Soulshine on Long Lake, dock, 100 ft of frontage.
We absolutely loved this property! The space was so clean, organized, and cozy. Not to mention the interior design was spot on! Every nook and cranky was decorated beautifully. It had everything we could have needed for the weekend. The view of the lake is spectacular, too. I will most definitely be booking here again in the future!

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!

NorthShore, Modern Cabin 656
Very modern space with all the amenities in quiet, natural surroundings. The home was in an area of upper Michigan that is in less-travelled with a quaint small town with good restaurants and small grocery store. All the more-travelled areas are in easy driving distance. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely consider going 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.

Urban Gem: Mins to Beach & Downtown W/Hot tub!
Where do I start… this was the perfect getaway for myself, my husband and our fur baby. The house was exactly as described and is placed in the most peaceful neighborhood - while also being minutes away from everything Traverse City has to offer! Ramy is the most wonderful host; answering all our questions and suggesting some great local spots as well. We felt immediately at ease and truly could enjoy our vacation thanks to Ramy and this perfect lil home. We hope to be back next time we visit Traverse City! ☺️

The Kaiser House *3 minutes to Down Town *Sleeps 8
Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

Lone Pine Cottage on Little Glen Lake
We had a great stay for our Mother’s Day overnight.

Woodland Trail House
This was the perfect stay for a family weekend up north! Loved how peaceful the area was, yet still an easy distance to Traverse City for food/activities. We also loved all the games and puzzles in the cabin! Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Vineyard Retreat Near Torch Lake
It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

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.

Downtown Boyne City upper level 10 min to Boyne Mt
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

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

West End Apartment
We were in town for the Bayshore Half Marathon and initially expected a group of five, but it ended up being just two couples. The condo was perfect for our group! The parking was clearly marked, and we had the place to ourselves. It was easy to access, and we even tried out the elevator. At first, we weren’t sure which building was ours since there are several nearby, but once we got our bearings, everything was smooth. The location truly can’t be beat — we were able to walk to almost everything! The views are absolutely stunning. I only wish we had better weather so we could have spent more time outside enjoying them. The condo itself was clean and comfortable, with just the right amount of space for the four of us. Having two bathrooms, a cozy living area, and separated sleeping spaces made our stay really comfortable. We’d love the chance to stay here again in the future!

Boho Loft Apartment
This place was amazing! Right by the action but still felt private. It has everything you need for a great stay. The hosts were responsive kind and flexible with us. Couldn’t have been better!!!

The Penthouse Suite
Location was perfect for all of the up north adventures like sleeping bear dunes, Leelanau Peninsula, hiking, golfing, and of course Lake Michigan. This spot was a perfect quiet retreat at the end of the busy days, and had stunning views! I would happily stay here again.

Crystal Lake Gem 2 15 mins to Crystal Mountain.
They are fantastic hosts and were lovely to be around. Absolutely on the short list for long weekends again in the future.
Lake access cottage rentals

Little Skip Cottage, on the Bay
Little Skip Cottage is perfectly located between Sutton Bay and Northport making it easy to enjoy what each area has to offer. Carolyn was quick to respond to our questions about the area and offered suggestions of hikes in the area. The cottage was welcoming and cozy and beautifully decorated. We were able to fix meals in the kitchen that was well stocked and loved all the little “extras” like a coffee bar, spices and condiments. We hope to return soon to one of our favorite places.

Cedar Creek Cottage lakefront near Boyne City
Such a beautiful place to stay. My Grandpa owned this property in the 70's and my family was happy to see how well maintained the cottage is and the nature that surrounds it. It was such a blessing for us to come back and visit. Thank you for taking such good care of it.

Sleeping Bear Cottage #2
Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

Waterfront Cottage in Elk Rapids, Michigan
