Cottage holiday rentals in Glen Arbor Township

We had an amazing time at Salma’s big beautiful cottage! It’s like something out of a dream. The cottage itself is very beautifully designed with lots of wooden features & accents both within the interior and exterior. We fell in love with its beauty. It’s super spacious inside and has everything you need for a dreamy cottage weekend. The outdoor hot tub with string lights were a very cute touch! The large property is nestled within a lovely outdoor wooded area that feels far away from busy life but is actually only 15-20 minutes away from most local Traverse city places! So it makes for a great location that is best of both worlds. The cottage was very clean and it was very easy to spend the day lounging around in and then enjoy its cozy nature in the evenings. Salma was very kind and easy to communicate with! She was a wonderful host. We really loved staying here and would love to return someday. This is a true one of kind gem and I’m sure you’d make some wonderful memories here too.

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 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!

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!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was spotless, very comfortable, and in a perfect location—just minutes from restaurants, shops, and the lake. Stephanie and Bobby were incredibly easy to work with and had a thoughtfully organized book full of recommendations and options for just about anything you could need or want to do in the area. Highly recommend!

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!

Stayed in Topinbee to attend Mackinac Island Lilac Festival. This was an amazing spot to relax from the busy festival activites! Having a quiet evening in the hot tub with the beautiful view of Lake Mullet was quickly a favorite activity! Cannot recommend this rental enough for an extremely relaxed and pleasant lakeside space. Hosts were very responsive, gave great recommendations, and were incredibly helpful when we worried we misplaced one of our personal items. Hopefully we'll be able to make the trip again next year for the next fest!

My family and I had a great stay at Robert's home. It was exactly what we were looking for in a long weekend in the Leelanau/Suttons Bay wine country with hiking trails, scenic roadways, and outdoor activities that we had in store. Robert was very accommodating and the home was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet rural space to recharge. We would love to stay here again if we make it back up that way. Thank you for a great stay!

Meagan was a great host and reached out often to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and spacious enough for the six of us plus our grand baby. The location was close to all the activities we had planned with scenic drives to all of them. We had a great weekend.

I highly recommend staying here. The place was clean and had a lot to offer with games, blankets, kitchen ware, air conditioners and a fire place. The cottage was clean and very welcoming.

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!

By far our favorite Airbnb, cozy furniture and beds, swimming spot is so much fun. This is our third time staying and we just love it. Thank you for always being a great host! See you next yr

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

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."

Many thanks to Oksana for the wonderful visit! The guest house is a jewel box full of treasures. It is so comfy and close to town. It was perfect for my husband, dog, and me with the wonderful fenced backyard. Thanks for all the wonderful touches like homemade bread and information for dog-friendly hikes and beaches. It was great to explore and photograph the nearby lake shores and then come back to relax at the guest house. We hope to visit again soon!

Little Skip Cottage was absolutely gorgeous & cozy — just perfect for our honeymoon. We loved everything about it and will certainly be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property - hosts were highly responsive and accommodating to our requests. Highly recommend!

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

We have stayed at dozens of locations in Glen Arbor over the past 25+ years, and Beechwood ranks at the top. Incredibly peaceful and wonderfully appointed cottage. From coffee in the morning on the patio and (in my opinion) the best view of Big Glen, to bonfires and dinner outside on the dinner table and quiet nights watching the sunset on the incredibly comfortable outdoor furniture made this one of our favorite Glen Lake trips.

The house was absolutely spotless and everything looked new, modern, and very well maintained. The deck was amazing, perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. Being right on the beach made the experience even better. The host was extremely nice and responsive, which made the whole stay smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

The Jolly Lodge is your quintessential Lake Michigan get away stay overlook the clear blue waters of the lake with your own private beach and lawn overlooking Manitou Island in the distance! Highly recommended for sure!

Great location and very respectable community with a lot of options for activities!

12/10 ⭐️ Words cannot describe how perfect our stay was, and it all starts with the hosts… David was very kind and communicative and the home was spotless. Everything has been very well thought out with the guests’ experience prioritized. The decor is cozy and inviting with an up north/lake house theme. The breathtaking sunsets and lake views will leave you wishing you had booked a longer stay. Thank you for sharing such a truly amazing place! We are already arranging our next visit!
