Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Glen Arbor Township

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful first getaway at Sarah’s place. The property was peaceful, private, and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We had a great time visiting Na-Tah-Ka, exploring Ludington, the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and more — but some of our favorite moments were just spent enjoying the quiet beauty of the property itself. We’ll definitely be back to soak in the tranquility and natural surroundings again. Sarah was a kind and responsive host, and her place is absolutely worth the stay. 🌲

Great location! Walkable location to town and a short drive to Sleeping Bear! Super cute cozy house. Everything was new, nicely decorated, and well stocked.

We had a lovely, relaxing 5 days at this camp. It is simple but appears to be recently renovated. It’s not high end (the kitchen chairs are cheap plastic) but it’s clean, comfortable, and tasteful. It’s nestled on the lake with a gorgeous view. Sadly, the renovation did not include a dishwasher. Bayshore does a great job stocking the place - there are plenty of replacement supplies, including coffee. Two Bayshore annoyances: I requested a rubber spatula/flipper so the non stick pans didn’t get further damaged. Their response: I could purchase one myself. Also, you have to drag the trash can 200 yards up the driveway on Tuesday nights or “there may be an additional fee.” Still, I would stay there again.

Fantastic home! We loved everything about this place. Lots of space for our family of six. House was clean, stocked with lots of amenities. Linens, towels, board games, books, kitchen supplies.. We loved the beautiful view, deck, fire pit, dock, paddle board and kayak. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

The house was really nice, clean and comfortable. The setting was peaceful and quiet. It was easy to walk on the street. We had a couple of questions and David and Nicole were extremely responsive and very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Aimee was a very responsive host; friendly, helpful and accommodating. The house was clean, well appointed and stocked with lots of tasty snacks, drinks and all coffee supplies. We would definitely stay at Aimee’s house again!

Everything was very, very nice. Would choose it again for sure

We had a great holiday weekend and thank you for sharing your place with us! It truly is a gem. Close to town but far enough away to disconnect and find peace away from the bustle of life. The rental was very clean and very open for a family to spread out. We cooked almost all meals in and really enjoyed the outdoor space. The host has great response time and provided useful info regarding things to do in the area. Wished we had stayed longer but would stay again!

Katy’s place was extremely clean and presented very nicely! The bed was super comfortable and the accommodations were overall very nice! Katy’s texts were always informative and she responded quickly which I appreciated! I came for the Bayshore Marathon and the location was very convenient and you could walk to packet pickup. Restaurants and shops are close by. Downtown Traverse City is a short drive and we didn’t have a problem finding parking. Overall , my husband and I enjoyed Katy’s place and would stay there again next time we are in Traverse City!

I absolutely loved my stay at this charming studio! It had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing solo retreat. The setting is incredible - right on the water. The views were breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and the private sandy beach made it feel like a hidden oasis. The landscaping is gorgeous , and the beachfront seating, fire pit, and beach toys made it easy to unwind and enjoy. The patio was a perfect spot to relax with a view and peaceful atmosphere. The owners were so kind and welcoming. It felt tucked away, yet still close to everything. Truly the best of both worlds. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, and relaxing stay with stunning setting.

We had a great time, definitely a cozy stay, enjoyed the paddleboat, our kids lived being on the lake as well. we recommend this guest suite and look forward to staying again!

very clean and comfortable. we had a wonderful stay and slept very well. will definitely be coming back if we are in the area again.

Great stay and clean. Main bed very comfortable. Convenient to Boyne City and Petoskey. Would recommend and stay again.

This was our second stay at Ken and Rhonda’s. It is still as nice as we remembered. It was very clean- which is always appreciated. Our dogs loved laying outside and listening to the birds. Thank you for a peaceful place to stay up north!

Our stay was perfect thanks to Camille! The place was everything we could’ve asked for. A nice, big kitchen to store and cook all our food, plenty of space to fit everyone, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. We will definitely look to come back and stay here whenever we are back in the Empire/Maple City/Glen Arbor area!

Location was perfect for all of the up north adventures like sleeping bear dunes, Leelanau Peninsula, hiking, golfing, and of course Lake Michigan. This spot was a perfect quiet retreat at the end of the busy days, and had stunning views! I would happily stay here again.

My first stay in Traverse City couldn’t have been any better thanks to Morgan’s amazing Airbnb. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops while also being far enough away to enjoy the quiet at night! Everything in the Airbnb was spotless and checkin/checkout was super easy. The guidebook was also very helpful and came in handy when deciding where to eat :)

We had a wonderful weekend and totally enjoyed the Condo. It was clean, organized and we felt right at home. We most definitely would stay there again. It was perfect!! Thank you so much for allowing us to rent from you. It was nice to have a home, instead of just hotel rooms. Excellent experience.

Our stay was absolute magic. Being able to stay above our absolute favorite chocolate shop was a dream come true. There is nothing like coming off of the beach and straight into the shop to grab a frozen chocolate bar and giant cookie! Such a unique and amazing spot. Can’t recommend it enough.

Lovely place at the commons! Great space and great vibe

Beautiful accommodations. K.C. was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to accommodate us and made sure that we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be back and recommend to our friends and family.

We loved our stay! The listing was exceptionally clean and amenities were as described. We enjoyed the location and having a coffee shop and (delicious) burger joint in walkable distance was a great bonus! The view of the beach and water right off the private balcony was wonderful and having a heated pool/hot tub combo right on property made this an ideal booking for our family. We’d come back and would recommend to others!

We had a wonderful weekend stay. The condo is in a great location. Saturday morning we took an easy walk along the lakeshore to the downtown farmers market. We were able to easily walk from front street business district to the condo as well. We will definitely come back to this condo on our next visit to TC!

Jesse was a great host and we enjoyed staying at their place! We appreciated the private beach to play at and the pool was well maintained. There were plenty of food and entertainment options that Jesse recommended in their binder, and all were fantastic choices. The views were amazing from the living room/patio, and it felt very private. We couldn’t see any other guest and did not hear neighbors. It was very peaceful being on site and we could definitely see about renting the place again in the future! Jesse was a great host, communicated early and often, and made sure our stay was a pleasant one. Overall, great experience and thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home!
