My family of four and another family of four stayed at this home for a long weekend. We had a wonderful time. The house is just as it appears in the photos -- it is charming and clean. The first floor kitchen and dining area are beautiful. (The kitchen is well-stocked with staples) The dining table easily accommodated our party of eight and overlooks the backyard, which allowed the kids to go outside to play after dinner and the adults to enjoy after-dinner conversation while keeping an eye on the kids. The home also has two little league fields a stone's throw away from the backyard -- they seemed not to be in use over the summer, so we enjoyed playing ball on "real" fields. The home is an easy walk to downtown Boyne City, a charming town that is peaceful and quaint. There are several good restaurants and ice cream shops. The home is a short drive to Young State Park, which far exceeded our expectations. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. The only drawback to the home is its lack of air conditioning, but the owner informed me she intends to add window units to the bedrooms next summer. Our visit happened to coincide with an intense heat wave; I think the area generally cools down more at night than it did during our stay. I hope to have a return visit next year!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

My family of 5 stayed with my brother's family of 5 and our parents. We had plenty of room in the house. Two kitchens made it extra convenient. It's perfectly located to walk to town or parks. The house was clean and very welcoming. In fact, it'll be welcoming us all back again this summer!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location – a wonderful place to stay for a variety of activities. We were there to (road) bike some hills and were able to just jump on our bikes and get started. It is also a quick and convenient walk into town or the park by the lake. Afterward we found the house a very pleasant place to sit around and talk about our experiences of the day. The upstairs living room has a cathedral ceiling and a wall of windows looking out onto a pleasant tree lined street, making it very inviting. But – we found ourselves sitting around the big table off the kitchen, drinking coffee / tea and talking. Our only regret is that with all the activities to do in the area, we did not have much time to spend in such a beautiful house.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Our family (4 extended families) enjoyed this spacious and comfortable home. It was great to have two living areas so some of us could watch tv in one living room while others visited in another room. The first floor kitchen was great for hanging out while preparing meals. Our family LOVED being close to town so we could walk to the park, etc. We also enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement. This rental is quite beautiful and comfortable and great for a large family or families.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1999
About the owner: My husband and I and our three daughters have spent many special times at this cottage. We have always been skiers and our girls have developed into serious ski racers. We now spend every weekend here during the ski season and ski at Boyne Mountain when we are not traveling to nearby ski resorts for scheduled races.
Why the Owner Chose Boyne City:
We have always loved the close knit community and laid back character of Boyne City. The people are real and the town takes you back to a simpler time when family spent meals and evenings together enjoying one anothers company. We first owned a smaller cottage directly across the street and purchased this one when our family got too big for the one bathroom and two burner stove. We have loved having the two living spaces for friends and family. Everyone is comfortable because they have their own space and conveniences.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
We have spent nearly every New Year's Eve at this cottage creating memories that will last forever. We live on Lake Erie in Ontario in the summer and are not able to enjoy Boyne City in the summer at it's best. That's why we are happy to share this special home with others who will hopefully fall in love with Boyne City like we have and want to return year after year to continue cherished family ties at a slower pace.
