Overview
We provide exceptional and affordable vacation rentals and vacation rental management services throughout all of northern Michigan.
Our Philosophy
Live. Love. Bless. This is our motto for how we market and manage vacation rental properties based upon our Christian faith. We truly care about our guests as well as the vacation property owners that we serve and we desire to provide all of our guests and clients with a wonderful experience that is truly a blessing to them. We are imperfect people, but, thanks to God, our approach to vacation rentals has produced overwhelmingly positive reviews from guests on this site (as well as others) and we have experienced a very high level of success in marketing and managing vacation rentals for the vacation property owners that we serve. We offer a nice range of vacation rentals and, whether a vacation rental is humble in nature or quite luxurious, we work to provide our guests with a clean and comforable vacation home at a good and fair price. We also are continually working to expand our vacation property offerings and to improve our execution in terms of marketing and managing vacation rental properties.
We strive to manage our business in a manner that is consistent with our Christian faith. To this end, we provide 10% of all company profits to Christian charities and organizations. In particular, a significant portion of our charitable donations go to New Covenant Christian Academy, a Christian school for northwestern Michigan. Through this funding, we help support scholarship funds to help lower income students attend the school and we also help support the on-going operation of the school.

Services for Travelers
At present, we market and manage eight vacation rental properties in northern Michigan. (We also own another vacation rental house, The Restoration Cottage, which is currently undergoing additional renovations.) All of our vacation rental houses are very family-friendly and all of our vacation homes are pet-friendly as well! Two of these vacation rental properties are in Frankfort, Michigan, two of the vacation rentals are located in Beulah, Michigan next to Crystal Lake, one of the vacation rental homes is located Elberta, Michigan (which is just across Betsie Lake from Frankfort), one is located in Honor, Michigan on Little Platte Lake (just a short distance from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore), one vacation rental property is in Kaleva, Michigan on Bear Creek., and our eighth vacation rental property is a little fairy tale cottage in Charlevoix, Michigan that is one of the famous "mushroom houses" created by the widly creative American architect Earl Young. A map of our vacation rental properties is provided further down on this page. Six of our vacation rental properties are located in Benzie County, which is a small county on Lake Michigan in the beautiful northwestern corner of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Our seventh property, The Bear Creek Chalet, is located in Manistee County, which is also on Lake Michigan and is directly south of Benzie County. Our eighth vacation rental property, Abide, is located in Charlevoix County, which is also on Lake Michigan.
In addition to Lake Michigan, beaches, Crystal Lake, Crystal Mountain, and numerous restaurants and shops in the area, northwest Michigan is the home of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Traverse City, which is the main tourist, commercial, and entertainment hub in all of northern Michigan. In addition to vacation travel, we also offer our properties for faith-related, business, and educational purposes and we have been blessed to host a number of church groups, university groups, special interest groups, and individuals and groups needing lodging while doing business in the area.
We provide on-line booking for our vacation rental properties on this site. We also have a nice search tool on this site to help potential guests find rental properties that are available for the dates they are interested in. We invite you to use this search tool, check out the vacation properties on this site, and use our on-line booking capabilities to book a rental property. Or, if you would prefer, feel free to call us anytime at (231) 383-1180 with questions regarding any of the properties that are shown on this site or to book a rental property over the phone. At the bottom of this page is a master calendar that shows all of our vacation properties and their current availability.
We market our vacation rental properties all over the internet on 40+ websites, but our prices are generally the least expensive on this site. We also love to help couples and families celebrate significant events (birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, engagements, Valentine's Day, other holidays, etc.) and one of the special features of our on-line booking functionality on this site is that "special options" (such as roses, a bottle of champagne or wine, candlelight arrivals, etc.) can be added on to a reservation with just a click of a button.
