Beachfront holiday rentals in Otsego County

Had a great weekend at Alex'x place!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Very toddler friendly and the access to the water was perfect.

Mark & Mary are always great hosts. We were a little confused by the heating system and Mary very quickly reached out to ensure we were in good shape, even decently late. When a snow storm came and temperatures plunged, Mark was quick to come and salt the sidewalks. Always responsive and kind, will be visiting again.

Wow — this was maybe the best AirBnB experience that I’ve had. Monica has done such a wonderful job with this cabin. It was pristine, peaceful, and in the most beautiful location. The cabin itself was exceptionally comfortable with everything we needed for comfort. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and cooking utensils, with a great grill outside — we used it for most meals! The porch was almost with the entire value of the place itself, a perfect spot to sit and relax and enjoy the day. My dog was in LOVE with her surroundings, and we enjoyed many a walk down the long grassy lawn to the water where she swam and laid out in the sun on the dock (plus was put into a kayak successfully for the first time with moderate success!). Monica was an incredible host who has quite literally thought of everything to make the stay perfect. We hope to stay again in the future!

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

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!

Timothy's place was perfect for our weekend trip. It is a very cute place, clean and it had everything we needed! Timothy was very responsive. We will definetly stay at his place in the future!

Jessica thought of everything for this place! It looks exactly like the pictures. The sunroom is the best part. The lighting and ceiling fans in all the rooms is great. The coffee bar, wine bar, and games were really thoughtful. It was so clean. The place is peaceful. It was just me, my boyfriend and our dog but they have this listing set up for a bigger group of people and it is also very kid friendly. If you’re thinking about booking, do it now.

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.

Great condo - even brighter, cheerier, and roomier than pictured! Condo was clean, beds were comfortable, lots of linens and beach towels, games, well stocked kitchen.... and the view of the lake is fantastic! There were no neighbors when we were there so it was very quiet. Just minutes to Nub's Nob and the Highlands. Lots of choices for restaurants near by and good grocery store nearby. Host was ultra available and accommodating with lots of instructional / helpful signage throughout the condo, lots of extras!!! Thanks for a great stay! Looking forward to going back!!

We loved our stay at Ryan’s place! Perfect stay for Shanty Creek and even Boyne. Very clean and comfortable with plenty of room, and gorgeous views!

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!

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.

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!!!

Lots of amenities that are in walking distance! Loved to be on the water with a dock near by and a pool for the kids! It was wonderful!!

We stayed at Roger and Mary’s place for a short weekend up north and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. The place was clean and inviting and Rog and Mary were absolutely wonderful from the beginning of our visit to the end. The condo was spotless, looked exactly like the pictures and very comfortable. Perfect distance from both Harbor Springs, Petoskey and the Highlands. I will most definitely be coming back! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Rog and Mary!

Jodi was wonderful to work with. The home was well decorated and exceptionally clean. We truly enjoyed our stay.

This was the perfect place for my family of six adults and one dog. We loved having the four kayaks and it was easy to get into the water from the dock. We enjoyed fishing from the dock too. Our dog loved the beach access to the water. We went in the hot tub and soaked up the beautiful view. The kitchen table seats six and was exactly what we needed when we played games. We played a few games of ping pong and foosball in the garage. The outdoor shared pool, pickleball court, playground, and basketball court are only a 5 minute walk away. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioners kept the whole place cool. We loved this home on the lake.

Very cute place on the lake. Nice big yard with firepit. The lake was warm enough to swim in. I'd definitely recommend Daphne's place for your vacation up north.

We loved being emerged with nature in this home. Every day, we were outside kayaking, fishing, enjoying the stars and firepit. For our family of 7, it was the perfect size home. We liked being just outside of town for the peace and quiet yet close enough to go grocery shopping. Dorene and John were great hosts! Quick and efficient communication. They gave recommendations on places to visit and were very welcoming. We'd love to come back again to this cozy chalet.

we had a blast. the place has everything you could ask for on a the lake. the cabin was very comfortable and relaxing and dog friendly

Beautiful and serene. The cabin was spacious and clean. The kiddos enjoyed kayaking and the adults enjoyed nature. Will return in the future

Great place on a small lake for a couple or small family. There were watercraft available to use, places to walk, and the unit itself was well-maintained. Communication was very fast and responsive as well. Definitely a great place if you want the perfect combination of being 'in the woods' while still only being about 15 minutes away from downtown Gaylord.

Beautiful lakeside location
