Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Bear Lake

We had a fantastic stay! The location couldn’t have been better – just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, and the beach. It made exploring the area, super convenient and enjoyable. The place was clean, comfortable and exactly as described.

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!

We loved our stay at the Hoxie Homestead. The location was central to all of northern Michigan’s cute towns and beaches. The property was clean and well laid-out. Loved the decor, and the master bed was super comfy and soft. The hot tub and sauna were perfect. We would certainly stay again.

Our stay in Interlochen at John’s place was great! The hosts went above and beyond our expectations and provided board/card games, pre-chopped wood for the fire pit, and a variety of snacks. The kitchen was fully stocked and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious.

Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

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

Private cabin in the woods, conveniently located for exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City.

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!

Kat and Skip’s condo was exactly what was expected and what we needed! Plus, hosts were very responsive and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at Richard's condominium! The condo is apart of a larger resort, Shanty Creek, and with the passes that were left for us to use, we were never bored! We explored the Lakeview Hotel and pool amenities there, the private beach, and the Shuss Mountain resort as well. This was especially nice for the 12 year old we had with us. There was a couple staying next to us (not under Richard's purview), who had loud dogs who would not stop barking but after messaging Richard, we heard them very rarely and then not at all, so we really appreciated the timely response we had from him and the action he took by informing the HOA for that condo. The little touches here and there were also really appreciated, like the fan/lightbulb fan charm cords so we knew which cord was for the light and which was for the fan. We plan on coming back for sure! Highly recommended place for people of all ages to enjoy.

Manistee is home away from home! Lovely place with a great location for beach access & amazing sunsets! Close to town & great little area to take the pups for walks. Bring spices & cooking oils. They only have limited spices as listed. Also, I maybe would bring a couple pans & pots if you plan on cooking more than a basic, simple meal. I love to cook so I usually bring my own knives & pans. Really great stay & I would highly recommend!

This was an amazing get away! i definitely recommend david and nicole's airbnb if you're looking in this area! they were very precise with location, recommendations, check in/out directions! we loved our stay!

This was a very nice place to stay! The area was quiet and the room was very clean and comfortable. if we are ever in the area again we will definitely be booking here !

The place was exactly what we were needing. Nothing over the top expensive with enough soace to accommodate our family of 4 plus our dog. It was located conveniently at shanty creek making everything we were visiting just a short distance away. Very cost freindly for the area and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for being such a great host!

Autumns place was great! We stayed as a group of 4 adults and each had our own space. There are lots of stairs but we enjoyed the separate living spaces for each of us. Everything was clean, beds were all comfortable and great pillows. Two balconies made sunrise and sunset both gorgeous with the fall trees. We will be back!

We love the family friendly atmosphere and the wooded environment. Perfect for our family.

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. 🌲

If you're looking for a peaceful escape with all the comforts of home, this cute little cottage is absolute perfection. Tucked away in a quiet rural setting, it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome and at ease. Everything about it is homey—from the cute nautical theme to the thoughtfully stocked kitchen. The large deck is perfect for a cup of coffee with birds serenading, views of wildlife, and fresh air. The fire pit is perfect for roasting marshmallows, stargazing ( northern lights), or just relaxing with a glass of wine and good conversation Highly recommended for a restful, charming getaway.

Christine and Alan were great people. They answered all of our questions and gave us some good local tips to beachs etc. Their place is very peaceful and quiet. The space was very well equipped. I hope to be back there again.

great place to stay, very well appointed kitchen, family enjoyed it. we will be back.

The property is private and in a peaceful location. It was the right property for the trip visiting Crystal Mountain and relaxing in the evenings around a campfire. I highly recommend this property for a small family or group.

Every time I approach a rental I've reserved, I feel a bit anxious and skeptical: will it match the description? will I have to convince myself "it's fine"? will the pictures on the listing be several years old or will they be edited so much that reality looks quite different? You know the feelings. Jessica's place was EXACTLY what I expected based on pictures, description and reviews. Clean and open and thoughtfully appointed. Extra things like a well stocked kitchen including several spices (we didn't do any cooking but I know how nice it is not to have to pack or buy every little thing!) and hangers in the closets, extra blankets in the living room, games in the cupboard, plenty of towels. It was such a comfortable home that felt intentional for hosting. Highly recommend. Didn't disappoint in the least.

We had a wonderful time at Dan's place. We really appreciate his welcoming dogs to venture along. Our dog, Boone, loved pounding by the fire pit, sniffing through the woods, and running on Arcadia Beach. Dan's specific driving directions brought us right to the door. The house was exactly as described, clean as can be, and the bed was very comfortable. Definitely worth every penny!

A peaceful and relaxing cabin setting right on the water. A nice outdoor area with porches, chairs, fireplace and dock. The place was cozy and well appointed with modern amenities and supplies. We enjoyed the location as a base to relax and do day trips around the area.
