Beautiful Historic Building on Manistee River Walk
Great place to stay in downtown Manistee, with close proximity to all that the city has to offer. I would highly recommend it and would certainly stay here again.

Lake City Landings Unit 1
Lovely place RIGHT on the lake. My husband and I went for a date weekend of ice fishing and relaxation. Yes-it was a perfect spot to walk out and fish despite the quantities of snow! Restaurants all right there in walking distance- hours are different than what is on menus or online so be aware. Very clean and cozy place that was spacious and warm. We will definitely keep it on our list for the future!

Unit #32, One Bedroom, Lakeside, Ludington Beach House
We loved the idea of converting an old motel into a more comfortable and spacious place right across from the beach. The bed was comfortable, "living" room space with table, microwave and fridge were just what we needed, and folks we met were very friendly. We'd stay here again!

Secluded & Quiet on the Beautiful Kalamazoo River
Very beautiful place. Secluded and peaceful, perfect for a quiet weekend away. Has a cute little town not too far away with plenty of places to eat and activities to participate in. Would definitely come back!

Comfortable apartment next to the Lift Bridge
This is a great space and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area. It is obviously cared for as if it was an extension of someone’s home and you can feel that when you’re there. Extremely cozy and comfortable. Well stocked with all the necessities and super close to downtown, not to mention the fantastic , coffee, donuts and pasties at the shop Downstairs!

Kerban's Overlook
Loved it! Will always stay here when I visit the college

Random Point: Apartment Tree House
Of all the Airbnb places we've stayed, this has got to be our favorite. The surroundings are breathtaking, the apartment above the garage is very well appointed with plenty of towels, blankets, glassware, etc. We had lots of snow during our weekend and the snow plow cleared the long driveway 2-3 times. Our hosts were very friendly and responsive. We had our family of four and there was plenty of room for all of us. We really enjoyed the sauna. We'll be back for sure. thank you for a great weekend.

Spacious Apt Steps from the Beaver Island Ferry
This apartment had room to spare! It was well-stocked, very clean, and was filled with sunlight. What struck us the first time we entered, and each time afterwards, was just how roomy the apartment was. The 10-foot ceilings only added to the feeling of spaciousness. And since we were there after the busiest part of the season, it was also blessedly quiet. The attached deck was a bonus that offered a beautiful view of the harbor.

Lakefront living at its best!
Great location for ice fishing. Listing is accurate, spacious and clean. Will definitely book again and look forward to checking this home out for a summer trip. Host is very responsive, friendly and helpful!

HarborBeach Haven & Event Lodge! 300' of Lakefront
Great space for large groups! The restaurant kitchen made meals easy! The individual hotel rooms were nice so everyone had their private space. The beach was definitely not swimmable. It was very mucky. We did not have swimming weather anyhow! The air in the main part was a challenge. It was a large room, but didn’t seem like it was cooling the area.

Beautiful waterfront on channel with boat dock
We’ve stayed at Kal’s place a handful of times now. We enjoy the space and convince of the river access. He’s very responsive when you send him messages, and accommodates with anything needed. Great host! We will be back to stay!

Welcome to lake living on Lk. St. Clair. 3 bd 2bth
Our 2nd stay at Troy’s!!! More trips coming also this summer! As I stated before, super lake front home- just perfect! Safe, restaurant within walking distance! Plenty of room for truck and boat! Close to numerous boat launches! The home is just perfect decor and waking up with the sun/lake in your face makes this home a huge bargain! Also can dock quickly can grab some lunch or anything you forgot on boat! Thanks Again Holly & some fisherman from Ohio

Escape Reality Docked on Sand Point
Our stay was incredible! We had 7 adults total and had more than enough room. The pool table and streaming availability was awesome. Because of the time of year, we weren’t able to use the outdoor bonfire pits or screened porch but they looked amazing! A bit pricey, but split between everybody was the same price as a hotel would’ve been and we got to stay with friends!

Waterfront Cottage with Covered Boat Slip
This place was perfect for my family and cousins. It had everything we needed, the host was quick and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront House on Huron Bay (Lake Superior)
We loved staying at Kyle’s place! The host was responsive and provided clear instructions and suggestions. The house was very clean and spacious, and had everything we needed. There was plenty of comfortable seating - loved the porch and outdoor space. The mattress was super comfortable, which is important to my old bones after a day of hiking/exploring! We were only two people, but you could easily accommodate a large family or group and have plenty of room! We loved the remote waterfront location, it was so quiet and peaceful. We explored the Baraga County area (recommend the Lake and County tour), easily made day trips east to the Michigamme area and west to the Keweenaw and to Houghton for a MTU football game. We even got to see the Northern Lights right from the yard! It was a great time and we are already talking about coming back!

Spacious 5 bedroom lakefront home
Beautiful lake side home. No air conditioning which makes it hot upstairs. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. Would stay there again once the lake level rises to its original levels.

Cozy Lakefront Condo - Excellent Location!
Close to skiing, very comfortable and private.

Downtown w/Hot tub, on Front St w/ Bay view! 3
Beautiful and comfortable place, excellent view of the bay, within walking distance of all downtown TC. Loved it.

Penthouse Studio on Grand Traverse East Bay
Wonderfull stay- location was close to TC and right on the water. Place was emaculate and host was responsive within 20 min. Would definitely stay again. Quiet, private, and great place to sleep. Bed was really comfortable and shower with multiple heads and sprays was wonderful on the cold winter nights. Saw 2 bald eagles right out our window! Highly recommended!

Fabulous unique downtown adventure plus boardwalk
Awesome location, great condo! Gladys is a responsive, friendly host! This was our 2nd stay at their unit, and will definitely rent again!

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
This may be one of my new favorite Air BNB spots! It is very comfortable and close to a lot of spots in Traverse City. The beach view was also very nice to look at. Kara is a great host and provided us with clear check in and check out instructions. Will definitely be visiting again!

Marina View Condo - Minutes from Grand Haven
Had a great stay at the condo for a few days! Great location. Quiet area but a quick drive to shops and the beach

"THE NEST" Condo on Lake Michigan Lighthouse View
Absolutely the perfect place to find your inner peace and re-energize! The Nest is exactly that. It is so warm, comfortable and secure that it just so serene. The view is almost undesirable as it took my breath away and brought happy tears to my eyes. As a 60 year old mom of 2 amazing kiddos 11 and 9 who are both Neurodivergent it was the best medicine for my heart and soul. We will be back hopefully many times as both of my kiddos felt right at home. My husband as well was in awe of this Treasure I was able to find. Thank you Charlie and Suzy for allowing our little family enjoy something that never would have imagine as possible for us. it was heaven on earth.

Clean & Cozy Lake MI Studio w/ Water Views
This place is so cozy and homey. It was extremely clean and roomy. Elissa was always available and is a great host. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks Elissa!
