A-Frame | Lakes, Trails & Sleeping Bear Dunes
What a great stay! I love an A frame and this house was perfect. It was well stocked - even had plenty of wood for the fire pit. The s'mores welcome kit was perfect. I will say that if you have a hard time with stairs then this house probably isn't for you because the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs but Carrie has several other homes to choose from. It really is peaceful. There are neighbors but they are quiet and we only saw one set of neighbors the three days we were there. The dirt roads to the house weren't bad either. I will stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Actually am seriously considering taking my 3 college age daughters for a girls' weekend.

Clementine Cottage
The cottage was adorable. The living area was spacious and comfy. The kitchen was a little small, but we managed wonderfully. It’s in such a cute neighborhood as well and not too far from the beach. Hot tub was amazing!

Cozy Good Harbor Cottage with hot tub & fireplace
Anna was a great host! Very responsive and reached out to see if we needed anything. Her cottage is super clean, cozy, and the tranquility of the location can’t be beat. We shall return!

Nostalgic Lakehouse with Ferry Pontoon & Hot Tub
This cabin felt super cozy right off the bat. The interior was warm and welcoming. It felt super comfortable/nostalgic. We brought our pups along on this trip and went on the boat to fish all day. It was wonderful & relaxing, with lots of great fish! It was exactly what we were looking for. The cabin was really clean! I had brought our own throw blankets to cover the furniture to make our pups feel more at home. But didn’t need to, they had a bunch of their own to share as well. There wasn’t any pups next door if that is something you’re concerned about. Everyone was super friendly on the lake which was pretty great. Definitely will be coming back again.

Cozy Lakefront Tiny Home w/ Hot Tub
We LOVED IT!! Definitely coming back when the weather is nicer.

LAKEFRONT COTTAGE! Hot Tub, Spacious Backyard
Description was accurate. The place is nice, great for yard games, hot tub has a private fence. Kitchen is well stocked as well as the bathrooms, extra blankets, linens, fans they have thought of everything. We will rent again for sure. The location is perfect and close to everything.

Kabin Tapoke | Wild Kabin | Hot tub-Sauna-Sunsets
Our group had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Cassidy was very communicative and the amenities were top notch - we enjoyed the lakefront view, kayak, sauna and hot tub. Fresh towels and laundry within the cottage made everything super convenient. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Stayed in Topinbee to attend Mackinac Island Lilac Festival. This was an amazing spot to relax from the busy festival activites! Having a quiet evening in the hot tub with the beautiful view of Lake Mullet was quickly a favorite activity! Cannot recommend this rental enough for an extremely relaxed and pleasant lakeside space. Hosts were very responsive, gave great recommendations, and were incredibly helpful when we worried we misplaced one of our personal items. Hopefully we'll be able to make the trip again next year for the next fest!

Waterfront 3 BR Cottage 4 Seasons Gravenhurst A/C
We had a great stay at Jonathan’s place! Everything was just as described, Jonathan was quick to respond all of our questions. The kitchen amenities were top notch, it had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. We also really enjoyed the new bbq grill. The location was easy to find. The house has an amazing view of the lake, which is great for swimming and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan’s place!

The Water’s Edge
We had a lovely stay and would recommend this home again. It is as described, and exactly as the photos show. It has basic decor and finishings but was well kept. The view of the lake and fire pit were really nice for a summer night. Thank you for hosting us!

Ke's Rustic Retreat in Kawartha Lakes
The place itself was very nice and clean and the location was gorgeous, we had an absolutely amazing time.

The Knotty Pine - Relaxing Lakefront Cottage
we had a wonderful stay - and so appreciate the dog friendly approach so we could enjoy a week on the water with our pups!

Stylish 1 bedroom cottage on the Mississippi River
cozy cabin close to La Crosse and the Shrine of the Lady of Guadalupe. Cute fire pit to use. enjoyed our stay!

Custom Built Craftsman Cottage on Lake Huron
Was such a wonderful stay! So peaceful, just a world to ourselves. The space was clean, homey, and warm. Everything as described. Would absolutely return in the future and if you are debating on whether or not to stay here, without out a doubt you should too!

