Eastport Rental in a great location

Excellent location and very clean property. Comfortable stay. Nice access to Lake Michigan. I believe it’s a bit more of a walk to Torch Lake We were surprised to find basic cooking ingredients missing however - such as olive oil and spices other than salt and pepper. So recommend folks visit a store for these basics. Also did not find hair dryer there so recommend making sure travelers bring one.

Great Location, Clean, Comfortable

The location is extremely convenient to so many things! It is walking distance to hikes, a restaurant, a store, and 2 lakes (lake MI & Torch lake). The place was clean, with all amenities and window air conditioning units in the bedrooms. There are blackout window shades which are wonderful for the long summer days in Northern MI. There was a cute back area with a grill, fire pit, and some chairs (we didn’t use either, but it was nice that they were there).

Cottage Camping. Our grandchildren wanted us to go camping so they went camping across the street

Our Son and his family went camping across the street from our cottage at Barnes park camp grounds. Great family trip. Our cottage was great! Definitely my kind of camping. Very nice cottage. Would stay again and recommend it to friends and others.

What we were looking for!

Very clean up to date house. We were looking for a home base the explore the area. Lots of nice beaches and parks near by. Property sets a little ways off the intersection of 2 main roads. Shut the blinds and you wouldn't know it. It's a good place to stay to explore the Lake Michigan area. Very friendly and responsive host!

Perfect get away!

Our stay was just what we needed. We felt like we were home, but away from home with all its responsibilities. The cottage was very clean. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed to make meals if we wanted to. We enjoyed going to both the beautiful Torch Lake and Lake Michigan, both walking distance from the cottage. It was altogether a perfect get away for us. Although we didn’t need to call Jeff, our host, we knew he was available for any of our questions. We will definitely tell others about this opportunity.

Host profile image
My wife and I have loved Northern Michigan our entire lives. With our five boys and one girl, we've spent countless summers and winters here, making the most of everything this beautiful area has to offer as a family. Whether it's fishing, swimming, boating, golfing, skiing, or simply searching the shoreline for Petoskey Stones, we've created unforgettable memories. We're thrilled to share our cottage with guests who want to create their own special moments with loved ones.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is nestled in a truly unique location. Just a short walk away, you can spend the day on the pristine, crystal-clear waters of Torch Lake or bask in the sun on the beautiful sandy beach of Grand Traverse Bay at Barnes Park. Next door, enjoy great food, drinks, and live music at the Torch Lake Café. With so much to see and do in the area, adventure awaits. After a day of exploring, unwind in our newly remodeled cottage and gather around the backyard campfire to share memories under the stars.

What makes this property unique

Great Location!! Walk to Torch Lake or Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay! Across the street from boat launch for Torch Lake. Park your boat and trailer right at the cottage.

Two golf courses within a 10 min drive. The cottage sits between the lake towns of Charlevoix and Elk Rapids which both boast lots of great shopping.
