I would stay here again!
This roomy home provides amenities galore! Great sunrise/sunset views over the lake. And the wide shallow shoreline made it especially safe for the children to have endless play. Yes, could pay more attention to detail especially for us summer visitors i.e. a clean grill and deck floor. Although our visit was a summer vacation, I can envision it a great group ski trip stay! Thanks Karen:)

What a view!
Pros: -The best view we have ever had renting VRBO -One of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes -The communication was prompt -A five minute drive to town. -Easily slept 12 people -Lots of games -Bird seed so that you can enjoy the birds -Most of the beds were comfortable -Have most of what is needed in the kitchen -Dishwasher -As long as the outside temperature stays below 90° the house stays pretty comfortable -Plenty of towels -Family room and living room and dining area -Nice large gas grill connected to a gas line -Two basketball hooping the water Cons: -Wasn’t the cleanest -Lots of spiders but you are up north -The deck is slippery when when wet but I think it is because the desk needs to be power washed -The house is in need of repairs -The two twin mattresses were extremely uncomfortable -The well water was very rusty and eggy and went out for about 15 minutes* -Inside the fridge the condensation builds up and drains but they do keep two bowls in the back to collect water -No central air -There is a ‘junk’ spot partially fenced off near were the garbage cans are stored. It looks like a collection of odds and ends from a remodel or something. -King bed takes up most of the room and there are not night stands. *When the well went out we reached out to Karen and she let us know it could’ve been that too much water was ran and to wait about 10 minutes. The water pressure came back after about 15 minutes.

Location Location!
This was the perfect location for a long weekend of skiing at Boyne. The view from the cabin and wood burning fire places were a major plus. The house was clean and well stocked. We were comfortable with sleeping arrangements but the other furniture, mainly couches, could definitely use an upgrade.

Nice place on Deer Lake
This place perfect for our visit to the area. Very close to everything. The cottage was all we had expected, we were not surprised by spiders or a tree droppings here or there, that's nature...just like the goose poop on the dock. The house is a bit dated but clean and the water worked good. All the kitchen items were right where you might expect them and we had everything we needed. They even had some starting timber to get a fire started. So nice to sit by the fire-lake-stars. Thank you Karen and Family again for everything, Andy & Renee :)

About the host

Hosted by Karen O'Keefe

Host profile image
Our family lives full time in downtown Plymouth, Michigan. We love our getaway in Boyne during the winter months and summer. We try to get up 1-2 times per month and rent the other week-ends. Our two boys grew up skiing in the winter and wake-boarding in the summer.

Why they chose this property

Sunsets on the lake are spectacular.. and then come the stars! We have a big bonfire pit with log benches.. We provide kayaks, a rowboat and a canoe for your lake pleasure. Lots of swimming, fishing and good old fashion lake fun!! We are close to wineries for fall wine tours as well.

For winter sports enthusiasts we are 5 minutes from Boyne Mountain Ski Resort for skiing, skating, tubing, cross country skiing and more!

What makes this property unique

We are a five minute drive to the main ski lift at Boyne Mountain, Avalanche Bay and the Boyne Mountain Grand and all it's amenities. The cottage is situated in a beautiful peaceful setting while being 20 minutes from Petoskey and or Gaylord for shopping... 24 hours Meijer's ... and less than 10 minutes from downtown Boyne City.

Our stocked kitchen makes cooking your meals easy !
