Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Leelanau County

Perfect location and a wonderful host! Far enough away from downtown for privacy, but close enough where it’s easy to get to everything (downtown Traverse City, Old Mission wineries, etc) also there’s a very nice walking path in the back, which is a great way to start the morning. Highly recommend!

My husband and I love the Leelanau peninsula and try to go up once in the spring before the craziness and once in the fall each year. Tiffany’s place did not disappoint. The property its self was magical, private, and everything as described. The location was 5 stars for what we enjoy - Leland, Suttons Bay, Northport, Glen Arbor and all in between! Would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

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.

House location was 12/10. Couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Walking distance to trails and sits right on the lake. Kids loved playing in and on the water with the kayaks provided. Would highly recommend the home to family and friends and would stay here anytime our family returns to the area. House was as advertised and Joe was very responsive and offered local trails and areas to eat.

We loved this cozy cabin in the woods. It was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family of three. Loved that there were travel sized shampoos, conditioner, and soaps. Also they left a little snack bowl out with chips and popcorn and a s’mores kit! Thoughtful touches!!!

This place was perfect. The boys had so much fun in the garage and the location is awesome to get to all the things.

We cannot say enough good things about your stay & Beth! My family was in town for our wedding & Beth was more than accommodating with early check in so we could get things going! While I had a busy weekend as the bride, Beth sent multiple messages checking in on us & letting us know if we needed anything to just reach out! Even my mother mentioned how amazing that the home had everything stocked & we didn’t need to bring a thing! Something that not every Airbnb offers. The home looked right out at the water, it was updated and such stunning features, lots of spacious areas & rooms, and truly the perfect place to reset during a busy weekend! We hope to stay with Beth at this stunning home again on our next trip to Traverse!

This place was perfect! We were in town for a family wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Very clean and comfy and just a 10 second walk from shops, ice cream, and restaurants! Woulda definitely stay again! The homemade brownie mix was an extra special touch!

I absolutely loved my stay at this charming studio! It had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing solo retreat. The setting is incredible - right on the water. The views were breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and the private sandy beach made it feel like a hidden oasis. The landscaping is gorgeous , and the beachfront seating, fire pit, and beach toys made it easy to unwind and enjoy. The patio was a perfect spot to relax with a view and peaceful atmosphere. The owners were so kind and welcoming. It felt tucked away, yet still close to everything. Truly the best of both worlds. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, and relaxing stay with stunning setting.

We had a wonderful stay. The host was very responsive. The space was beautiful and comfortable.

Great stay in an adorable, walkable town. Plenty to do, great food and drinks in a beautiful location on the bay. Would highly recommend and would revisit. Perfect stay.

Perched on a peaceful hilltop surrounded by trees, the Birdhouse offers cozy, thoughtful accommodations. You will find that Joyce has thought about every detail in how the space is designed. From the delicious local coffee from Higher Grounds, to the comfortable bed and all of the kitchen supplies you could need, your shelter needs will be met - and then some with Joyce’s hospitality. We used her detailed visiting guide to pick up dinner (which did not disappoint in the least! Run, don’t walk, to Nittolo’s!) Our time in northern Michigan is always a treat. It feels like time is slower and the days are a little less stressful and our time at Joyce’s was no exception. This past weekend at the Birdhouse was one of our most memorable trips and Joyce’s hospitality played a large part in that. She was communicative leading up to our arrival date, was helpful when we had questions and was kind enough to let us meet and spend time with her adorable pups. We can't wait to return!

Great location with a super host. Only small issues — no freezer for the ice pad we need for a knee issue and, the bed, though comfortable is insanely high — even with a step stool was tough for my five foot wife to get in and out of. Super thick mattress plus a couple inch topper. Incredibly well stocked and super clean. Parking was a breeze and the front deck was a real nice bonus. Wonderful experience.

Jason’s studio was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, well equipped, and conveniently located to all the area has to offer. Highly recommended!

Our stay was perfect thanks to Camille! The place was everything we could’ve asked for. A nice, big kitchen to store and cook all our food, plenty of space to fit everyone, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We will definitely look to come back and stay here whenever we are back in the Empire/Maple City/Glen Arbor area!

We had a wonderful weekend and totally enjoyed the Condo. It was clean, organized and we felt right at home. We most definitely would stay there again. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent from you. It was nice to have a home, instead of just hotel rooms. Excellent experience.

Very close to a quiet little beach. Nice quiet place to stay.

We loved Jody’s place in Empire. It was a great location for exploring the Lake MI coastline. The place was very clean and well stocked. The bed was so comfortable and we loved sitting on the front porch to drink coffee in the morning. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this spot to others!

We spent a week at Dylan and Suzanne's condo. We planned it as a relaxing getaway – and it really was. The weather turned out a bit cooler than expected, but that ended up being perfect since we did a few days of hiking and the rest exploring the small towns along the coast. (Highly recommend the Bayview Trail that's accessible right from The Homestead.) Each day we'd come back and hang out on the screened-in deck. Our favorite feature! Even on the rainiest day when it was in the mid-50s, we grabbed a blanket and sat out there. It's just so peaceful. You can hear the waves and the surrounding trees make you feel like you're way off the beaten path. The condo is well-appointed and comfortable. I love the artwork they have on the walls. Lots of soothing scenes. Glen Arbor is a great spot to explore and close to many other lakeshore towns. Super easy to get around. If we're in the area in the future, we'd happily book the condo again!

We stayed at Caroline's place for a long weekend getaway and it was lovely. The home was clean and cozy, we felt like we were in a treehouse with the wooded surroundings and fresh snow fall. It was very peaceful. We loved the wood burning fireplace. There was firewood and starters available in the sheds outside which was very convenient. It's also walking distance to the spa nearby which has a great view of the lake. We hope to come back and visit again sometime!

Our stay was relaxing and exactly what we needed. The walk to the water was short and easy, giving us great views of the sunset.

WOW! Incredible condo with a breathtaking view - clean, spacious, and great light! Note to pack light as you’ll have to carry everything you bring up and down a ton of stairs, but it’s so worth it! We will definitely be back!

Amazing time, great location and just what we needed during our stay in downtown, will be back again! :)
