Excellent Property

We stayed in Life At The Lake over the NYE holiday, and were very satisfied with the property; very close to Boyne, where we took in the fireworks and NYE festivities. The condo had every possible item needed for our home-away-from-home, and the property manager quickly responded to all communications (including replacing a coffee maker within 30 minutes!). Would definitely recommend and stay again!
