Cottage holiday rentals in East Bay Township

Will definitely be coming back next year! Beautiful all around

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

We had a great time at Torch lake. Ryan was a great host - very responsive who left very good instructions, recommendations for restaurants things to do in the area. The home is very clean and well supplied. The pontoon is very nice.

We stayed at this awesome cottage in northern Michigan for a golf trip with four guys, and it couldn’t have been better. The Airbnb is set on a ton of land—super peaceful and private, perfect for unwinding after long days on the course. The place was spotless, well-stocked, and everything was easy to navigate. One of the biggest highlights was the hot tub—absolutely clutch after walking 18+ holes each day. The host made everything simple with great communication and clear instructions from start to finish. It was one of those stays where everything just worked, which let us fully relax and enjoy the trip. Highly recommend this spot if you’re planning a golf getaway or just want a quiet place to chill with friends.

This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

Cannot recommend this host and this property enough. Nathan was communicative while we were still looking at the property, and responded quickly through the rest of the process until check out. He provided great recommendations for local places to try out and we had a peaceful stay. The property was roomier than expected for the master and cozy for the spare rooms, and we especially loved the living room and outdoor furniture. So happy to have found this gem of a place and excited to come back in the future!

We loved our stay at Hillview Haven and are already talking about when we can return! The house was perfect for our long weekend and the hosts have done a beautiful job with the space. It’s comfortable, well equipped and the views are amazing. Thank you for sharing this wonderful spot with us!

My family & I loved it . Everyone was content just staying at the cottage . Lol but we did check out A couple of the recommendations & they were very nice !! Great stay will definitely book again !!

The rental was perfect. Just big enough for the 6 of us. We had all the amenities available and needed nothing. The grocery store was just up the road so we packed light. We also utilized the washer/dryer which was handy. On Saturdays, there is the Merritt Speedway. Good for a laugh and beer. Don't forget to visit Tastey Treat. Beach is groomed/sandy and clear water for swimming. I could go on! Thank you and we look forward to coming back!, The Westlake's

Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

We really enjoyed our stay. When we first arrived, we wondered if we had picked the wrong location as it did not seem as close to things as we had thought, but after further investigation of the area, it was in a perfect spot. Hosts were very helpful and even flexible in changing the dates of our stay, and this pet friendly rental made it easy to travel with pets. The space was very clean and well stocked with things needed for the week. We would recommend this location to others. One of our favorite finds was the Three Trees Winery just up the road. It’s also in a great location to explore surrounding areas, like the Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear, Glen Arbor, Leland, Arcadia Bluffs Golf Course, and of course Traverse City. If you are trying to decide whether to visit the area and stay here, don’t hesitate (especially if traveling with pets).

We truly enjoyed our stay. The property was stunning! We wished for better weather to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boats, but that was nothing that could’ve been controlled. We did enjoy a fire in the pit. The lake view was beautiful. Jake was very pleasant and made sure we were taken care of. Thank you!

I wish I would have booked my stay for longer, and I had this place booked for two months. The privacy and views here and around, are unmatched and for the rates it is a no-brainer. There are trails within minutes and plenty of places to set off in a kayak or canoe. Lakes galore. Plenty of fun summer activities. The hosts were very kind and polite, and spoke to me like I was a person rather than a tenant for any amount of time. Best AirBnB experience I have ever had. Thank you guys. Hopefully I can make it back again sometime

Great place! We had a great time and loved the S'mores and small touches added to the house :)

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

Great place to stay for our group of 4 while playing some of the nearby golf courses. Exactly as advertised, and the path down to the river through the woods felt like true "Up North."

Our stay at Little Skip Cottage was peaceful and just what we needed. A great little spot for two! The kitchen is well equipped for an Airbnb, which was great for us because we love to cook. The private beach and wooded surrounding are beautiful and the perfect environment to relax. Northport and Suttons Bay are not far at all for going out, getting groceries etc.

We absolutely loved our stay at lil gem, it was just far enough off the grid that allowed us to relax, but still let us explore michigan! Jeri was super helpful and responsive to all of our needs as well! Definitely the perfect spot for a peaceful romantic getaway! We’ll be back!

Beautiful peaceful place , private and easy to find , clean, neat . I loved it only suggestions is bring spray for the nats inside they were annoying it was better sitting outside no bug problems. Lol 😆 🤣

Saying Charlie & his IMMACULATE cottage qualifies him as a "Super Host" is an understatement! We truly can't say enough good things about his communication, his beautiful home & location!ALL of our expectations were exceeded & we have never stayed in a cleaner place! My husband & I were with 2 other couples & we all brought our e-bikes. Having the lovely 18+ mile Tart Trail (that extends from Traverse City to Suttons Bay) & access to it from their side yard was a HUGE PLUS! Now let's talk about SOME of the ENDLESS things we enjoyed at Charlie's house-amazing & comfy bedding, linens & cushy carpet in the bedrooms, well equipped kitchen with SHARP knives for those of us who enjoy cooking/slicing & chopping, big screen TVs in all 3 bedrooms & family room of course, the fun game room - EVERYTHING looks brand new & matches-love the decor & all their comfortable furniture-so inviting! He even had a welcome basket of snacks & bottle of wine for us on arrival! The list is endless! TY Charlie!

Great place / location. Easy access to surrounding attractions. All as desribed in posting. Would absolutely stay here again.

This is an amazing property with a remarkable view over the lake. It is a very tranquil location and it is easy to feel close to nature. The cabin is very well appointed and was perfect! The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a five star property and experience. Highly recommended!

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but close enough to the city and to the peninsula to enjoy that as well. Shannon was a wonderful host and was responsive to our needs. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we hope to come back and stay again for more fun along the river!

True North at Higgins Lake is a great find. It is immaculately clean with special touches like local art and a well stocked bathroom and kitchen. Beds and linens are nice like what you’d expect in a higher-end hotel. Just a short walk to the lovely Higgins Lake and a fire pit to enjoy s’mores. Natalie provides exceptional, unfussy instructions. We felt very comfortable there.
