Holiday rentals with a kayak in Antrim County

stunning vacation home, great location, close to Boyne mountain and very cozy vibe

You will instantly fall in love with the quiet lakefront beauty and the breath-taking and welcoming home just 60 or so feet from the water. The main floor of the house is close to lake level making the drama of nature around you compelling and inspiring. The waterfront and waves lapping the stone and sand shore are visible from almost all the rooms of the house, and it's a short walk to River Street in Elk Rapids. Traverse Magazine readers voted River Street "in the top 10 of ‘Sweet Small-Town Main Streets in Northern Michigan.'” The pace of life is calming in this lovely town and in this beautiful home. Owner Bernadette and property manager Sam make you feel perfectly at home. Response time to messages is instant, polite, and friendly. There's so much enjoyment to be had for all ages here.

Beautiful home, and Sue was wonderful to work with!

very friendly host! House was big and we loved the big window as it snowed! It also had all kinds of toys and games, for in and outside.

I enjoyed the property thoroughly. I like that. It was very secluded and also the space with the home having five beds was very convenient 10 out of 10 would stay again.

Amazing house right on the water. It was beautiful. David was so helpful and made our weekend getaway fantastic

I've stayed at lots of places like Cindy's, but her friendliness, decor of the house and toys for the children put this place over the top. We will be back!!! Gorgeous views and lots of room on the wrap around deck. The grills were in excellent shape. Also the outdoor fire pit with the stone surround and path is very cool.

Comfortable and quaint, perfect for a weekend roadtrip around the Torch Lake area. Out to dinner then back for games and viewing the stars. Bright and clean!

We had a wonderful stay with our dog and two young kids. Beautiful location, full of amenities, and very comfortable. Shawn was very responsive, helpful, and had great recommendations. Highly recommend!

The house is so comfortable. closed to things we wanted to do and see. Great deck and dock. Kitchen was very well supplied. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My fiancé stayed here for a weekend with his friends and they had a great time! Tara was quick with responses and was a great host! :)

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!

We stayed here with our family of 6 for a February snowmobile trip. It’s cute and very clean. Very peaceful in the winter and plenty of parking even with a 33’ trailer. It’s a beautiful spot on the river. Summer and fall would be amazing for a family vacation. The owner was great with communication and making sure we were taken care of. We had no issues.

It was a lovely stay!! Perfect location. Would love to stay again

Nathan was a great host! He communicated so well and even had a gift for us upon arrival. If you're ever looking to have a ski trip to boyne mountain I'd highly recommend!

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

Absolutely loved our stay at this charming little cabin tucked away in the woods along the Rapid River. It was the perfect peaceful escape—quiet, cozy, and surrounded by nature. The sound of the river nearby was so calming, and the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell the hosts put a lot of care into making it feel warm and welcoming. If you’re looking to unplug and recharge, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

The house was perfect, very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and pots and pans. We would definitely recommend this place and will stay again if it’s available when we plan to come north.

So lovely. So peaceful. So beautiful. It's hard to overstate how wonderful it is to have Torch Lake before you every morning and watch the sunset over the lake every evening. This house is all about the lake, so just walk thru the back entry and kitchen and step into the livingroom. The light off the lake comes in every window and the lake is *right* in front of you. You'd never be able to build a cabin so close to the lake in this day and age. It fills the whole frame. My husband and I stayed at Nan and Ian's the first week in October. The temp was still up in the high 70s and the lake definitely swimmable. We hiked at the nature preserves near Alden -- one walking distance from the cabin, drove 45 mins to Traverse City for a very special dinner, and spent a LOT of time sitting on the deck reading books and listening to the lake. I also want to say that the cabin was absolutely clean, had everything you'd need for any possible occasion, and enough beds for a large family.

Great place for a family stay in Bellaire. The only negative is that the house has a bit of a musty smell.

Becca’s cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway. Very clean, well furnished and super cozy. The cabin is right on a beautiful lake, which was frozen, but still fun to see ice fishermen. The only issue we had when we first arrived is that we had to shovel our way up the stairs to get into the cabin. Thankfully, there was a shovel thoughtfully placed by the front door by the hosts. While we were there we had considerable amounts of snow (to be expected given the time of year!) and when we needed the driveway plowed, Becca was extremely responsive and had a plow over to the cabin within 15 minutes. My family and friends really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend! Thank you Becca for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Had an amazing time. The location is beautiful and the house itself was very nice. I would recommend to family and friends.

Few houses on Air BnB make me feel as at home as this house did! A beautiful house in a beautiful location. A Great place for our family vacation. The kitchen is stocked with everything that you may need. Very peaceful and private.

We really enjoyed our 4 days at Bob's They had the driveway totally cleared of snow and the house was clean and ready for us. We had no trouble with the passcode entrance. The kitchen was stocked very well and the appliances really high end. We used the oven all three nights and found even some extra spices we could use. My son made cookies with the grand girls and it worked out well because of the seats at the counter and the Island. The girls were able to make a huge snowman the first day in the back. We took advantage of the game room 2 different days and enjoyed the Fuse Ball, Air Hockey, Dart board, etc. Also we took advantage of the pool and each of us enjoyed the hot tub and slide. We took a sleigh ride out at the Cook Family Farm which was beautiful, and they were very nice. All in all we thought everything was wonderful. The number of baths and bedrooms worked out well us. Thanks so much! Donna and Gary Rinkenberger
