Sometimes you need more space than what you can get in a standard hotel room or suite, especially for larger gatherings or extended stays. When these trips arise, it’s time to check out one of the many vacation rental options with all the amenities of home (and then some). Firefl y Resort in Union Pier offers 18 quaint one-and two-bedroom cottages in the heart of the region’s Harbor Country ® . First founded in the 1930s, the property is rich in history and charm, complete with stocked kitchens, bedding, full baths, and more (like basic cable and internet access). Step back in time at Ellis Lake Resort in Grawn, just a short drive from the world famous Interlochen Arts Academy and the town of Traverse City. These authentic cabins look like they’re made of Lincoln Logs, giving a true “Up North” experience. Ellis Lake Resort is open year round and some cabins are even dog friendly. Drummond Island Resort located in northern Lake Huron boasts 16 rustic log cabins as well as 40 hotel style rooms. The largest of the cabins – the East Wing 5 Bedroom – can accommodate up to 18 people. The year round resort offers world-class golf, kayaking, biking, tennis, skeet shooting, and so much more across its 2000-acre property.

Vacation Rental Tips: • M ake a wish list of your perfect rental before you start looking. Do you want to have a hot tub? Be on the beach? These will help you narrow your search for your ideal rental. • Confirm before you pack what items are included, and what you’ll need to provide. Things like bed linens may or may not be included. • Ask your host for local recommendations! They’re the expert on the area, and can point you towards some of the best places to eat, visit, and explore.
