Holiday rentals with a kayak in Spider Lake

Quiet and private environment which contributed to a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

Cozy place with a great view of the lake. Perfect location for our annual fishing trip to the Traverse City area.

This is a lovely home in an amazing location. The access to Silver Lake with paddle boards and kayaks readily available was amazing!

House location was 12/10. Couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Walking distance to trails and sits right on the lake. Kids loved playing in and on the water with the kayaks provided. Would highly recommend the home to family and friends and would stay here anytime our family returns to the area. House was as advertised and Joe was very responsive and offered local trails and areas to eat.

Pure heaven! One of the most peaceful, beautiful, and comfortable stays we’ve had! Pristine interior with outstanding views of lake, every amenity (including beach toys) we could have wanted. The perfect couples getaway to recharge our batteries. Would be great for young families too. Bass Lake is divine for kayaking among the lily pads and loons, watching the sunsets, or just chilling on the deck. My husband was pouting all the way home as we hated to leave. Check-in was super easy, everything was top notch start to finish. Can’t wait to rebook next year.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! The pictures don’t do the view from the main living room justice - gorgeous panoramic lakefront. The cabin was rustic but homey. We enjoyed curling up on the sofa with a good book, playing games at the dining table, and grilling out. Our two dogs had a wonderful time splashing around on the private beach. This location is very desirable in both its privacy and proximity to multiple other towns (Suttons Bay and Leland are very close, and Glen Arbor and Traverse City are easily drivable). So quiet and peaceful - would stay again!

Not even sure where to begin! We booked this for my friends low-key bachelorette party and it was the most perfect place for us to relax and unplug! Shana was an amazing host, always communicating via the app in a very timely manner. The house was pristine and SO cute! It was clean and stocked with everything you could need (paddle board, kayaks, life jackets, wood, spare tooth brushes, ample towels, kitchen items, coffee were some of our favorites). The ONLY complaint - which is to no fault of the host - is that the mosquitos were thick at all hours of the day so be mindful of that :) have already reccomended this place to many friends and hoping I can back here soon too. 10/10 recommend!

We had a great stay at Ben's place! We had a slight issue with getting inside initially, but Ben responsed within a matter of minutes and took care of it promptly! The cottage and area was just as described and had everything that we needed. We spent our days visiting some of the nearby cities which were a short drive away such as Traverse City, Bellaire, and Charlevoix and enjoyed unwinding in the evenings by the dock area. We especially loved the Cherry Street Market in Kalkasa and enjoyed Moose and Stella's Cafe in town for breakfast. The neighborhood was very quiet, friendly and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much and Ben is a great host!

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but close enough to the city and to the peninsula to enjoy that as well. Shannon was a wonderful host and was responsive to our needs. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we hope to come back and stay again for more fun along the river!

Beautiful location, beautiful accommodations. Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with our winter outdoor plans but the cozy cabin allowed us to adapt. We will be back!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! It was perfect for everyone, as each cabin offered privacy while being just a short walk away from one another. The property is stunning and peaceful, and nothing beats enjoying a cup of coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake, with mist rising off the water. Beth and Keegan were fantastic hosts. Their thorough preparation meant we hardly needed to communicate, which allowed us to fully relax. My family and I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this place to couples, families, and friends. It's the ideal spot for those seeking both privacy and a sense of togetherness. We can't wait to come back!

Great place to stay, this was our second time staying here and will def book again!

Anita was an amazing host! She responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s more beautiful in person. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, toaster, cookware, they thought of everything. Even had extra sunscreen the bathroom. The beach area was also very clean and well stocked, we enjoyed going out on the kayaks. It was the perfect setting to exhale and escape the world for a week on our own private beach. We will definitely be booking with Anita again!

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!

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

We had a great time at the cabin, the hosts and cabin are top notch and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering.

We had a great weekend. The cabin is lovely. We hiked at the nearby nature area, fished in the lake & surrounding areas, and explored downtown. We made breakfasts and dinners at the cabin and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed the variety of boats available.

Would definitely stay here again! Beautiful area- right on the lake, quiet and peaceful, heard elk from a far…etc. It was 25 min away from downtown but the hot tub and bonfire provided entertainment. Loved the house!

The cabin was perfect. So many useful amenities. Perfect for our family snowmobiling trip.

Cozy Cabin was exactly that, including its great location. It fit our winter needs for our mini vacation perfectly with all that snow!! Lauri was pleasant to talk with as well!

It was a great cabin with full of things provide to do to spend the days away from home. Enough to do for days we didnt have plans to enjoy some cards around the open fire or enjoy some time in the hot tub, or have a friendly game of corn hole

Had a wonderful time with the family on the lake. its a gorgeous place with lots to do.

Great place to stay for everything Manistee River! Clean, comfortable, quiet and plenty of room to relax. Lesley was great and very responsive. We would definitely stay again.
