Long Lake Therapy-HotTub/FirePlace&Pit/AC/ByBeach
House was just perfect. It was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Reasonable distance from Traverse City and attractions such as Sleeping Bear dunes. Amazing surroundings and environment. Comfortable beds too. The hot spa was a bonus. Thank you for the gift of wine and Cherry Republic chocolate! Both locally made! We enjoyed our stay!

Hot Tub & West Bay Waterfront - All Decked Out
This house is just as promised in all the photos. A beautiful house with a gorgeous view. Kitchen was equipped with all you need to do cooking or dining in while staying. All the spaces were clean and tidy with all the little things thought of like little throw blankets in the living areas to use, to puzzles and family & group friendly games. The hot tub overlooking the private lake access was perfect to enjoy in the evenings. Also the location! Cant beat it, close enough to downtown Traverse City to enjoy all the shopping and restaurants but far enough up on the peninsula to be close to many wineries and the downtown Sutton Bay area. We would definitely recommend this house and will be back when were in the area again.

The Burdhouse, in the heart of Traverse City
The Burdhouse is uniquely beautiful. It’s colorful. The amenities are plentiful. It’s laid out well for multiple groups. It has a rich history, noted in Tammy’s book. The location is wonderful, slightly off the beaten path, but within walking distance of restaurants and activities. Tammy is an awesome host. She contacts you in advance and makes sure you have no questions. She is also readily available during your stay. We were in town for my daughter‘s wedding and this was the perfect place to stay.

Urban Gem: Mins to Beach & Downtown W/Hot tub!
Where do I start… this was the perfect getaway for myself, my husband and our fur baby. The house was exactly as described and is placed in the most peaceful neighborhood - while also being minutes away from everything Traverse City has to offer! Ramy is the most wonderful host; answering all our questions and suggesting some great local spots as well. We felt immediately at ease and truly could enjoy our vacation thanks to Ramy and this perfect lil home. We hope to be back next time we visit Traverse City! ☺️

The Kaiser House *3 minutes to Down Town *Sleeps 8
Place was exactly as described. Perfect location for our needs and the ability to bring our dogs was a huge plus. House was spacious and well kept. Would stay here again

The Triple L (The Long Lake Life)
Beautiful lakefront property. The host is very kind and always responsive. The host includes so many amenities letting you make the most of the ease of access to the lake. Plenty of space for a big family trip. The location is very close to Trevor City. Yuu are a little close to the road but that isn't too bad. I would definitely love to book again closer to summer. It was a little cold for water activites during our trip. the rooms are bigger than they look in the pictures which is really nice. I would definitely stay again.

4BR Home, King Bed, BBQ, By Lake, 7mi to Airport
Robert's place was great for us. Ended up being just 4 people, so it was way more space than we needed. Would have been comfortable with a much bigger group as well. We loved that it was equipped with all necessary kitchen and bath items and we absolutely loved that we were asked specifically NOT to strip beds, do laundry, fold towels, etc. We'll return.

Green Lake Getaway Hot Tub Kayaks/SUP Fire Pit
Not even sure where to begin! We booked this for my friends low-key bachelorette party and it was the most perfect place for us to relax and unplug! Shana was an amazing host, always communicating via the app in a very timely manner. The house was pristine and SO cute! It was clean and stocked with everything you could need (paddle board, kayaks, life jackets, wood, spare tooth brushes, ample towels, kitchen items, coffee were some of our favorites). The ONLY complaint - which is to no fault of the host - is that the mosquitos were thick at all hours of the day so be mindful of that :) have already reccomended this place to many friends and hoping I can back here soon too. 10/10 recommend!

Copper Falls. Short Walk To The Beach!
The place was very clean, which is always my #1 priority. It was tastefully decorated. There was a musty smell, I’m sure caused by the concrete. We left the windows open and febreezed often and that seemed to help. The only thing I wasn’t happy with was the bed. The bed and pillows were not comfortable at all. I would stay here again, if there was a different mattress and pillows. The location was great for us! The traffic noise wasn’t a problem for us. We really enjoyed the short walk to the water! Very nice.

