Waterfront vacation rentals in Genesee County

This might be my favorite home that I’ve stayed in using Airbnb! Hanna Hospitality was super communicative, proactive, and kind. The home itself felt extremely clean and like a family home. I spent most of my time out in downtown Clarkston, but pretty much stayed on the deck or in the water when I was there. All of the furniture in this home was clean and comfortable, making it easy to lounge indoors and outdoors. The bed was almost more comfortable than my bed at home. The home is as described, and even cleaner than expected. The only challenge and my reason for the four stars: it was a bit frustrating to get into the front door. Hanna Hospitality provided clear directions for the keypad, but it’s weird that you had to “wake it up.” I hope I get to stay here again each time I visit Clarkson! Thank you for this wonderful stay!

beautiful little place on the main strip in Frankenmuth. we enjoyed the balcony so much even in the rain thanks to the wonderful awning that can be pulled out. the only real draw back for us .... was one, me and my friend are pretty short (lol) so the microwave on top of the fridge wasn't such a great thing. the other is having twin beds in the sond room, although great for kids, it's not so great for adults. I did know that when I rented the place tho. outside of those two things. ..what a beautiful lil place to stay . we had a wonderful time

We had a wonderful stay at Carol’s spotless, cozy apartment right in the middle of downtown! Highly recommend.

We were in town for my Mothers funeral. We originally were staying at another Airbnb that wasn't able to extend our reservation. Rachel not only confirmed our new reservation within minutes, but also allowed us to go straight from check out at the other place to check in at her place without waiting around for several hours. She was also extremely helpful when we had an emergent situation with our dog, Dexter. The house is absolutely beautiful and even though you're only a few minutes outside of town it feels super secluded and private. Wonderful host, wonderful house.

The beach access was incredible for quiet mornings. Well stocked with things to do, it was a joy to watch the other renters take the boats out to fish and relax. The neighbors were all friendly, the neighborhood a short and sweet walk. It was an incredible stay, we ended up extending because we weren't ready to leave! Loved the fully equipped kitchen and though we didn't utilize it, free laundry facilities are always a plus for lake vacations (no more smelly bathing suits on the way home!) The thermostat was straightforward and the wifi connection was strong. No complaints here!

The apartment is clean, spacious, and the location can’t be beat. A little on the pricey side if we weren’t splitting with family members, but how nice the place is as well as the convenience makes up for it. We have stayed here previously and would definitely do so again! Carol is also a great host!

I don't know if I'll ever be ok with 700.00+ for less than half a Friday, full sat and half a sun. with that said, it's nothing personal. overall it's a beautiful place with a beautiful view and my girlfriend and I were absolutely thrilled about being there. I think if the hot tub was included in your stay, and not paid separately for, it would be even better.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Great privacy, cozy house and we loved the amenities of the fire pit and paddle boat. It was perfect for bringing our little one too, with a crib and toys available! We should have brought binoculars for all the cool birds and ducks we saw. There were even swans on the lake! I wish we could have stayed longer. The nearby town of Holly looks like it came straight out of a hallmark movie! It was so cute and had really amazing antique stores as well as some really great little restaurants we were able to try. I would move to this area in a second if I could!

Our stay at Vivian's beautiful lake house was a long series of pleasant surprises. Where most airbnb's have the bare minimum of cooking supplies, her kitchen was fully stocked, with every appliance and spice you'd need for home cooking right at hand. The beds were comfortable, the sheets spotless, the bathrooms were pristine, and the whole house had a clean and welcoming feel that only comes from dedicated work. The lake equipment was extensive, and allowed us to make many treasured memories out on the water. And to top it all off, she left a platter of homemade chocolate chip cookies on the counter as a welcoming gift. We would happily stay here again, I can't emphasize enough how well kept this house is.

We loved our stay at Renee's place! The home was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the super comfy beds and experienced a few gorgeous sunsets over the lake. It was a quick drive to Frankenmuth. And we really appreciated the fresh baked cookies and snack box! We would definitely stay here again the next time we are visiting the area. Thank you, Renee!

My family and I planned a very last minute trip to the Rochester Hills area due to the passing of my mother in law. My husband is from the area, so he asked me to search in Lake Oreon. I’m so happy we selected this little cottage, as it was seriously so peaceful and comfortable! It was spotless, (which is so difficult to find when searching for a rental) and we never felt the need to wash things down before we used them. Beds were cozy, clean and crisp! Ryan and his family were gracious and allowed us to have a few family members over following the service, which was so appreciated. I absolutely recommend staying in this home! One of the better homes we have stayed in.

We're frequent Airbnb users, & Denise's Lodge is now our favorite. The driveway is generously wide. Pictures posted don't do the cottage justice. It's super clean & cozy. There are lots of thick towels, great views of the lake which is steps from the cottage, an ambient electric fireplace, higher end living room furniture, well-supplied kitchen, and comfy beds. Denise furnished dog bowl & waste bags, and there were even welcoming treats for our dog, as well as for us. The assortment of snacks, candies, hot chocolate & coffee packets, and coffee creamers was highly unusual and very impressive. The lodge's black bear decor reminds you that you're in someone else's abode, but at the same time, there's an undeniable feeling of a homey comfort. Communication was great. The only downside is the dirt road leading from the highway to the lodge, which is narrow & has lots of pot holes. Being Michigan-born, I know why there's a reason why Hershey's makes a "Michigan pothole" ice-cream:)

Brittnay’s home was perfect for our family gathering. It was stocked with everything we needed, especially for young kids. We also appreciated Brittnay’s responsiveness. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved our stay at the lake house! Private enough that you can’t hear your neighbors, but lots to watch from the porch as people utilized the lake. There was lots of hot water, kitchen had most cookware (save a cast iron but we travel with one), and the sleeping areas were cozy. Perfect lil getaway
