Holiday rentals with a kayak in Michigan

This is a wonderful place for two families to stay in adjacent spaces and enjoy both Hamlin Lake and Lake Michigan. Wonderfully set up for young families (with playground equipment in the lane) and excellent water access. This was our second year and we plan to continue the tradition next year!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Great privacy, cozy house and we loved the amenities of the fire pit and paddle boat. It was perfect for bringing our little one too, with a crib and toys available! We should have brought binoculars for all the cool birds and ducks we saw. There were even swans on the lake! I wish we could have stayed longer. The nearby town of Holly looks like it came straight out of a hallmark movie! It was so cute and had really amazing antique stores as well as some really great little restaurants we were able to try. I would move to this area in a second if I could!

Girls weekend at Van Etten Lake. House is adorable with plenty of amenities. The back deck is as where we spent most of our time. Large and comfy. We had a bonfire one night (thanks for leaving us some wood - it’s hard to gather on motorcycles ;)). Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. We had a beach day in Oscoda and we want to come back! Found some nice spots for dinners. The weekend was over way too soon! Thanks for a great spot!

Very comfortable stay, super clean & neat. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for simple hot meals. Relaxing hot tub just right for two, and oodles of clean towels. Really want to say I appreciate hosts like Jamieson who politely request a few reasonable housekeeping tasks of his guests, instead of long lists of required chores and exorbitant cleaning fees. Would definitely stay there again.

We chose this as a place for papa and his dogs to stay at with our youngest while the rest of us skied at Caberfae Peaks (1 hour drive) and Crystal Mountain (1 hour, 15 minute drive). The cottage felt small but cozy. The outside lighting for walking from the car to the cabin made the place feel safe. The views from the windows were absolutely amazing! There’s a Dollar General within 5 minutes if anything is needed Things that are neither good/bad, just neutral. Just facts that people might like to know: One of the bedrooms has a doorknob that doesn’t lock. The shower is not designed for really tall people. Also, it’s difficult to get the temperature in the shower just right (I had trouble going from lukewarm to burning hot, when I just wanted “hot.”) Overall, a really great stay and would stay again in the future if we’re in the area.

Great host. Responded very quickly any time I had questions. The place was very clean and a great price.

Hosts were very accommodating and great to communicate with. Home was very clean and close to town. We will definitely be staying here again come summertime. Thank you, Deb!

Erin’s place was beautiful. The water was so clear! Beds were super comfortable, and area was nice and quiet.

This lakehouse was a dream. The private dock attached to the huge balcony made for some amazing morning coffee. Better than. I could've hoped!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Crystal's place. It was charming and quaint just like the photos in the listing. We enjoyed walking by the lake in the morning which is super close to the cottage. The location is close to bike trails that we enjoyed as well as downtown Grand Haven and Spring Lake. The perfect place for a Michigan Fall weekend getaway!

I'm going to regret this because it's going to get booked up but our stay was AMAZING! Derrick is a phenomenal host and super responsive. His local recommendations were spot on. It was so quiet and serene - exactly what we needed to recharge. The house was adorable with so many little touches. We never even used the game room (which is great) because every free moment was spent in the swing by the water. The bed in the main room was excellent. We slept like babies. There honestly not one single thing I can think of that would have made our stay any better.

One of, if not the cleanest Airbnb we’ve been to. Everything was ready/easily accessible in the home, didn’t have to worry about missing/going out for anything. Area was really quiet and peaceful, however the bedrooms were close to/facing the road where the occasional car could be heard (1-2 cars per night). Overall had a great time staying here, would definitely recommend and possibly rebook in the future.

The cottage was great for our purposes over the Christmas holiday. Great views from the windows at the back of the house. The host was very accommodating. I can see where this would be a fun place to be in the summer!

We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Owl and Anchor cottage on Lake George. The cottage was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect, our kids loved the lake, and the value was exceptional for the price. We definitely plan on returning!

This cottage was perfect! It was warm, quiet, cozy and clean! The cottage had everything we needed, INCLUDING COFFEE, laundry soap, dish soap and many extras! The hot tub stayed hot even after a couple hours open in the cold. The bed and pillows were amazing. We never closed a curtain, it was so private and quiet! Would definitely stay here again!

Second time visiting this lovely home. Always an enjoyable stay w cozy surroundings. Easy in and out and the hot tub just adds that much more. Looking forward to a third stay in the future!

My sister and I had a peaceful long weekend at Fish Tales. It was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake. It was fun to take the kayaks out and just RELAX. The cottage was a short drive to the swim race location at Half Moon lake that we were visiting for. If you are looking for a peaceful spot with beautiful views this is for you,

The place was cozy and matched the description. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like the bottle of wine, games, and fireplace. The view of the lake was nice. However, the room was quite small, making it a bit tricky to access the bathroom. It did get quite warm, and we didn’t realize until the last night that it was due to the heating device downstairs. The hot tub had quite a bit of hair, which wasn’t ideal, but it didn’t ruin our experience overall.

This was our second stay at Russ’ and Jade’s. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet place in nature..this is it! The cabin is very inviting and clean, and the view of the river is beautiful. We appreciated the immediate response from the hosts when needed. It’s a great place.

Convenient to little sand lake. The lake was frozen over while we were there. Was exactly what we were looking for.

second time staying. great place. looking forward to coming back every year

John was one of the most friendly, communicative, flexible hosts I've ever experienced. He was thoroughly delightful, conscientious, and helpful. The cabin was charming and cozy.

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
