Hidden Gem Near Skiing
Great spot! Ten minutes to Boyne Mt. and a three-minute walk from the charming village of Walloon Lake with its shopping, beach, and restaurants. This space comes with a full kitchen and workspace. On a quiet street, it's an ideal spot for two, however, there is a sleeper in the living room to accommodate two little ones. (Another apt. next door is available for booking). Our apt. is 12 minutes from Petoskey's gaslight district or restaurants in Boyne City.
Guest access
Our apartment includes a laundry room in the middle of the building & a large parking lot in case you want to bring your boat.
Local activities are downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating (when it’s cold enough the Village has a skating pond by the Barrel Back restaurant), boating (rentals are available in the Village), golf, mountain biking, hiking, and biking trails are within a ten-minute drive. If you like upscale restaurants The Barrel Back restaurant is a memorable experience as it sits above a marina in the Village of Walloon & it’s a fun place to watch the boats.

About the host
Hosted by Heather Bentley
Getting to know people & reading are my favorite hobbies. My husband and I really enjoy Northern Michigan and it’s wonderful walking trails in the summer( a.k.a. snowshoeing trails in the winter). We have five children that love to swim, ski and keep us hopping. Our favorite restaurant is The Barrel Back found in Walloon Lake Village (just three minutes from the rental). It sits above the lake so you can watch the boats or snowmobilers come in depending on the season. I enjoy hosting the rental and hope that guests will find everything they need at the apartment and have a pleasant stay.-Heather
