Holiday rentals with a kayak in Fife Lake

My family loved this cabin. It was one of our favorite AirBnBs. Beautiful backyard and hiking trails. Cool and funky decor. The front porch was nice to drink coffee on in the mornings. We took a peaceful canoe ride. Kitchen was supplied and everything was clearly labeled. Thank you for the stay.

We stayed for a weekend with family and our fur babies and had an amazing time. Courtney let us check in earlier which was nice of her and we got to enjoy the water. The water was just as described crystal clear. House was super clean and cozy. We will definitely stay again next year.

It was exactly as James and Sena described the place. It was a quick drive to Traverse City but far enough away for peacefulness. James and Sena responded to our request for the heat to be turned up right away. They had snacks and all the amenities you could ever want. They also let us take home one of their ceramic pieces which was really sweet of them. (only the ones from the bathroom closet though - don't take their décor.) Diane and Mark Dawdy

The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

Cozy place with a great view of the lake. Perfect location for our annual fishing trip to the Traverse City area.

Perfect for the whole family. We booked for my son’s 3rd birthday and I’m so glad we did! We had trouble finding an Airbnb that was dog friendly without a weight limit. Not only did they allow our gentle giant, they accommodated him with inside and outside crating. It was a bit chilly but my son stayed busy the whole week. There was plenty of toys for inside as well as the beach. The water was shallow enough that it warmed up quick despite the wind. We did lots of fishing both off the dock and on the boats. We caught blue gill, bass, and perch. The house was cozy but big enough for all our guests. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, especially with all the stuff we didn’t think to bring. There was also plenty of linens. We enjoyed the amenities and the lake vibe decorations. The location was close to cutesty Lake City and a doable drive to the big cities. We would book again for our next trip to Traverse City!

House location was 12/10. Couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Walking distance to trails and sits right on the lake. Kids loved playing in and on the water with the kayaks provided. Would highly recommend the home to family and friends and would stay here anytime our family returns to the area. House was as advertised and Joe was very responsive and offered local trails and areas to eat.

Pure heaven! One of the most peaceful, beautiful, and comfortable stays we’ve had! Pristine interior with outstanding views of lake, every amenity (including beach toys) we could have wanted. The perfect couples getaway to recharge our batteries. Would be great for young families too. Bass Lake is divine for kayaking among the lily pads and loons, watching the sunsets, or just chilling on the deck. My husband was pouting all the way home as we hated to leave. Check-in was super easy, everything was top notch start to finish. Can’t wait to rebook next year.

We enjoyed our stay at John’s. It was just a described. The kids loved the paddle boards, kayaks and floating dock. We appreciated all the recommendations that were provided on the wall and in the books around the house. The kitchen had everything needed for us to eat most meals at the house and the grill was nice.

We originally booked a different cottage in Ludington….only to find out we accidentally booked it for the wrong date. We cancelled that reservation and booked this location instead. Host responded immediately- huge relief to us since we were already on our way to the area. Directions to the house were spot on, which made it easy to find. Even though this was a last minute reservation, the house was ready for us. Yes, the furniture is dated but that was fine with us. There is so much to do in the area that we were gone most of the time. However, we did spend some time at the house to do some fishing out on the lake- they have a boat and canoe onsite that we were able to take out. Our last night there, we sat out by the fire pit and stargazed while we fished. It was perfect! Communication with host couldn’t have been any better. They checked in with us to make sure all was going well and responded right away when I accidentally locked ourselves out of the house. Would stay again.

Great place to stay, this was our second time staying here and will def book again!

By far our favorite Airbnb, cozy furniture and beds, swimming spot is so much fun. This is our third time staying and we just love it. Thank you for always being a great host! See you next yr

This is our second time staying at Laurie’s Airbnb and we love it. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the winter wonderland up there. Laurie is very communicative and very helpful. The place is comfy and we love that we can bring our dogs!

The Memory Maker was all that we hoped for and so much more. We had initially intended to find an Airbnb on Torch Lake but once we saw this place we booked it right away and it was the perfect choice. We still trailered the boat a quick ride to Torch for an adventure but spent the majority of our trick on Elk Lake and loved it. This Airbnb thought of everything and we wanted for nothing! We took our four adult children and their significants and our grandbaby and we all had plenty of room to enjoy our stay! Hank and Alaina

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 😂

My family & I loved it . Everyone was content just staying at the cottage . Lol but we did check out A couple of the recommendations & they were very nice !! Great stay will definitely book again !!

We had a great weekend. The cabin is lovely. We hiked at the nearby nature area, fished in the lake & surrounding areas, and explored downtown. We made breakfasts and dinners at the cabin and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were all comfortable. We enjoyed the variety of boats available.

Great little cabin! Homey and inviting. Nice views and well priced. Everything you’ll need is there for a little getaway. Mardi was responsive and even let us check out later even when we didn’t ask for that! Pretty cool place. Very chill. Only thing we didn’t really care about was for was the moth ball smell as soon as we walked in. Great place overall! Would stay again.

The cabin was perfect. So many useful amenities. Perfect for our family snowmobiling trip.

My wife and I went here with our two dogs for our 4 year anniversary and the location was perfect. It was very peaceful and we are very happy that we were able to stay at this property and make memories.

Our family had an amazing time. Great location.

We loved Dave's place! The house was very comfortable and access to the lake was excellent. My family loved being able to fish and play in the lake when we weren't out sight seeing in Traverse City. We had the resort all to ourselves the week we were there, so it was our own private oasis!

Jeff and Ashlee are both amazing. We felt so at home. The cabin was more than we hoped for. You feel like you’re sitting right on the beach from pretty much anywhere in the cabin. We started looking for availability for our next trip before we even left. We already miss the two Eagles and the mallard ducks! It was our 47th anniversary and staying in the fishbowl made it perfect. Don’t have one negative thing to say.

My husband and I enjoyed a week of blissful rest in this quiet and private cottage. We walked to the beach of Torch Lake and took photos of the sunset. We took the ferry to Mackinac Island and traveled by horse and buggy around the island. We enjoyed shopping in Alden and Bellaire, including Carters Candles and Brownwood Acres. We liked having a Keurig coffee maker and new cookware to make our meals. The large standard fridge, stove, deep farm sink, and washer/dryer gave us all the comforts of home. I highly recommend staying at one of Chip’s properties!
