Lake house vacation rentals in Traverse City

The house was just as described. The hosts were very responsive to messages. The kitchen had what we needed to cook meals. There was lots of extra,unexpected, things that were great. The makeup remover pads, all of the soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, even detergent were all provided. Plus there was plenty of hot water for 5 adults to shower. Our pups loved the fenced yard. The view is exactly like the pictures show. We would definitely recommend! Heather & Joe

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!

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!

Kari's home on Lake Michigan was wonderful in every way. The property surrounding the house is beautifully landscaped with lovely plants, flowers and tall trees. Much attention to detail was apparent throughout the home. The gorgeous art, accessories, and decor were impeccable. It was apparent that in the decor she kept the historical integrity of a house built in the 1970's while adding a modern & elegant touch. Kari was completely responsive to all questions and concerns. The kitchen, house and garage were stocked with anything you could possibly need or want on a family vacation. The view, the beach, the surroundings couldn't have been more perfect. We would love to have the opportunity to enjoy this home again in the future.

Excellent lake house. Amazing views. Great amenities including a wonderful screened in porch, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, life jackets and plenty of toys. The house was immaculately clean on our arrival and exactly as it appears in the pictures. Very friendly neighbors as well!

Empire Beach House was amazing! The location was convenient and easy to find. It’s next to the public beach and boat launch, but noise and traffic one would expect were a non-issue—just low key, friendly locals who respected the private beach and took great pride in the natural beauty of the area. The house itself is spotless, incredibly organized, very comfortable and beautifully decorated with high quality furnishings and appliances. The views from the deck overlooking Lake Michigan and the Dunes to the North and South were jaw dropping. Spent more time there than anywhere else. We highly recommend the Empire Beach House for families and friend groups of 4-6 ppl. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

This was without a doubt a stunning property. From the beautiful creak and beach in the backyard, to each bedroom and entertainment spaces. The views were incredible, I still cannot comprehend how amazing it was to be on the water but so close to town and the wineries. There was so much to do, we wish we got to stay longer. Tristan was a very great host and was very flexible with our check in and responded very fast to any and all concerns. I will definitely be coming back, especially with some warmer weather to enjoy the beach and campfire.

We really enjoyed our mothers day weekend at your place. Very peaceful and relaxing.

My family loved this cabin. It was one of our favorite AirBnBs. Beautiful backyard and hiking trails. Cool and funky decor. The front porch was nice to drink coffee on in the mornings. We took a peaceful canoe ride. Kitchen was supplied and everything was clearly labeled. Thank you for the stay.

We stayed for a weekend with family and our fur babies and had an amazing time. Courtney let us check in earlier which was nice of her and we got to enjoy the water. The water was just as described crystal clear. House was super clean and cozy. We will definitely stay again next year.

House was just perfect. It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Reasonable distance from Traverse City and attractions such as Sleeping Bear dunes. Amazing surroundings and environment. Comfortable beds too. The hot spa was a bonus. Thank you for the gift of wine and Cherry Republic chocolate! Both locally made! We enjoyed our stay!

Easily one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve been to. Jim was very responsive and kept us informed, and his assistant Jenny was there at check in to show us a tour of the house. The attention to details was amazing, and we felt like it was a home away from home. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the Traverse City area.

The place was a perfect stay for our day of golf at Arcadia. Hosts were great and responded quickly with anything we need. Including checking on things we potentially left behind. They could not have been more spot on referring us to Grille 44 for drinks and dinner, walkable if you’re up for it. 10/10 would stay here again!

Book it! Go enjoy the state parks, higgins lake, the zoo, miles of trails for bikes or walking and have a beautiful place to call home for the night. Food and ice cream all over the area. It's the kinda of place where they make you pump your gas befor you pay. Took my boat and overall it was just a great time! The place is clean and quiet. I doubt you will be disappointed.

I can’t recommend the Cherry Pit enough - the home is beautiful, the view is great, and the private pier is so nice to have! My kids went kayaking and swimming in the lake (even though it was chilly!) - so nice to have this option. The hosts are fantastic and provided so many extras like Keurig pods, laundry soap, etc. I loved this place, thank you for hosting us!

You just can't beat that view! Th house was clean and great for our group of 8. kitcheh and bedrooms weren't fancy or updated, but they were perfectly nice and the 1960s vibe worked! It was great to have the beach amenities like kayaks and a fire pit with chairs. It was easy to get up old mission peninsula for wineries and views and easy to get to town for dinner and the farmers market! Would definitely stay again.

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!

Fred and Jacqui’s place was perfect. The pictures really don’t show how beautiful and spacious the place is. It’s close to downtown, but also private with plenty of outdoor activities, with equipment all provided for. They were extremely responsive to all questions and reminded us of various things we could while staying. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

We were lucky enough to spend Memorial Day Weekend at Innisfree. We had 3 kids and 5 adults and all had plenty of space. Beds are comfortable, kitchen has everything you needed even quality pots and pans. We loved the panoramic views from the living room and deck. Beach is large and peaceful, perfect for watching the sunset over sleeping bear dunes.

The stay was amazing. Troy was super responsive as well for all of our needs. Couldn’t recommend a place or better location. 10/10

This spot is such a gem, and so is Fran! Highly recommend staying here, every detail is thought out which makes a little vacation so easy! The views are gorgeous!

Robert's place was great for us. Ended up being just 4 people, so it was way more space than we needed. Would have been comfortable with a much bigger group as well. We loved that it was equipped with all necessary kitchen and bath items and we absolutely loved that we were asked specifically NOT to strip beds, do laundry, fold towels, etc. We'll return.

Jennifer's house has a beautiful location on Bass Lake, and we took full advantage of the kayaks and canoe, and the dock for reading/relaxing. It's spacious and well organized, and close to Traverse City. Very clean, very quiet neighborhood. It made a great central location for exploring the sites (and we much appreciated the well-stocked s'mores welcome basket). We would certainly come back when in the area!

The house was clean and comfortable for 4 adults. We loved the location and everything provided. The house had a great outdoor area. It was all we needed for our stay in Cadillac.
