Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Otsego County

The family had a relaxing long weekend following Christmas. The house comfortably fit all six of us. Very welcoming kitchen for plenty of meals and games. The area was great, we enjoyed skiing, tube sledding, the elk park, and bowling. Many grocery and restaurant options in the area also. Definitely recommend.

my family has had an extended stay at lisas home throughout an unexpected event in our lives. Lisa has been extremely communicative, helpful, and gracious. we have never felt more welcome especially in a time of need. we so appreciate Lisa and her wonderful home. Beautiful surroundings to distress are an added bonus.

We enjoyed our stay at Chad and Nikki’s place. Felt like home, spacious and plenty to do. We will definitely stay with them again. We had a slight issue with the internet, Hosts responded quickly and the issues was resolved in minutes. Amazing decor!

My husband said to put it on the top of re-rent list, highly suggest! The house is rustic in the perfect up north vibes kinda way while keeping all the nice amententies of home. There was plenty of space inside and out.The little lake and view from the deck are beautiful! The privacy and large yard give plenty to do even on somewhat rainy cloudy days, we had fires, kayaked, hiked. We went to the community pool on a nice hot day, the pool was nicely heated, clean and had a great view. It was also connected to a bar and grill that brings cocktails and food to you. We grilled and ate like kings and it was so nice to have the stocked kitchen and grill, the ice maker was a perfect touch and the variety of ways to make coffee and or tea were so thoughtful. We are already talking about when we could go again! Thank you for the wonderful mini vacation❤️

Everything was perfect. Home looked as presented in the photos; it was extremely clean. Fully stocked with items that were needed. Very responsive and pleasant host. Thanks Brett

Lovey home. Beautiful location. Very clean. Amply stocked. Great communication. For those who have problems with many stairs…. This is NOT a good fit. There are twenty steps each time you enter or leave the home. Outside there are more stairs to move to the lower level.

Absolutely fantastic! Our recent Airbnb stay was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we checked in, the process was easy and a breeze. The place was squeaky clean and spotless upon arrival, which immediately put us at ease. We really appreciated the nice touches like the provided amenities, and the fireplace added such a cozy ambiance to our evenings. The privacy of the location was also a huge plus. We truly felt like we had a peaceful and relaxing retreat. We'll most definitely book this place again the next time we're in the area!

The place was great for our family getaway. It was clean and cozy, plenty of towels and blankets to make you feel at home. The kitchen had all of the essentials and some additional items as well. The smart TVs made it easy to watch our favorites during our down time, but our favorite features were the air hockey table and the hot tub! The hosts were great communicators, quick responses and helpful with our requests too. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in Gaylord.

We really enjoyed staying at Fawn’s place!! This was a top tier place! She thought of everything and provided so many extras like snacks, an assortment of drinks and even chocolates on the pillows. The decor was very well done and it was so clean and comfortable. It was a great spot to stay as we explored some of north Michigan. We slept well and the surroundings were very peaceful and quiet. We would stay here again without any hesitation. Fawn was quick to answer questions and help in any way. We enjoyed staying here very much!!

Very nice little place to stay. Peaceful, quiet, clean, and great location for exploring the beautiful north.

We enjoyed our stay while in town to ski. Easy walking distance to restaurants for a person that enjoys walking, even in the cold. Thanks for letting us stay in your cute airbnb!! Don and Jill

We had a great stay for a winter ski trip. 20 min to Boyne highlands. Airbnb itself is very well stocked and well maintained. Host was responsive. One thing to keep in mind is there is a steep staircase to get to the unit that I imagine may not be suitable for all.

Great stay at Brenda's place, it was my girlfriend's birthday and she left some decorations as well as a hand written card! Very sweet, 10/10 recommend

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

This was the quiet, comfortable space we wanted for our short getaway. Beautifully and simply furnished, spacious, walkable to shops and restaurants in Harbor Springs, and just a short drive to Petoskey. Highly recommend Jordan's place for your visit to Harbor Springs.

My 4 kids, husband and I have been coming to Shanty creek resorts for over 10 years. This is the first time we stayed somewhere other than the resort hotels. We enjoyed we were able to bring our dog on this trip, we had a kitchenette, and we did more in the area because we had to drive ourselves. This gave us a chance to explore and save more money. By staying in a place more reasonable than the hotel and we were able to cook ourselves and didn't have the added expense of a dog sitter. 4girls sharing one bathroom worked out better than I thought. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you The Ramsey family

It was better than expected. The place was clean, amenities were thoughtful. Everything we needed was there. The host definitely had the guests best interest in mind. . Very pleased. 5 star host for sure.

The property at Boyne is a classic and has maintained a warm place in our memories which we have returned to decades ago after decades. There is history and seasoning in everything which has traveled and joined in our time and hopes every time we attend.

There’s something magical about Shanty Creek. It’s our little escape each year, and this visit was just what we needed. Mornings with coffee, evenings with sunsets—those peaceful balcony views never get old. The space is cozy, calm, and always feels like a gentle pause from the world. It gave us room to breathe, rest, and just be. Cheryl was a fantastic host who communicated with perfect detail and the space was our perfect getaway. We are already dreaming of next year’s visit!

Great place with a beautiful view!

We had a great weekend. Space worked out perfectly and we were able to use the kayaks. They had everything you could want and more.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place and was exactly as described- beautiful lake view/sunsets, well-equipped, comfortable beds, and great layout for multi-family (a plus I could bring my pup along)! It was a perfect centralized location to the activities we had planned for Memorial Day weekend (1 hr to Mackinaw City, 1 hr to Traverse City, 10 minutes to Boyne City, 30 minutes to Charlevoix and Petoskey). Elizabeth was very responsive and ensured check-in/check-out went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Nick was great, so was the property. Friendly host and amenities were plentiful.

We had a lovely stay at this condo. It is located on a beautiful lake of which the living room has a gorgeous view. Access to kayaks and a fire pit were a very nice bonus! The property was clean and comfortable. Communication about our stay was great. Highly recommend!
