Very secluded property, great back deck to be in nature. Cool thing, is you're secluded, yet 6 min from Boyne City, 15 min from Waloon or Charlevoix! Just great location, plenty of room to park a trailer too. The host let us check in early, even had a little welcome gift! Very clean and comfortable, would stay again

Amazing place to stay and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the real world in northern Michigan. It was exactly as pictured and described. Super clean, spacious, and comfortable. Location is perfect for trips to neighboring towns along the lakes.Hosts were great in responding to questions/messages and we felt right at home (though away from home) in the apartment.

I absalutely loved staying here, it was so quiet and peaceful. This was my first time renting an apartment and it made the whole trip so much more relaxing than a hotel room and pretty much the same price for a decent room. Thinking I will be staying there again next year when I visit my grandson again.

This place was awesome. Al (one of the haits) was super nice. The property is beautiful and in a great spot. The baby gates made it easy for us with a toddler. Access to the bike trail and long pine Park we're awesome too. Easy to get into Boyne city, lavender hill farms and other places.

Spacious Spotless and Comfortable

Lovely experience. Hosts very accommodating and easy to work with. Location perfect for the wedding we attended at Walloon Lake. Fabulous lavender farm right down the road and a nice selection of restaurants near by. The beds were comfortable and house was spotless. Thank you for hosting us.

Relaxing getaway!

The property is just beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is wonderful and well-equipped. The hosts are wonderful and ready to assist if you need anything. We enjoyed this property because we could relax and stay local and easily visit fun places like Charlevoix, Mackinaw City and Sault Ste Marie. Highly recommend!

Very Nice

We enjoyed our stay in this treehouse rental. Our beds were comfortable and we had a nice view from the upper level of the wooded setting. The owner was very accomodating when we had an issue lighting the gas stove. Also, we got some great tips on things to do in the nearby area.

Beautiful property close to Boyne City, Petoskey and Charlevoix. This is a year round perfect location to educate others-or remind-what northern Michigan really is. More than what is presented. Truly a Michigan destination. We will return. Thank you Janet for everything!

A delightful, quiet, and restful home base for visiting many NW Michigan communities

The Treehouse was an ideal place for us to gather, eat, and relax while traveling around Charlevoix, Boyne City, Walloon, and Petoskey. While we weren't able to meet Janet, her communication prior to our staying was clear, friendly, and very helpful. Al was delightful. The rental included everything we needed to make our own meals, plenty of space to relax and get away from the bustling towns, and an entire property that oozed beauty and and relaxation. Would definitely recommend.

Long weekend in Boyne City

Came for the marathon - was super pleased with this location for access to Boyne City, Charlevoix, and Petoskey all within 15 min. Bike path goes in front of property too. Owners are on property but quiet and separate. Very accessible if you need them though. Pretty property and decent-sized for 3-4 people. Lots of animals on the walls. Toilet is very slow and difficult, which makes it hard for multiple people to use with only one bathroom. Property looked like it hadn’t been cleaned again prior to our arrival, but overall was fairly clean. Owners left a nice arrival gift too!
