4.93 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsLake front. Outdoor paradise.
Very nice cottage in a beautiful setting, accomodated our three couples well. The location is quiet and a little remote. We went on the Baraga County UTV Waterfall ride, and the ride to roland gravel pit 25 minutes, less than a previous year staying near Lanse. Would stay here again - would have extended our stay if it wasnt booked. Thank you, Matt!

Aaron's space was perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway into nature. Everyone on the trip loved the relaxing views, which could be seen from multiple outdoor areas as well as from within the house itself. Aaron has thoughtfully provided just about everything you could need to fully enjoy the space, including a complimentary paddle boat and the option to rent kayaks. My husband and I were able to take our kayaks out and enjoy the beauty of the lake. At night, the fire pit and hot tub only added to the sereness and relaxation of the space. Best yet, the pet friendly nature of this stay made it hassle-free to bring our dogs; who got to enjoy the new surroundings! We would certainly stay again!

We Airbnb frequently these guys figured it out. From the custom mugs they give as a gift to the scented towels. This place had it all and then some. FULLY stocked house, felt like home. Loved the lake views and the open floor plan. Nice touch with a s’mores kit when you arrive. Would definitely come again and highly recommend this place if your looking in that area. Can’t say enough!

5 out of 5 average rating, 18 reviewsPrivate Lakefront with 4 boats! Peak fall colors!
We stayed at Andrew and Jena's lake cottage for an Autumn family weekend trip and we absolutely loved it!! We all talked about how much we loved how cozy it felt right from the start. There is a lot of attention to detail and so many beautiful features to enjoy! Everything was very clean and thoughtfully prepared. The lake is so pristine and fishing in it was wonderful! We caught both bluegill and bass. We were able to enjoy the water a little even though summer is over because the weather was so lovely. My son loved playing in the sand with the toys they had, the treehouse and paddleboat. We loved our time there and nobody wanted to head home. Andrew and Jena, were incredible hosts, who were very responsive and answered any question I had very quickly. Their directions and check-in information were so detailed and I knew everything ahead of time so we could plan for the day. We can't wait to come back! Thank you again!

I always say you can tell how comfortable your host wants you to be by the quality of the toilet paper. These people care! The place was better than the pictures, a literal paradise. We absolutely loved our stay and wished it was much longer.

We stayed at Alison’s Cottage as a long weekend getaway to celebrate my birthday. When I say this cottage is the coziest, most charming cottage, I mean every word! The home is as exactly pictured. The location tranquil and picturesque. And so very close to downtown Charlevoix. I look forward to coming back for another stay! Highly recommend. :)

5 out of 5 average rating, 99 reviewsThe Boathouse (w/ fireplace and hot tub)
This is our second time staying at the Boathouse. The location is convenient and peaceful. Linden is a cute town just a couple minutes walk away, there is a coffee shop, and Shirley's diner just a but further down the road, perfect for breakfast. Fenton is another great town about 12 minutes away, with lots of restaurants and shopping must go to Crust for their baked goods. Holly is the next town over from Fenton and it too has an amazing downtown area, lots of antique shops. Just like our last visit, Brandy and Don have everything there you could need. The views are gorgeous both in the summer and in the fall, the river is right outside your door! Thanks again for everything, I'm sure we'll be back!

A vacation for a private get away was perfect for this spot. Off Sean was the best due to a long things being out for the season and gave us a lot of privacy and time to be outside and enjoy little things. Enjoy the best of both worlds of the beach and mountain fall colors.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay here. Such a beautiful property! It was quiet and serene. The inside was spacious but comfortable, we felt right at home! Since it was a little chilly when we went, I was still able to enjoy the views of the lake from the couch with a cup of coffee. Brenda is a great host, very responsive, provided clear instructions, and ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

Jenna’s cabin sits in between two homes and behind the cabin is a beautiful lake. The cabin was well maintained and had options for near by activities and food! My fiancé and I were booking this as a last minute birthday get away for him and we loved every second.

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 132 reviewsMasters Retreat-Pictured Rocks nearby!
My husband and I spent 3 days here for our wedding anniversary and explored Pictured Rocks! Pictured Rocks was 20 mins away from the cabin. We drove 4 mins to the General Midway Convenience Store to get basic items like eggs and bread but got our big dinner items at Pam’s Foods in Munising (20 mins from the cabin). The cabin was very cozy and felt like a home away from home! Everything was clean and well-taken care of. The lake view was beautiful (especially in the fall) and my dog loved sitting out on the porch. It was easy to find and is tucked away in the woods, very peaceful and serene. It was a very easy check in and out. We would definitely come back!

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviewsBayshore Waves | On Lake Michigan | Pet Friendly
Our family of 7 (parents with four grown children plus infant) just spent a wonderful four days at Bayshore Waves and can report the home is better than advertised. Great, spacious layout with 2 living levels both featuring walls of windows looking out onto the bay. Great outdoor deck areas with boardwalk directly to the beach. All amenities are provided and the place is super clean. The setting is beautiful and bottom line is you never need to leave the property & beach but, as others have mentioned, don’t forget to check out Shorts Brewery and Ethanology. Finally, Luke was great to work with and we hope to return.

5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsEscape To Cranberry Lake
Had a wonderful stay at Cranberry Lake cottage. Cute and cozy and had everything we needed and then some! Nice touches with items for our dog and coffee/tea/hot chocolate selections. We traveled to Mt Pleasant, Houghton Lake and Clare - all within 30 minutes of the cottage. After a day exploring it was nice to relax in the hot tub and later sit by the fire. We slept great with such a comfy bed!! Super cute cottage, super great hosts!! Would definitely stay here again!!

This place was all we wanted and more! We brought our cat along and he had a great time. There were plenty of extra pillows, blankets, and towels. If you forgot something there’s a 99% chance it’s here! I loved the property too, it’s beautiful in the fall. The dock was up at the lake when we visited, but the view was worth it!
