Very nice place, great location, great for ski trip

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jan 2026
Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. I’m really glad to hear you found it a very nice place in a great location and that it worked well for your ski trip. That combination of comfort and easy access to the slopes is exactly what we hope guests experience. We truly appreciate you choosing this condo and would be happy to welcome you back for another ski getaway or a visit in a different season.
We had an amazing time in downtown Boyne City! We spent the day skiing and then came back to such a fun, lively downtown filled with great restaurants and pubs—the perfect way to wrap up a day on the slopes.The condo was right on Lake Charlevoix with a beautiful view that made mornings and evenings extra special. It was spotless, cozy, and comfortably slept four of us without feeling crowded. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for making a few meals in, which we really appreciated. Plus, you can’t beat the location—walking distance to so many shops and restaurants made everything so convenient.The staff was courteous and welcoming, the price was very reasonable, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. And don’t skip brunch at Café Santé—it’s a must!Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning again soon.

We’re so pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience with our friendly and helpful staff, great accommodations, and the beautiful Northern Michigan weather. Feedback like yours perfectly reflects what makes Water Street Inn such a special place to stay in downtown Boyne City on the shores of Lake Charlevoix.
Unit 208, like all of our individually owned lakefront condominiums, is designed to provide guests with comfort, convenience, and relaxation. The condo features a private balcony with west-facing views, perfect for enjoying the sparkling waters of Lake Charlevoix and some of the region’s most breathtaking sunsets. Guests often remark on how soothing it is to listen to the waves roll in, making the setting peaceful and serene.
We’re also thrilled that you appreciated the hospitality of our staff. Our front desk team is committed to making every guest feel welcome and well cared for, offering everything from smooth check-in and checkout processes to local recommendations for dining, shopping, and activities. It’s wonderful to know their service added to your stay.
The location of Water Street Inn is another highlight. Just steps from downtown Boyne City, guests can walk to restaurants, boutique shops, coffeehouses, and the marina. Combined with the private sandy beach reserved exclusively for our guests, the property offers the perfect blend of convenience and lakefront tranquility.
Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending Water Street Inn 208. We’re delighted that your experience was so enjoyable and hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing stay in beautiful Northern Michigan.

Thank you for your glowing review of Water Street Inn 208! We’re thrilled to hear that you LOVED EVERY MINUTE of your stay. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the beautiful views from the condo, as well as the welcoming and comfortable atmosphere we strive to provide.
We’re equally happy to hear that our team made a positive impression on you. Having “nice people” to welcome and assist guests is something we pride ourselves on at Water Street Inn, and it means so much that you noticed and appreciated it.

Nice condo, needs a bathroom renovation, get rid of the tub. Furniture is very cheap and uncomfortable, patio chairs are old and falling apart.

We’re glad to hear that you found the condo nice overall and appreciate your honest comments about areas that could use improvement. Guest input like yours is invaluable, as it helps us ensure that every stay at our lakefront condominium hotel continues to meet the high standards our visitors expect.
We’re pleased that you enjoyed the prime location of Water Street Inn on the shores of Lake Charlevoix. Guests love how each unit offers a private balcony or patio overlooking the water, allowing them to take in Northern Michigan’s stunning sunsets and relaxing lake views, all while being just steps from our private sandy beach and a short walk to downtown Boyne City’s restaurants, boutique shops, and coffeehouses.
We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the bathroom and furniture in Unit 208. Because each of our condos is individually owned and furnished, design choices vary from unit to unit. Your comments will be shared directly with the property owner and management team so they can consider future updates, including your suggestions about the bathroom renovation, furniture, and patio chairs. Maintaining comfort, functionality, and a welcoming atmosphere is always a top priority for us.

We spent a weekend at this condo. Probably the loveliest thing about it is the balcony overlooking the beach and lake: spectacular! It was immaculately clean. The coffee packets were a wonderful bonus. You can walk to downtown, which features restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques. We HIGHLY recommend this condo - it was perfect. Also, Chris at the front desk was helpful and friendly.

Thank you so much for your glowing five-star review of Water Street Inn Unit 208! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your weekend getaway was so enjoyable and that the condo provided everything you were hoping for in a Northern Michigan retreat.
It’s wonderful to know that the balcony overlooking the private sandy beach and Lake Charlevoix was the highlight of your stay. Guests often say the west-facing views from Unit 208 are among the best features of Water Street Inn, offering the perfect place to start the day with a cup of coffee or to wind down in the evening with spectacular sunsets over the water. The peaceful sound of the waves creates a relaxing atmosphere that truly sets the tone for a memorable visit.
We’re so pleased that you found the condo immaculately clean. Our housekeeping team takes great pride in preparing every unit to the highest standards, ensuring that each guest arrives to a spotless and welcoming space. Your recognition of their efforts will mean a lot to them. It’s also wonderful to hear that the complimentary coffee packets were a bonus—small touches like these are meant to make your stay feel even more comfortable and convenient.
The walkable downtown Boyne City location is another favorite feature we’re glad you enjoyed. Being just steps away from local restaurants, boutique shops, coffeehouses, and the marina allows guests to enjoy the vibrant small-town charm without ever needing to drive. Seasonal events like Stroll the Streets add even more to the experience, giving guests a true taste of Northern Michigan hospitality.
We’re also grateful for your kind words about Chris at the front desk. Friendly, professional service is a cornerstone of the Water Street Inn experience, and it’s wonderful to hear that Chris made such a positive impact on your stay. Our staff takes pride in going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcome and cared for.

Overall our stay was very enjoyable. Everything was great but we had hoped to use the fireplace which was turned off for the season. But we had cold weather still so it would have been nice to have used it. Very clean and comfortable.
