Thumbs up!

This was my second stay at Laura's place, and it did not disappoint. The location is convenient to get to the parks, beaches, restaurants and shops of Boyne, but the street is quiet. It's a short hop to the ferry to get to Charlevoix as well. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay - the house was perfect for our family of 4 that included our teenage son and daughter each getting their own room. My husband loved having his coffee on the deck each morning, it’s an easy walk to downtown Boyne City, and a good place to launch day trips to Traverse City, Charlevoix, Torch Lake, Petoskey, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Mackinaw City. The house was very clean and well appointed, and it was great to have a washer and dryer. We’d definitely stay again.
