4.77 out of 5 average rating, 132 reviewsAuthentic Log Cabin
Our stay at the Balsams Resort was truly a once in a lifetime kind of magic. We truly were mystified by the creative power & lore of artist Orr Greenlees in every inch of the cabin + property. Look into the history if you can, such a gem of a time capsule to take part in. Thank you for letting us stay & feel welcomed.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Cub Cabin, so much that I’d love to visit again. Tom greeted me when I arrived and assured me he or Diane would be available if needed. The cabin exceeded my expectations and had everything I needed, so I didn’t have to ask for help at all. The location is wonderful. Super close to Wilderness State Park, Mackinaw City, the UP, and only a 30 minute drive to Cheboygan. The setting is quiet and peaceful. I really loved my visit. Thanks Tom and Diane!
Cabin in Saint Ignace
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 158 reviewsLittle Cabin in the Woods (Cabin 3)
Great little cabin stay. We mostly wanted to stay in a log cabin because of our son's recent interest in building houses with logs. He seemed to enjoy the simple aspects, of just a simple cabin in the woods. The playground was simple, and he enjoyed it. The best was sitting out by the fire looking up at the stars and reading books with him. We brought chairs but didn't need them. Everything we needed was at the cabin. Great place.

Cottage in East Jordan
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 133 reviewsCedar Creek Cottage lakefront near Boyne City
If relaxation is what you want AND want to be close to lots of things to do, this is your place! We absolutely loved our week at the cabin. Peaceful and quiet yet plenty to do. The kayaks and paddle boards that are provided are such a nice added touch. The place was clean and made great use of the space. We will definitely be back when in the area again! One thing to note - the shower is a bit tight so if you are a really big/tall person, it might be a little tight. But other than that - it’s an amazing place to stay!
Cottage in Harbor Springs

Chris, we've stayed at your place several times and we are still overwhelmed each time at the incredible beauty of this spot. Thank you for sharing it. It is truly heaven on earth!!
Cottage in Lake Leelanau
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 133 reviewsProvemont Cottage | Downtown Lake Leelanau
We recently stayed with our 7 month old baby, our dog, and our friends with a 9 month old baby and it was such a great rental! Traveling with babies isn’t easy, but it was at Provemont! The location is so great, walkable to wineries, grocery, coffee, and a super close drive to many other wineries, beach, towns, etc. The decor is so stylish and homey and the whole house was extremely clean and immaculately kept. We had everything we could’ve needed, including an abundance of really nice towels. The lighting was amazing and overall so cozy! What made this place stand out was definitely the hosts - we had an issue with the living room TV and normally it wouldn’t have been a big deal but there was a big game on that evening and the reason we rented the house with friends (to watch the game together while babies could sleep) and Meg and her husband replaced the TV with a bigger and better brand new one within hours, allowing our game watching experience to be perfect! Wonderful rental!
Cottage in Charlevoix
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 178 reviewsGreat trails/sunsets/dunes/jacuzzi/relaxation
Our weekend was wonderful, could look down street and see the lake, walking 5 minutes to shore to see spectacular sunset! Walking trails also 5 minute walk, at McSauba forest and dunes were beautiful! The cottage was bigger than I’d expected and very cozy! There were snacks, Cherry Republic treats, coffee, firewood for the outdoor campfire and we enjoyed them all!! Hospitality and comfort here is the best I’ve ever experienced with AirBnB!
Cottage in Pellston
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 158 reviewsLarks Lake Cottage
The mist clearing on the lake in the morning sun reveals the changing colors of trees in the Fall Season. At night, the constellations sparkle strongly and clearly in the dark sky. And the sounds of silence increase the sense of peace and wonder. This is what you can experience whether sitting around a lakeside fire or sitting in the front room of the cottage. And making a home cooked meal is a pleasure as well...the kitchen supports good cooking and the dining room table supports warm and interesting conversations. Thanks, Leanne
Cottage in Petoskey
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 215 reviewsCharming Lakefront Guest Cottage
I’d give Julie’s place tens stars ⭐️ perfect place for two! Breath taking views of the lake, quiet. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the Petoskey area. Julie was a great host! Thank you!
Cottage in Harbor Springs
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 138 reviewsCharming Convenient Cottage
This is our favorite go-to for our visits to Northern Michigan! The home is roomy, and always spotless. Beds are super comfortable, towels are 5-star hotel quality. The remodeled bathroom is shiny new. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, the refrigerator is sparkling clean, and there is a great "junk" drawer for the little things you might need! Check-in and check-out are always smooth and easy, and Mike is instantly responsive to every message.

Home in Bellaire
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 43 reviewsNEW - Private Glacial Hills Bellaire Home
The home was perfect for my University clubs retreat. It was clean, and had plenty of space for sleeping a large number of guests. The scenery was beautiful and we had a great time. Ashley was a very responsive host. We had a storm come in on the last night of our stay and knock the power out, and Ashley was quick to respond and worked with us on checking out with no power

Charming house that was super clean! We needed a pet friendly stay for this trip and walking into a fresh and clean home was amazing! The kitchen, fridge, floors, bathrooms, linens, closets, everything was clean and welcoming. Kitchen had necessities plus some extras and still plenty of space to store food for the long weekend in the pantry. Check-in was easy and the neighborhood very quiet and friendly. We enjoyed coffee chats on the front porch and loved the walkability to the beach, downtown bars, restaurants, shopping, etc! My young kids had a great time riding around on their scooters too. We hoped to use the fire pit, but the humidity kept us inside enjoying some air conditioning after walks and the beach. :) Thanks for the comfortable and convenient home for my family to meet and enjoy a great weekend together in Boyne City!

Chirron was always quick to respond and was clear with her instructions. The house itself was perfect for our stay before our wedding at Castle Farms. We were able to have family that otherwise couldn’t afford to attend our wedding stay with us there and not feel like they were in our way. Neighbors clearly don’t like having an Air BnB in their HOA, but meh… 🙃

If you are up for a wedding at castle farms, this is the perfect location as it is right behind the venue. The house is large and has a lot of room to sleep people and is as advertised. Home is older which is common for the area, but some nice refinishes have been done.
