Cottage rentals with a hot tub

A Short's Walk - Lakefront w/ Spa & Kayaks!
Responsive and hospitable, Gorgeous lake views, great accommodations, including hot tub, bicycles, kayaks, fire pit, renovated kitchen. Private and peaceful. Easy access to downtown Ell Rapids.

4 bd / 3 ba light front home
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!

A-Frame | Lakes, Trails & Sleeping Bear Dunes
What a great stay! I love an A frame and this house was perfect. It was well stocked - even had plenty of wood for the fire pit. The s'mores welcome kit was perfect. I will say that if you have a hard time with stairs then this house probably isn't for you because the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs but Carrie has several other homes to choose from. It really is peaceful. There are neighbors but they are quiet and we only saw one set of neighbors the three days we were there. The dirt roads to the house weren't bad either. I will stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Actually am seriously considering taking my 3 college age daughters for a girls' weekend.

Torch Lake Waterfront w/ Hot Tub & Pontoon Rental
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.

Magical Northern Michigan Cottage with Hot Tub
Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
Anna was a great host! Very responsive and reached out to see if we needed anything. Her cottage is super clean, cozy, and the tranquility of the location can’t be beat. We shall return!

Scenic Lakefront Near Ski/Golf with Hot Tub
This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

Arbutus Lake Cozy Cabin-Pontoon Rentals Available
We had an amazing stay! The space was exactly as described - clean, stylish, and cozy. It was an ideal location, close enough to shops, restaurants, and trails, but still tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. Would recommend!

Modern + Cozy | Near Beach | Pets | Extra Parking
I loved this Airbnb! It was a perfect size and was beautiful. Super close to town yet still felt like we had a quiet neighborhood to stay in as well. Our host was the sweetest and communicated so well with us. If I ever need to come back to lake city, I would love to stay here again!

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

we had a wonderful visit. Will be back soon!

*HighlyRated* WalkToLake *OutdoorShower* ManCave
**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

HC’s Cottage- c. 1896 Renovated Cottage

Great location where we needed to be and Eric was very accommodating by letting us in a little early, wound recommend this place and wound stay there again.

Riverfront cottage 1-mile nature walk to downtown
Very cute historic home, felt so comfy and cozy my entire stay. The king sized bed was so comfortable and the linens were so soft! House was on a quiet street, I loved sitting out on the deck enjoying nature and the river. I also enjoyed walking along the river, and even walked to downtown and back easily. Appreciated all the local recommendations provided by the host :) Would definitely stay here again!

Latitude 44
Latitude 44 was an amazing place to stay! It was very clean, neat, and exactly as described in the listing. The outside space was so nice and we enjoyed spending lots of time out there. It is a great secluded place close to many small towns and we loved being able to go visit all of them. We will definitely be back!

Highlander Tiny Villa
Really nice and cozy villa, loved the area and the atmosphere of it all. Really nice for a little getaway and would definitely come back.

1910 Farmhouse Near Town & Wineries!
Our group really enjoyed our stay in Traverse City; we stayed Memorial Day weekend and a few of our guests ran the Bayshore Half Marathon and the house was perfect for our situation. It comfortably fit our group of 7 people, and there was ample space to park our 3 cars with plenty of room for more. The house was pristine upon check in with all the amenities you could need for a long weekend. We really enjoyed the games in the garage. Location was great with a short drive to downtown Traverse City, and we took advantage of a few of the great restaurant recommendations from the host throughout the weekend. I would stay here again without hesitation and recommend it to anyone who is heading to Traverse City!

Private Elk Lake Cottage minutes from Elk Rapids
This place is beautiful, right on the lake and not too far away from Traverse city. There’s some really cool places to eat and drink nearby as well. I’d highly recommend staying here.

Leelanau Trailside Cottage
We had an amazing stay! The home was incredibly clean and the linens and towels were top quality. We loved being able to hop on the trail and ride to some of our favorite spots around the area.

Cozy Private Lakefront Cottage
We had a great stay at Ben's place! We had a slight issue with getting inside initially, but Ben responsed within a matter of minutes and took care of it promptly! The cottage and area was just as described and had everything that we needed. We spent our days visiting some of the nearby cities which were a short drive away such as Traverse City, Bellaire, and Charlevoix and enjoyed unwinding in the evenings by the dock area. We especially loved the Cherry Street Market in Kalkasa and enjoyed Moose and Stella's Cafe in town for breakfast. The neighborhood was very quiet, friendly and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much and Ben is a great host!

Quaint Interlochen Cottage
The stay at Lori & Peter's Interlochen cottage was fabulous--from the moment of booking through follow up as I was leaving they were responsive and helpful; no question was too small. The place was just as pictured: quiet, secluded, yet close to everything I needed or wanted, well furnished and appointed, comfortable beds, charming kitchen dishes, wonderful area. It was absolutely perfect.

Bright Blue Cottage - Stunning Deck, + 2 Kayaks!
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!
