hopefully when it isn’t cold and rainy so I can enjoy the beautiful screened porch and nice yard/firepit.

Great, quite location. Well equipped and clean. Our dog loved the big yard to run while we relaxed on the nice deck. It's very dark at night, take a big basket for all the stars. Loved it, thanks Michelle

Great place to unwind and relax! Ellsworth Lake is such a beautiful spot and holds many memories for our family.

This cottage was absolutely perfect for a long weekend getaway with my husband. The location was centrally located between Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Traverse City. The cottage itself was so unique and I loved the decor! It felt so cozy! The more you looked around (both inside and outside) the more you found! I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
