“This is by far the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Rex and Lynnette go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable! The Airbnb is immaculate and tranquil. They are always available to give references, directions, or recommendations. The access to the lake is so easy to get to, and the serene environment is peaceful and relaxing. Kayaking the lake is a bonus to this Airbnb. Everything you want and need is provided. As for the picture, they do not do justice to the incredible space. I found this AirBNB by Googling “Best AirBNB in Michigan,” which popped up as number 1. It is not a surprise; it is perfect for couples to have a getaway and a wonderful time away from the hustle and bustle of life. Close to Midland, Clare, and Mount Pleasant. There are fantastic walking and bike trails nearby. The Up North Coffee shop is an incredible stop. We can’t wait to stay again. Book this AirBNB! You will not regret it!”

“The Yellow Door Lodge was an amazing and beautiful weekend getaway. The short walk to the water is worth it with the kayaks and view of the lake. Perfect way to spend a weekend. Everything was amazing. Thank you very much!!!

“I couldn't recommend this place enough! By far one of my favorite stays. Lynnette and Rex are wonderful hosts, very down to earth and friendly and it shows through their rental that they care about their renters stay. They made their place very comfortable and cozy and thought of everything to the little details to make it enjoyable, and they have impeccable taste I must say. Their cute dock is the perfect spot to do some fishing. 100/10 definitely worth the visit. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful home ♡”
Marissa
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Yellow Door Lodge! Communication from the hosts was proactive, friendly and detailed. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The cabin itself was immaculately clean, and tastefully decorated. The hosts left thoughtful amenities to make your stay more convenient and enjoyable. If you are a coffee lover like we are, you'll also adore all of the options for coffee as well. Loved it! Thank you for the great experience!”
Gabrielle
“Absolutely everything we could’ve hoped for and more! The coziest house you’ll ever find on air bnb. A beautiful area, quaint town, lots to do, lots to see, but you’ll want to stay in the beautiful cabin probably bc it’s just so nice and homey, AND has everything you want or need. Wonderful cooking ware, pristine conditions, darts, cornhole, endless games, fully stocked coffee bar AND tea, a fire pit, firewood, s’mores, I mean what don’t they have. The hosts are the best people ever, truly so nice to talk to, very responsive, helpful, genuine, and just lovely. If the pictures, amenities, and other reviews don’t convince you, then you’re just missing out. We can’t wait to come back and make more memories at this place. Thank you Rex and Lynette!”
Madison
“The Yellow Door Lodge exceeded my expectations. Well stocked with anything you could need… I even made chocolate chip cookies!” We really enjoyed spending time at the lake with our dog. We LOVED the Merry Hearted Cidery and ended every night with a campfire. Thank you so much for being so kind and hospitable. We love this lodge and it’s coffee and tea selection.”

Travis
“Such a beautiful cabin!! It is evident how much thought and effort were put into every detail of the space!! The interior is cozy and luxurious at the same time! And the amenities were amazing. Outdoors there is such an adorable game courtyard and firepit area. Our family had an incredible time and highly recommend!!”
Melanie
“The cabin was absolutely adorable. They thought it out down to the fine details. Being welcomed in with good taste in music and an adorable gift basket was the cherry on top! You can tell they care about their guests experiences. Kayaking on the Ausable river and visiting Higgens and Houghton lake was great. Fishing off their dock is always a great time, too. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy get-a-way with with outdoorsy stuff to do. You guys are doing amazing and hope to meet you again at your cute Airbnb. Thank you for your hospitality!”

“The Yellow Door Lodge has it all and we will definitely be back for another weekend getaway. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with the coziest setting - a fireplace, nice music playing, beautifully decorated space, and completely spotless - we immediately felt at home and ready for a relaxing weekend. Rex and Lynnette really thought of everything and went above and beyond any other Airbnb host we’ve ever experienced. The coffee and tea selection, dog bowls, stuff to make s’mores, firewood, are just a few of the items they had available for us. All we had to do was show up— it was absolutely wonderful!”
Chelsea
“My boyfriend and I had a great stay at the YDL. It was extremely cozy; the weather is starting to turn in MI so we loved keeping the fireplace going. We worked remote and the WiFi speed was perfect for the two of us. We tried Momma Cillies, Trails End, and Up North Coffee - all in which we throughly enjoyed! Rex and Lynnette are hands down some of the best hosts I’ve ever experienced. They are helpful and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and stay at the cabin they’re working on next door. Thank you Rex and Lynnette for an AMAZING stay and experience! Airbnb needs more hosts like you!”
Hailey
“My husband, our dog, and I absolutely loved our stayed at the Yellow Door Lodge! It was a perfect getaway for our little family to relax and re-connect. The YDL was the cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in, and the thoughtful decorative touches made it feel like we were staying at a luxury hotel. It has everything you could need!
It is clear that Rex and Lynette truly care about their space and go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. When we arrived after a few hours of driving, we were greeted by relaxing jazz music, a crackling (electric) fireplace, and a welcome basket with snacks. It was such a nice way to set the tone for our time away.
We especially loved our time outdoors at the YDL, playing darts, sitting by the fire, or enjoying beautiful fall evenings under the trees playing cards at the picnic table.
Rex and Lynette were friendly and gracious hosts, provided detailed information before check-in, and were always just a quick message away if we had any questions.”

“This was our second weekend in a row at the Yellow Door Lodge...and we just love it!!!! We couldn't have had a more relaxing fun stay !!! Our hosts are wonderful and they are there if you need them & always respond quickly. The cottage is immaculately kept, decorated and very very neat & clean. We enjoyed the bonfire and the cornhole especially.. Along with the kayaks that we used during the day. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a relaxing beautiful special place to get away !! We really really enjoyed it !! Thank you Rex & Lynnette !!! 🙂”
Tracy
“This place is such a vibe! The cutest little cabin we’ve stayed in yet as the cabin looks like a page taken out of the Magnolia magazine. Insta worthy for sure! You’ll be hard pressed to find another BNB with better hosts and more amenities than this one offers. Everything you need is available plus extras! We enjoyed using the air fryer for snacks and reheating our Momma Cillie’s pizza. The coffee bar offered so many delicious options. If you’re a coffee snob like us, you’ll love it! Although we didn’t utilize the hosts private dock on the lake, it was nice knowing we had that option if we wanted. Everything you need is just a 3 minute drive into town. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back!”
James
“You guys thought of everything. The attention to every detail, plus the quality of everything being so nice which really makes a HUGE difference. I mean even the towels were heavenly. BTW, where did you guys get those pillows? (lol, most comfortable pillows I’ve ever used!) I felt so comfortable and cozy the entire time”

“Thank you for an amazing weekend! The place is beautiful!”
