Family-friendly vacation rentals in Onekama 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!

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!!

This beautiful A-frame cabin was so cozy and our family loved the relaxing getaway. Thank you for hosting us!

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 loved our stay! The listing was exceptionally clean and amenities were as described. We enjoyed the location and having a coffee shop and (delicious) burger joint in walkable distance was a great bonus! The view of the beach and water right off the private balcony was wonderful and having a heated pool/hot tub combo right on property made this an ideal booking for our family. We’d come back and would recommend to others!

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.

It is a great location. The hot tub was wonderful. Kitchen has all that is needed for food prep. Comfortable living spaces. The house is very clean. We enjoyed being close to Manistee & Ludington. Dennis was very quick responding by phone & very helpful.

The place is lovely and worked well for my family. The cost of a two night stay doubled w tax, cleaning fees, etc. We almost cancelled due to the final cost for two nights. Is it possible to offer short stays the option of cleaning themselves to eliminate that cost?

family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

My wife, toddler, and I had a great summer weekend in Pentwater! The cottage was perfect for our small family. We were just minutes away from the beach and downtown. The cottage was well furnished and had just what we need. If your stay is in the summer, please be sure to bring a fan or two and other things to stay cool in the evening. Rob communicated great tips on cooling at night, but with no AC, it can still get quite stuffy. Rob also provided the cottage with multiple blowing fans. A great trip once again! Rob is a great host and will take care of what you need.

North of Ordinary and our host, Jo, were fabulous! My daughter and I stayed three nights for the Bayshore Marathon. The location was perfect and Jo could not have been more kind, friendly, and helpful. Not only did she make wonderful recommendations for restaurants and wineries, but also ran to the store and got me a toothbrush when I had forgotten mine. Wow! That is above and beyond. It was such a peaceful place to stay. The plush green landscape you saw out the many windows, was so peaceful. We also enjoyed the private patio with party lights. But one of the most amazing things, especially after completing a marathon, was the cozy and comfortable bed. The mattress, pillows, and linens were amazing! We had such a comfortable and peaceful stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us Jo. We will definitely be back! :)

Clean, plenty of parking, house felt very homey and spacious. Host Pamela was friendly and responsive. We enjoyed riding our UTVs from the house. It’s a beautiful area to ride. And we liked being able to take our young lab along. Room to exercise outside and the tiled kitchen was perfect to set up his kennel and bed. Kitchen is well stocked and we slept well in the beds. Definitely would stay again!

We appreciated the local chips and beer and special dog cookie. This is a great spot and we are thankful it is dog friendly.

This was a great place to stay! We loved the location and the fenced in yard made bringing our dogs with us even better. My husband and I had a great time spending New Years playing pool in the basement. The location was so convenient to town but so quiet and private- we loved watching all of the deer outside. Just a small hiccup with check-in, as the key was not where the host had indicated, but it ended up working out after a while.

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

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

We loved the location of this condo and proximity to the beach. The condo was clean and worked perfectly for our family vacation.

As always the place is beautiful , clean and well managed. Ben is communicative and friendly as well as the staff that help out. If you’re looking for a place close to the beach with easy access to food, parks and the outdoors this is the place.

Perfect fit for us. Beach & Park across the street. Walked to town for dinner @ Hamlin Restaurant, only place to eat on Sunday evening, exceptional food. Early in May 2025 cool winds but a sunny 2 days. Got a super picture of the sunset across the street from our room. Chairs outside our room, benches & picnic tables to enjoy the outdoors, friendly people walking & look @ the stars on a clear night.

We had a great stay at the cabin! It was private and the dogs had an absolute blast. The cabin had a lot of the supplies we needed (pots and pans, a camp stove, etc) which was very nice! Definitely looking forward to another stay in the future.

We had a great stay! Lori was very responsive and flexible with checking in/out. She was quick to respond and very helpful. The house was spotless and bathrooms were nice. The location was perfect for skiing on/off the hills! Beautiful view of the area from the house. We look forward to staying at this place again!

Schmidt’s place was even more beautiful in person! The pictures doesn’t do it any justice. Everything was well kept and there’s a lot of space to work with. My crew and I pretty much already knew what we wanted to do before getting there, but having a binder full of activities and restaurants was a bonus! It wasn’t warm enough to get in the pool, but the hot tub was amazing. Don’t get me started on the view by the pool….. I could sit out there all day! I will most definitely book again!

Tammy is a truly special person who made sure our visit was memorable. Unit was clean and beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels, blankets and parking at the door. We only cooked breakfast, but kitchen seems to be well appointed with pots and pans. Lots of plates, wine glasses and coffee mugs. Do bring your own coffee. I highly recommend!
