Family vacation

The check-in process was unclear as the front door was unlock and had 1 antique key which had to be left in the door at night so we would be able to unlock the door in case of a fire. The owner or another man was staying in the basement during our stay- which made our family feel uneasy.

Downtown Boyne City Rental

My husband and I spent five weeks in this house while renovations to our lake home were being completed. The house is fully set up to accommodate a longer stay and worked out perfectly for us. We enjoyed being able to walk about the town and around the lake. Ken, the owner, is great--flexible and responsive to the few issues that what had.

Great location, great variety of recreational equipment, quality cookware, great owner interaction!

Loved this beautiful restored home. Walking distance to shops, food, lake was a plus. The owner really provides everything you need - kayaks, other recreational equipment, toilet paper/paper towels to last the full week (this drives me crazy with some rentals), QUALITY cookware for preparing meals (frequent frustration with rentals). We accidentally locked ourselves out and the owner was there to get us back in quickly. Very friendly and helpful! Would definitely pick this location again.

Great location in downtown Boyne City

Ken's place is perfectly located in downtown Boyne City - close enough to walk to downtown restaurants and shops, and close enough to walk to the nearby public beach. Just a short drive to nearby grocery store. The home is very clean and spacious. We had 6 people for our week in Boyne City, 4 adults and 2 kids, and we had plenty of room to spread out. Two bedrooms with queen beds are upstairs and two bedrooms are downstairs on the main floor - one with a queen bed and the other with bunk beds. There is a full bathroom on each floor so we were able to have privacy in our own areas. I highly recommend this house for a stay up north and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Boyne city family vacation

Awesome location in a very walkable area with many great options to keep everyone busy and entertained daily. The listing indicated that this was an entire house. We were surprised to find another rental unit and tenant in the lower level of the home. Also listed a hot tub in the ad. There is a hot tub but let the host know before you arrive to make sure it’s ready to use if it’s important to your stay. The home is very comfortable and made for an awesome vacation for our family. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks. There are many cool extras available to use while you are there. I would return.
