Holiday rentals with a kayak in Benzie County

Bryce was one of the best hosts that I have had the pleasure of staying at. He was very quick to answer any questions that I had and always polite to talk to. His description of the property was spot on and will definitely be a return customer if I make it back to the area in the future.

We absolutely loved our stay! This place was so cozy and welcoming—truly a perfect getaway spot. The amenities were amazing and everything was very well-kept and clean. We especially appreciated the two separate living quarters, which made it easy for our group to relax and spread out. The canoes were such a fun bonus—we had a great time on the river! The location is also ideal—just a short drive to great food spots and super close to beautiful Frankfort Beach. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Our group had an amazing stay in this beautiful home thanks to the friendly, responsive hosts. Would recommend without any qualifications.

We love crystal lake and this cozy place reminded us of what could’ve been granny’s lake house with a updated twist. Made us want to just move right in and live there. A weekend stay was not long enough by any means.

I have stayed with Lizzie 3 times for ski trips to Crystal Mountain and every experience has been great. ilI look forward to staying again in the future!

We so enjoyed our family trip here! It felt like a tree house upstairs looking out to trees and the lake. It was a cozy family room area. We had a great time kayaking in big Sanford lake. It was so peaceful on the weekdays we were there. Sometimes we were the only kayakers. It was close to Traverse City and we checked out Frankfort and Crystal Mountain too. Overall would recommend!

This was our second year one here and we will likely come again! So peaceful, comfortable and well stocked! The location is awesome. Easy to get to the wine country peninsulas which are beautiful! Sleeping bear dunes are also close and so cool! We enjoyed the short walk to general store and lake Ann brewery. Great hosts!

We had a great time staying here! The lake was gorgeous and peaceful, and the light/views that the windows brought in were unbeatable. We loved the access to kayaking equipment and Harry’s super fast responses any time we had questions.

Our 4 person vacation group had a great 3 night stay at Shirley's beautiful lakefront home. The view was spectacular and the house was clean, neat, comfortable and perfect. Shirley and ray greeted us at check-in, walked the property and house with us, and Ray gave us area history, recommendations and a map showing the best local beaches, restaurants, hikes and wineries. This house is highly recommend.

Shane was a great host, very responsive & helpful. Loved the access to the private beach.. about an 8 minute drive, it was beautiful. Loved all the water toys included as well! Would stay again!

This is our third year staying at this location. We feel right at home. This year we did lots of hiking at all the Reserves and spent lots of time at all the area beaches! We also kayaked across the lake to Lake Michigan. It was private and beautiful. It is always hard to leave when our vacation ends. Pam is really great at communicating.

Our family of 6 adults, 3 children and an infant had ample room and a wonderful stay at Nortons. Our 3 grandchildren under the age of 7 enjoyed playing in the sand, fishing from the dock and playing in the shallow clear water. My adult children enjoyed using the 4 Kayaks and 2 paddle boats, there is a row boat but we never used it. Everyone enjoyed the board games in the evening. location was close to amenities, looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Very comfortable and well-equipped. Loved the hot tub but wished it has some sort shelving around it to set your drinks and towels on. Also, a simple update - replace the screen/season doors would be nice. The location was incredible, spent a lot of time in Frankfort and drove up to Glen Arbor. Great get away.

Great cozy spot for New Years Eve. Will return! The snowfall on the river was beautiful.

Nice cabin on a quiet lake. Huge space for even the largest families.

Very spacious and comfortable place to stay. Wonderful location in Honor -- so convenient to Platte Lake, Platte River kayaking, Platte Beach, and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Kodiak Cabin is nearest the road, so a bit of road noise, but the spacious cabin was well worth it.

Great place, gave it five stars, it’s a nice cabin. Don’t expect luxury, this is a cabin, but clean and all amenities work well. Went with my family for an archery event at crystal mountain and it was 3 min from crystal mountain which made it great for naps for my 2yr old. I’d stay again!

This place is amazing! Most of the windows and porch have views of the lake. It was so peaceful, calming, and quiet. We saw trumpeter swans and other birds, amazing stars, and beautiful sunrises/sunsets from the dock. It is very close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and other trails/sites. It was a bit off season and during the weekdays so not sure how private it would be during the summer - but we had the place to ourselves :-). The cabin is compact but cozy. The 2 bedrooms have full sized beds - great for 2 single people or a couple with maybe 1 kid. I can't imagine 2 couples staying there though due to thin walls and not a lot of storage.

Loved this cabin on a quiet lake, close to Lake Michigan. Would definitely come again!

Huge deck with multiple places to sit. The view is incredible in the fall! Having free firewood was a nice perk.

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time here. The cabin was clean & comfortable and we loved being able to swim & kayak in beautiful Crystal Lake and enjoy a beach front camp fire just steps from our door. Walking distance to downtown Beulah was also a perk!
