Top South Branch Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

Cozy Chalet in the Heart of Northern Michigan

10/10 Excellent

"Very responsive host. Easy check in. House was spotless. Cleanest and most thoughtfully designed rental house we have ever stayed in. Clear instructions. Light switches labeled. Private but house is close to the road which did not bother us. Biking, hiking and local attraction magazines were very helpful. Overall: A!"

Shadowland River Lodge on Boardman River - Pet Friendly - Acreage - Private

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time staying at Shadowland and it did not disappoint. It’s a very special place and I hope we get a chance to go back. Jason and Nicole met us there and walked us through the property which was a nice touch. Wonderful people! The property was better than expected. Everything was very clean and they really had everything you would need and more. The only challenging part was the one bathroom. With a family of five it was little challenging at times having only one toilet. Overall it was a great time at shadowland. We definitely will be back."

Waterfront, boats included, Cozy cabin on private lake, 25 minutes from TC.

10/10 Excellent

"A very beautiful place to stay. The place was sealed air tight and I’ve never been up north in a cabin where the bugs didn’t come inside but this place was the first! Wonderful everything and the lake is really quiet and peaceful and gorgeous. A little slice of heaven. Good appliances and wonderful kitchen and even central AC. Amazing! You are about a good 35 minutes from TC, but nearby Fife Lake is very cute !"

New! Spider Lake| Hot Tub| Sauna| Beach| No Bunks|

8/10 Good

"Good property for our bachelor party weekend. Plenty of space for 8 people, although parking is poor. Allowing boats/trailers to park by the road, cuts down on available spots for the back unit guests. Could do better there. Overall, satisfied with our stay."

Cozy Family and Pet-Friendly Cabin Near Fife Lake, 5-minute drive. Camp fire

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin was so incredibly cute. We stayed up there for an extended weekend as a family of 4. My kids loved the cabin and the woods around it. You could tell there was a lot of love that went into that place. It was 2 miles from Fife Lake, which was beautiful. Cute places to eat and explore."

Waterfront! Quiet, Spacious, Serene Retreat Located in a Private Wooded Setting

10/10 Excellent

"A great option for our family getaway. We loved the secluded feel of the property and the opportunities for relaxation & fun with the lake and trails. House is well kept and each of us thought it was better than photos did it justice. Grocery and food options are nearby and Traverse City is only about 30 minutes if you’re looking for more action. We all had a great time although I think the dogs may have enjoyed it the most!"

Rennie Lake Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 4 rented this location for a quick 3 night stay and really enjoyed it. The cottage is spread out a bit with the bedrooms, and the kitchen is large, so we didn't feel on top of each other. There is a large hill down to the water, which didn't negatively affect our stay, but might if mobility is an issue. Rennie lake is nice, but a little mucky with algae at the waterfront. We rented the kayaks for a day and enjoyed cruising around Rennie lake. Everything was clean, and the air conditioner worked very well (temps were 90 in lower Michigan, and this was a large concern for us). Thank you for the great stay,"

Welcome to Serenity Shores! 🌅 Soak in the private hot tub, unwind by the fire pit 🔥, and savor calming lake views. Pet-friendly 🐾 and perfect for recharging, exploring, and making memories.

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin was super clean and very well decorated. Landscaping was well maintained and looked beautiful by the lake. Host let us check in early since we were in the area which was very kind of them! Quiet area, a little noise from the main road but nothing crazy or too noticeable. Hot tub was great, perfect temperature and clean. Plenty of blankets and towels for guests. Would absolutely stay here again, short drive to traverse city which is what we came for. Host was also very quick with response time."
