Cottage in Grayling
5 out of 5 average rating, 92 reviewsNorthern Memories Couples Getaway! Jacuzzi room AC
northern memories felt like a home away from home for my boyfriend and I celebrating his birthday! the cabin was adorable and all of the listed amenities were accurate. april left clear instructions about how to use each feature of the house. we were especially grateful for the coffee cake we were welcomed with! the furniture was comfortable and clean and we of course enjoyed the jacuzzi. we also spent lots of time watching the wildlife out the back windows. while we’re typically the type of people to spend lots of time out and about on vacation, we instead chose to spend much of our time at the cabin appreciating all it had to offer. we would love to stay here again!

Cottage in Walloon Lake
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 66 reviewsFall Colors*Lake*HOT TUB & Firepit*PETS allowed
One of our new favorite places to stay! We always look for a place with a hot tub, a sunroom, and a fenced in yard for the pups. This place was the trifecta! We loved the attention to detail like: cozy robes for after the hot tub, make up towels, an HDMI cord that was accessible for hooking up the Switch. We had an incredible week away. Thank you!
Cottage in Cedar
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 97 reviewsCozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
My now husband and I booked Anna's beautiful cottage for the few days leading up to our big day, and for the week after. We could not have asked for a more beautiful, private, cozy, beautifully organized, thoughtfully designed home for the week and a half we were there. The fireplace in the sunken living room became our favorite spot - not a night went by that we didn't sit down with a glass of wine and just enjoy the space. The furniture was comfortable, clean and of course, impeccably curated. Every room in the home has thoughtful details, down to the brass switch plates. We fell in love with the area, and the privacy that came with being in the secluded wooded setting during peak Fall color. We couldn't more highly recommend a place to stay, and we hope to be back many times in the future.
Cottage in Gaylord
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 77 reviewsIconic 5Bd Lakefront Cottage w Hot tub & Kayaks
Just a couple of hours' drive away, a peaceful lakefront sanctuary that felt like a dream come true. This idyllic location was perfect for our two-day reunion with friends, offering ample space for our group to relax and reconnect. The highlight of our stay was the easy access to the lake, where we enjoyed kayaking and creating unforgettable memories together. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and we left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for our time spent in this beautiful setting.

Mark’s cottage is truly enchanting! It’s filled with lovely decorative touches, comfortable furniture, and all the amenities we could hope for. We especially loved the cushy lounge chairs in the living room, the relaxing hot tub, and the pedal boat excursion we took out onto the lake. The views from the house and property are gorgeous, and the surroundings are very peaceful. It’s not a far drive to the shops and restaurants in Gaylord, and has plenty of options for DoorDash. Thank you for a great stay and we will definitely be back!

Cottage in Petoskey
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviewsAll Season Cottage on Pickerel Lake with Hot Tub.
This was a great place, the beds were super comfy. Had everything we needed. Slept 8 people comfortably. Only recommendation, there are a lot of light switches, labeling them may be helpful but we figured it out anyhow. It was about 12-15 mins drive to downtown Petoskey.

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 336 reviewsCozy Cottage on the Lake.
This is our 4th stay at Sherri’s cottage, we love it there! We have now stayed once in each season! This time we were looking for fall colors, they were just starting to turn. Just beautiful around the lake. I feel right at home in the cottage. It’s so comfortable, clean, and the view off the deck is beautiful in any season. Everything you need is there, definite attention to detail. We’ll go back in November, looking forward to it!

My friend and I stayed for a long weekend. The house was in a quiet area close to the lake. It was cozy and peaceful. Theresa was very friendly and reached out to check in on us to make sure everything was good. Would love to come again in the summer!

Cottage in Honor
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 124 reviewsHC’s Cottage- c. 1896 Renovated Cottage
We absolutely loved our stay here! We love the location and used this as a home base to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, Leland, Traverse City and Boyne Mountain. The house was exactly what we needed! Everything was wonderful and they had everything we could need. Any time we had a question she responded quickly. I would absolutely recommend staying here and believe we will be back!
Cottage in Hubbard Lake
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 120 reviewsLoonsong Cottage
We went up for the fall colors and had a very enjoyable stay. The view of the lake is beautiful during the day. Without light from nearby towns we could see shooting stars at night. The cottage was exactly as described. Cute, well stocked and very clean. Being older it does have some minor quirks, but nothing that took away from our visit. These were also communicated in the description. The home is very dog friendly. The fenced in yard is great. The fact that it's in the front of the yard means it doesn't interfere the lake view or access. The inside also has retractable gates if you wish to restrict your dog access to rooms as well. Kaitlin quickly responded to all of my questions. She also has a very thoughtful and detailed binder for local attractions in the area. There is only a Dollar Store and small food market in town, so you will need to the next town if you need more than convenience items. The pizza at Smokey's Restaurant & Tavern was really good!

Cottage in Central Lake
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 111 reviewsFall & Winter Openings@Private, Modern Lake Home!
We absolutely enjoyed ever minute of this relaxing, beautiful, and peaceful vacation! The home is absolutely adorable, comfy and clean. You have everything you could need when it comes to cooking and also the amenities were above and beyond! We absolutely enjoyed the paddle boards, and the paddle boats! We traveled with our three children and two pups! Every single one of us loved our time and we will have memories to cherish forever. The towns near by are awesome and Short’s Brewing company is very close and delicious. We have already talked about possibly staying here again in the future because we enjoyed it that much:)! Also this is an affordable home and we stayed for three nights. Thank you Laurie for providing our family with an excellent vacation and memories:)
Cottage in Charlevoix
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 274 reviewsThe Artist's Guest House
We had a great few days at the Artist's Guesthouse and wish we'd had longer. There was so much to do! The cottage was comfortable and cozy, such a creative space. Our dog settled in easily and the little fenced yard was handy and a nice place to relax after an afternoon of hunting stones and walking along the shore. Oksana was a wonderful host. She greeted us, familiarized us with the guesthouse and the area, and even provided fresh baked bread and farm fresh eggs! Great guesthouse, location, and host- hoping to return for a longer vacation.

Cottage in Desbarats
5 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewsPrivate 2 bedroom Cabin on Northern Channel
Peter’s cabin is beautifully setup overlooking the lake. We had a great time unwinding from the city life there & enjoying nature during fall. Peter is a very friendly host who went out of his way to give us any information we wanted. Will definitely recommend considering this property if you are looking for a cabin around Sault St. Marie.
Cottage in Cheboygan
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 114 reviewsThe Cozy Cottage close to town
The cozy cottage was just that! A peaceful cozy stay for us was what we needed. I liked the layout with the bedrooms being separate from the living room so if you have an early riser, they don't disturb your late sleepers. ;-) There's easy access to the beach and lighthouse in Cheboygan and the drive to Mackinaw City is beautiful this time of year! Everything was just great - we really enjoyed our stay.

Cute set of cabins in a row with a big front lawn looking out onto the lake and surrounding hills. The small cabin had everything we needed for a stay with our pets. The beds were comfortable. We even saw two deer bounding through the field in the early morning.

My husband and I and our two girls had a wonderful time. The girls loved the loft area. Beautiful fall colors. We went to the Charlevoix Apple Fest while in town, and found some petoskey stones as well. Highly recommended wood shop social restaurant in Mount Pleasant. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
