And, when the day ends, you can rest easy because we refuse to take any shortcuts when it comes to a great night's sleep! Our mattresses and linens have proven time and time again to impress even the most discerning of guests.

Q: Do you have local/cable/satellite television? A: No. However, most streaming services, such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and others, are available.
Q: Can we have one extra guest over your property max? A: Even if your one extra is an infant, we are required to stick to our maximum occupancy based on local regulations. Violations can result in fines for you and us both.
Q: What’s the parking situation? A: There is a single-wide driveway with plenty of room for two cars. There is no street or public parking nearby. Please do not park in the grass. With advance notice and a fee of $25/stay, we can accommodate up to two additional cars, your RV, or a trailer for your boat, jet skis, ATVs, or snowmobiles.

The host was very attentive and genuinely cared that we had a great experience! Everything was exactly as described - lots of space to relax, it was clean and well maintained. Location was great - easy to get to Boyne and super close to downtown restaurants / grocery.
Very nice stay! Really appreciated the clear instructions on getting in and closing up. The gift cards to the local restaurants and chocolates was a very nice touch. Thank you!
The house was well stocked with the basics. The host was helpful sharing ideas to maximize our time in the area.Having the foozeball table and arcade games added a lot of fun for both the kids and adults.

* We really appreciate you, Michelle! Thank you for your wonderful review of Boyne Appétit. We're delighted you had such a positive experience, and we'd be honored to host you again anytime you're in the area.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Bon Apetit! We celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday at the Boyne spa and it was a short drive and a very convenient location. In the evening, we went on the skybridge and the fresh snow made for great photos. We had a lot of fun playing games provided at the house, including Frogger (retro video arcade game downstairs)! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. The two full bathrooms were nice for our crew to get ready. We look forward to coming back in the summer months to enjoy the lake at the end of the road. Beautiful downtown area with great restaurants. We loved the ice cream at Kilwins too!
We really enjoyed our stay. We came to town for a wedding and it was amazing. We loved Boyne and definitely look forward to coming back! recommendations would be more towels. We appreciated everything that the Host left for us and when we needed to communicate very responsive. Highly recommend this property.

We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. It was a double-thumbs-up experience to host you! And, thank you for the feedback regarding towels. Depending on the number of guests and their stay length, we usually provide two towels per guest, up to a total of 16. I'll investigate further to determine if we were short on clean linens or if a new cleaning team was unfamiliar with our process. Regardless... thank you. Great feedback! We'd love to have you back any time!
Absolutely wonderful place to stay! If I’m ever back in the area I will 100% stay here again. Home was very clean and located in a quiet neighborhood, and we enjoyed watching the turkeys and deer wandering around the yards each morning. Everything was well stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. There were more than enough pots, utensils etc to actually be able to comfortably cook. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and we slept great. Doug was great about communication and was very responsive and easy to get in touch with if we needed anything.

Thanks again for choosing to stay with us at Boyne Appétit! We’re glad everything was to your liking. I didn't receive any private feedback, but if you have the time, I'd love to hear from you directly on where we missed the mark, and I'd even be happy to host you again for another chance at a 5-Star review.
Great location not far from downtown and a grocery store. It was also a short drive to Boyne Mountain. The beds were super comfortable and the house was clean.

About the host
Hosted by Doug Mack
Hey there! I'm Doug.
I am a business strategist, investor, and mentor.
The only thing I love more than helping fellow entrepreneurs create success—is traveling with my pup Hero. Whether to the beach or the hills... on a boat or a snowmobile, if it keeps me busy and enjoying life... count me in!
After experiencing many short-term rentals during my travels, I was inspired to create incredibly memorable experiences for others by never settling for “good enough.”
With my entrepreneurial experience in perfecting processes and procedures, you can count on a five-star experience at any property we manage.
Simply put, I have always loved entertaining guests. From dinner parties to game nights, I show gratitude and admiration for others through yummy food, crafty drinks, and good times! I hope my desire to marry my love for travel with my passion for serving others shines through during your stay.
And because there is always room for improvement, I love and appreciate the gift of honest feedback. So, if you feel there is any way we can improve, please message us directly. We'd love to hear from you.
Until then… Life is short. Life is now. Travel safe. Travel often.
With gratitude.
~Doug
Why they chose this property
★ ABOUT YOUR HOST ★ Skyloft Realty is a boutique management company that has experienced five-star reviews since 2008. That’s one reason why we’re choosy about the properties we support. We hand-select owners with an “above and beyond” mindset that puts guest experience at the forefront of every decision they make. To us, that means (in part) an inviting space with all the conveniences of ‘home’ and ultra-comfortable bedding for a great night’s sleep. Before any home gets listed, we stay at least two nights in the home to get a feel for it and ensure it meets our expectations. All this to say, we are committed to remarkable guest experiences. Thank you for considering staying with us. You’re in good hands.
What makes this property unique
★ SANITIZATION ★ Let's be honest--comfort and amenities only matter when you can be confident you're staying in a clean space. This is why we created an extensive cleaning checklist where all high-touch and common-use areas are deep-cleaned and disinfected. We disinfect the carpet, couches, and other soft surfaces. And, of course, all bedding--from the mattress and pillow protectors to the comforter/duvet--gets removed and replaced with fresh, high-temperature washed, disinfected linens.
★ DOG-FRIENDLY HOME ★ Bring your fur baby along for the adventure. We allow up to two dogs under 60 lbs for a fee. Sorry, no cats, goats, miniature cows, or other animals are allowed.
★ PURPOSE DRIVEN ★ We’re committed to purpose-driven entrepreneurship. That’s why we contribute a minimum of 1% of every night we book to a carefully vetted local charity.
★ CULTURE MATTERS ★ We’re committed to building a dedicated, happy, and well-taken-care-of team. So know that at least 100% of your cleaning fee goes directly to compensate your cleaner. It’s simply the right thing to do.
★ SPECIAL NOTES ★ Garage: A fabric barrier separates the central garage area and is unavailable for guest use. We kindly ask that you respect our privacy and not attempt to pass through the fabric barrier. There are cameras monitoring (only) our private area of the garage.
Cameras: we use exterior (only) security cameras and interior smoke and noise decibel-only monitoring systems. Smoking, vaping, and parties are strictly prohibited.
Rental Agreement: All guests must sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of making their reservation. This includes a $250 fully-refundable security deposit which is only authorized and not charged to your card.
