Cottage vacation rentals in Emmet County

This place is a slice of heaven. What an incredible way to spend your 28th wedding anniversary. Friends joined us for part of the week and couldn't get over how it was so amazingly clean everywhere. It was truly a home away from home. The view made it hard to say good-bye.

We so enjoyed staying here. It was very cozy & homey. All of her amenities were ready for us. The sauna and hot tub were such a treat, and sitting out at the fire each night was exactly what we were looking for. We would love to return again next year and bring our husbands. This was a Sisters trip and gave us everything we were looking for.

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.

We had a wonderful time at Mark and Mary’s place. Our friends stayed in one of the other houses so it’s a great area for multiple families to stay and gather. It was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed at. The property is beautiful. We loved the patio area, fire pits, and lake area. We definitely want you to come back to take advantage of the lake.

Drake’s place was so lovely and perfect for the couple nights we were in town. The setting was gorgeous, and it was directly across the street from a massive park that our dog loved. The house is the only one I’ve stayed in that felt truly dog friendly, which was amazing. On top of that, Drake was incredibly communicative and helpful - we had a little issue with the hot water and he was on top of it right away. We loved our stay and will absolutely be back the next time we are in town - it was a truly great spot.

The Douglas Lake House was peaceful and private. The sunrises on the lake were absolutely stunning. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch to have our morning coffee. Bonus points for being dog friendly so we could take a last minute getaway to Northern Michigan with our fur babies.

Rachel’s place is something special. The home has a lot of character and has all the essential amenities for a no-frills, relaxing getaway. Reading guest reviews and host responses before booking was helpful. The beach was the star of the show and our family spent the majority of our time there. Would love to come back again.

Thanks for hosting us! This cute place is tiny but they maximize the space! It has a comfy bed, great water pressure, a fenced in yard, a perfect little kitchen and more. It was very cold and snowy and we were cozy warm while here! Thanks for letting us bring our little dog, too! Really nice stay & we hope to return soon!

My book club stayed here for the book festival and it was fantastic place for the 5 of us right in the middle of downtown! We were near several great restaurants and bars and everything was close walking distance. The house had a charming antique feel and communication with the host was great! I’d recommend bringing your own towels if you have a group and just a heads up that the ladder to the top two beds were steep but it was fine for us. We would definitely stay again!

This Airbnb was a great place to have as your home base as you navigate this section of beautiful MI.  It was small but very clean and comfortable.  We had my husband, myself and 3 teenagers staying here.  It was close quarters but plenty of space / chairs outside to make it feel spacious.  Patrick was VERY responsive and accommodating.  They allowed our small dog to stay and he had a blast running the yard.  Delicious bakery within a short walk and lots of biking opportunities.  Petoskey, Harbor Springs, fish hatchery, marinas, Oden Nature Pond, winerys, beaches, Mackinaw, etc kept us very busy.

The cabin was clean, comfortable and well-stocked. It was close to town and amenities while still feeling private and somewhat secluded. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed evenings sitting under the stars next to a fire in the outdoor fire pit. Lindsay was friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay again.

Great location close to the water and park with sand dunes. Beautiful spot to catch a sunset. Great location to see the sights. The Tunnel of Trees is within an hour. We enjoyed our stay and have marked it as a property to stay in again.

Linda’s place was absolutely wonderful. We stayed at the end of the season and Charlevoix was beautiful.

Enjoyed staying at this beach house. We had a party of 5 adults and we were comfortable. The furniture is probably from the 70’s or 80’s but it was so well preserved it could have rolled off the production line yesterday. There is one master with king bed and the other couple and party slept upstairs in the smaller beds. I would have liked a bigger bed for other couple but the home itself with very comfortable and homey. Extremely clean. Great deal and couldn’t ask for better scenery. Hope to come back!

This home was warm, cozy, and welcoming inside. The perfect place for my sister’s 50th birthday girl’s getaway. It was exactly as the picture portrayed. The 5 of us had plenty of room to relax in comfort after spending the weekend shopping in near my the near by downtowns of Harbor Springs and Petosky. We would definitely rent this home again.

From start to finish this was an excellent stay! We loved the property, gorgeous, right in the water with breathtaking views. Whether sitting in the sun or in front of the fire, it was calm and relaxing. The home was clean and inviting exactly as the pictures show. The hosts were incredibly responsive - sometimes within a minute or two. We highly recommend Carly’s place and look forward to returning again!

Stacie's place is in a beautiful setting, with views of the lake from inside the home as well as from the outdoor seating around the firepit. It's location was an easy, quick drive from Legs Inn and Tunnel of Trees, to Sheplers, to board the ferry, and to the Dark Sky Park. Highly recommend! Stacie was helpful and informative about details for check in and out.

Annie's place is the perfect location for exploring the Harbor Springs / Petoskey area. We loved how close we were to everything, yet the cabin is tucked away from it all. There's beautiful hiking trails within walking distance too. The cabin itself had everything we needed. I really appreciated all the amenities for families, like toddler sized cups, bowls, and tons of fun games which kept my 2 year old busy the whole time. She especially loved finding the hidden rubber duckies throughout the house. All the beds were very comfortable. I honestly think the cabin was nicer than the pictures!

Exceptionally clean home that was decorated so pretty on a quiet, dead end street! We arrived later than planned so we had a tight schedule to see and do everything on our list. The home had everything we needed and more with kitchen wares, bathroom supplies etc. It was nice to relax on the back deck next to the water each evening when we got back for a few minutes and would love to visit again and have time to use the kayaks!! Tamara is super nice and a very caring person!
