The Cozy Cottage close to town
We stayed here for two nights during our winter trip to Upper Michigan. The location is perfect for northern and Upper Peninsula travel. Chelsea's place had all the amenities that you can think of to make your stay comfortable. We were amazed by the attention to details on amenities and guest convenience. They also have a very nice information book for guests. Chelsea was very responsive before and throughoyt our stay. I'd highly recommend this place if you are visiting the area.

Little Betty blue , lakeside cottage.
Arlen was a great host who was responsive and very friendly. He made sure we were well settled in on arrival. Little Betty Bluehad everything we needed for our holiday from the board games to beautiful, peaceful surroundings and good outdoor amenities. Definitely worth a visit

Little Cottage On The Hill
Therapeutically peaceful. Great little place to get away from the rest of the world and both figuratively and literally unplug.

Rowyn's Resort - Cabin w/ Hot Tub Lakeside Retreat
Wonderful stay, beautiful property and a great location!

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
Really enjoyed our stay! The house was exactly as pictured and even cozier than we hoped for. The sunken living room was a wonderful place for my family of four to lounge and spend quality time together. Had the opportunity to use the hot tub and stomp around in the snow on the property. Anna was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations and directions. Would definitely stay here again.

Cottage by the Beach
Stephanie was a great host!! She responded quickly and was very helpful. She was also proactive and had snow shoveled from the drive way before we got there as well as the second day.

Countryside Cottage/Duplex Unit 7
Beautiful cozy cottage that was perfect for a little get away!

he location was fantastic, offering enough beds for our entire small group. It had an easy entry and a tranquil atmosphere. Yolanda was really quick to respond and ensured we had a fantastic experience.

Walnut:3BRTownhome/Downtown/Beach/Wineries.
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
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.

Front Street Retreat
Jim and Ann’s place was very nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. Location to downtown Traverse city was great. I would definitely stay here again.

Downtown TC Boutique Hotel Flat 205
Amazing one night stay in Room 205. The area is very walkable with many local restaurants and bars. Steve was very responsive to a check in question as well as let us know the Flat was available at 2 earlier than check in. Parking was included and very easy to find. I'd love for check out to be 11 rather than 10 but the bed and amenities of the flat were just as described. We can't wait to come back.

Large Apt | Downtown | AC | Beach | Shops | Walk |
This place was perfect. Great location. Everything was within walking distance. Highly recommend Troy and his properties.

Lake Charlevoix Lakeview Escape
Loved it. Peaceful; on marina - watching boats come and go with lots of things to do within a short walk.

Lake Huron best beach Historic Oakapiney 2br cabin
The Oakapiney is hidden gem. Tom and Sue are awesome and were really great hosts. The place was perfect for our 2 year old. There’s a little play structure, and the lake is calm and shallow for a long ways out. There are also several beach toys available to use, which was a nice surprise. We enjoyed the woods around the cabins, the peace and quiet, sunrises, many beach walks, playing board games, and exploring the area. Highly recommend Presque Isle Farms Cidery, Austin Brothers Brewery, and Wandering Winds Farm. Alpena has a park with a splash pad and big playground, too. We can’t wait to come back again next summer!

The kitchen was well-equipped, and overall home had a calm feel that made it easy to settle in. This Airbnb was perfect for my family and we will be back soon!

Against the Wind Vacation Rental
The house was excellent and exactly what we needed for our stay in the area. Close to our venue, the area has so much to explore and do. We were able to easily get to a lot of awesome places.

Fully Furnished 3 Bedroom Home, Close to Ferry's!
Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully provisioned. Perfect rendezvous point for family coming from Traverse City, Houghton, and WNY. Enjoyed a surprisingly sunny spring afternoon on the back porch. A good jumping off point for “up north” attractions, but we were happy to just cook together and visit.

Time for your Copper Country/Keweenaw Adventure!
We love staying here. It’s the perfect place for my family of three. Each of us have nice private bedrooms. There is a bathroom on both floors. The kitchen is large and well stocked. This is our second time staying and it is always clean and comfortable. Melanie is very helpful and responsive. It’s home away from home

Downtown home! Location, location!
Lee’s place is awesome location if you’re looking to stay in northern Michigan. Lots to do within walking distance to Traverse City but also very centrally located to other towns and things you’ll want to do/see in the area. Highly recommend!

"Little Betsy" Conveniently Located 2 Bedroom
Exactly as expected, thank you!!

Cozy 2 bedroom house. Available short or long term
I enjoyed staying at Crystal’s place for 2 weeks, it was spacious and bright! Felt right at home 👍🏼

Nice place!
Your guide to Upper Peninsula of Michigan
All About Upper Peninsula of Michigan
The Upper Peninsula can feel a little like the Wild West of the Midwest: scenic, rugged, remote, a place that takes determination to live in year-round and inspires awe in visitors. The 300-mile-long peninsula, whose triangular shape is framed by Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron, is one of those regions that rewards long stays and excursions outdoors — both the warm-weather kind (hunting, hiking) and winter sports. From the Porcupine Mountains, near the Wisconsin border, to Sault Ste. Marie just over the water from Canada, the UP promises rocky coastlines, lush waterfalls, and old-growth forests. The 300,000 Yoopers who live here year-round extend a good-natured Midwestern welcome to those traveling through.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Located to the north of Wisconsin, with boundaries defined by two Great Lakes, the Upper Peninsula is no tropical destination. After a glorious, crisp fall, the snow begins falling in October and doesn't stop for six months. Don’t stint on packing winter wear, good boots, and possibly snowshoes in case you have car trouble. Spring rushes through the region in April and May, then yields to a glorious few months from June through August, where the temperatures hang in the 70s Fahrenheit and occasionally slip higher. Bring shorts and swimwear for the daytime, and light long-sleeve shirts and pants for the evening — black flies and mosquitos can be a nuisance.
Top things to do in Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Tahquamenon Falls State Park
This 50,000-acre state park in the east of the UP is densely covered in trees and home to one of the largest waterfalls in the United States, with a spectacular 50-foot drop. A four-mile hike through maples and beeches brings you to a second set of cascades; the park makes off-road track chairs available for wheelchair users to explore both falls.
Sault Ste. Marie
When the Soo Locks connecting Lakes Superior and Huron opened in 1855, wealth and industry came to the Upper Midwest. It’s still hypnotic to watch the massive ships traveling between the Atlantic and Minnesota rise and descend. The town itself is a pleasure to meander around, too, with a lively dining and arts scene.
Marquette
Marquette, the largest city on the peninsula, combines the charm of a college town with unparalleled access to Lake Superior and the surrounding wildlife. Miles of mountain bike trails wind around the outskirts of the city. The Marquette Maritime Museum and the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse, open during the summer months, display the fascinating history of sea travel on the world’s biggest freshwater lake.
Keweenaw Peninsula
Old mining towns dot this remote peninsula-on-a-peninsula in the western third of the region; the Cornish pasties miners introduced to Michigan are the most obvious remnant of the once-thriving industry. The town of Copper Harbor is a good base for your explorations, whether they include staying on the shore to see the Northern Lights or hiking the trails of Fort Wilkins Historic State Park.
