Michigan vacation rentals

This cozy lodge is a very short drive to Big Powderhorn, regarded as the best ski resort in the U.P. It's got 3 comfy bedrooms and a full bath downstairs, plus a nice sauna. Two of the downstairs bedrooms have sliding doors that open to a deck with the hot tub. Upstairs is a large living area with open kitchen and another full bath. It opens onto a nice deck. with woods beyond the backyard. We were here in the summer, so no skiing, but the house made a great base to check out Copper Mountain, hiking trails and waterfalls, plus the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. So the best thing about our stay was Virgina and Marty - they were lovely and sweet and clearly wanted to ensure we had a nice stay. I won't get into details, but we had some health issues and logistical challenges and they went above and beyond to take care of us.

My family ( 11 / 11 / 10 / 8 ) and I just returned from this home. John and Dorene were wonderful hosts and made sure our stay was top notch. The home has everything we needed including two kayaks, paddle boat, grill, firepit and a kitchen with all we needed. It is a great location in the Association with just a quick walk to the community pool. The location in gaylord is great as well with an hour and a half trip to Mackinac, two hours to Sleeping Bear Dunes and 40 minutes to Petoskey. We mixed a few day trips into our week and spent the remainder relaxing at the house at the beach or in the hot tub. My kids loved it and were worn out by the end of the day. We purchased the WIFI for the week @ $8 because Sprint does not get service here. When asked if the kids would like to come back to this home the answer was a resounding YES ! Enjoy and thanks for a great week. The White Family- South Lyon, MI

Stayed here because close to my daughter and granddaughters. House was perfect. My four year old granddaughter loved the basement and toys provided. We had room to spread out and enjoy our visit. Will definitely stay again

Kati’s place is in a great location and just as described. Located technically in Acme, but a 10 min ride to Traverse City. We stayed here in order to be close to the city, be only a drive away from sleeping bear dunes (43 mins away,) mission point lighthouse (30 mins away) and many beautiful wineries (there are 20+ wineries within 30 mins of Kati’s place) Plus, we had a beautiful view, day and night! The resort is lovely - restaurant on site and beach chairs available at both the resort and Kati’s place. The view really is great to wake up to. The studio condo is definitely small, but was perfect for two adults enjoying a long weekend stay. We never felt too “cooped up.” Kati was a great host. We arrived to a kind welcome note and bottle of wine, along with recommendations and instructions for the condo as needed. 10/10. We were new to visiting this area of Michigan, so just adding as an unrelated detail for those who might need to know - many restaurants / wineries / attractions are not fully “open for the season” until June 15th! We came during the first week of June and a handful of spots were still closed, so do your research.

The property is very clean, private, and quiet. It is roomy and nicely equipped, and has quality internet and wifi if you are unfortunate enough to have to VPN into work while on vacation. The location is far enough from South Haven and Saugatuck to not feel part of the touristy cities, but just a few miles from a freeway entrance to reach them easily. It is a short walk to the Lake Michigan shore. The hot tub was very clean and ready to use. The decor is the kind of thing you see on HGTV, but might be hesitant to try in your own home (barn door, shiplap, huge kitchen island, etc.), and it is fun to try out these design ideas to see if they would work for you. The kitchen is well equipped with many utensils and pans, and has a few basic supplies that you might forget to bring, such as cooking oil. When we had a problem with the property (we blew a breaker when we turned on an electric fireplace on the same circuit my brother was charging his car, and the breaker was in a locked space), the property owner was easy to reach and corrected the problem right away.

I will be back again! This was a spacious and clean place to stay that was nearby anything you could ever want or need. The host Alex was very accommodating and always responsive to my questions. I enjoyed feeling like I was at home while there, watching a movie with surround sound with the fireplace going after making dinner in the fully stocked, large kitchen and then going to sleep in the most comfy bed. The shower was super cool to use in the spacious bathroom. Lots of natural daylight and great window treatments to make it dark for rest!! I also did a couple loads of laundry and that was a convenient set up, as well. I couldn’t speak highly enough about the host. He was very kind to us during a rough week with a busy schedule.

We had all commented that the pictures don’t necessarily do this place justice. When you first walk in I was surprised at how nice the open floor plan was. Most things congregate around the kitchen anyway and it was perfect for that. Nice granite countertops, everything was very clean, smelled nice, everything you could want was there. The grill was there and full of propane with an extra tank. Firewood is all stacked nicely for your use, which we did each night. The lake is beautiful in we had a bit of a shorter stay, but next time will definitely rent a pontoon boat or kayaks could even be used on this lake as it is pretty calm. We saw a few of the locals doing that. Property property owner was always in prompt communication. She was very helpful with any of our questions and we had no problems with anything at all while we were there. This area is very nice. You are located in a very peaceful wooded lot with lots of privacy. Small towns, little breweries, Downtown Saugatuck, Holland, Douglas are all close by. We even found some nice little farm stands and bought fresh fruit and some of the local wines while we were there. Like I said, the only regret we really had is that we didn’t have more time. It’s a wonderful experience in a very peaceful and serene setting. Your family will have a wonderful time. Just bring your food and drinks and the rest is all there with the exception of beach towels you may need down by the lake. However, that’s all in the information on the place. Everyone that we had any form of contact with around the area was super nice and friendly. It’s a wonderful little pocket in Michigan that you should really experience.

We recently stayed at this charming log cabin in Gaylord, MI, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt enveloped in tranquility. Here’s why we loved it: Relaxing Ambiance: The cabin’s serene surroundings instantly put us at ease. Nestled amidst lush woodlands, it felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Tranquil Setting: The quietude was remarkable. We woke up to birdsong and the rustling of leaves—a perfect respite from the noise of the city. Laid-Back Vibes: The cabin’s rustic charm and cozy interiors made us feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, read a book, and forget about time. Spotlessly Clean: The cleanliness was impeccable. Every corner of the cabin was well-maintained, and we appreciated the attention to detail. New and Inviting: The cabin had a fresh, new feel. It’s evident that the owners take pride in maintaining their property. And let’s talk about that hot tub! Oh, what a delight. The water was perfectly heated to 104 degrees, and we spent evenings soaking under the star-studded sky. It was pure bliss. We highly recommend this VRBO log cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway. Whether you’re a couple or a family wanting quality time together, this place ticks all the boxes. Thank you for providing such a wonderful retreat—we’ll be back!
