Rainy Boyne Mountain Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A perfect house to base a ski trip out of. Very close to the top of Alpine Chair, able to ski down to the base of the chair. Our trip coincided with warmer weather and rain. This is the perfect house for a group or family to hang out and enjoy one another. If the conditions would have been better for skiing, this is the perfect house to base a trip out of. The house offers good amenities and a very functional kitchen.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Mar, 2026
Thank you for the thoughtful review and for choosing Big View Escape as your home base for a Boyne Mountain ski trip. We are thrilled to hear you found the location so convenient near the top of the Alpine Chair and that you were able to ski down to the base of the chair when conditions allowed. That kind of mountain access is exactly what many guests are looking for when booking a Northern Michigan vacation rental for skiing and snowboarding. We also appreciate you noting that, even with warmer weather and rain during your trip, the house still worked perfectly for your group to hang out, relax, and enjoy time together. Big View Escape was designed to be just as enjoyable off the slopes as it is on them, with comfortable gathering spaces, great amenities, and a layout that supports families and groups. It is great to hear the kitchen felt very functional and well equipped. A strong kitchen setup makes it easy to cook meals, prep snacks, and keep the group together, especially when weather shifts plans. Thank you again for sharing your experience. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Big View Escape for another Boyne Mountain getaway with better ski conditions next time.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying here! We traveled to Boyne Falls for our kids spring break, with our friends, so we could ski. The house is super close to the slopes, which made it very convenient. We weren’t able to utilize the ski in/ski out option due to all the snow, but everything still worked out fine (we just jumped in our rental and drove down). The house had a nice garage where we could store our skiing equipment, a beautiful kitchen and living room which was open so we could all be with one another, a hot tub which the kids and adults equally loved (especially after a day of skiing), and two master bedrooms, which worked out perfect for us, and our friends. We each have a boy and a girl, so the boys loved sharing their own room, as well as the girls. Lastly, the house was beautifully decorated, the beds were so comfortable (slept like a rock!), and we appreciated the gorgeous 8 ft solid wood doors . It seemed the decor, furniture and appliances were well thought out.Amazing place to stay!

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing review. We’re thrilled you thoroughly enjoyed your spring break ski trip with friends and that the home worked so well for your group. It’s great to hear the close proximity to the slopes made everything convenient, even though heavy snow kept you from using the ski-in/ski-out option this time. We really appreciate you mentioning that, and we’re glad the quick drive down still made it easy to get everyone on the mountain. We love that the home’s layout helped you all spend time together. The open kitchen and living room, the garage for storing ski gear, and the hot tub being a favorite for both kids and adults—especially after a full day of skiing—is exactly how we hope the space is enjoyed. And it’s wonderful to hear the two master bedrooms worked perfectly for you and your friends, and that the kids’ room setup made for a fun and easy arrangement. Thank you for the kind words about the decor and thoughtful details, from the furniture and appliances to the solid wood doors. And hearing you slept like a rock is one of the best compliments we can receive—comfortable beds are a must after long ski days. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay here and taking the time to share so many details. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another Boyne Falls getaway.

We had a wonderful stay here, the home was well appointed for 3 couples and 2 toddlers with plenty of space to spread out. We enjoyed the hot tub and the close proximity to Boyne.

Great house with good amenities! The beds are super comfortable and kitchen is well-appointed with high-end appliances and upscale pots, pans and utensils. We did not use the hot tub nor did we ski as we were in town for a family wedding. We did use the grill, fireplaces and kitchen. The coffee maker is not good - took 45 minutes to brew 8 cups of coffee, so that should be replaced. Would also have been nice to have some additional blankets available beyond what was on the beds. All in all, it is a beautiful property and worked well for our multi-generational family weekend together.

Spring Break Getaway

Grandmas treat for grandkids for a spring break getaway to the area and Avalanche Bay waterpark. I found out, six weeks ahead of our visit, after making reservations at the VRBO managed by Northern Michigan Escapes that Avalanche Bay was closed for maintenance and our water park plans (only reason we were going). Otherwise there’s not much for kids to do during this season in this area. I realize there’s a window by which we could cancel but

Thank you for your review and for choosing Northern Michigan Escapes for your spring break getaway. We truly understand your disappointment about Avalanche Bay being closed during your visit, especially since it was a key part of your plans. However, we’d like to clarify that Northern Michigan Escapes is an independent property management company and not affiliated with Boyne Mountain Resort or its operations. We were not made aware of the waterpark’s maintenance closure either, and we apologize for the inconvenience this caused. That said, we hope you were still able to enjoy some of the many other seasonal activities available in the area such as mountain biking, hiking, ziplining, golf, tennis, and pool access. There’s truly something for everyone here, and we’d love the opportunity to host you again for a future visit filled with fun and relaxation. Thank you again for staying with us!

Great property, excellent management

My family and I had an absolutely amazing time here. The proximity to Boyne (both the mountain and the town) is wonderful and I can’t say enough about the management team. The house was spotless and well appointed. All of the appliances and furnishings are new and fresh. When I needed a few things, they got them over to me right away! The only note I’d make, while advertised as ski in/ski out, there is a short walk to the path leading to the chairlift and the particular lift closest to the house (Alpine) doesn’t run all the time. The walk was too long for my very young kids to do in ski boots and carry all of our equipment, but would be easy for an adult or older children. Overall, I’d recommend this rental to anyone looking for a weekend away!

Thank you so much for your review. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the home and that the hot tub was a highlight. Thank you also for the clarification on ski access. Big View Escape can be ski-in/ski-out, but it depends on conditions and on the Alpine chairlift operating, and it helps to know the correct access route. We’re updating our pre-arrival instructions and listing details to make this clearer, including step-by-step directions to the ski access point and a note that lift operations and grooming can affect the experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share this—your feedback helps set accurate expectations and improves future stays. We’d be happy to welcome you back.
