OPEN ALL YEAR! Kayaks! PONTOON BOAT! Gameroom!
family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

Long Lake Therapy-HotTub/FirePlace&Pit/AC/ByBeach
Clean, quiet and an unusually well stocked kitchen! the hot tub was fantastic too. great home base for exploring the Traverse City area. would stay again!

Large beach front property. 3 Kayaks Included!
The lake house was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. Plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of blankets and pillows. The lake was beautiful and the kayaks were really nice to have. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Log Cabin on The Bay
I stayed in the house with a few girlfriends for a weekend trip and we had a blast! The house was very accommodating to a larger group. Colleen was very proactive with information before we arrived which made the checkin process a breeze. We will be back!

The Cherry Pit on Long Lake
We stayed for almost a week in late October to enjoy some hiking and the fall colors. The house was very clean and was very well stocked with towels, kitchenware, etc. Beautiful and well maintained house. Would absolute stay here again.

Sun Bear Lakehouse - Lake Leelanau
What a great spot! Chris was a wonderful host and the house is beautiful. Perfect fit for two families. We cooked meals and enjoyed the view!

The Lake House
Such a cute little cottage and perfect for our girls getaway. We will consider coming back in the future. It’s pretty unassuming when you drive up, but the inside of the house is so cute. We also couldn’t figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace, but that wasn’t a huge deal! Definitely recommend.

Panoramic Point
We loved this home. Perfect for our sibling wkend. The home was very accommodating. We had everything we needed. Plenty of Living space. Loved the kitchen. The deck & all the furniture plentiful. A Firepit, khakis if you want to be on the water. Plenty of bedrooms, linens & beach towels. You won’t be sorry with your stay. The location is perfect between Traverse City to Suttons Bay the other direction. I would recommend a new coffee pot for the kitchen. It takes a long time to brew.

Vineyard Retreat Near Torch Lake
It was absolutely beautiful. The trees had just changed colors and it was such a nice view! It was quiet and private. During business hours, you can hear the wine tasting room but that didn’t bother me at all. We stopped in and the staff were super friendly and helpful. So happy to have visited. Highly recommend!

Private sandy beachfront on the West Bay in TC
Angela’s place was amazing! When we walked in, we were in awestruck by how classy the furniture selections and decorating were. Also, this was probably the cleanest Air BNB we have stayed in. Angela was very communicative, and she provided great recommendations for places to dine. We enjoyed the fire pit one evening, with the reflection of the full moon over the bay…so cool! We would love to come back to the area, and this place will certainly be our first choice for places to stay!

Studio apartment downtown Elk Rapids.
We loved being right in the heart of it all - walking distance to the beach, the marina, plus the many eateries in the downtown area. The space was clean and quaint and we were pleasantly surprised that there was a small sun porch we could sit in to drink our coffee and watch passersby. We were planning to eat out so it was no trouble for us that this studio was not equipped for any cooking. We did have a nice mini fridge with a freezer for drinks and snacks. As soon as we arrived in town we watched the sunset at the marina and saw the northern lights immediately afterward! Guess it just worked out that night. Stacy was excellent with communication both by phone call and text. The shower was nice and hot but be aware there is a curtain dividing the bathroom rather than an actual door. Would highly recommend WaterFire winery a short 10 minute drive away. We love all of the water views in the area and walking to everything so we would be pleased to stay here again.

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!

Luxurious Firehouse Apartment in Downtown Traverse
We absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful place, so much room, conveniently located. Hope to come back in the future!

East Leland Cottage - 1 min Walk to Lake
David and Nicole were exceptional hosts. They were extremely responsive and genuinely vested in a comfortable and pleasurable stay. Their attention to detail, well equipped accommodations made my stay better than my own home. Everything in its place and easy to find. I stay in Airbnb’s all over the country and this is easily top 3 and they have a very happy repeat client as long as they will have me. Thanks for an excellent experience David and Nicole. Looking forward to my next stay! Frank

The Clark House
This place was perfect! It was VERY clean, in addition to smelling wonderful. The furniture was clean/not worn and comfortable, beds comfortable and nice pillows (firm and soft - quality ones too). The bathroom and kitchen were both fully stocked. They thought of all the things you could need and we appreciated the extra supplies (garbage bags, dishwasher soap, paper towels, etc.) We even grilled steaks on the gas grill a sat on the back patio on a chilly fall night. The place was convenient to Suttons Bay and the surrounding towns. We ate at the local bar, had coffee at the coffee shop, and went to the winery (not our fav, but liked the atmosphere). Brooks was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. The remodeled apartment is one of the best! We will definitely be back and will book again.

Short walk to the beach. Convenient location!
Our second time staying here. Very clean and neat. Super close to the horse park and the beach. Host is always responsive within a few minutes. Will definitely stay again.

Long Lake Getaway near TC
Our family felt right at home. My favorite part of the stay was watching the sunsets and sitting and the dinner table watching the lake sparkle in the sun. Fred was so friendly and listened to what I said. I mentioned how we love bbqing on the Weber grill and he remembered that and had charcoal out and ready to go for us. He didn’t have to do to at but he did to make us feel welcomed and it did! Kitchen has everything we needed to cook and there was lots of room for family time and games.

Private Waterfront Cottage | Lake Michigan Beach
Beautiful location. Nice, older style cabin. Very clean. Hosts were very nice and great communicators. Beach was beautiful and private. Super clear water; found a number of Petoskey stones and saw some nice rainbow trout swimming around. Would definitely visit again

Voneda Place on Elk Lake- South Cottage
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!

Lovely Silver Lake Cottage
Great little cozy cottage in a secluded community. Stayed here in early April so didn’t get to take advantage of the beach/gazebo/firepit, but they looked very nice. Nice location close enough to the city but is off the main drag. Would love to stay here again!

Stream-side Cottage by Lake Leelanau Beachfront
Sweet space with walkability to a stunning view of Lake Leelanau. Easily able to drive to local “hot spots” like Suttons Bay, Leland, Northport, Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. All the peninsula's wineries and cideries are within a short drive and so are some of the most incredible hiking paths. The space is quaint with everything you might need for a visit. My favorite was the fireplace and the stream just out the front door…the sound of it was delightful. The backyard space is vast and a wonderful place for a bonfire! You’ll enjoy your time here.

Cozy Beachside Retreat on Lake Arbutus
Very easy check in. The house had everything you needed. Nice stay

Summer Sand & Fun Beachfront Traverse City Cottage
We had a wonderful time staying in the cottage. Its spacious, cozy, and has all the amenities you would need. The beach front is beautiful and right across the street. We loved the view from the front room as well. Special thanks to Jeff for being a great host. We loved all his recommendations! The neighbors are also wonderful and friendly. We hope to be back here soon!

Cottage 5 at Paradise Pines Resort in Elk Rapids
Really cool place and very peaceful! Enjoyed the surroundings a lot, and the cabin was totally updated and nice inside. Across the road is a cool sculpture park whish borders the beach. It's a great place to be, right in Elk Rapids.
