Couldn’t have been better! Definitely exceeded our expectations! This Airbnb was one of my favorites I have ever booked! Great location, walkable to multiple restaurants and stores including a grocery store, beautifully decorated, and the beds were very comfortable and clean. A perfect spot for a girls trip, already planning our next one!

Modern & Cozy Studio | Walk to Downtown & Beach

EmilyRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Incredibly cute apartment within walking distance to the main area on Front St. Troy provided plenty of instructions for parking and getting in and made sure to check in periodically via the app to make sure I had everything I needed. There was even a welcome cider waiting when I arrived. Individual hotel-esque soap kits were provided from Sojo.

Jude's Respite: Ebikes ~Dog Park~Pickleball ~Beach

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Andrew's place was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. Location at the end of town was perfect for walking to local dining and shopping. We appreciate an AirBnB host that values the need for guests to travel with their dog. Our dog felt right at home with amenities ranging from feeding bowls, leash, treats and even a dog bed. Overall, a great stay and will stay again.

Up North Retreat | Castle Farms-Lake Chx-Ski Boyne

ColleenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This home was a perfect place for a women's mini retreat weekend. It was a very comfortable space for 6 ladies. A suggestion would be a little heater in the main floor master bath for colder months would be helpful. It is quite chilly in there. We hope to stay again sometime.

Beautiful Traverse City Lakehouse - pets allowed

NatalieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was an incredible experience. Brenden helped me out when I was in a panic about where to stay after a previous reservation had fallen through. Very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and house was clean. Garage was spacious and rooms were perfect for guests we had. The only bummer was the rain all weekend to not enjoy the outdoors/lake but the company was good! Would highly recommend not only this property but Brenden as a host!

Whole house downtown, with kid and adult bikes

KristinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very cute stay! Very clean, somewhat sparse kitchen amenities, but enough for us to prep and cook a meal. The ductless AC/hearing units were tricky to figure out. Most importantly, both bathrooms are on the main floor, which is not clear from the listing. This meant my friend who cannot do stairs without assistance slept on the couch downstairs so she didn’t have to wake us up if when she needed the restroom. Overall a very nice place, but wish a couple things had been more clear.

We had a wonderful weekend and totally enjoyed the Condo. It was clean, organized and we felt right at home. We most definitely would stay there again. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent from you. It was nice to have a home, instead of just hotel rooms. Excellent experience.

Pine Acres Getaway North

MatthewRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Timothy was an excellent host. He was very responsive to my initial questions as someone who is newer to renting an AirBnB and was quick to help when I called about an issue with one of the smoke alarms on arrival (extremely minor, just a faulty battery, but I wanted to make sure to ask before deactivating it). Overall a nice place to stay, I would definitely return in the future!

Your guide to Mackinaw City

All About Mackinaw City

Situated at the top of Michigan’s lower peninsula, just south of the magnificent Mackinac Bridge, is Mackinaw City — a charming coastal village with dazzling turquoise-blue waters, lush greenery, and well-preserved historic structures. The area is home to a few of Michigan’s historic lighthouses, including McGulpin Point Lighthouse and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse. Both lighthouses are open for visitors and include observation decks. Ferry and boat rides along the indigo waters of the Straits of Mackinac provide scenic views of the beautiful surrounding landscape and trips between two nearby towns, St. Ignace and Mackinac Island.

Downton Mackinaw City offers a unique shopping experience, where you can wander small local businesses, try the city’s famous fudge, find souvenirs, or grab a bite to eat at one of the town eateries. At the Mackinaw Bridge Museum, you’ll be able to learn about the city’s enduring ties to the sea and admire its symbolic landmarks. The area also offers boundless nautical adventures, including sailing, kayaking, parasailing, and ziplining over waterfalls.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Mackinaw City

Mackinaw City experiences warm summers with cool breezes, providing optimal beach-going conditions, trips to the park, and other outdoor recreational activities. The fall and spring seasons bring pleasant conditions for exploring the city when the temperatures are relatively mild and the nights are cool. During the fall months, the leaves of maple, birch, sumac, and oak trees adorn Mackinaw City and the surrounding towns in vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow. A scenic drive through the city is one of the best ways to take in this colorful display. If you happen to be in town during Labor Day weekend, you can partake in the city’s longstanding tradition of allowing pedestrians to walk around the Mackinac Bridge for one day during the year.


Top things to do in Mackinaw City

Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse

For decades, the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, one of Michigan’s historic lighthouses, has assisted passing ships as they navigate the choppy waters of the Straits of Mackinac. You can climb the picturesque lighthouse tower, where you’ll be able to soak up magnificent views of the Straits of Mackinac, the Great Lakes, and the picturesque Mackinaw Bridge. You can also visit the restored keeper’s quarters.

Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park

Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park is nestled on the shoreline of the Straits of Mackinac and encompasses over 600 acres. The vast park offers miles of walking trails, lush and dense forests, vibrant wildflowers, and scenic views. You can also enjoy a canopy bridge, zipline, and climbing wall. The five-story treetop observation tower provides an exciting way to take in the lush and scenic natural landscape.

Mackinaw Bridge Museum

The Mackinaw Bridge Museum provides opportunities to learn about the famously picturesque Mackinac Bridge. Over five miles long, the bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere and stretches across the Straits of Mackinac. The Mackinaw Bridge Museum features an informative and curated collection of documents, photographs, diving suits, and tools to construct the bridge, providing insight on this extensive engineering feat and highlighting a piece of Mackinaw City’s history.