Blue Haven, private cottage on Lake Michigan
The grounds were beautiful, the coastal decor was perfect and the view was spectacular! Loved how drawers and light switches were labeled so no guessing games as to where stuff was. A fenced area for the dogs would’ve been icing on the cake but it didn’t detract from an amazing vacation in a gorgeous location! Would give 10 stars if that were an option.

Resort-Style Luxury Waterfront Cottage
Kevin was a great host and very responsive! We got a surprise early check-in without requesting one! This place is breathtakingly beautiful and we will definitely be back!

Highlands Lakefront | Dock | Screened Room | Sauna
Not only was the cottage & property absolutely breathtaking, Kimberly was great at responding to any questions I had leading up to our trip and gave us a great tip on navigating the drive up. She also provided a variety of basic condiments, spices, all the bath towels, and kitchen utensils you would need so we were really able to feel comfortable and make this place feel like home away from home for the weekend. They also provided clear, fool-proof instructions on starting up the sauna and indoor fireplace. Would 100% recommend to others & book again for myself! Thank you Kimberly!

Waterfront Cottage by Bruce Trail
We enjoyed our stay in Wiarton at Ildiko's cottage on the lake. He facilitated a smooth stay for us with prompt communication, clear instructions, detailed guidelines. The cottage is tucked away on a quiet street with friendly neighbors making you feel right at home. The lake access is spectacular especially with the availability of kayaks and paddle boats at the cottage, giving you an adventure right at home as well as a leg or upper body workout. The cottage is located in an excellent area, not too far from Collingwood to go jet skiing in the warmer months, not too far from Tobermory to go hiking, sightseeing, scuba-diving and not too far from the nearest town to restock on basic amenities. Overall we found our cottage stay to be relaxing and a good recharge for us, we would recommend family and friends to stay here given the opportunity.

It was a very nice and quiet place to relax after a day of sight seeing. I wanted a place near the water and the deck was the perfect place to do that. It was really nice to have a fully outfitted kitchen. We hope to visit again soon.

Higgins Lakefront Apres Beach Cottage
Anita was an amazing host! She responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s more beautiful in person. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, toaster, cookware, they thought of everything. Even had extra sunscreen the bathroom. The beach area was also very clean and well stocked, we enjoyed going out on the kayaks. It was the perfect setting to exhale and escape the world for a week on our own private beach. We will definitely be booking with Anita again!

Lily's Pad at Hicks Lake -Always On Lake Time
12/10 ⭐️ Words cannot describe how perfect our stay was, and it all starts with the hosts… David was very kind and communicative and the home was spotless. Everything has been very well thought out with the guests’ experience prioritized. The decor is cozy and inviting with an up north/lake house theme. The breathtaking sunsets and lake views will leave you wishing you had booked a longer stay. Thank you for sharing such a truly amazing place! We are already arranging our next visit!

Sunset Lake Views - Romantic Getaway!
We had a lovely stay! The place was extremely clean and comfortable. The private beach access was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again!

Rowan Cottage Co. on Oak Lake
We had such a wonderful time staying at Rowan Cottage! It was my husband and I with our little Boston Terrier and everything was perfect! The place was spotless when we got there and the instructions to check in were very easy to navigate. The place felt brand new. It was just the right amount of space for us. It is a fairly private area and the waters were very peaceful, not a lot of traffic on the water at all! The views from the cottage were amazing - perfect for the morning coffee! Appliances were great, and the washroom was so clean. There were awesome board games and vinyl records to jam to. As well as a Bluetooth speaker to connect. We were never bored! For anyone looking to visit, there are a fair bit of mosquitos so remember bug spray! Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend!

Lake House on Lake Superior: Modern Nordic Retreat
We stayed here for a ski race for my daughter at Searchmont and the accommodations and host Jessica were excellent. Great, clean, modern home on Lake Superior. Quiet and relaxing. Would highly recommend.
