Cottage vacation rentals in St. Ignace

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

Very clean and cozy place with great amenities and resources! Hosts were very proactive and provided almost anything you’d need for activities during your stay.

Anna was a great host! Very responsive and reached out to see if we needed anything. Her cottage is super clean, cozy, and the tranquility of the location can’t be beat. We shall return!

Loved the seclusion, the hot tub and the location was the perfect get away!

This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

My mother, sister, and I stayed at the cottage for a mother-daughter weekend. It was perfect for us and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The listing was accurate and everything was as described, or even better. The cottage is decorated with charming furniture, art, and antiques. Everything was easy to find, and the kitchen was especially well-appointed. There were instructions for everything, including the fireplace, hot tub, and sauna (all of which we enjoyed). Perhaps best of all, at least for our quiet and cozy weekend, there isn't a single TV in the house! Plenty of places to sit down and read or just relax and enjoy each other's company. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and downtown Petoskey was a 10 minute drive away. Very convenient. Clara was a communicative and kind host, and I enjoyed interacting with her. We definitely want to return in the summer months to enjoy the gardens and spend more time outside. Thank you for helping to make our weekend special!

This was a beautiful home located on a tranquil lake with serene views and so much local wildlife! My family spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor patio, bonfire pit and watching swans, ducks and birds from the dock. The home itself has comfortable lounging space for a bigger family and includes a well stocked kitchen. The space is very clean. The local area has bike paths which are very scenic as well. Highly recommend!

We (and our dogs) had an amazing time at Nathan's beautiful home. The setting is ideal—the house is right on the water, the amenities are fantastic, and the neighborhood is beautiful and serene. The house has everything you would want. There is a sweet deck and outdoor area along with a dock and your own private beach—the next house in either direction is almost a half-a-mile away. The perimeter around the house is essentially fully-fenced, which allowed us to swim, paddle board, and hang outside with the pups without worries. Nathan is a great host: He checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. He provided clear instructions about the house and its features, as well as great local recommendations. We really can't say enough great things about our stay. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing trip we've had and look forward to coming back soon!

My family and I had a great stay at Robert's home. It was exactly what we were looking for in a long weekend in the Leelanau/Suttons Bay wine country with hiking trails, scenic roadways, and outdoor activities that we had in store. Robert was very accommodating and the home was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet rural space to recharge. We would love to stay here again if we make it back up that way. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful, secluded area. We saw deer, turkeys, a porcupine, and other birds. We also watched the sunrise several times. Arlen was gone but his parents, who live next door, were very responsive, including selling us fresh bread and helping us look at our car when we had an issue. While you're on the island, check out the fort and the artifact museum. Bring bug spray for the mosquitoes. Depending on your water preference, you might want to buy bottled water to drink. Also, the beach is more rocky than sandy. Overall though, we definitely enjoyed our stay.

Such a great place, we really enjoyed it and it was a great spot to bring our little kids and dog! We hope to return next year!

Great place for a family of 4. lots to do around or just sit by or in the lake. Wrap around porch and open living space with lots of windows overlooking the lake through a thin line of trees.

This home has everything you need. Kitchen is very well stocked, plenty of towels, and wood for a fire. The crows nest has great views!

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!

As bird hunters we really appreciate a dog friendly rental. Nicole had dog toys and even bowls. The place was super comfy inside and fit our needs perfectly. Very clean.

Such a beautiful and peaceful place for a relaxing holiday! We had a great time with our friends and truly enjoyed every moment. If we get the chance, we’d love to visit again. A big thanks to our hosts, Kate and Rob, for being so generous and providing clear instructions and helpful recommendations.

Quiet and peaceful. Very spacious. Plenty of living area inside and out. Access to garage was a big plus for bike storage. Neighbor who owned lakefront property was awesome. He initiated contact with us and offered use and access to lakefront. we really enjoyed our stay. Great location for Mackinaw tourist stuff.

Beautiful location. Everything we hoped it to be. We spent a lot of time down at the beach firepit.

The Apple House was a wonderful cozy stay in a beautiful secluded wooded setting. My 13 year old daughter, mobility challenged mother, and I came for a special girls weekend and we are so happy we chose Kathleen's house. It was so cozy and perfectly equipped and accommodating. Kathleen had everything we could need to make the stay comfortable. The beds were all so cozy, it was nice and quiet and we slept in each morning and then made coffee and breakfast before going on our adventures for the day. It is close to Petoskey and Mackinac City for day trips. In the evenings we came back and popped popcorn, watched movies, and played games. Wonderful memories were made, thank you Kathleen!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, tidy and cozy. The back deck was great and we enjoyed sitting out there watching the water. We like to cook so all of the lovely appliances were a bonus. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting the area.

We really enjoyed staying at Dave and Marcia’s cottage. It was super clean, had all the amenities we needed and was really comfortable. Located on the water with an amazing view….we couldn’t have been happier!! The hosts were very friendly and provided us with a 5 star Airbnb experience. We would love to stay there again and highly recommend to others.

The cabin was the perfect launch pad for excursions to Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls! Even without our planned trips, we could have just as easily enjoyed a beautiful stay on the lake. Amenities provided created opportunity for swimming, camp fires, and relaxation. We also loved the peace and quiet (after the kids finally fell asleep of course). We highly recommend staying here to enjoy the beauty of this cabin, and the rest of the UP!

Beautiful private location. Perfect spot for us to also explore Mackinac Island and venture into the UP. Gorgeous kitchen. Plenty of rooms/beds for our family. You just can’t beat walking out to a private beach and maybe making some smores. Would absolutely stay again. My parents who were celebrating their anniversary couldn’t say enough nice things.

This cottage is a little piece of Midwest paradise and we will definitely be back! It was the perfect spot for our week-long family vacation with 6 adults and 3 kids. The house is so spacious yet cozy at the same time. The shoreline and lake was great for kids’ swimming - no seaweed and decently shallow. Great location for day trips to Mackinac Island, Petoskey, Charlevoix, etc. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our annual family vacation!
