Boyne City Gem!

Our second time staying in this gorgeous home. As good, if not better than the photos, fantastic location, and amazing communication with owner. Will continue to rent any time we are in the area! Both times we have stayed were for a baseball tournaments, so had several other families staying around the same area. All who stopped by the house both years have been envious of the beautiful place we found to stay. 10/10 recommend!

Christmas Ski Trip

The house was nice, clean, welcoming and cozy. Well stocked with everything we needed. The area was nice. Safe cozy quiet street. Our first time in Michigan was a nice one. We were blessed with lots of snow. Had a great time on the slopes and enjoyed some shopping in Petoskey. Thanks for everything.

Perfect Spot

Our stay here was somewhat unique because we happened to be there for the awful ice storm, unfortunately. During our first night's stay, the power went out and we had to be creative with how we spent our time, as skiing was out of the question and most other activities as well. What we appreciated was the amazing communication that we had with Laura the entire time we were there. She was very responsive to any questions we had and offered suggestions on their favorite places to visit. We regained power after about 15 hours and were able to go skiing the following day. We were grateful to have a place that was clean, cozy, comfortable, and reliable in such a situation. We would be happy to come back to this place and stay here again when the weather is nicer, as there are many amazing places within walking distance!!

Fantastic place and location!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was a wonderful experience! The place was very clean, spacious, and beautiful! The location to downtown, the lake, and avalanche preserve, was only a few short blocks! Definitely would recommend this place, and we hope to stay here again in the future! Cheers!

Amazing Up North Getaway!

This house is an absolute gem…I thought it looked amazing in the pictures and was even better in-person. It was beautiful, clean, close to everything in Boyne City, and perfectly accommodated my family of 4 (kids 7 and 13) and my two in laws. Laura was easy to get ahold of and made sure we got in for early check in when we asked ahead of time. Will definitely be booking again next time we stay in the area!

Gorgeous Little Place

We loved the house! It was perfect for us. It was tastefully decorated and had all the facilities a family needs when away from home. It is in a small pretty neighborhood a few minutes from town and only 10 minutes easy drive to Boyne Mountain for skiing. Everything was super clean which is something I always look for. My only recommendation would be for some new towels and probably a few more. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for all the helpful communication as well.

1,000 steps to ice cream!

Boyne city gem! Beautiful new home, great backyard, comfortable beds and pillows. We enjoyed walking to town, playing giant connect 4 and Jenga on the back deck and reading on the front porch. Queen size bunk beds were a bonus too. Lovely house and owners were quick to respond to my couple questions. Also, my kids counted and it’s is about 1000 steps to the ice cream shops- a definite must!

Wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Boyne! In good weather you could easily walk downtown and to the lake. It is also centrally located for day trips in that area. The house was perfect. Very clean and comfortable in every way. The owner was quick to reply when we had questions and the kids loved the s’mores kit they left for us! If you go during off season just keep in mind restaurants and businesses either close a couple days a week or are closed for good until spring/summer. Good to call ahead for things you might want to do. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!

Amazing home, host and town!

This was our first trip to Michigan. We wanted to stay somewhere that allowed us to explore many different areas including Charlevoix, Traverse, etc. We are so glad we stayed in this home. It was so very clean and simply adorable. Boyne City was wonderful offering plenty of restaurants, beaches, shops, boat rentals, and activities. There are parks all around and we felt safe day and night. The home is located within walking distance to the beach and downtown. The SkyBridge at Boyne Mountain is 10 minutes away, Charlevoix is a 25 minute drive away. Boyne Mountain has lots of activities including pickleball courts and a very nice indoor water park and is just 10 minutes from the home. We drove an hour to Mackinac for one day and also made it to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We hope to visit this same home in the fall/winter. The hosts were so kind, easy to communicate with. I tend to have high expectations and this property exceeding them all! Travelled with 4 kids( ages 14-7). They loved the accommodations as well.
