Vacation rentals with lake access 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.

We couldn’t have asked for a better fall weekend up north. The colors were fabulous and the lake was gorgeous. Ben and Alessia’s cottage is wonderful and has a prime location on the lake. They had all amenities that we could ask for in the cottage. All the beds were very comfortable and the living room is cozy. The fire pit outside was great to have a bonfire too. Everything was so nice and clean and there was easy access to whatever we needed. We had no complaints about anything and would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great vacation up north!

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.

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

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.

Everything as pictured and described. We fit comfortably with plenty of room. Great location, close to everything. Host was easy to communicate with and friendly. Awesome gameroom for kids. Mother in law suite smelled a little musty, and also no closets or dressers in there for ur clothes. It would be nice if there was at least 1 dresser. But worked for what we needed.

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!

Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

I absolutely loved my stay at this charming studio! It had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing solo retreat. The setting is incredible - right on the water. The views were breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and the private sandy beach made it feel like a hidden oasis. The landscaping is gorgeous , and the beachfront seating, fire pit, and beach toys made it easy to unwind and enjoy. The patio was a perfect spot to relax with a view and peaceful atmosphere. The owners were so kind and welcoming. It felt tucked away, yet still close to everything. Truly the best of both worlds. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, and relaxing stay with stunning setting.

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!

The firehouse was a really cool environment and we walked almost everywhere to eat, to the beach, to shop. It was exactly what we wanted!

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!

Karen was an amazing host! Check in was extremely easy and the place was easy to find! Both Karen and Mark were so so friendly! My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed wandering through Karen's shop downstairs all while chatting with Karen the whole time. We felt like we've known her for years! She was so helpful while I was trying to find the perfect gift in her shop. The space we stayed in was perfect! It was cozy, comfortable and clean! The black out curtains were welcomed, as were the A/C's and fan! The furniture was comfortable and everything we needed for the weekend. Highly recommend to anyone, and we will definitely be back in the event we come back to that area. Zero complaints!

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.

Great place to stay

Melissa was a fantastic host and her place is beautiful! The location cannot be beat! The house is located directly across from the sandbar, there is a dock, a boat mooring, and a private frontage that was great for the kids. The house felt spacious and had everything we needed. The front deck is enormous and has a beautiful view of the water! Our only complaint is the trash situation. Melissa let us know the night before leaving that the trash man doesn’t take trash outside the bin. With a large group of people, it was easy to fill one garbage can and then some. We had a very difficult time finding a place to dump the extra trash and ended up paying a business to let us use their dumpster. Luckily we drove, but if we had flights to catch, I’m not sure what we would have done. For the price we paid for this Airbnb, it would have been nice not to worry about the trash. With that being said, the rest of the trip was wonderful, and we would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful peaceful place , private and easy to find , clean, neat . I loved it only suggestions is bring spray for the nats inside they were annoying it was better sitting outside no bug problems. Lol 😆 🤣

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Directly on the lake with an area for our kids to play, a dock to enjoy and an awesome porch and outdoor firepit. The house was very clean and had all cookware and basic items we needed. Great place for fun with the family or just go relax and unwind.

This is an amazing property with a remarkable view over the lake. It is a very tranquil location and it is easy to feel close to nature. The cabin is very well appointed and was perfect! The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a five star property and experience. Highly recommended!

The home is perfect for a family with children. Very clean, everything was great! I recommend to everyone! We will definitely come back here 🙂

An incredibly cozy and quaint home. beautiful view of the lake with everything you could want for outdoor fun. What a warm and welcoming stay. Five Star stay for sure!!

This was by far the most beautiful Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The house was AMAZING! The kitchen had everything you needed, it felt like I was at my home. The views were stunning, and the backyard was beyond beautiful. The kayaks were a great treat and we were able to enjoy the lake during the day, and then sit around the beautiful bon fire right next to the water at night. I hope I can be so lucky to book again next summer for our yearly visit to Torch Lake! Thank you Kathleen!!!

This cabin was a fairytale. The oxygen here is so fresh we don’t even know how to breathe without all the dirt and smog like in Las Vegas. You MUST shower in the outdoor shower. That is a bucket list item you didn’t know you needed. The entire property is so well stocked. There is a movie room with a giant projector for movie night with the kids. The finished garage is a perfect hang out. There are fishing poles, a heater, bluetooth speakers, extra fridge and washer and dryer. We opened the garage door and got all that oxygen while playing games and hanging out inside. The owner was so kind when we couldn’t figure out how to put the magnetic curtains back up on the garage door. Outdoor dining table with 6 or 8 chairs, fire pit with brand new chairs that even have a wine glass holders. More chairs at the sandy beach. Nice dock with lights at night. The kids loved the dock and raft that is floating out there. They practically lived on the raft all weekend. We will definitely be back!!
