The Joy of a Fireplace
A fireplace is more than just an amenity; it is the heart of a true Northern Michigan getaway. Among the most sought-after features in our Traverse City luxury rentals, a fireplace adds a layer of warmth and ambiance that transforms a simple trip into a lasting memory.
During the snowy months, there is nothing quite like returning to your rental home with a fireplace after a day of snowshoeing or skiing at Mt. Holiday. Thaw out by the crackling fire with a glass of local Pinot Noir or a hot cocoa, letting the heat soothe your tired muscles. Even in the crisp spring and autumn evenings, a gas or wood-burning fireplace provides the perfect cozy atmosphere for reading, relaxing, and reconnecting with loved ones.

Girls’ getaway
What a perfect spot for a girls’ getaway! We came from all over the state for a wedding and loved the opportunity to catch up around the dining room table, make meals together, and go out and enjoy the beautiful Leelenau wineries and the Traverse City restaurants. There was plenty of space for all 5 of us to have our own rooms. The place was beautiful, surrounded by trees and just far enough away from the road and other houses to feel like you’re truly escaping the busy world. An excellent choice for a family or a bunch of friends!

Things to Do in Traverse City
Traverse City is a four-season playground, and staying in a rental with a fireplace gives you the perfect basecamp for adventure. In the winter, the region becomes a snowy wonderland. Spend your days exploring the trails at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, skiing at Crystal Mountain, or fat-tire biking through the timberlands. Afterward, the promise of a warm fire makes the return home even sweeter.
In the warmer months, the adventure shifts to the water. Enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming in the pristine waters of Grand Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan. Explore the vibrant downtown district, packed with boutique shops and farm-to-table restaurants, or take a tour of the Old Mission Peninsula wineries to taste the region's famous vintages. No matter the season, ending your day by the fire in your private Traverse City vacation home is the ultimate luxury.

Are fireplaces in Traverse City vacation rentals wood-burning or gas?
It depends on the property. Some rentals feature traditional wood-burning fireplaces for an authentic cabin feel, while others include gas fireplaces that light with the push of a button. Each listing specifies the type.
Can we use the fireplace year-round, or is it only for winter stays?
Most fireplaces are available year-round, though guests often enjoy them most in the cooler months. In summer, you may find yourself using them for ambiance during cozy evenings indoors.
What’s the best time of year to visit Traverse City for a fireplace rental?
Fall and winter are the most popular seasons, with crisp weather perfect for enjoying a fire after a day outdoors. However, spring and summer guests also appreciate fireplaces for their warm glow on chilly nights.
Are firewood or supplies included with my rental?
If your rental has a wood-burning fireplace, some properties provide a starter bundle of firewood. Others may require guests to purchase their own locally. Gas fireplaces require no supplies and are simple to operate.
What outdoor activities pair well with a fireplace stay?
Skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hikes at Sleeping Bear Dunes are ideal for winter. In summer, boating or wine tours during the day followed by evenings by the fire make for a balanced and memorable trip.
