Vacation rentals with lake access in Onekama Township

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful first getaway at Sarah’s place. The property was peaceful, private, and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We had a great time visiting Na-Tah-Ka, exploring Ludington, the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and more — but some of our favorite moments were just spent enjoying the quiet beauty of the property itself. We’ll definitely be back to soak in the tranquility and natural surroundings again. Sarah was a kind and responsive host, and her place is absolutely worth the stay. 🌲

Great place to stay! Nick communicated well!

We had a great time at Kelly’s Lake Michigan home. Beautiful view from the back deck great for watching sunsets. We brought our pup and she had a blast lounging by the fire place. Kelly even provided dog waste bags and food and water bowls. Our 2 year old nephew was also excited to find children’s books and toys to play with. One of the best equipped Airbnb kitchens I have experienced in a while allowed us to good up family dinners without having to drive into town to eat. We will definitely stay again next time we are in Silver Lake!

Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

Jeremy's house was very cozy and clean in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the harbor. Our kids thought the rotary phone and antique furnishings were so cool! It was an easy walk to the beach for sunset and near other sight seeing/hiking spots off lake michigan. Jeremy was also quick to respond to any questions we had.

Thanks, the house was perfect for our needs and the host was super helpful. Absolutely no complaints and would stay again if in the area.

My husband and I, along with our 3 Siberian huskies stayed for 2 nights. We wished it was for longer! Jenna granted us an extra hr for check out which we really appreciated! Also, this house is incredibly clean. We were both impressed. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Something to note: there’s about 3-5 ft of water before you get into “muck” and the lake is full of seaweed. We brought our paddle board and floated around. The water is very clear and it was actually quite beautiful to look at the fish and even the seaweed looked beautiful. There are some deeper parts that you could definitely avoid touching any weeds. But just something to note if you plan on swimming. Also, we didn’t explore the entire lake so not sure what the far half is like. SUNRISES ARE GORGEOUS HERE! I would book this place just to watch the sunrise. And lots of wildlife. I would think kids would really enjoy it! Turtles, geese, tons of fish, loons. Again, overall highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay. This house was well equipped in the kitchen, baths and bedrooms with quality, newer, matching pans/utensils, towels and bedding. Plenty of paper products as well. Lots of space for 7 adults, including a very comfortable living room (2nd on lower level) and beautiful deck with plenty of seating and even a Solo wood stove!

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.

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.

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!

We had a great time, definitely a cozy stay, enjoyed the paddleboat, our kids lived being on the lake as well. we recommend this guest suite and look forward to staying again!

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!

Jeffery had a wonderful air bnb right in the heart of traverse city! It was so nice to be able to walk to all the activities and restaurants in the area. In addition- the place has so much charm and the bed was extremely comfortable!

We had a great stay. The location and view of the lake was perfect and cozy. The cabin was beautiful and clean. I also appreciated the updated bathroom.

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!

Perfect place for visiting the Traverse City area. I was there for the Interlochen Arts Academy graduation, and what a beautiful drive. Much better than staying in town. Very peaceful. Seriously considering coming back to vacation. Heidi is an excellent communicator and ultra-responsive.

We originally booked a different cottage in Ludington….only to find out we accidentally booked it for the wrong date. We cancelled that reservation and booked this location instead. Host responded immediately- huge relief to us since we were already on our way to the area. Directions to the house were spot on, which made it easy to find. Even though this was a last minute reservation, the house was ready for us. Yes, the furniture is dated but that was fine with us. There is so much to do in the area that we were gone most of the time. However, we did spend some time at the house to do some fishing out on the lake- they have a boat and canoe onsite that we were able to take out. Our last night there, we sat out by the fire pit and stargazed while we fished. It was perfect! Communication with host couldn’t have been any better. They checked in with us to make sure all was going well and responded right away when I accidentally locked ourselves out of the house. Would stay again.

Every time we stay here, it feels like we’re the very first guests. Our first visit to the cottage was two years ago, and we knew right away we’d be back! You can spend your days kayaking, fishing, playing in the sand, and watching eagles swoop down to catch fish from the lake. Take a trip to the dunes and enjoy the thrill of a Mac Wood Dune Ride with stunning views of Lake Michigan. Or simply relax—take a nap in the comfy beds and spend your evenings around the fire, watching the sun set over the lake. The hosts feel like friends, the house is perfectly maintained and spotless, and the water is crystal clear and refreshingly cool. The hardest part is leaving this little gem! Don’t miss Cherry Point for fresh-baked goods every day and the best Cherry Butter ever! We also love stopping by Whippy Dip for a sweet ice cream treat (they even have lactose-free options!).

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.

Our last minute family weekend getaway was so much more than we imagined! Booked last minute for the weekend and WOW! As soon as we pulled in we could tell it was the perfect, private and beautiful place we were looking for! Upon entering the home, there was immediately a peaceful, positive, and relaxing feeling. I brought my own smudging sage yet there was already a cleansing "station " atop the rustic and gorgeous wood burning heater in the midst of this beautiful cabin. The board rope swing out front was enjoyed by every family member! The property is beautiful! We will definitely be back and will stay longer next time! I will most definitely take a bath in the clawfoot tub! The lake is a wonderful short stroll through the woods to a perfect spot for campfires, fishing, and kayaking. Our kids, 13, 8, and 5 enjoyed every bit of the weekend as well! We searched for the fairy house door on the old Beech tree with no luck this time. We're going to find it. 🥰

We had a great holiday weekend at the cabin for the Bayshore Marathon. It is very clean and has everything we needed and more. It had a seccluded woodsy feel in spite of being very near the main parts of town and walkable. Close to the beach, the start trail but private with a wooded back yard and creek running through the property. 3 mile is noisy and busy as is 31 but it didn’t bother us. We brought ear plugs just in case.
