Holiday House Rentals with a Kayak

OPEN ALL YEAR! Kayaks! PONTOON BOAT! Gameroom!
family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

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

Lone Pine Cottage on Little Glen Lake
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.

Deckside Dreams on Crystal Lake
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The highlight was definitely the stunning lake view right at the back of the property — it felt like having a private slice of nature all to myself. The space itself was clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained. Everything was exactly as described (if not better), and the host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout the stay. Whether you’re looking to relax, read by the water, or simply enjoy a scenic getaway, this place is perfect. I left feeling completely recharged and already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature and tranquility!

Peaceful Green Lake Getaway Hot Tub Kayaks/SUP Fun
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!

Sandy beach, firepit and dock on Spider Lake
Great stay. There’s a little hill getting into the driveway that made me a little nervous, but it was fine. The inside of the home is absolutely perfect. And by the water is even better than the pictures. I had a few questions and they always responded so quickly and were very helpful.

Long Lake/Hot tub/Dock /Beach/Kayak/Pets/All Sport
The area is peaceful and beautiful. The home had plenty of amenities, from kayaks, a hot tub, basketball hoop, games, parking, etc. It is a perfect place for a family get together. We are outdoor people who took full advantage of the swimming beaches nearby, hiking and biking. Sheri was a great host. Highly recommend!

Sweet Lake Retreat | Adult Only | 20 mins from TC
This place is one of a kind and truly the pinnacle experience when it comes to travel
Cottages with a kayak

Cedar Creek Cottage lakefront near Boyne City
Such a beautiful place to stay. My Grandpa owned this property in the 70's and my family was happy to see how well maintained the cottage is and the nature that surrounds it. It was such a blessing for us to come back and visit. Thank you for taking such good care of it.

Arborvitae Point Cottage
We truly enjoyed our stay. The property was stunning! We wished for better weather to enjoy the kayaks and paddle boats, but that was nothing that could’ve been controlled. We did enjoy a fire in the pit. The lake view was beautiful. Jake was very pleasant and made sure we were taken care of. Thank you!

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!

**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

Private Lake Home-Country Living w/Modern Comforts
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!

Teacup Inn TC! Rate of $175/day, Never Increases!
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 😂

LakeFront, Kayaks, Aug 24-29 Available, Fall Dates
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

Cabin rentals with a kayak

Riverside Cabin Near Torch Lake – Kayaks Included!
We had a great time at the cabin, the hosts and cabin are top notch and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering.

Tuckaway Log Cabin on Bar Lake: Walk to Big Lake
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.

TC Lake House w/Hot Tub, Pontoon, & Game Room!
Awesome house for a long weekend with a big group! It is about a 25-30 minute drive into Traverse City but we appreciated the peacefulness of the smaller lake and beautiful views. Gets pretty buggy at night but that is to be expected on the water in the summer. Some of the most comfortable beds our group had slept in at an Airbnb! Only thing to note that the pictures don’t really show is that the trundle bed is in a loft so will be able to hear from the living room. Pontoon boat was an awesome value add. We’d definitely stay here again.

Happy Trails Haus, Cozy Lakeview Cabin
The cabin was perfect. So many useful amenities. Perfect for our family snowmobiling trip.

The Lily Pad
This is our second time here, first in winter, now in summer. Loved it both times. Lots of stuff to do for all ages: fishing, swimming, kayaks and canoe available, gas fire pit, fire ring on the beach and multiple outdoor sitting areas. Saw beaver, bluegills, loons and hummingbirds. Plenty of towels and blankets and multiple fridges. Kitchen nicely stocked with supplies.

Big Lake Cabin W Hot Tub/ Kayaks/PngPong/Cable/HBO
It was a great cabin with full of things provide to do to spend the days away from home. Enough to do for days we didnt have plans to enjoy some cards around the open fire or enjoy some time in the hot tub, or have a friendly game of corn hole

"UP North on the Lake", TC/Spider Lake
Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

2BR Crystal Lk Cabin walk 2 beach no road to cross
Great location, Cabin was very clean and well organized. Brian was the perfect host, communication was excellent, informative and super helpful. I would definitely book here again.
