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!

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 originally booked a different cottage in Ludington….only to find out we accidentally booked it for the wrong date. We cancelled that reservation and booked this location instead. Host responded immediately- huge relief to us since we were already on our way to the area. Directions to the house were spot on, which made it easy to find. Even though this was a last minute reservation, the house was ready for us. Yes, the furniture is dated but that was fine with us. There is so much to do in the area that we were gone most of the time. However, we did spend some time at the house to do some fishing out on the lake- they have a boat and canoe onsite that we were able to take out. Our last night there, we sat out by the fire pit and stargazed while we fished. It was perfect! Communication with host couldn’t have been any better. They checked in with us to make sure all was going well and responded right away when I accidentally locked ourselves out of the house. Would stay again.

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.

For a quick weekend getaway- this is the place! Super easy to get to right from the ferry and still private. The yard is spacious and right off the shore. The dogs loved swimming and all of us loved sitting along the fire to watch the sunset. The place was clean and Shelly was great! Can’t recommend enough

Such a great place, we really enjoyed it and it was a great spot to bring our little kids and dog! We hope to return next year!

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!

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."

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!

First of all the location is just mind blowing. So quite and so private. Access to almost private beach. The cottage was cozy and had all the basic amenities that one would need for a small vacation with family. Whatever query we had Alec always responded within a few minutes. Was very happy with this stay. The only thing i would point out is that the exterior of the place needs a little cleaning and maintenance and i wish the kitchen had a little more utensils but thats about it. The lake is right across the street but not the best spot for bathing as its full of stones and too shallow but still beautiful to just sit and relax.

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.

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

This was our second stay at Tyler and Colleen’s and what a relaxing stay it was. We enjoyed many evenings on the deck, watching the kayakers on the river, making a fire, or having dinner on the big picnic table. The house is located at the end of the street so it is very private and quiet, yet minutes away from all Glen Arbor has to offer. We can’t wait to visit again.

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.

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