Vacation rentals with a kayak in East Bay Township

Courtney was a great host and very responsive! The location was beautiful and has plenty to do for a winter getaway away. We loved our time here.

This was the perfect location to stay for our fall golf trip to Arcadia Bluffs. A beautiful home less than 20 minutes to the course. Highly recommended.

The Mangy Moose is the place to be! John has thought of everything! We came over our spring break (March) for fishing, so we didn't get to use all the summer amenities... But we enjoyed the beautiful kitchen (for yummy home cooked meals), awesome large dining table (for meals and games), large tv with lots of channels, beautiful fireplace, hot tub, and the kids LOVED the club house. Plus the 4-bed & 4-bath setup was perfect to blend (2) families together for a very comfortable stay for 9 people (total) for the week. This place is a true gem and we are already talking about next year!

The lake house was exactly as described and looked just like the photos. Plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked. Lots of blankets and pillows. The lake was beautiful and the kayaks were really nice to have. Would definitely recommend.

If your looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. Beautiful scenery and wild life.

Spent the weekend here for my wife's birthday with some friends. Great location for winery tours/local food, and everything you would need inside and out. Roger is a very responsive host and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay as welcoming as possible. Plenty of room inside the house for sleeping for 3 adult couples, could've even fit a 4th no problem in the loft. Home was spacious and the screened in porch is a great hangout spot overlooking the lake.

The host was so friendly, the views were beyond stunning. And I found a petoskey!! I wish I had never left!

This cabin was so much more than we expected. We tend to stay in cabins when we go on vacation, and in particular log cabins. This was the cleanest, most spotless cabin we've ever stayed in. The cabin was bright and extremely cozy. The couch was very comfortable - the perfect way to spend an evening watching Netflix after a full day's worth of outdoor activities. So many small touches and amenities - too many to note. We would absolutely visit again with our doggie who had a great time too!

The cottage was exactly what we expected, and more so. The view of the lake was just as spectacular in the morning as it was in the evenings!! Extremely comfortable, homey, and a great place to relax!! First time visiting Michigan, won't be the last. Thank you John & Melanie for providing such a wonderful place to stay!! Lynne & Bryan

The cottage was exactly what was advertised and the pictures were accurate. The cottage was very warm, inviting and clean. We had a great time on the water and the location was great to go to other areas such as Traverse City as well. Very nice property!

We had a lovely stay! The cottage was so cute and I just loved how they decorated it! We absolutely loved the hot tub and used it every day! We decided to walk down to the beach through all the snow, would love to stay in the summer when we can actually go swimming!! Ate at Peegeos twice during our stay, so close and so good, get the cheesecake! So delicious and made from scratch! We will definitely be back!

We had such a great time at the Blue Pearl Cottage. We stayed for a girls trip and truly enjoyed ourselves with the special amenities like hot tubs, robes, and beautiful views. Mark was amazing and responsive to any questions we had. Love this place and we will definitely be back.

Great little cozy cottage in a secluded community. Stayed here in early April so didn’t get to take advantage of the beach/gazebo/firepit, but they looked very nice. Nice location close enough to the city but is off the main drag. Would love to stay here again!

Was very nice to get away and just relax. There was a storm hitting the area and very cold and windy but the home was very comfortable. Felt at home and will definitely be back over the summer!

This was our first repeat Airbnb experience, we enjoyed Laurie’s place that much! It’s peaceful and the lake is lovely, no matter the time of year. Close to Short’s brewing and Schuss mountain, not far from Boyne, it’s quiet but still well located to have a great up north adventure. It’s also well stocked with toys and books, which is a great plus for our family! And Laurie is super responsive and kind. We might stay a third time!

Memory maker is a beautiful place in Elk Rapids. Peaceful, in front of the lake, excellent location to spend time with a small group of friends/family and 30 minutes away from Traverse city. Really charming and had all amenities for a quick getaway. Even in frosty temperatures, the place looks like a safe heaven.

Wonderful cabin for relaxing and enjoy the lake and the sunset!!

Absolutely loved our stay at this charming little cabin tucked away in the woods along the Rapid River. It was the perfect peaceful escape—quiet, cozy, and surrounded by nature. The sound of the river nearby was so calming, and the cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. You can tell the hosts put a lot of care into making it feel warm and welcoming. If you’re looking to unplug and recharge, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Tom was great! he helped us out with a trailer issue, highly recommend staying here! will be going back again

A very cozy cabin with a beautiful view. The fall colors were amazing.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the host spoiled us with welcome treats, drinks, and toiletries. Monica was so communicative, friendly, and helpful. The property and outside amenities were amazing. Our stay was absolutely perfect, peaceful, and so relaxing. They thought of everything we needed and more.

My family and I enjoyed this place. Super cute and cozy. Not too far from Boyne Mountain (we had a blast there!) My daughter enjoyed the hot tub. The view of the stars from the hot tub was AMAZING!!! Only con is the projector sound was too low. Having a sound system would make it better. Ultimately, i would stay there again. Super responsive host too.

Quiet, clean, and cozy! A great weekend stay

This place checks all the boxes with an amazing host. Will be back annually. Craig, thanks again for a great stay
