Love staying here enjoy the location to be able to hike out to Mackinac Island, and other places. Plenty of space for all very comfortable love the open kitchen and dining area would definitely stay here again. My kids really enjoyed the pool and had a great time.

This was a beautiful place! Perfect for our gathering of 18 adults! Plenty of room - firepit with ample seating and the pool was so fun! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and had lots of space to put away our groceries!
Both game rooms were a hit and this spot would be perfect for any family or adult gathering! Will look into booking again in a winter month!

This was the perfect spot to gather with our children and grandchildren. We enjoyed day trips to nearby beaches, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor, wineries and breweries and most of us participated in a memorable well-organized bike ride from Traverse City to Suttons Bay. The rental is next door to an art center that happened to be hosting a plein air watercolor exhibit during our stay so we had the opportunity to purchase a painting of one of our favorite beaches. We very much enjoyed daily visits to Barb’s Bakery around the corner and the ice cream stand in the village center, morning yoga in the gazebo and the weekend farmers market. Our first-grader was granted a library card good for two years and can’t wait to return. The house layout was ideal; my daughter-in-law worked from the charming study on the first floor while the toddler napped on the third floor and the rest of us played games at the dining room table on the main floor. The spacious laundry room was much appreciated.

Had a fantastic week in Northport staying at the Mariner. The location is perfect, walking distance to shops, restaurants, beaches and marina. There is plenty of space and beds for all. And the large, private outdoor space with hot tub and firepit are an added bonus. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Fantastic house in an even better location. The grocery store is just down the road yet the house is secluded and peaceful, making you feel more up north that ever before. So many fun things to do at this home which our group was thankful for. Great house!

I’ve stayed at many Air BnBs over the years but I’ve never been more excited to write a review! Frank was a wonderful host. The home accommodated our four families seamlessly; cozy beds, plenty of seating and tableware… and a warm pool! We had 8 kiddos with us and they all loved (and basically never left) the game room. Our smallest ones enjoyed the swings and sandbox outside. We gathered around the fire pit a nighttime… eating s’mores and enjoying deep belly-laughs! Frank was amazing and super responsive - helping us navigate a few tricky situations, keeping our experience wonderful and on track. We are already planning the next “annual” trip at what now feels like home away from home.

We truly loved our stay at this Airbnb in the beautiful village of Northport! The location is fantastic — super short walk to the marina, restaurants, and shops. This house has a great layout for comfort and privacy. With 4 floors of bedrooms, it’s perfect for families or groups, giving everyone their own space.
The beds were very comfortable, with bedside lamps, convenient places to charge phones, and plenty of room to hang clothes and store luggage.
The living area was great for hanging out together…cozy sofas, open layout with the dining area and kitchen. Kitchen is wonderfully equipped! So simple and easy to prepare meals there. The large laundry room was also really great for easy clean up after beach days.
There were so many little touches that made our stay extra comfortable — lots of hooks in the bathrooms, plenty of pillows and blankets, excellent appliances. Check-in/out were easy and the hosts were outstanding communicators from start to finish! Can’t wait to return!

The Northway was perfect for our group of 14. The house is beautiful (exactly as pictured), clean and is stocked with everything you need and then some (no need to bring items such as toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, pool towels, etc.)! We made use of all it had to offer and thoroughly enjoyed the pool, game room, pool table/shuffleboard and fire pit! We even stayed in and cooked one evening and found the kitchen to be stocked with all we needed to prepare our meal. The house is conveniently located 5-minutes or less from Meijer and about an hour from two areas we enjoyed visiting, Traverse City and Mackinac Island. Frank is an incredibly responsive host and I appreciated his willingness to answer all of my questions. 10/10 recommend and would definitely stay again (and again)! Thank you, Frank and Janae! :)

Frank was the best host. He was happy to host my rather large group of golfers. The house is fantastic. It offers so many things to do from video games to pool and shuffle pluck…Plus the house has an indoor pool. From Frank’s first welcome video to his follow up, the experience was phenomenal. I highly recommend you stay here for a golf or ski weekend.

Our group really enjoyed spending the weekend at Franks place! It was secluded, peaceful, and had tons of space for activities and games. The house itself was extremely comfortable and was accommodating for the amount of people we had staying. Also, it was very close to golf courses, grocery stores, and other restaurants in the Gaylord area. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