Vineyard Retreat Near Torch Lake
It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

Relax On Beautiful Silver Lake Near Traverse City.
My partner and I’s stay at Jeffrey and Holly’s suite was outstanding. The space felt incredibly homely, with cozy decor and thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was spotless and well-equipped with snacks, coffee, beach amenities, you name it - and we loved using their kayaks for exploring Silver Lake. They were friendly and provided smooth check-in instructions. The price for the area far beats any hotel we could have booked considering how comfortable, clean, and private the unit was. As other reviews said, mechanical noises and footsteps can be heard, but this did not bother us at all. We loved this unit so much, we will probably check the availability for our next trip to TC. This was hands down the best AirBNB we’ve ever stayed at. Highly recommend!

Luxurious Firehouse Apartment in Downtown Traverse
This is the best stay for Traverse City. The location is the absolute best. Everything you want to do in the city is walkable. The parking spot was right across the street and if you wanted to rent additional spots it was very easy to do. Highly recommend!

Cypress Street Escape
My husband and I had such a relaxing stay at Linda's! We came for three nights for a family vacation and my sister and my mom both had separate AirBNBs in the same building. Linda's Condo was so nice. When they stopped in, they were so surprised at how nice and clean it was compared to theirs. Linda had all the amenities and was so communicative every step of the way. We loved the little touches she brought to help us have an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!

West End Apartment
We were in town for the Bayshore Half Marathon and initially expected a group of five, but it ended up being just two couples. The condo was perfect for our group! The parking was clearly marked, and we had the place to ourselves. It was easy to access, and we even tried out the elevator. At first, we weren’t sure which building was ours since there are several nearby, but once we got our bearings, everything was smooth. The location truly can’t be beat — we were able to walk to almost everything! The views are absolutely stunning. I only wish we had better weather so we could have spent more time outside enjoying them. The condo itself was clean and comfortable, with just the right amount of space for the four of us. Having two bathrooms, a cozy living area, and separated sleeping spaces made our stay really comfortable. We’d love the chance to stay here again in the future!

Luxury on Chandler Lake, with kayaks! Close to TC!
We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

LIfe is Better At The Lake: Kathy's on Spider Lake
The setting on the lake is gorgeous and the small apartment made the most of the space available! We will be back.

Little Skip Cottage, on the Bay
Little Skip Cottage was absolutely gorgeous & cozy — just perfect for our honeymoon. We loved everything about it and will certainly be back!

4 bd / 3 ba light front home
Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

Long Lake Getaway near TC
This was our second year renting Fred’s cottage, but definitely not our last! We absolutely fell in love with the place from day one and couldn’t wait to come back. It was exactly as we remembered the second time around! Beautiful views, lovely waterfront “fire pit living room” with a fishing row boat that our group used several times with chairs for the whole family, and an utterly cozy and charming cottage with many functional rooms and toys and games for the kids. Even better than the photos!

Private Waterfront Cottage | Lake Michigan Beach
We really enjoyed our stay at this property - hosts were highly responsive and accommodating to our requests. Highly recommend!

Waterfront Cottage in Elk Rapids, Michigan
We had a wonderful stay in my favorite up north town. Chelsea’s place was adorable and it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to be. Loved the yard, the water, the decor…everything was perfect.

Sunset Loch Cottage - Lakefront in Traverse City
My husband and I took our pup to this place to celebrate Thanksgiving and loved the amazing spacious kitchen! The view was incredible (even during a blizzard!) and we felt right at home. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Arbutus Lake Cozy Cabin-Pontoon Rentals Available
We had an amazing stay! The space was exactly as described - clean, stylish, and cozy. It was an ideal location, close enough to shops, restaurants, and trails, but still tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful. Would recommend!

Summer Sand & Fun Beachfront Traverse City Cottage
Great couple of days in Traverse City. Felt at home in the house and loved checking out some of the restaurants nearby. Jeff was a great host and we appreciated his communication and kindness!
