Water:
•If the house hasn't been used within the last couple of weeks, you may notice a sulfur smell when you first turn on the water. That is a common issue in the area, and there is no need to be concerned. The water is not harmful in any way. We recommend running the water for 5-10 minutes when you first arrive, and that helps clear it out. To accommodate, there is bottled water available for guests to use during their stay.

Cell Phone/Internet:
•Cell phone service can be spotty depending on the provider. Free WIFI is available to guests.

Firewood:
•We do not provide firewood for the outdoor fire pit. There are places nearby along Hayes Tower road that sell wood by the bundle.

Wonderful winter wonderland!

It was a great stay at Northern Reflections! Two families of cousins came for a few days of skiing. The cabin was a great spot for everyone to stay and enjoy time together in between skiing. With all the snow, it was a bit treacherous driving to and from Boyne at times, but was an such an affordable option for our big group. The scenery was BEAUTIFUL on Lake Arrowhead. We'd love to see the lake in the summer months. Kevin was extremely responsive and great to communicate with! Thank you for having us!

Christmas and snow sports

Booked this property for family Christmas (children are all adults) so the kids could go skiing and snowboarding. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and the kitchen was well furnished. Communication regarding this property was great. All of us would love to come back in the summer to experience the beautiful lake.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Boyers

Host profile image
We are from Ohio, and love to vacation in Northern Michigan. We hope that our home can be as much of a blessing to you as it has been to us.

Why they chose this property

Lake Arrowhead is private, so it is very quiet. It's large enough to be an all-sport lake, yet it's small enough to have calm water. The community pool, parks, and pickleball court are a nice added bonus.

What makes this property unique

Our property has a great view of the lake. Surrounded by nature, it's the best place to relax! Our home works well for both small and large groups of people.
