Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Kalkaska County

house was super clean, beds were very comfy and there were lots of pillows and blankets. plenty of things in the kitchen we could use! overall it was a comfortable stay.

Our group had an amazing time! The property was clean, spacious, and perfect for us. The house had comfy beds, a great kitchen, and ample hangout space. The garage was a fantastic spot for games and fun. Jenny was responsive and made check-in easy. Great location, too! 5 stars - highly recommend!

The view of the lake on 3 different levels was amazing. Each room has a lakeview, the game room was awesome for keeping everyone entertained when we would come in to warm up. Nice subtle spot tucked back in the woods. The communication was great and they went out of their way to be sure we had everything that was needed. Comfortably fit 7 people (4 adults, 3 preteens) with no problem.

This was perfect for our little getaway from home! The water was so relaxing as well as kept the kids busy. They generously have paddle boards and kayaks which were a huge hit. The board games surprisingly kept our teens busy for hours at night so we loved having those. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Good location. Quiet setting in the woods. Clean. Responsive host. Plenty of parking. Close to Torch River boat launch.

The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

We had a wonderful stay the weekend of Feb 15th-17th. The house has a beautiful cabin feel and was spacious enough for 5 adults and 1 teenager. All the amenities you need. Great location for skiing at Shanty Creek (20min drive) and Boyne Mountain (30min drive). Definitely a lot of snow in Feb. and need 4x4 for driveway and driving in the area. Highly recommend staying here. Sue, property manager, is great, proactive in her communication and always responsive. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Great home and location, right near torch lake and the marina. Very peaceful, and beautiful views, especially at sunset. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in the area!

We had a wonderful stay at Richard's condominium! The condo is apart of a larger resort, Shanty Creek, and with the passes that were left for us to use, we were never bored! We explored the Lakeview Hotel and pool amenities there, the private beach, and the Shuss Mountain resort as well. This was especially nice for the 12 year old we had with us. There was a couple staying next to us (not under Richard's purview), who had loud dogs who would not stop barking but after messaging Richard, we heard them very rarely and then not at all, so we really appreciated the timely response we had from him and the action he took by informing the HOA for that condo. The little touches here and there were also really appreciated, like the fan/lightbulb fan charm cords so we knew which cord was for the light and which was for the fan. We plan on coming back for sure! Highly recommended place for people of all ages to enjoy.

We loved our stay at Wildwood Lodge! The property is on a barely traveled road and feels secluded (only one neighbor is visible but it does not impede on enjoying any of the hang out areas). The house was really well appointed with amenities (towels, kitchen gadgets/utensils) and was kept very clean. Loved the oversized couch to hang out on and then front porch for morning coffee. The small front fenced in area was perfect for our pups. We will definitely be back!

A-Frame of Mind was perfect in every way! It was clean, roomy, beautifully decorated, and cozy! Everything we needed was available and stores were nearby for any items we didn't have. I wish I lived closer, and I would make this an annual visit. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!

This was a very nice place to stay! The area was quiet and the room was very clean and comfortable. if we are ever in the area again we will definitely be booking here !

Booked the Grumpy Bear for my Bachelor party and it was a great experience for everyone. Kristi was friendly, clear and extremely helpful. Would definitely book again!

This was probably the best AirBnB I’ve stayed in to date. The cleanliness was near pristine, it had anything you could possibly need (the water station was a lifesaver!! And so thoughtful too). She provided multiple recommendations of activities to do nearby with my family, places to eat, and great instructions for being able to use the amenities within the community. Not to mention the home was beautiful. It was perfect for a getaway and I would absolutely consider booking again if I were ever in the area. We didn’t have a dog with us, but I love that they also had a large dog kennel on site for those that do bring a dog. Overall, a wonderful stay and experience!

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!

My 4 kids, husband and I have been coming to Shanty creek resorts for over 10 years. This is the first time we stayed somewhere other than the resort hotels. We enjoyed we were able to bring our dog on this trip, we had a kitchenette, and we did more in the area because we had to drive ourselves. This gave us a chance to explore and save more money. By staying in a place more reasonable than the hotel and we were able to cook ourselves and didn't have the added expense of a dog sitter. 4girls sharing one bathroom worked out better than I thought. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you The Ramsey family

We had a great time staying here. It was very clean, the property was beautiful and minutes away from the riding trails. The hosts, Dave and Carol made us feel very comfortable and at home. We will definitely be back!

Great experience! Working with Gary from beginning was seamless and easy! Thanks for letting us stay!!!

teresa’s home was in the perfect location for what we were wanting! easy to access the sandbar! she was super helpful with anything we needed! highly recommend!

You have an absolute Gem of a cabin! I booked this trip on a whim only knowing I wanted to see Torch lake but unknowing of the area. I can’t imagine finding a better rental in all the area. It was absolutely perfect for our family in every way! I’ll start with the location. There is everything you need within minutes. Private access to the water with the perfect little beach just a couple minute walk down the road, grocery store, gas station, liquor store within a 5 minute drive. Kayak rental minutes down the road. Beautifully maintained hiking trails surrounding the area (I was shocked how much nicer they are than state parks in our area). We enjoyed going into Aden to shop, play at the park and get ice cream. The cabin was so comfortable we felt very much at home. It had a generous amount of supplies (towels, hygiene and paper products ect….) This place has been a prime location for a people free vacation at an incredible value and I’ve been recommending it to everyone! Thank you!

Absolutely. Here’s a revised, cheerful version with no em dashes, and added emphasis on how well it suited your family group: ⸻ We had such a wonderful stay at Kay’s place! It was the perfect spot for a family getaway, and everyone from the kids to the grandparents found something to enjoy. The house is beautifully presented, clean, spacious, and fully stocked with everything you might need. The kitchen was large and well-equipped, which made cooking and sharing meals easy and enjoyable. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s just a short boat ride to the famous Torch Lake sandbar, and having our own dock made getting on the water super convenient. The backyard was peaceful and full of charm, with a great fire pit and regular visits from birds, frogs, and even a few deer. It truly felt like a relaxing Midwestern retreat. Inside, the pool table and shuffleboard provided hours of friendly competition. There was so much to do, both indoors and outdoors, which made it easy for ev

Charming house, with views of Torch Lake. The sand bar access/ swimming is just down the street about 200 yards. Beautiful wooded back yard, with a firepit, lawn furniture and hammock for realaxing. House is clean and comfy. everything you need for a stay. Like the add says, bring your toothbrush and beach towel, everything else is there for you.

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!

My family and I stayed here over Father’s Day weekend for a quick getaway, and we had a wonderful time. The place was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with all the essentials like silverware, cups, bowls, and more. Our teens especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and having their own rooms with TVs. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning in the future!
