Vacation Rentals Michigan are amazing getaways that will make you the hero of your Michigan family vacation! 

See why renting a house, not a hotel, will help you not only survive, but actually enjoy your next Michigan vacation!

Why rent a small hotel room when you can spread out in a whole house?  When everyone can have their own space, just like at home, everything goes smoother.  

Vacation Rentals Michigan is an awesome solution for vacationing in Michigan while having room to stretch your legs. 

Fortunately, Michigan is one of the best locations for renting vacation homes!  With thousands of miles of lake shore, you can stay right on a lake with your own private beach!

The Smart Choice is the Best Choice


Chris and I have really fallen in love with Vacation Rentals Michigan.  Since staying over 375 days in hotels in the past 4 years, we have had more than our share of bad experiences. 

We were ready for a change!  The reasons why we love vacation rentals are simple.

  • Bring your friends and split the cost
  • More scenic locations
  • Waterfront views
  • Proximity to popular Michigan Landmarks

I'm simply giddy to start planning a trip to Mackinac Island this spring! We pack our bikes, snacks and rock out the day! . The Mackinac Island Lilac Festival is coming up June 7 through 16, 2019. This pretty festival is a 10-day celebration that is the first and largest summer event on the Island! I'm trying to talk Chris into visiting during this festival! . I've compiled the "Ultimate Mackinac Island Guide to Everything" if you are planning on visiting the island this year. It has hotels, restaurants, things to do, transportation, photos, hidden spots and so much more! Check it out in my bio! . . . #mackinacisland #mackinacislandfudge #mackinacislandlife #mackinac #Michigan #puremichigan #greatlakesstate #travelingmichigan #michiganders #mittensmitten #michiganaddict #onlyinmichigan #mittenlove #thingstodoinmichigan #michiganoverboard #michigan_wanderlust #capuringmichigan #michiganphotographer #carriages #fudge #michiganislands #exploremichigan @mackinacisle
