Long Lake Therapy-HotTub/FirePlace&Pit/AC/ByBeach
House was just perfect. It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Reasonable distance from Traverse City and attractions such as Sleeping Bear dunes. Amazing surroundings and environment. Comfortable beds too. The hot spa was a bonus. Thank you for the gift of wine and Cherry Republic chocolate! Both locally made! We enjoyed our stay!

The Burdhouse, in the heart of Traverse City
The Burdhouse is uniquely beautiful. It’s colorful. The amenities are plentiful. It’s laid out well for multiple groups. It has a rich history, noted in Tammy’s book. The location is wonderful, slightly off the beaten path, but within walking distance of restaurants and activities. Tammy is an awesome host. She contacts you in advance and makes sure you have no questions. She is also readily available during your stay. We were in town for my daughter‘s wedding and this was the perfect place to stay.

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed
Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

Urban Gem: Mins to Beach & Downtown W/Hot tub!
Where do I start… this was the perfect getaway for myself, my husband and our fur baby. The house was exactly as described and is placed in the most peaceful neighborhood - while also being minutes away from everything Traverse City has to offer! Ramy is the most wonderful host; answering all our questions and suggesting some great local spots as well. We felt immediately at ease and truly could enjoy our vacation thanks to Ramy and this perfect lil home. We hope to be back next time we visit Traverse City! ☺️

The Kaiser House *3 minutes to Down Town *Sleeps 8
Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

The Triple L (The Long Lake Life)
We really enjoyed our stay! We were in town for a Family Reunion so didn't spend a lot of time at the house but did enjoy the sunrise each morning.

Charming Lakefront Cottage Retreat | Vintage Decor
The house was exactly what we needed. It was near my daughter's school, our kids loved the fireplace, and it was very quiet.

4BR Home, King Bed, BBQ, By Lake, 7mi to Airport
Robert's place was great for us. Ended up being just 4 people, so it was way more space than we needed. Would have been comfortable with a much bigger group as well. We loved that it was equipped with all necessary kitchen and bath items and we absolutely loved that we were asked specifically NOT to strip beds, do laundry, fold towels, etc. We'll return.

Vineyard Retreat Near Torch Lake
It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

Relax On Beautiful Silver Lake Near Traverse City.
My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Luxurious Firehouse Apartment in Downtown Traverse
The firehouse was a really cool environment and we walked almost everywhere to eat, to the beach, to shop. It was exactly what we wanted!

Cypress Street Escape
Linda’s place was extremely clean, nice and cozy. Her place was just as described and she added all the amenities I needed for my stay. I liked that she was personable and paid attention to detail. I highly recommend.

West End Apartment
We were in town for the Bayshore Half Marathon and initially expected a group of five, but it ended up being just two couples. The condo was perfect for our group! The parking was clearly marked, and we had the place to ourselves. It was easy to access, and we even tried out the elevator. At first, we weren’t sure which building was ours since there are several nearby, but once we got our bearings, everything was smooth. The location truly can’t be beat — we were able to walk to almost everything! The views are absolutely stunning. I only wish we had better weather so we could have spent more time outside enjoying them. The condo itself was clean and comfortable, with just the right amount of space for the four of us. Having two bathrooms, a cozy living area, and separated sleeping spaces made our stay really comfortable. We’d love the chance to stay here again in the future!

Tucker's Penthouse Paradise
Gorgeous views offset any minor issues. The unit has beautiful views overseeing tennis courts, dog playground, as well as a large open area including small portion of the beach. There will be popping sounds of tennis players but I don’t think they’re excessive or annoying. The unit is modern and equipped with genuine furniture including great Electrolux washer/dryer. There is a very nice leather electric recliner. We had minor issues but the host resolved them in a reasonable time frame. It is worth to mention that there is no elevator to the unit which is on the 3rd floor. Also, parking spaces are very tight.

Luxury on Chandler Lake, with kayaks! Close to TC!
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

The Studio at Provemont Pointe - Lake Leelanau
Jason’s studio was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, well equipped, and conveniently located to all the area has to offer. Highly recommended!
Lake access cottage rentals

Little Skip Cottage, on the Bay
Beautiful cottage with beautiful accommodations and furnishings! Carolyn was so kind and responsive! We look forward to our next stay!

Waterfront Cottage in Elk Rapids, Michigan
Beautiful home and location — Elk Rapids is a gem, and we are already planning our return visit. I'd definitely recommend Chelsea's place.

Sunset Loch Cottage - Lakefront in Traverse City
My husband and I took our pup to this place to celebrate Thanksgiving and loved the amazing spacious kitchen! The view was incredible (even during a blizzard!) and we felt right at home. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Silver Lake Cottage
Great little cozy cottage in a secluded community. Stayed here in early April so didn’t get to take advantage of the beach/gazebo/firepit, but they looked very nice. Nice location close enough to the city but is off the main drag. Would love to stay here again!

Stream-side Cottage by Lake Leelanau Beachfront
The space was so cozy and perfect for our weekend. Ansel was quick to reply with questions and very friendly. Would definitely stay here again!!

Summer Sand & Fun Beachfront Traverse City Cottage
Great couple of days in Traverse City. Felt at home in the house and loved checking out some of the restaurants nearby. Jeff was a great host and we appreciated his communication and kindness!

Lake front cottage in the heart of wine country
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!

LakeFront, Kayaks, Aug 24-29 Available, Fall Dates
The Memory Maker was all that we hoped for and so much more. We had initially intended to find an Airbnb on Torch Lake but once we saw this place we booked it right away and it was the perfect choice. We still trailered the boat a quick ride to Torch for an adventure but spent the majority of our trick on Elk Lake and loved it. This Airbnb thought of everything and we wanted for nothing! We took our four adult children and their significants and our grandbaby and we all had plenty of room to enjoy our stay! Hank and Alaina
