About the host

Why they chose this property
The breeze of the lake and the coziness of this house makes this place a hidden gem. Perfect for a small family or a couples getaway. Excellent location and great value.
What makes this property unique
This rental has lake access but there is no dock or boat hoist available. Its perfect if you just want to bring a canoe or kayak or if you're in to just relaxing by the lake with a great view. Just a 10 minute drive to Boyne Mountain resort, 5 minute drive to downtown Boyne City. Great hiking, biking and boating area. Nice shops and restaurants very close by. Petoskey and Charlevoix 2 minutes away. Take a day trip to Mackinac Island or Harbor Springs. So many activities to do in the area....something for everybody.
