Cottage vacation rentals in Hamlin Lake

Great Place for a fall long weekend getaway! We enjoyed the ease of access to surrounding activities, beautiful views and advertised amenities. The place worked great for cooking in or outdoors and keeping two children entertained. Trips to dunes for hiking or motorsport, bigger cities for restaurants or shopping and parks for sightseeing and recreation are all available from this cottage. The place was well stocked with towels, bedding and cooking utensils. Some water and ice are also provided. I ended up needing to work a bit during the stay, the wifi was great for this. A note that lake front property is prime real-estate so neighbors are close by. While quiet and nice, having neighbors close by may not be everyone's cup of tea. Overall a great place to stay, would be interested in coming back for longer during the summer in the future.

Lovely home on Rose Lake. Very quiet and peaceful. Home has plenty of room for a family of 5 .(3 adults and 2 kids) The kiddos loves the hammock in the backyard by the water and roasting marshmallows at the fire pit. A definite add to our favorites list. Will stay again and recommend to our other family when they stay up here.

For a group of 4 "mature" women, this home was perfect. We each had our own bedroom and easily shared 2 full bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is VERY clean. The location is beautiful in a quiet neighborhood. It was easy to get to Traverse City. Be aware that there are small signs around the house to help you use electricity, heating,/cooling,,TV, WiFi, etc. Audrey was alway quickly responsive to my messages. I highly recommend this airbnb.

Our family felt right at home. My favorite part of the stay was watching the sunsets and sitting and the dinner table watching the lake sparkle in the sun. Fred was so friendly and listened to what I said. I mentioned how we love bbqing on the Weber grill and he remembered that and had charcoal out and ready to go for us. He didn’t have to do to at but he did to make us feel welcomed and it did! Kitchen has everything we needed to cook and there was lots of room for family time and games.

Great place to stay, highly recommend! Have everything you could possibly need, super clean and host is very responsive and very nice. We will be back next hunting season!

Beautiful place! Cute and cozy vibe. So many things made our stay great. So well taken care of. Linens and towels smelled wonderful! Obviously attention to detail is a priority, which makes for a great experience. Peaceful deck and convenient firepit. We were able to check in a bit earlier, and also had an hour later checkout, which we appreciated. Wonderful hosts! Highly recommend.

Deer in back yard was a delight

We stayed during the "off" season so lots of activities, shops and places to eat were closed. We didn't mind too much because we were looking for a relaxing and peaceful stay. It has to be amazing during the warmer months when you can take advantage of being outside and in the water. Since the house is right on the lake, we had beautiful views. I was lucky enough to catch an amazing sunrise. "The Sandlot" was exactly what you think of when you think family lakehouse. Rustic, cozy and charming. It felt very homey. The house was one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. The only issue we had were so many trips up and down the stairs. If you have any mobility issues like me, (bad knee) then you must be careful on the stairs. They can be kind of slippery in socks.

*5/5 Stars* My husband and I loved Adam's stunning lakefront Airbnb! The seamless self-check-in process and breathtaking views made for a perfect stay. The property's modern decor, cozy living area, and hot tub overlooking the lake were absolute highlights. Adam's exceptional care and attention made all the difference. We can't wait to return to this romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable getaway. *Thank you, Adam, for an unforgettable stay!*

We had a great time at Salma’s cabin! Everything was accurately depicted in the photos and between the included games and the hot tub we were able to spend an entire day just at the cabin. The location is excellent, you’re able to feel secluded but still close enough to Traverse City that you can run to town to grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. It’s a perfect location for checking out the city or exploring the wineries. Check in was easy and Salma was available should we have needed anything!

We had a lovely stay! The cottage was so cute and I just loved how they decorated it! We absolutely loved the hot tub and used it every day! We decided to walk down to the beach through all the snow, would love to stay in the summer when we can actually go swimming!! Ate at Peegeos twice during our stay, so close and so good, get the cheesecake! So delicious and made from scratch! We will definitely be back!

The cottage was great, clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful location right on the river. It was clear that our host has put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring that guests enjoy their stay and we did. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Linda's place was everything we could have wanted and more. It was the perfect cozy cabin, so close to our planned activities, nice and quiet/peaceful, and well stocked with anything we could need. Linda was very understanding and a great host. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!!!

Kelly was a wonderful host! She was excellent at communication, very friendly, flexible with our check-out time, and made our stay so warm and welcoming. The hot tub overlooking the lake was so fun and a beautiful setting. I wish we had more time there so we could have taken the kayaks out or enjoyed a bonfire! We'll have to come back another time. :) The house is only a 15-min drive from Pentwater and Mears State Park, so it's perfect for shopping, finding restaurants, and hiking. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

this place was a perfect getaway. the area of down town traverse city is amazing even when it’s cold out. lots of restaurants and wineries to go try. the cabin itself was super cute and cozy but still a modern finish. the hot tub was amazing and made the cabin whole. i absolutely would recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to travel to traverse city.

A slice of Heaven was a perfect getaway! My husband and I booked this spur of the moment and couldn’t be more happier! Dan was an incredible host, very responsive and accommodating making sure we had everything we needed. The location is secluded and the cabin was clean & cozy. We love it!

My family and I enjoyed our stay! The location was wonderful and the house was very clean. The owner went above and beyond when I mentioned I couldn't find charcoal for the grill. They surprised us by dropping it off that day. What caring hosts! I was very impressed! They also had PLENTY of supplies for us (toilet paper, paper plates, detergent, hand soap, kleenex...etc) This isn't always the case with rental properties. My kids and I enjoyed the welcome snacks. They were fun surprises. The only thing I would mention is the shower is very small (as described in the property). I had a tough time shaving and brushing my hair in there. There is also no disposal or dishwasher. These were not listed in the amenities so this is no fault of the owner. It's just something I didn't think to look for in the property description. I will know to watch for it in the future.

What a peaceful place. Holly was so responsive and helpful with checkin.

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!

"An Absolute Lakeside Gem!" Blue Haven was everything we hoped for and more! The beach-themed interior was impeccably clean and cozy, with plenty of blankets and linens to keep us comfortable. The large, unobstructed windows gave us a stunning panoramic view of Lake Michigan, making every moment feel like a scenic postcard. The patio was generous in size, equipped with comfortable furniture and even a charming two-seater swing, perfect for unwinding with a good book or simply soaking in the view. This spot was ideal for relaxing, watching breathtaking sunsets, and stargazing into the night. Blue Haven is truly a gem on the shore of Lake Michigan, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

This was my 2nd stay at Mandy’s. Everything was perfect as usual. The place is cozy and comfortable.

Great spot, exactly what we needed! It’s small and cozy, in a quiet area 10-15 minutes drive from anything you need. Smooth check in, clean spot, had whatever amenities you could think of. One thing: If you are taller than me (6’4) you may have some trouble with the bathroom. I made it work but were I an inch taller I wouldn’t have been able to fit for certain activities 😂

This place was absolutely wonderful and immediately felt like home! Itwas great to relax by the firepit, walk the path to the river, and we had a great time exploring the property. This was our second time in the area but our first time at this home. We will definitely be back!

What a lovely place! The views are stunning. The home is cozy. It is the best appointed kitchen I’ve seen from an AirBnB. Knives are sharp enough to cut a tomato! The beach is beautiful and very private. We had my 4 year old with us and there was plenty to keep him entertained. Would absolutely go back to this home.
