Had a great time place was very clean and host was very responsive and accommodating, would highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakefront cottage in Elk Rapids! The location is perfect with stunning views of the lake, and we especially loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring. The cottage was clean, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. The host was fantastic—communication was quick and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would love to return in the future! Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Larissa's place! The location is perfect - it's within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and a grocery/ general store. The hot tub was clean and secluded. Larissa was great with communication and instructions.

Even with cold, rainy weather, we still had the best weekend staying here! The cabin is so cozy with everything we needed, we felt right at home. Being right in the water was fantastic, especially enjoying the view from the hot tub on the colder days. If you're in the area I would highly recommend staying here!

Very great experience i would definitely recommend!

Linda’s place is in a great location if you’re in town for an event at Crystal Mountain. Less than 5 minutes from the resort with a great private lot. The hot tub was a real bonus. It was nice and for our arrival.

We had a great stay here. Outdoor views and the hot tub were perfect accompaniments for some beautiful fall weather. Space was clean and cozy and had everything we needed! Great place to stay.

We had a great time with family, 4 couples. The house was clean and very comfortable. The beds were cozy. Beautiful, private space right on the trails. Andreia was friendly. Very easy to check in and out. Highly recommend.

Melanie's place is always perfect—cute, peaceful, cozy, comfortable, and clean. We have stayed at Melanie's spot several times, and it is simply perfect. Our family have the best time at her place. Thank you, Melanie.

Everything was fantastic. Highly recommend this Airbnb. close to everything in Cadillac MI

We had a wonderful stay. I grew up on Big Platte Lake, so it was wonderful to share the memories, scenery, and great food with girlfriend. Thank you so much to our hosts, Javier and Virginia.

Great stay at Ben’s. Had a good weekend up north with the buddies and would do it again!

great cabin in the woods! close to Sleeping Bear dunes, Glen Arbor, etc.

My family, friends, and I enjoyed staying at Tim’s property once again. Tim is easy to reach if needed for anything, and was a great host. The property is well located and beautiful! Walking distance to dine out, or just a few minutes drive to get groceries, while still feeling tucked away. We hope to stay again next summer.

Cute, cozy cottage for our trip to northern Michigan for the ICEMAN MTB race. House was well stocked (Bluetooth music speakers, laundry soap, plenty of towels and extra blankets). We enjoyed our stay and of the three houses we stayed in for this annual trip, this was the cleanest and most convenient location. Thank you for being pet friendly too.

Cheryl’s place was a great place to stay. Cheryl’s communication was great and she is very understanding. Thank you Cheryl for a great place. K&M Roofing

This was our 5th stay at Sherri’s cottage, and I still have to rave about it! Every time we stay I appreciate how clean it is, cozy, how nicely it is decorated, Sherri’s attention to detail. It’s just the best! This time she had a Christmas tree 🎄 up and greenery to decorate. The fireplace is great, the wood was stacked beside it and ready to use. We had a lot of snow, but we were warm and comfortable. My husband actually cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal! Highly recommend this cottage, we always look forward to the next time!

This place is absolutely amazing. Every time we stay here, we love it even more! It's so close to SO MANY(!!!) ORV trails. We rode a couple hundred miles over a long weekend. The house is so clean and comfortable. The new fast wifi made finding things/mapping out our riding- so easy. The location of this house is so peaceful and beautiful . This was our third time staying here, we'll be back for a fourth.

I had a cozy and quaint stay at this cute cabin. While it was a bit on the smaller side, it gave me a glimpse into the past with its historical layout. The seating was all comfortable and there was enough room for at least six people. The bed was a tad too soft for my liking, but that's just a personal preference. The garage/mancave setup with a table was a unique touch that I enjoyed. The overall theme of the cabin was charming and each room was comfortable. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to use the firepit, but it looked inviting. I would definitely consider renting this place again, as there are many more adventures to be had in the surrounding area. Overall, a lovely and pleasant stay at this cabin.

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!

This air bnb was beautiful! It’s very private and on lots of land. My dogs loved running around!! There is a hiking trail right down the street that you can actually get to from the backyard. The host was very responsible and flexible, as we got snowed in and they offered us another night at a reduced price. There are hunters nearby so make sure to be safe with your dogs and wear the reflective jackets they provide if you’re exploring.

Jake's place was clean and comfortable. it is a good spot to stay if you're exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the surrounding attractions.

We had a wonderful stay at Hanley Lake Hideaway! The property was clean, well-maintained, and perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights for us was that the house was dog-friendly. We love to have our boys travel with us! Laurie was fantastic—responsive, friendly, and thoughtful. We would absolutely recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a serene retreat, especially if you’re traveling with your furry friends. M & N - Fort Wayne, IN

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 😂
