Vacation rentals with a kayak in Spider Lake

Courtney was a great host and very responsive! The location was beautiful and has plenty to do for a winter getaway away. We loved our time here.

This was the perfect location to stay for our fall golf trip to Arcadia Bluffs. A beautiful home less than 20 minutes to the course. Highly recommended.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was beautiful.

My wife and I had a few days off for a fall break. Dennis' place was a perfect spot. The drive there and the surrounding woods were vibrant with color. The place was comfortable, well-suited for a short or long stay, and was stocked with plenty to do. The short path to the lake is great, and the dock provides a lovely view. We spent hours just sitting on the dock chairs reading. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days. We took the short drive into Traverse City to go to Trattoria Stella, one of our very favorite restaurants. We also took a short hike out back to connect to the Mt Minnie trail and thoroughly enjoyed that hike. Being minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Franfort was a perfect location. Our last evening, we went 15 minutes to Peterson Beach and watched the sun set and stayed to watch all the stars emerge in the darkness. It was amazing! We didn't, but we could have built a fire there on the beach.. We hope to return. Thanks Dennis!

If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Beautiful scenery and wild life.

Our stay at Dan's place was fantastic. This is the second time we have stayed here. The area is beautiful and it is hard to beat the waterfront view. Dan was extremely accommodating and very responsive. I would not hesitate to book this house again!

The host was so friendly, the views were beyond stunning. And I found a petoskey!! I wish I had never left!

The cottage was exactly what we expected, and more so. The view of the lake was just as spectacular in the morning as it was in the evenings!! Extremely comfortable, homey, and a great place to relax!! First time visiting Michigan, won't be the last. Thank you John & Melanie for providing such a wonderful place to stay!! Lynne & Bryan

The cottage was exactly what was advertised and the pictures were accurate. The cottage was very warm, inviting and clean. We had a great time on the water and the location was great to go to other areas such as Traverse City as well. Very nice property!

We had a lovely stay! The cottage was so cute and I just loved how they decorated it! We absolutely loved the hot tub and used it every day! We decided to walk down to the beach through all the snow, would love to stay in the summer when we can actually go swimming!! Ate at Peegeos twice during our stay, so close and so good, get the cheesecake! So delicious and made from scratch! We will definitely be back!

I asked my 9, 8 & 5 year old about the best part of our stay, and they all agreed that the hot tub, fire pit for s’mores and the board games were the best part. I enjoyed having a quiet space to get homework done with a view of the water. This was the perfect get away for a family of 5! We enjoyed staying inside, cooking meals & enjoying the house itself. It is beautiful inside and out, exactly like the photos and had everything we needed for our stay. We can’t wait to come back during the summer time to go out on the lake!

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!

It was a really great place to stay in and a beautiful location. Very clean and great amenities, would recommend to anyone traveling up to Houghton. We will probably reserve again when the time comes. :)

This was our first repeat Airbnb experience, we enjoyed Laurie’s place that much! It’s peaceful and the lake is lovely, no matter the time of year. Close to Short’s brewing and Schuss mountain, not far from Boyne, it’s quiet but still well located to have a great up north adventure. It’s also well stocked with toys and books, which is a great plus for our family! And Laurie is super responsive and kind. We might stay a third time!

Memory maker is a beautiful place in Elk Rapids. Peaceful, in front of the lake, excellent location to spend time with a small group of friends/family and 30 minutes away from Traverse city. Really charming and had all amenities for a quick getaway. Even in frosty temperatures, the place looks like a safe heaven.

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 log cabin was fabulous. It was perfectly appointed and, even though not quite warm enough outside just yet, Bar Lake made all stress subside.

What a beautiful home and perfect for a little weekend getaway! The stunning views, great location and cozy space made us feel right at home. We normally stay in the heart of TC when we visit, but we are so glad we decided to stay with Carlie. The home has all the necessary amenities and more.

Tom was great! he helped us out with a trailer issue, highly recommend staying here! will be going back again

The cabin on the river was a perfect fall getaway. It was very peaceful, the house was comfortable and perfectly matched all descriptions. The fire-pit out back made an absolutely lovely evening. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay.

The Hawk’s Nest was the best stay! First off, the cabin was incredible! Thoughtfulness and attention to detail throughout the cabin. We stayed for just a quick weekend but wished we could have stayed longer and definitely plan to go back! Hosts provided a detailed list of all sorts of local recommendations. They also checked in and it was super clear that their goal was for us to be completely satisfied with our stay! We loved it!

Was a very beautiful and peaceful place in the woods. The hot tub was super clean, very cozy fireplace area, and the whole set up was just gorgeous. We had a really great experience! We also loved how they are stocked with all the essentials like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, q-tips, and everything you would need. The host was very helpful and responded fast.

Quiet, clean, and cozy! A great weekend stay
