Cottage holiday rentals in The Sleeping Bear

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.

Cute house with a nice backyard area! Host is very proactive with communication and consistently encourages you to reach out if you need anything. Very easy to check-in and locate items throughout the house.

This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

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!

Such a nice Stay in Beulah! The place was so clean and came with so many perks! Games and a Bluetooth speaker, plenty of towels, bathroom with a heated fan, EXTRA COTS! Check in and check out was a breeze and the host was very friendly with their communication! All around a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to hike, beach or relax.

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

My family & I loved it . Everyone was content just staying at the cottage . Lol but we did check out A couple of the recommendations & they were very nice !! Great stay will definitely book again !!

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.

Always our favorite stay! Robert’s place is just as he describes. Clean. Close to everything. Very responsive. Perfect for our family or 4!

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 would absolutely recommend the wet nest to anybody. Tracey was an amazing host and always in contact with me on everything. the place was exactly like it was described and we had an incredible time. thank you, Tracey

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!

My husband and I had a wonderful time relaxing at this lake house. It had everything needed for us to kick back, relax, and unplug. Our host was very responsive with every contact that we made! The only thing I would add to the house description is that there are a few pretty tall steps in the house, so someone with bad knees might want to consider that. Great place and well with the money!

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 get away for the weekend, super close to Frankfort and Traverse City for some day trips and a great place to hang out for the night! 10/10 would recommend staying here!

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!

Beautiful cottage with beautiful accommodations and furnishings! Carolyn was so kind and responsive! We look forward to our next stay!

We had a great stay (just my wife and I) plus our old dog Polly. The place was perfect. Very quiet surroundings, wonderful peaceful atmostphere inside and the best place to hang out in the evening and mornings was the outdoor covered deck. This place had everything we were looking for and more. I highly recommend it. We only used on of the three bedrooms that were available but regardless of the number of people staying it share a large open living space that was just what we needed for our gathering purposes. Thank you Terry for sharing your place with us! ~Tom/Ana/Polly

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

We had a wonderful stay. I grew up on Big Platte Lake, so it was wonderful to share the memories, scenery, and great food with girlfriend. Thank you so much to our hosts, Javier and Virginia.

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.

Incredible hosts and a breathtaking riverside property! The cozy wood-burning fireplace and outdoor stone sauna create the perfect atmosphere for a serene and rejuvenating winter retreat.

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!

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!
