Cottage holiday rentals in Mackinac Island

Very clean and cozy place with great amenities and resources! Hosts were very proactive and provided almost anything you’d need for activities during your stay.

What a great stay! I love an A frame and this house was perfect. It was well stocked - even had plenty of wood for the fire pit. The s'mores welcome kit was perfect. I will say that if you have a hard time with stairs then this house probably isn't for you because the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs but Carrie has several other homes to choose from. It really is peaceful. There are neighbors but they are quiet and we only saw one set of neighbors the three days we were there. The dirt roads to the house weren't bad either. I will stay here again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Actually am seriously considering taking my 3 college age daughters for a girls' weekend.

Anna was a great host! Very responsive and reached out to see if we needed anything. Her cottage is super clean, cozy, and the tranquility of the location can’t be beat. We shall return!

Loved the seclusion, the hot tub and the location was the perfect get away!

This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

This was a beautiful home located on a tranquil lake with serene views and so much local wildlife! My family spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor patio, bonfire pit and watching swans, ducks and birds from the dock. The home itself has comfortable lounging space for a bigger family and includes a well stocked kitchen. The space is very clean. The local area has bike paths which are very scenic as well. Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend this host and this property enough. Nathan was communicative while we were still looking at the property, and responded quickly through the rest of the process until check out. He provided great recommendations for local places to try out and we had a peaceful stay. The property was roomier than expected for the master and cozy for the spare rooms, and we especially loved the living room and outdoor furniture. So happy to have found this gem of a place and excited to come back in the future!

Ryan’s home was clean and comfortable for our week long stay. It has a beautiful view and the hot tub was very relaxing. He was very easy to communicate with! Would highly recommend if looking for a retreat in northern Michigan.

Nice little cabin, close to many bodies of water and centrally located between Glen Arbor and Leland. Had a great time.

Beautiful, secluded area. We saw deer, turkeys, a porcupine, and other birds. We also watched the sunrise several times. Arlen was gone but his parents, who live next door, were very responsive, including selling us fresh bread and helping us look at our car when we had an issue. While you're on the island, check out the fort and the artifact museum. Bring bug spray for the mosquitoes. Depending on your water preference, you might want to buy bottled water to drink. Also, the beach is more rocky than sandy. Overall though, we definitely enjoyed our stay.

House was very comfortable and easy for my elderly mother to get around. The handicap ramp and large bedroom and bathroom on the main floor made it possible for her enjoy the weekend. Road noise was not a problem once inside the house. The house was very organized and well equipped with everything we needed. We chose this place because we were traveling with a small dog and they even had dog supplies handy, leashes and paw wipes, right by the front door. The communication with the host was also amazing.

**Review of Our Stay at Teresa's AirB&B** If I could rate this place a 10, I absolutely would! From the moment we booked Teresa's AirB&B, my expectations were exceeded. I anticipated a simple house, but what we found was a fully stocked home that made us feel truly welcomed—perhaps I even overpacked! The cleanliness of the property was impressive; it looked exactly as depicted in the photos. We enjoyed a variety of activities, including kayaking and cozy bonfires in the backyard, which added to our memorable experience. The attention to detail was remarkable, and the proximity to the lake, just a few minutes away, made our stay even more enjoyable. We even drove up to Leland Mi “fish town” Overall, My 35th birthday was awesome! we had an amazing time and are already planning our return. Thank you, Teresa, for providing such a wonderful getaway! 😊

This was our second stay at the Blue Kettle Cottage and we are already planning a third! Deirdre is super friendly and communicative, always responding to any questions we may have. The home is very clean, cozy, and has all the amenities including a full kitchen. Less than a 10 minute drive to Empire and the Dunes, and within a half hour to Traverse City, Suttons Bay and Leland. Our favorite part is sitting on the patio just enjoying the peacefulness and nature. Can't wait to return!

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!

Very cute historic home, felt so comfy and cozy my entire stay. The king sized bed was so comfortable and the linens were so soft! House was on a quiet street, I loved sitting out on the deck enjoying nature and the river. I also enjoyed walking along the river, and even walked to downtown and back easily. Appreciated all the local recommendations provided by the host :) Would definitely stay here again!

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 .

Quiet and peaceful. Very spacious. Plenty of living area inside and out. Access to garage was a big plus for bike storage. Neighbor who owned lakefront property was awesome. He initiated contact with us and offered use and access to lakefront. we really enjoyed our stay. Great location for Mackinaw tourist stuff.

First of all the location is just mind blowing. So quite and so private. Access to almost private beach. The cottage was cozy and had all the basic amenities that one would need for a small vacation with family. Whatever query we had Alec always responded within a few minutes. Was very happy with this stay. The only thing i would point out is that the exterior of the place needs a little cleaning and maintenance and i wish the kitchen had a little more utensils but thats about it. The lake is right across the street but not the best spot for bathing as its full of stones and too shallow but still beautiful to just sit and relax.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, tidy and cozy. The back deck was great and we enjoyed sitting out there watching the water. We like to cook so all of the lovely appliances were a bonus. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting the area.

Anita was an amazing host! She responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s more beautiful in person. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, toaster, cookware, they thought of everything. Even had extra sunscreen the bathroom. The beach area was also very clean and well stocked, we enjoyed going out on the kayaks. It was the perfect setting to exhale and escape the world for a week on our own private beach. We will definitely be booking with Anita again!

Great house great lake- close to mackinac island

The place is very nice, practical, and comfortable. Mia is very kind and responded quickly whenever we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the cabin was wonderful! We could sit in the back porch for days watching all the birds and critters in the backyard. There were tons of amenities that made this cabin feel right at home!

We enjoyed three nights at The Sunflower Chalet. We enjoyed the fireplace and games that were provided, and the kids loved the air hockey table and basketball hoop in the basement. The basketball hoop outside was another favorite for the kids. The chalet was very clean, quiet, and perfect for our group. We enjoyed restaurants in Indian River and Alanson. We also skied at the Highlands. Linda and Jessica were very responsive to our questions. Thank you for sharing your wonderful spot with us!
