Holiday rentals with a kayak in Grand Traverse County

The listing was exactly as pictured, it accommodated five families very comfortably. The kids and adults enjoyed scenic views of the lake and the location of the property was accessible to grocery stores and restaurants. The host was very responsive and provided all amenities as listed, even accommodating special requests. Everyone had a great time, thank you for hosting us.

My family loved this cabin. It was one of our favorite AirBnBs. Beautiful backyard and hiking trails. Cool and funky decor. The front porch was nice to drink coffee on in the mornings. We took a peaceful canoe ride. Kitchen was supplied and everything was clearly labeled. Thank you for the stay.

Lovely quiet spot up north host was very helpful and friendly. We would stay again.

family had an amazing time and had lots of fun.

This cabin was a beautiful place for us to spend time retreating by the lake. We enjoyed going on the lake in the kayaks taking in all the wildlife and fauna around it. It was nice being away from the distractions of TV and noise. The cabin was well equipped with all we needed to enjoy our stay.

Excellent lake house. Amazing views. Great amenities including a wonderful screened in porch, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, life jackets and plenty of toys. The house was immaculately clean on our arrival and exactly as it appears in the pictures. Very friendly neighbors as well!

Fred and Jacqui’s place was perfect. The pictures really don’t show how beautiful and spacious the place is. It’s close to downtown, but also private with plenty of outdoor activities, with equipment all provided for. They were extremely responsive to all questions and reminded us of various things we could while staying. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Tracy’s cabin was the exact summer get away we were looking for. The cabin was spotless, air conditioning, and wifi, it made it possible to finish off a work day and then hitting the Lake! A ton of water amenities as well at your disposal. 10/10 would totally go back!

Responsive and hospitable, Gorgeous lake views, great accommodations, including hot tub, bicycles, kayaks, fire pit, renovated kitchen. Private and peaceful. Easy access to downtown Ell Rapids.

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful location but close enough to the city and to the peninsula to enjoy that as well. Shannon was a wonderful host and was responsive to our needs. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we hope to come back and stay again for more fun along the river!

My husband and I took our pup to this place to celebrate Thanksgiving and loved the amazing spacious kitchen! The view was incredible (even during a blizzard!) and we felt right at home. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed staying at John’s cabin, I love fishing so being on the river and so close to good fishing trails was awesome. The cabin was very clean and nice and John provided everything you need which was awesome.

Tom and Kent were fantastic hosts and the property and home itself were absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t ask for a better experience and would certainly recommend CC49 to anyone looking to stay in the area. The home was clean and comfortable, with amazing amenities. We had so much fun at the property that we hardly felt any need to go into town! Tom and Kent were more than accommodating when I asked about early check-in and Kent even brought extra kayaks without me having to ask. Overall outstanding!

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!

excellent stay for anyone wanting to be out of the way but close enough to Traverse city and other metropolitan areas to enjoy all there is to do.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Mary Lee and Harrison’s Hideaway! Our amazing mini vacay was made better by Mary Lees hospitality and fresh baked bread! I highly recommend booking this for many reasons… -Location, SO PEACEFUL, yet close to Traverse City. -Lake Leelanau speaks for itself. My son and I are early risers and used the provided kayaks to go fishing before everyone else woke up. Best memories ever for this momma. -Cabin was extremely clean, impeccably decorated and easy to navigate. -Mary Lee is readily available with any concerns or questions. 10/10!!! Thank you, Mary Lee for all the hard work you do for families like us!!!

Absolutely one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at. Lisa and her husband are amazing hosts - friendly and responsive. The cabin has wonderful touches that make it feel like a home. It was impressively well stocked, clean and with a lovely view of the water. We’ll be back for sure!

The house was perfect, very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and pots and pans. We would definitely recommend this place and will stay again if it’s available when we plan to come north.

Awesome house for a long weekend with a big group! It is about a 25-30 minute drive into Traverse City but we appreciated the peacefulness of the smaller lake and beautiful views. Gets pretty buggy at night but that is to be expected on the water in the summer. Some of the most comfortable beds our group had slept in at an Airbnb! Only thing to note that the pictures don’t really show is that the trundle bed is in a loft so will be able to hear from the living room. Pontoon boat was an awesome value add. We’d definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay here with the family! The paddleboat and kayaks were great for the water. We spent most of our time outside on the deck or pier just enjoying the quiet. The large indoor table was great for eating and games, with room for all. Great stay!

We had a terrific stay. This was a fantastic value for a lakeside retreat! The location is close enough to Traverse City but a wooded wonderland. We kayaked on the lake which is so much larger than it looks from the estuary the property is on. We saw deer & various birds. Relaxing location, coffee on the dock or deck in the morning. Smores by the fire at night. Very nice!

This is a gorgeous location. The river in the back is so calming and beautiful. We saw lots of wildlife. Everything in the home is in great condition. It was clean and roomy for my family.

Great location and great place. loved being right on the lake.
