Holiday rentals with a kayak in Lake Charlevoix

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.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It was perfectly set up for our two families of four, the layout gave us plenty of space to spread out, especially with the basement having its own bathroom and cozy family room. The fenced-in yard was a huge bonus for our dogs, giving them room to play safely while we relaxed. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the lake, and we had such a great time exploring the area. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

Beautiful home, in a location perfectly situated for river life (amazing birding!) and walker-friendly town life. The large kitchen is better equipped than my own, and the interior floor-plan made it easy for our group to be comfortable, whether gathered or in separate spaces. The scenic grounds are kept perfectly manicured. The owner lives close by and is very helpful with sharing information and lending kayaks, canoe, and life vests. The house is historic yet feels fresher than a new home - overall a great experience.

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!

Convenient launching pad for winter adventures. Under 10 minute drive to Treetops which was perfect for our weekend ski trip.

This is a one of a kind property. It’s a safe place for the kids to run around and explore. We loved the disc golf so much.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the house and its surroundings. The house exceeded our expectations; it had everything we needed and more! Loved the game room, the dock, fire pit, and deck! We’ll be back!!

My fiancé stayed here for a weekend with his friends and they had a great time! Tara was quick with responses and was a great host! :)

We had a great family of 6 getaway to this peaceful cabin. It was a great space to spend time together playing games, watching movies, and walking down to the lake. So pretty! Also, Aaron provided instructions in advance of what we needed to know. It is perfectly situated near Charlevoix and Petoskey. Thank you for a nice space to have family time and allow our grand pup to join us!

This cozy, quiet, very clean and homey space has become our favorite rental home of all we have rented. The personal touches really made us feel we were staying at a family or friend’s home. It had paper ware, seasonings, clean pots pans, coffee, zip lock bags, candles throughout the home. The bedding, pillows and towels were top notch. Not to mention the wonderful hot tub, kayaks, dock space, grill and fire pit. I will make mention the 2 bedroom are upstairs. 2 full bathrooms but bathroom upstairs next to bed rooms is a bathtub only. Mark was so pleasant and attentive to answer any of our questions and we look forward to a return trip.

The mist clearing on the lake in the morning sun reveals the changing colors of trees in the Fall Season. At night, the constellations sparkle strongly and clearly in the dark sky. And the sounds of silence increase the sense of peace and wonder. This is what you can experience whether sitting around a lakeside fire or sitting in the front room of the cottage. And making a home cooked meal is a pleasure as well...the kitchen supports good cooking and the dining room table supports warm and interesting conversations. Thanks, Leanne

Great place to unwind and relax! Ellsworth Lake is such a beautiful spot and holds many memories for our family.

Stayed in Topinbee to attend Mackinac Island Lilac Festival. This was an amazing spot to relax from the busy festival activites! Having a quiet evening in the hot tub with the beautiful view of Lake Mullet was quickly a favorite activity! Cannot recommend this rental enough for an extremely relaxed and pleasant lakeside space. Hosts were very responsive, gave great recommendations, and were incredibly helpful when we worried we misplaced one of our personal items. Hopefully we'll be able to make the trip again next year for the next fest!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Beaver Tales! The cottage is a peaceful hideaway with incredible views. The home was clean, well-stocked, and had plenty of space for 2 adults, 3 kids under 10, and our small dog. The beach right in front is a mix of rocks and sand as the host described, but with water shoes the swimming was great and we spent hours rock hunting. The drop off is very gradual, perfect for the kids. The water was crystal clear most of the time but can get churned up depending on the wind and waves. There are also perfect sandy beaches within a 5-minute drive in either direction. Elizabeth was very responsive and flexible, and it was a wonderful experience all around. This was our first visit to the island and we'll certainly be back!

We lo ved our stay at the cottage. Spider Lake is lovely and very relaxing. Nikki was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We would absolutely want to book it again .

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

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

We recently stayed at this breathtaking Airbnb, and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was! The location offers stunning panoramic views—whether you’re enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, the scenery is simply unforgettable. The house itself is beautifully well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. After a long day, we gathered around the firepit to enjoy the warmth and make s’mores. It was a magical way to end the evenings, and the hosts provided all the tools and ingredients we needed to make the experience perfect. This place is truly a peaceful retreat and has all the comforts you could ask for. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of nature, comfort, and a memorable stay! Amanda's kindness and care for their guests made us feel welcome. She went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. A wonderful host who made sure our family vacation would be memorable and special.

What a beautiful place to stay! Everything was exactly as stated, yet even better. Every year, as three couples, we find a place for a long weekend to catch up. We determined that we will be back though we usually try new places. While the weather could have been warmer, we still found plenty to do and there’s always sitting by the bonfire. Many places charge for wood, but this host supplies it for us, which is very generous. The button on the coffee maker broke and we offered to pay for a new one, but the host picked one up and dropped off the same day. Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home, Craig! We appreciate your hospitality and we will be back!

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!

Michael was very responsive. He had courtesy to text before coming to the cabin. He has a great personality and very friendly. The cottage was beautiful, clean and peaceful which is what we were looking for . We had such a relaxing time that we are planning for next years trip and staying there. We had cottage 1 and what a beautiful view of the lake. My husband was able to fish with boat provided and enjoyed himself.. Overall wonderful experience. Thank you Michael.

Great place to stay for everything Manistee River! Clean, comfortable, quiet and plenty of room to relax. Lesley was great and very responsive. We would definitely stay again.
