Holiday rentals with a kayak in Fife Lake

Great place for a get way, bring all you need before coming. Get a jeep and go off roading on the budweiser trail. Overall it’s fun.

Quiet and private environment which contributed to a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The hosts were very responsive and communicative. The AC kind of went out and the hosts promptly got someone out to fix it. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed a couple days on the boat (Northaire rentals), then did day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island and then a down day with the kayaks and SUP. My husband enjoyed fishing off the Dockside Pier. We enjoyed ice cream at Moomers, local cider at Royal Farms and our best meal at Toonie’s for Friday fish fry. Us southerners should have been better prepared for colder water and later seasons. The longer days also threw us for a loop but still a great first trip to Michigan!

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!

Perfect for the whole family. We booked for my son’s 3rd birthday and I’m so glad we did! We had trouble finding an Airbnb that was dog friendly without a weight limit. Not only did they allow our gentle giant, they accommodated him with inside and outside crating. It was a bit chilly but my son stayed busy the whole week. There was plenty of toys for inside as well as the beach. The water was shallow enough that it warmed up quick despite the wind. We did lots of fishing both off the dock and on the boats. We caught blue gill, bass, and perch. The house was cozy but big enough for all our guests. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, especially with all the stuff we didn’t think to bring. There was also plenty of linens. We enjoyed the amenities and the lake vibe decorations. The location was close to cutesty Lake City and a doable drive to the big cities. We would book again for our next trip to Traverse City!

Pure heaven! One of the most peaceful, beautiful, and comfortable stays we’ve had! Pristine interior with outstanding views of lake, every amenity (including beach toys) we could have wanted. The perfect couples getaway to recharge our batteries. Would be great for young families too. Bass Lake is divine for kayaking among the lily pads and loons, watching the sunsets, or just chilling on the deck. My husband was pouting all the way home as we hated to leave. Check-in was super easy, everything was top notch start to finish. Can’t wait to rebook next year.

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 came up here to play Arcadia Bluffs and this was a perfect spot to relax in-between. The space had numerous outdoor areas to eat/hang out and was completely private. The beds are on opposite ends of the house, each with their own bathroom, perfect for 2 couples or a family.

Such a beautiful place to stay. My Grandpa owned this property in the 70's and my family was happy to see how well maintained the cottage is and the nature that surrounds it. It was such a blessing for us to come back and visit. Thank you for taking such good care of it.

Ben was able to accommodate my last minute stay and I’m so appreciative! I was hoping to get away from the city and enjoy watching the lake with my partner and pup. We were obsessed with the sunroom, multiple board games/puzzle available, watching movies and just catching back up. The lake is still a bit chilly which worked for me because nobody else was out and about! It was such a peaceful, calming trip and I would definitely come back.

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.

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

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!

My husband and I had a wonderful time relaxing at this lake house. It had everything needed for us to kick back, relax, and unplug. Our host was very responsive with every contact that we made! The only thing I would add to the house description is that there are a few pretty tall steps in the house, so someone with bad knees might want to consider that. Great place and well with the money!

The Memory Maker was all that we hoped for and so much more. We had initially intended to find an Airbnb on Torch Lake but once we saw this place we booked it right away and it was the perfect choice. We still trailered the boat a quick ride to Torch for an adventure but spent the majority of our trick on Elk Lake and loved it. This Airbnb thought of everything and we wanted for nothing! We took our four adult children and their significants and our grandbaby and we all had plenty of room to enjoy our stay! Hank and Alaina

Great spot, exactly what we needed! It’s small and cozy, in a quiet area 10-15 minutes drive from anything you need. Smooth check in, clean spot, had whatever amenities you could think of. One thing: If you are taller than me (6’4) you may have some trouble with the bathroom. I made it work but were I an inch taller I wouldn’t have been able to fit for certain activities 😂

We had a great time at the cabin, the hosts and cabin are top notch and would highly recommend this place to anyone considering.

Awesome house for a long weekend with a big group! It is about a 25-30 minute drive into Traverse City but we appreciated the peacefulness of the smaller lake and beautiful views. Gets pretty buggy at night but that is to be expected on the water in the summer. Some of the most comfortable beds our group had slept in at an Airbnb! Only thing to note that the pictures don’t really show is that the trundle bed is in a loft so will be able to hear from the living room. Pontoon boat was an awesome value add. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great little cabin! Homey and inviting. Nice views and well priced. Everything you’ll need is there for a little getaway. Mardi was responsive and even let us check out later even when we didn’t ask for that! Pretty cool place. Very chill. Only thing we didn’t really care about was for was the moth ball smell as soon as we walked in. Great place overall! Would stay again.

The cabin was perfect. So many useful amenities. Perfect for our family snowmobiling trip.

My wife and I went here with our two dogs for our 4 year anniversary and the location was perfect. It was very peaceful and we are very happy that we were able to stay at this property and make memories.

Our family had an amazing time. Great location.

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

Chelsea‘s cottage was a great, cozy, clean northern retreat. We will definitely be back!
