Vineyard Retreat
It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

Stunning exec spa retreat w/panoramic lake views!
My husband and I stayed here right after our wedding. Just a little getaway after all the fun and craziness. The Airbnb was beautiful and exactly like described in the description and photos! It had a sauna, a beautiful bathroom with a separate shower and tub, and a beer on tap, which was a fun little bonus! The balcony was our favorite part. We sat outside in the mornings with a coffee and enjoyed the views (and honestly the people watching lol). The lake is literally across the street and the 3 minute walk was awesome. Overall a wonderful experience! Highly recommend if you need a quick getaway or want to treat yourself to a more “high tech” luxury apartment 🥰

Hidden Gem:Artsy Speakeasy in Historic Bronzeville
Great place in a good location! Wonderful neighborhood. Was easy to find and near main road on a frontage road, but you would never know it by how quiet things are. Highly recommended.

Lambton Place
We had a lovely stay at Jim’s place. Beautifully appointed and within walking distance of the beach and great food. Highly Recommend!

Private sandy beachfront on the West Bay in TC
My husband and I had a great stay in this beautiful oasis! We enjoyed being out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Traverse City. Angela was great to communicate with and proactively addressed any needs we had. The unit was clean, the bed was comfortable and the view and beach were amazing!

Sunrise and Bayview with Kayaks & Bikes
Shauna and Matt’s place is absolutely beautiful! It’s right across from the lake with captivating views. All meaford locals are friendly and there is great food! The home was squeaky clean, had all fresh linen, and decorated beautifully! Definitely will be coming back!

Riverfront Lodging No cleaning fee !
Judi and Dave are simply amazing hosts. They are friendly, beautiful and i truly felt welcomed to their beautiful family oriented home. I will definitely go again, if im permitting. Thanks Judi and Dave for the warmth and hospitality. Esther!

Elegant Suite in Gold Coast
A perfect stay! Next time I am in Chicago, this will be my first choice. I "second" all the great things that everyone else has said. I was here for a multi-day conference at a very nearby hotel, and I am so glad I chose here over the host hotel. Wonderful staff, great communication! Top notch in every respect! Thank you!

LUXURY LAKE MICHIGAN HOME
The home was perfect for a multigenerational family vacation. The setting was absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was very functional. There was space and supplies for the toddler as well as the dogs. We enjoyed our stay.

Baraga Street City Suite (with private deck!)
Amazing spot! As a fellow host, I appreciate accuracy of the listing and how amazingly walkable the location is. We’ll be back! Thanks guys!

Little House on the Lake Retreat, 500M Wifi
Such a perfect place to unwind. Every little detail was taken care of, and the hosts were always there when needed. I’d love to come back again. Truly amazing!

Birch, The Collaboration House
Enjoyed our stay. Ease of access to Leland and Suttons Bay and Northport. Quiet and well appointed and beautiful designed home

Waterfront* Hot Tub* - Beachhouse Hideaway *Unique
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The house was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was great and made getting around easy and convenient. My host was friendly, responsive, and made sure I felt welcome from the moment I arrived. I really appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout the home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great experience!

Lake Superior Luxe • Soak in the View + Hot Tub
Beautiful, fresh, bright, clean home. Loved being right by the water- awesome views and sunsets!! Beach great for rock hunting. Hot tub perfect for the chilly days. Massage chair was a nice treat too. We bought groceries/cooked there- cookware very well-stocked. Thankful we found this place.

Hidn LakeFront-New Build-Private Beach-Fast Wi-Fi
It looks exactly like the photos but the lake is prettier in person. Daniel was very responsive during the entire process and made sure we’d have everything we needed. Made my birthday very special! Definitely plan on booking again in the future.

Lake Superior View With Sauna on 20 acres
Our stay at Agua Norte was absolutely amazing! We stayed in the Loft and loved the space. It’s exactly as described and the property is even more beautiful than the pictures. So close to the town and other great things to do but feels very private and secluded. It is a shared property but still feels private with each space. We loved it so much we didn’t even do all the adventuring we planned because we just loved being there! The Sauna was also wonderful, easy to book, and had a stunning view. We would absolutely come back!

Beachfront Condo Near Downtown & TART Trail.
Overall the stay was amazing!! Just watching the sunset and watching the sunrise. Was so beautiful, it felt just like home I even wnt zipping in Boyne and the drive up there was beautiful. I will be back Thank you my husband birthday was perfect

Lakeside Lookout, Relaxing Waterfront Condo
Mary was a very lovely host and was easy to contact and was quick to respond. You really couldn’t want anything more than this unit, you’re facing the lake, It’s quiet and has incredible sunrises. It’s really everything you need - especially for a couple. The kitchen was well equipped. Heat and AC, no problems. Everything was exceptionally clean!! I am really crazy about cleanliness and I can tell you I felt right at home here, I didn’t need to clean with my Clorox wipes to feel comfortable. You wouldn’t go wrong renting this unit. It was easy to get around from here we went to the tunnel of the trees, Mackinaw, Petoskey and Charlevoix and Harbor Springs. Lots of places to eat or you could stay at home and make dinner and use their grill. The grounds were very nice and very well kept! So what is my downside to this trip? Well the weather was too chilly, but I guess there’s no controlling that next time. I will know that this early in the season it’s a gamble on whether it will be wa

Stunning Waterfront, Updated TC Condo with Pool!
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!

Cypress Chill - Walk to beach, dinner, shopping.
We had a wonderful weekend stay. The condo is in a great location. Saturday morning we took an easy walk along the lakeshore to the downtown farmers market. We were able to easily walk from front street business district to the condo as well. We will definitely come back to this condo on our next visit to TC!

Beachfront Oasis | Pool+Hot Tub
This was our first time to Traverse City and we lucked up finding this condo on the beach/water! It was decorated so cute with modern/clean touches. Very easy to enter/leave with press-lock. The bed is SO comfortable. We were very appreciative of the 'Welcome' book with recommendations of things to do/places to see around Traverse. Would definitely book here again!

Lovely Open Concept Friday Harbor Resort Condo
If you’ve never been to Friday Harbour it’s an amazing weekend escape with beaches, pools, bars and restaurants and light shopping. We spent our 10th anniversary at Marks Condo in the Harbour and loved every minute of it. Mark’s condo in Friday Harbour really is a gem. It’s on the top floor of a quiet building just steps away from the main boardwalk, hiking trails, and everything else Friday Harbour has to offer. The building complex offers communal BBQs and fire pits that are available and easy to use. The condo itself is very clean, bright, with its own balcony and everything you could possibly need. Marks check-in instructions are very detailed and thorough and is great at communication should anything come up. It was an incredible weekend and we will 100% come back.

"THE NEST" Condo on Lake Michigan Lighthouse View
In our experience, it's always rare to find a place that lives up to the hype of the description, however in this case, The Nest exceeded the already great expectations as described. Sure, the photos do the best they can to capture the view that is afforded to guests, but walking into the living room and seeing the view is breathtaking. You'll quickly find yourself trying to decide between taking the time to explore the town of Frankfort (which is great), or spending all your time on the balcony taking in the views. It truly was a welcoming accommodation, and we felt at home immediately. Everything you need is available, and we were very surprised by how large the bedroom was. it was our first time to Northern Michigan, and we cannot wait to return. Charlie and Suzy's location will be the first place we check for availability when we do!

Stoney Brook Nook on the shore of Lake Superior
Melanie’s place was incredible! The unit was meticulously designed and thoughtfully curated. Clean and organized as well. The waterfront access/views did not disappoint and getting in and out was easy! We hope to visit again!
