Charming & Cozy Torch Lake Waterfront Cottage
We had an amazing stay in an absolutely beautiful location. Shawn was an amazing host that went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure our stay was exceptional!

Boyne Mountain Resort | Dog Friendly | Lake Front
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The Kaiser House *3 minutes to Down Town *Sleeps 8

Beautiful 2 bedroom bungalow on Crooked Lake.
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautifully decorated home and for your quick response to our questions.

Traverse City Waterfront Home
Gary was a great host. The home comfortably fit 2 adult couples for a long weekend stay. We are regular visitors to the area and the view is second to none. Bedrooms were comfy & kitchen was well stocked. Price was very reasonable for what the home had to offer. If I had a complaint it would be that it wasn’t the cleanest. I understand it’s up north & fall time but a simple sweep of the bugs at the front door and organizing the back patio would’ve helped. I also understand that the garage is normally used for storage but this particular weekend it wasn’t so it would’ve been nice to use all the amenities the home had to offer. With all that said I’d still rent from Gary as he was super responsive and helpful with any requests.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

BunnyHill: Outdoor Heated Pool- Summer
The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

Beach Bliss211: Balcony/Water View/Beach/Downtown.
Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

Summertime in Northern Michigan, private beach
We love the Gaylord area! Reasonable distance to Mackinac Island and all the wonderful places and beautiful wildlife.

Sunset Point at Shanty Creek
As always, Shanty Creek did not disappoint! The view was spectacular, with full fall colors popping! We got to walk the Legend golf course several times, and the colors were amazing on that, too. This unit is cozy and absolutely perfect for a couple getting away for a few days. We would definitely return to this unit any time of year!

Lakeside Log Cabin - Near Pool, Golf, Ski
This was our first trip with our 4 young adult children, their spouses, & our grand baby's 1st vacation. Absolutely thoughtful and intentional details to make our stay fun and cozy: yard games, kayaks, beach lounge chairs, fire pit and Adirondack chairs, cozy blankets to snuggle on the sofas, and spacious property allowed us to have privacy yet spend special time together. Also, the dining for 10 was just perfect with all the kitchen appliances and supplies to make special home cooked meal.

Cozy Condo, Slps 8, kitchen, in/out pool/ hot tub
Holly communicated very well and answered questions very quickly. The home is beautiful and clean. Outside wild turkey and around 10 deer ran through to the valley below. It’s close to the shops and the lodge. We walked to dinner and drinks. I would definitely book again and would recommend this place and Holly!!! Thank you for a great place to stay over the weekend!!!

This little cottage was absolutely adorable! It was very clean and decorated beautifully. It had every amenity that you could ask for and had a great view of gorgeous Torch Lake.

Lakefront Torch Cottage: Fun in all seasons!
If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect place to stay. Everything was spotless—from the rooms to the kitchen and bathroom, every corner was clean and well-kept. The area is incredibly quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The water was crystal clear, adding to the overall refreshing experience. It truly felt like a home away from home. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay—simple, sweet, and absolutely soothing. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a peaceful retreat

We will definitely book this place again if we need to be close to the Grand Traverse Resort again. Its very clean, very comfortable, and the the views are really nice. It's just far away enough from downtown to be quiet and peaceful.

Thank you for the perfect getaway! Moondance Shores is a peaceful and modern home with gorgeous views of the lake! The location is incredible - tucked away in nature, yet a quick drive to town. This home is an absolute gem! Christiane is a kind, responsive, and helpful host. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We hope to visit again soon!

Luxury Log Cabin on Lake Michigan w/Barrel Sauna
Absolutely incredible stay at the White Birch Cabin with our family - 6 adults and 3 kiddos. The cabin is really nice, clean, and full of new amenities. We enjoyed a ton of time on the deck and down at the beach. We used the kayaks and paddle boards everyday on the calm bay. We also enjoyed a short drive to Charlevoix to check out the town and do some shopping. Tyler was super responsive to any questions we had while we were there. Would 100% return! Thanks Tyler!
