We live in town and can be there in an emergency. Otherwise we give our guests space and are available via call or text.

Boyne City is the ideal "small town living". We live here with our family of 6 and enjoy walking into town to play on the play ground, get ice cream or hear the outdoor music on the weekends.

The property manager was available, the house was clean and everything was well stocked. I loved the seating area in the back yard. I thought the pet cleaning fee was high and didn’t see it at time of booking. The picture seems to show the porch is in the backyard but it is really on the side of the house.

We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron. Very clean, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped, we immediately felt comfortable cozy and secure. We loved the king bed in the master bedroom and enjoyed the comforting electric fireplaces’ features. Communication with the host was excellent.

Beautiful and Clean Home!

We stay in VRBO's a lot; this was one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Brand new everything, newly remodeled, extremely clean, very comfortable beds/bedding, great to bring dogs as it is fenced in. We rated this 5 stars across the board and tend to be a bit on the picky side so this says a lot! Fantastic rental - we hope to be back soon!

Long weekend stay during Venetian Festival

Clean and nicely furnished. Nice fenced in backyard. Recommend staying here. Wish they would have supplied coffee , that there were more than 2 washcloths per bathroom and the grass hadn’t been mowed.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul, 2023
Glad you enjoyed the home. Coffee is located in the cupboard just above the machine. We provide filters, two starter packs of Schuil coffee sourced from Grand Rapids, tea, and hot chocolate. As for towels we provide a set of towels for each guest up to 6 for the home. I believe your reservation was for 4. If guests ask, we can often run over more during a longer stay or there is a new washer and dryer along with laundry soap provided for your use. As for the grass I understand your concern. I had messaged you about our troubles with our contractor and again apologize for the length. All in all thank you for caring for the home and leaving it in good condition.
