Very comfortable, woodwork and furniture were excellent.

Unique 7 bedroom Round House Petoskey Mi
Bob contacted me the day before and was great to communicate with. We even left something behind and he was gratuitous enough to send it to us. Great hosts !!!

Pine Acres Getaway North
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!

Relaxing home
Our family traveled 4 hours to this place for a baseball tournament in petoskey. We absolutely loved this home and location we got to see the northern lights and meteor showers It was clean and lots of space. Would recommend again and again Thank you

Luxury Harbor House- Pet-Friendly, Hot Tub!
Such a beautiful home! The indoor pool was a hit with our kids because of some chilly weather. We enjoyed our stay.

Lakeside Retreat
Walk out basement to the few steps to get to the beach area. Well stocked kitchen. Recommend bringing your own water if desired ( well water I believe) . Beautiful sunsets. Game room was fun .. bring quarters to play though . Highly recommend

Timber Valley Chalet Ask about seasonal discounts
We have stayed at Timber Valley multiple times as a family and it is always a yearly highlight getaway for us. Kristi's place is very cozy and inviting especially being surrounded by the woods and nature. The house is the perfect size for our family of six and we have even had additional family stay with is in the past with more than enough room to accommodate our needs. Kristi is always responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns that come up. You can't go wrong with a stay at Timber Valley!

Leelanau Modern Farm Cottage-NEW HOT TUB 2025
My husband & I rented Melissa's cottage for a weekend getaway to Traverse City. It was so peaceful & the home was just as described/pictured. The gifts left for us were delicious & made us feel very welcome. The hot tub was perfect for cold mornings & evenings. The cottage was clean & decorated lovely (LOVE all the books!). We feel we chose the perfect rental for our weekend! Leelanau county has a lot to offer & more than we realized! We wine tasted on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City, but apparently there were nice wineries even closer - & one just a couple miles down the road from this rental! The heat worked well and the fireplace was such a nice touch for the winter. I'm so glad it's usable! Thank you again for sharing your cottage with us!

Peak O' Leelanau-Scenic and Relaxing Retreat in TC
We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful cabin retreat! The location was perfect—set on top of a hill with tons of land to explore. It was so quiet and private, exactly what we were looking for. Our kids had an absolute blast running around and adventuring through the woods and open spaces. The whole family loved being able to disconnect and enjoy nature together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting! We also really appreciated the little things, such as the welcome bottle of wine. Great stay!

Boulan Barn
Stayed here with a few friends over our college break, it was an awesome time and the perfect space for a group of college students to relax and all be together. Lots of activities within the house (ping pong, pool table, cornhole, darts) which made the trip better. Great fridge space and bathrooms/showers worked well. More than enough sleeping spaces for me and all my friends. Would highly recommended to any large group looking for a fun getaway!

NW Michigan house w/ lake & woods
My wife and I had a few days off for a fall break. Dennis' place was a perfect spot. The drive there and the surrounding woods were vibrant with color. The place was comfortable, well-suited for a short or long stay, and was stocked with plenty to do. The short path to the lake is great, and the dock provides a lovely view. We spent hours just sitting on the dock chairs reading. We were fortunate to have beautiful sunny days. We took the short drive into Traverse City to go to Trattoria Stella, one of our very favorite restaurants. We also took a short hike out back to connect to the Mt Minnie trail and thoroughly enjoyed that hike. Being minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, and Franfort was a perfect location. Our last evening, we went 15 minutes to Peterson Beach and watched the sun set and stayed to watch all the stars emerge in the darkness. It was amazing! We didn't, but we could have built a fire there on the beach.. We hope to return. Thanks Dennis!

Private Frontage Silver Lake Cottage w/boat rental

MI Black Bear Lodge - Comfort in the Woods

Bernie's: Downtown: Walk to Lake and restaurants
We absolutely loved Lindsay's rental. I would buy this as my cottage. So well done. They went above and beyond with all the details. Thoughtfully planned vacation rental. We hope to stay again!

Au Sable River Getaway
Bill was a very nice and responsive host, giving us anything from movie recommendations to good restaurants in the area. Any time I messaged him with questions he messaged back within the hour. The house was just as beautiful as expected and very well cleaned and maintained. I definitely plan on going back in the future!

Serene and Clean! Near beaches and wineries!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home! The home was very spacious for our group of 5. We did struggle to find Ubers and Lyfts and taxis seem to book up quickly so we would suggest planning rides in advance. Other than that we couldn’t have asked for a better space and location for our trip! Annemarie is a great host and kept us informed and up to date throughout our entire stay. Would definitely recommend!

Crystal Cottage
Lovely home and walking distance to everything!

Pine Creek Cove 3 Bed 20 ac. Pond/Creek & Trails
Alicia is the best host ever. Always flexible if needed. I always feel right at home when I book with her. You need nothing other than your gear and clothes. Thank you for being such an amazing host for all the years I have been coming up there.

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

Bayside Bungalow: West Bay Views Minutes to TC
We had a restful stay! The house is adorable Midcentury Modern with so much charm, thoughtful amenities and a cozy atmosphere that makes the house instantly feel like home. Spotlessly clean, lots of extra attention to the details of a family trip or wine weekend excursion. Great recommendations for food and wine lovers. We really enjoyed our stay. We’d love to come back and stay longer.

Place was great for a an early spring golf trip. Close to Arcadia Bluffs, Manistee, Bear Lake, and Benzonia. House was clean and check out instructions were clear.
