Family-friendly vacation rentals in East Bay Township

I stayed at Melissa's place with a group of 4 other girls for my sister's bachelorette party. Not only was the space perfect sized for our group, but the girls and I could not get over how amazing the property was. We obsessed over the view from the kitchen window, the decor and gingham curtains in the living room, and the loft bedroom. Everything was so well done and thought through and we spent a majority of our time during the weekend hanging out at the house, having dinner on the front porch, and admiring the baby pigs!! And when we did venture into Sutton's Bay or Traverse City, the ride was smooth and had beautiful scenery of up north Michigan. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the linens were definitely adequate for all of us to sleep comfortably. I will definitely be booking here again!

Such a nice quiet spot! The area had multiple campers and spaces rented out but it felt like we were alone, that’s how well it was spaced out and set up. Kid friendly and very easy to relax. Will definitely be back!

Over the top amazing place to stay. Beautiful, comfortable and adorable! Seth and Kelsey were outstanding hosts and my husband and I were so impressed, these two should give lessons on how to be the perfect hosts!!! The food was amazing and they also slipped in a little birthday surprise for me. The property was so well maintained and the hot tub and fire pit were a welcome surprise and we enjoyed meeting other guests fixing s’mores!! I forgot to sign the guest book so will be back soon!!

My husband and I love the Leelanau peninsula and try to go up once in the spring before the craziness and once in the fall each year. Tiffany’s place did not disappoint. The property its self was magical, private, and everything as described. The location was 5 stars for what we enjoy - Leland, Suttons Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor and all in between! Would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

Really enjoyed our stay there, very pleasant and peaceful. Lots of room, accommodating. Host is top notch, responsive, friendly and very flexible. They accepted all of our requests. Thanks so much for everything!! 👍👍

This was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. The house is in a quiet area with easy parking and views and an easy walk to the bay. Check-in was simple, with Kate providing great instructions for the keypad to let ourselves in. The house was cozy with all amenities as described, and we felt right at home. All the Traverse City attractions were easy to get to, and Kate provided great recommendations. We had an awesome time and would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time in Traverse City and would totally stay again! The place is wonderful, homey, and comfortable. The roof deck is awesome, with a lovely view of the bay. Bob was always available if need be and they left a darling cherry themed gift basket upon our arrival. We’d definitely stay again. Great location with proximity to other lakeside towns for day trips and the crystal clear bay right across the street.

This was such a great stay! Super close to Sleeping Bear but accessible to Traverse City and Leland so it was just what we wanted! The place was very clean, quiet, and comfortable.

Wow! if I could turn my car around and go right back to Miriah's place, I would do it in a heartbeat! We took our 3 kids for a quick Fall Break trip to Elk Rapids and we all fell in love with Miriah's place and this amazing little town. The house is a perfect layout for families, with lots of common spaces to hang out together AND enough sitting nooks for people to find quiet places to read and relax too. The kitchen has got to be the most well stocked Airbnb kitchen I've ever been to. Next time, I'll plan to cook more because now I know Miriah's house literally has EVERYTHING you might need to cook and serve a big group. The house was spotlessly clean, the furniture was super comfy and we slept super well. We loved walking to the beach, playing at the playground, watching people catch fish by the dam, walking to the shops in town, and enjoying the incredible views. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Thanks for a great stay!

family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

I honestly believe this is just about the nicest Airbnb that I have stayed in over the last 10 years. The home has a wonderful layout and the backyard with the treehouse, deck and fire pit is makes for such a relaxing experience. The kitchen has absolutely everything you will need. The beds are super comfy. Lauren was quick to respond and very helpful. We will be back!

Cannot beat the location if you plan to walk to TC's many public parks, shops, and restaurants. Multiple comfortable beds. Everything that you needed was provided. Kitchen and bathroom were very clean.

Great cabin. Beautiful forested area near rivers and lakes a plenty.

Great location where we needed to be and Eric was very accommodating by letting us in a little early, wound recommend this place and wound stay there again.

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!

We had such an amazing time at Rhonda and Ken’s place that we decided to extend our stay within the first 24 hours of arriving. The space was beautiful and peaceful. Very spacious and clean kitchen and living area. We had so much fun sitting on the porch, our dog loved it too! We also enjoyed the small lake in the back and the yard space. Definitely a piece of heaven that we will remember forever. Rhonda and Ken were so welcoming and helpful too.

Ive rented alot of air bnbs over the years. So far? This has been the best experience ive had. The house was amazing. Super clean. Comfortable beds. Super well stocked with amenities that most places dont provide. Jennifer is super easy to communicate with and get ahold of. We will be back next year:)

a pleasure . . as always. Clean place, efficient check in, great location.

Absolutely loved the location of this rental! It was like a 3 minute walk over to the yellow chair. So, so easy! The condo is also fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is decorated super cute, was clean and very accommodating. We would stay here again for another ski trip.

Everything was great! We had an amazing time and this place met everyone’s needs!

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

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 such an amazing time here for our bachelor/bachelorette party! It had plenty of space for all of us and it was absolutely beautiful! Jenna was so responsive about everything especially when the air conditioning wasn’t working right and got it fixed immediately which we were so thankful for! We absolutely loved our trip!

Mary was the perfect host. Her place was clean, spacious, and so comfortable. Great directions once in town, and awesome recommendations in her table side book with instructions. All amenities and just beautiful decorated . COZY !! Highly recommend Fish Town . Hop Lot brewery and the Cove were outstanding for dinner. Friendly people !! Ugly pies was a little farm stand with the Best homemade pies and apples. Hopefully we can come up again next year. We will definitely stay at Marys place !!! Thank you again, Laura
