Great House

House was better than listing showed and consequently exceeded expectations. Plenty of room, very comfortable and clean. Conveniently located to Boyne Mountain and Petoskey (15 minutes to both). Decor was eclectic, but endearing. We had a wonderful time with our family of six - will book again when headed to Boyne.

Recommend for short stay

The property was lovely and theme fit the bill for an outdoor adventure getaway. Unfortunately we didn't feel totally secure, we felt like we were being watched by camras and eyes. The owners actually live right behind the house

Great deal and location!

Very nice northern property - perfect for family with young adults who like to play games & have own space to hang out. Plenty beds. We enjoyed the bon fire and the location was perfect to tow our boat between Charlevoix, Walloon Lake & Torch Lake. Clean home with the most bang for the Buck.

Incredibly great house for vacations!

This house may be the best vacation rental I've ever stayed! It's fairly new, very spacious and has decent bedding and parking amenities. It also offers great recreation equipment such as a billiard pool, a table tennis table, home theater devices, etc. The owner is very kind and responsive, even helped us outside of our staying period (we really appreciate that!). I would definitely recommend this vacation rental to anybody that would have a vacation around Boyne Falls!

Winter Weekend

Enjoyable game room and roomy kitchen. Some of the memory foam mattresses are quite firm and sleep hot. A bit of a difficult walk from parking area over the wooden walkway & downstairs to entrance. Location is a bit remote. Overall our stay was pleasant though.

Fun Cabin Atmosphere with Lots of Space

Our 2 families stayed here and loved it! We had 2 couples and 5 children and still had a bed to spare. We never felt like we were crowded at all. The downstairs game room was a big hit. It is a short drive to hiking, shopping, restaurants, & the beach, and the neighborhood has a pool and playground. The owner were very welcoming and communicated well. I would highly recommend staying here!

The definition of cozy northern Michigan!

We enjoyed our weekend at this house! We had a few small children with us, along with a few family members. Plenty of space, well kept, and extremely cozy and warm. Very glad we picked this place! It's just a 15 minute drive to Boyne, and for those who snowmobile, the side road to this house connects right to state trails. Very convenient! Thanks again to the great hosts!

Perfection ❤️

Our stay was perfect. The house was everything we wanted and more. Out of town, but just a quick drive to get all the supplies we needed. The pool was perfect at the end of the day and close to the house. The owner answered any questions immediately. The game room was the perfect added touch. We would definitely stay again! Our short family trip was much needed and we were able to have so much fun as a family! Thank you!

Loved the property, especially the beautiful deck. Seven women spending time together was priceless we would recommend even a small mirror in each bedroom so the bathroom isn’t tied up so much. Also-getting into the key lock was difficult for us-a big reason for that is our age and not being familiar with how they work. Needed ALOT more directions to understand it!

Recent Ski Weekend

Property was clean, spacious, and well furnished. Upper-level shower needs to be looked at as there was barely any water flowing out. There were conflicting check-in/check-out times in the listing vs. the final check-in info provided. Overall, though, it was a pleasant experience.

Great home for our family reunion.

Clean home in a very quiet neighborhood with access to a great pool and open fields for outdoor family games. Homeowner allowed us to park our 35’ RV in driveway. Backyard has a fire pit for Smore‘s. Basement equipped with pool table and ping-pong table which were a big hit with our kids. Owner was responsive to all our needs and responded quickly. We loved the open floor plan between the kitchen and dining room so we could be together during meals. Petoskey is 20 minutes away. We also enjoyed the Avalanche Recreation area for a great family hike, trail running and mountain biking in Boyne City.

The property was a great for our family.

Overall the home was a good fit. We were disappointed that we could not have a fire as the picture shows firewood. I would also suggest a better stocked kitchen. There were no washcloths or dish towels. No baking sheets. Not necessary well stocked. May I also suggest drapes for the sliding door as a ton of cold air comes thru and makes the living room very cold (not cozy at all). It would have been nice to be able to block some the cold air coming in. Other than that it was overall a good experience.

I'm sorry you did not feel comfortable at my home.Belive me,we try our best to make our guests happy.I do not mean to be disrespectuf in any way but we do have plenty of fire wood under the balcony. We also have plenty washcloths.I also encorage my guests to get in touch with me if they need help with anything or if they're having problems in finding things around the house.In regards to the sliding doors I intentionally left them without any window treatments because the house has a lot of privacy and I did not want to take away any of the view. Our guests can always turn up the temerature in the house if needed to feel cozier.I will consider your suggestion and get more baking sheets . I wish you the best! Liana

Floors dirty, Home smells and poorly supplied

When we arrived… There was cans overflowing with garbage in the driveway and a recycling bin on the deck overflowing with beer cans that were still there when we left. We found it ironic that the owner asked us to takeoff our shoes when we came in... which we did because we do that at our own home... however, the floors were so filthy our socks were completely dirty within hours of walking around. Also, the home has a strange odor to the point that none of us could stay down the basement. It made us feel ill. It was the worst supplied home we have ever been in. Literally- 1 roll of toilet paper- we had to pull sheets off for the other bathroom. No shampoo or soap- the basics were totally missing. Lastly, for some reason they had a separate contract they wanted you to sign after you got there! On the positive side the owner was very accommodating for us to allow us to bring our golden doodle, the deck was nice, nice TV and nice to have a ping pong table but my suggestion is to find a different house- we wish we had.

I am really sorry you felt that way about our house . Believe it or not we make cleaning a top priority because we want all of our guests to feel comfortable in our house that's why I usually clean the house myself. However that week I was on a family vacation and I had to hire someone else to clean for me .Apparently she did a poor job in cleaning restocking and ventilating properly. We had guests that check out the same day with your arrival . In regards to the garbage bin outside there is not much I can do . The truck only comes once a week and we had guests all that week. We respect all of our guests and want them to spend memorable moments in our house. Liana
