Holiday rentals with lake access in Crawford County

We stayed for a weekend with family and our fur babies and had an amazing time. Courtney let us check in earlier which was nice of her and we got to enjoy the water. The water was just as described crystal clear. House was super clean and cozy. We will definitely stay again next year.

My husband and I came to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Alex was so kind from the start and communicated helpful information, giving detailed instructions and made it clear he was available for anything we needed whenever. We had a great stay and hope to come back and visit some day in the future. Thanks Alex for being such a great airbnb host, you go the extra mile and it shows :) you will regret NOT staying here, so make sure you book this one.

Great property and friendly community! We utilized the grill and lots of outdoor yard games. The host was responsive and helpful the entire stay!

Beautiful place, that’s surprisingly private. Very peaceful.

This home was the perfect spot for a quick weekend escape—peaceful, relaxing, and filled with great amenities. The view of the lake was beautiful, especially at sunrise, and made mornings feel extra special. Everything inside was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Communication with the host was excellent—clear, responsive, and helpful from start to finish. Overall, a great place to unwind and recharge.

Walking in through the front door, the living room looks like a house from a “House Beautiful “ magazine. It’s so welcoming and decorated so uniquely. The kitchen is so well stocked with utensils, bakeware and cookware. The beds were very comfortable. As were the recliners in the living room. The scenery out the back windows was by far the eye catcher. You look down the hill from the house over the lake. Hubby fished three times each day of our stay. We will definitely be back. It is a Golden Buzzer Airbnb.

Wonderful place to stay! Went for a golf trip slept 8 of us comfortably. 15 min from tree tops resorts and surrounding golf courses all close. I would recommend for future golfers!

Visited the area to play Forest Dunes golf course. The course was a short 14 minute drive away. Naomi was great and recommended a couple local places for breakfast. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed staying at Fawn’s place!! This was a top tier place! She thought of everything and provided so many extras like snacks, an assortment of drinks and even chocolates on the pillows. The decor was very well done and it was so clean and comfortable. It was a great spot to stay as we explored some of north Michigan. We slept well and the surroundings were very peaceful and quiet. We would stay here again without any hesitation. Fawn was quick to answer questions and help in any way. We enjoyed staying here very much!!

Very cozy and great location right next to Shanty Creek Resort Hotel and very easy to get downtown Bellaire. You can either catch a ride to Schuss on the free bus transportation from the resort or take a quick drive. Overall great place for a romantic get a way!

We had a great stay and would absolutely book again. The host was super accommodating, especially with our check-in time so we could make it to a friend’s wedding without stress. The space was perfect for a group—three separate rooms gave everyone privacy while still having common areas to hang out. Clean, comfortable, and well set up for a weekend with friends. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay for your next ski trip!

Very nice rental, exactly as pictured. Location was perfect for skiing, tubing, indoor pool access, resort restaurants. Everything within minutes to Schuss Mountain, Shanty Creek or Bellaire (Short’s brewery). Very cozy space. Fireplace was great, comfortable seating/bed, coffee pods. Would definitely come back.

We had a little hiccup at the very beginning, however, Vicky was extremely responsive and immediately fixed the issue. Beds were soft and comfy overall a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic experience staying here. The hosts were incredibly responsive, friendly, and always available to answer any questions we had. Communication was quick and seamless throughout our stay. The place felt very homey from the moment we arrived—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully maintained, and equipped with a variety of amenities and activity options to suit different interests. The location is also ideal: close to downtown and the resort, making everything easily accessible. We highly recommend staying here and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Karen was an amazing host! Check in was extremely easy and the place was easy to find! Both Karen and Mark were so so friendly! My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed wandering through Karen's shop downstairs all while chatting with Karen the whole time. We felt like we've known her for years! She was so helpful while I was trying to find the perfect gift in her shop. The space we stayed in was perfect! It was cozy, comfortable and clean! The black out curtains were welcomed, as were the A/C's and fan! The furniture was comfortable and everything we needed for the weekend. Highly recommend to anyone, and we will definitely be back in the event we come back to that area. Zero complaints!

if you're looking for a place to stay I highly recommend the guest house! Cherie was wonderful and the house was close to a park for fishing and swimming. location was great in between Petoskey and traverse City. can't wait to come back and stay again

This is an amazing property with a remarkable view over the lake. It is a very tranquil location and it is easy to feel close to nature. The cabin is very well appointed and was perfect! The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a five star property and experience. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time at this home! It is very clean, well taken care of, and has all the amenities you need. The host was very communicative and helpful as well. Our favorite part of the house was the back yard; we enjoyed having a bonfire, playing lawn games, grilling, sitting in the Adirondack chairs, and catching bass from the dock and kayaks. The swimming area did have some weeds, but the beach itself was spotless and has great views. There is lots to do in Gaylord (and Northern Michigan in general), and this was an amazing home base for our group, especially for a bigger group since it has many beds, baths, and spaces to enjoy. I highly recommend this house!

True North at Higgins Lake is a great find. It is immaculately clean with special touches like local art and a well stocked bathroom and kitchen. Beds and linens are nice like what you’d expect in a higher-end hotel. Just a short walk to the lovely Higgins Lake and a fire pit to enjoy s’mores. Natalie provides exceptional, unfussy instructions. We felt very comfortable there.

I enjoyed my stay. The property is beautiful and if you’re looking to get away and you’re in the area this is the place. No complaints!

Great little place on the lake. Convenient location to Main St and plenty of beautiful golf courses within a half hour drive! Great for a golf trip

Great place! We had a great time and loved the S'mores and small touches added to the house :)

Great place to stay, this was our second time staying here and will def book again!
