Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Markey Township

Super responsive and very friendly, accommodating host! Location was perfectly located in Higgins lake area. Walkable neighborhood and trails across the street. Cabin has everything you would want or need for up-north getaway. Nice furniture and tv to relax after a day on the lake.

Edyta’s place was perfect - traveling with an infant can be tough, having a place that was equipped with a baby gate, high chair, pack-n-play, and children’s toys made our trip significantly easier. Truly anything you need or want is at or within walking distance to the house! The public beach access, a park, a small convenience/party store and food are all within a 5 mins walk. We had a great trip and can’t wait to visit again (especially once the weather gets a bit warmer!)

had a wonderful stay. I have visited the area alot over the years and to pick this house as our location for a quick side by side trip couldn't have pick a better spot

Everything was fantastic! The place was very clean and felt very cozy! Clinton was very helpful, answered most questions before i could ask! would definitely recommend!

Book it! Go enjoy the state parks, higgins lake, the zoo, miles of trails for bikes or walking and have a beautiful place to call home for the night. Food and ice cream all over the area. It's the kinda of place where they make you pump your gas befor you pay. Took my boat and overall it was just a great time! The place is clean and quiet. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Josh is a awesome host and was very responsive during our stay. The home was awesome and highly recommend!!

Absolutely loved our stay! This place had everything we needed! We did have one accident on our part and let the hosts know immediately and they were very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend this place!!

We had a great time at the chalet on our trip to cross-country ski in the area. Great location and quiet. Appreciated the treats (hot cocoa and s’mores). Kids loved the upstairs. Super comfy beds and nice open layout. Snowed quite a bit before and during our stay- excellent ski conditions and we enjoyed exploring the many xc ski areas within 7-25 min drive (XC Ski Headquarters, Forbush Corner, Hanson Hills, Hartwick Pines). Best lunch was at The Stone Turtle Cafe at XC Ski Headquarters.

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!!

Wonderful place to stay off-season. Exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient and effortless check-in check-out.

A real "Gem" as the name says. We had a very nice time and the host and hostess went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. From check-in to the hugs at check-out, Monica made our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend staying at Grem's Gems cottage. We were sad to leave, felt like we were leaving our own family.

We had a great time staying at Juli and Corky’s place! Everything was so nice and the amenities were well thought out and very thoughtful! And Juli was great to talk to and super helpful and very pleasant. If I’m up here again I will definitely check availability of their homes!

This is our 2nd time staying at Down Memories Lane, and it was just as remarkable as last time! We love being able to have the peace and privacy you find at this property, while still being close to anything you could want to do in Traverse City! You will not find a more polite and accommodating host than Christine, I am sure of it! If we end up coming back for another softball tournament in the future, we will most certainly make it our 3rd stay at Down Memories Lane. 🙂

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!

We were thrilled to find a last minute cancellation at this hidden gem for our labor day weekend trip! Kathy's directions were very thorough. The best part was that she included the use of all of her water toys in the rental - there were two stand-up paddle boards, numerous kayaks and a big rectangular floating pad that the kids loved. The biggest island in the center of Spider Lake is a very doable paddle from there. This property faces north on the lake which is the perfect vantage point to see the Aurora Borealis if the conditions are right, which they were for our time! This has been on my bucket list, so I am beyond thrilled! The stars are amazing too! We all felt comfortable inside and my husband said he had one of the best sleeps he's had in a long time. The kids loved the loft beds. We just wish that the spiders of Spider Lake weren't so abundant on the docks, so our arachnophobic girls could relax more, but there's not much that could have been done about them.

Very comfortable & peaceful stay!

Come here for an oasis set close to many activities available in Traverse City and the surrounding area. Especially convenient if you love to golf! Clean, comfortable rooms, kitchen stocked with all the pots, pans, utensils to cook a great meal. This place is worth your time!

Fabulous place to call home for a few days for a conference being held at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. Holly was the consummate host, communicative and helpful with questions. If you are a golfer, you can't find a better spot.

Great place! We loved the lake and the lake views. I also loved that there was a beach and pontoon boat rentals were on-site!

Comfortable and clean place to stay. Enough space for 2 adults, well equipped kitchen and close to the golf course. We enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive.

Had a great stay! I come into this area frequently for work and this was a great alternative to the Hotel costs which are astronomical in this area during the summer months. Place was clean, easy to access and was just what I needed for a few days in town.

Nice place. 2 beds, 2 baths. host was very prompt with responses

The condo was very cute and clean. Very good communication with the host. No issues checking in or checking out and we had everything that we needed right there.

Was a great place, very private and was able to enjoy the time that my Fiance and I had! Will definitely come back in the future!
