Check in to check out was seamless. The accommodations were very nice. The only thing that needs replacement is the hide-a bed, springs are broken and not comfortable.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really glad to hear everything from check in to check out felt seamless and that you found the accommodations very nice and comfortable overall. I really appreciate you pointing out the issue with the hide-a-bed. That definitely should not be uncomfortable or have broken springs, and I’m sorry it affected that part of your stay. We’ll have it inspected and replaced or repaired right away so it’s much more comfortable for future guests. Thank you again for the helpful feedback and for staying with us. We’d be happy to welcome you back on a future trip.

Thank you so much for your five-star review of Water Street Inn Unit 111! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that both the location and the view made such a strong impression. Unit 111 is one of our charming ground-floor condominiums, and it’s wonderful to know it provided the perfect setting for your Northern Michigan getaway. One of the things our guests love most is our unbeatable location in downtown Boyne City. Being just steps away from restaurants, boutique shops, coffeehouses, the marina, and seasonal events like Stroll the Streets makes it easy to explore everything the town has to offer without needing to drive. At the same time, you’re able to return to the peaceful setting of a private condo with direct access to Lake Charlevoix, giving you the best of both worlds. We’re delighted you enjoyed the gorgeous lake views. Unit 111 offers guests the chance to relax on a cozy private patio while taking in the beauty of Lake Charlevoix, from calm morning waters to stunning west-facing sunsets in the evening. Many guests say these views are one of the most memorable parts of their stay. We’re also grateful for your recognition of our staff and amenities. Every unit at Water Street Inn is individually owned, thoughtfully furnished, and fully stocked with essentials, while our housekeeping team ensures that each condo is clean, comfortable, and ready for your arrival. Pairing that with a private beach, lakefront location, and friendly service makes staying here a truly special experience. Thank you again for your kind words and for sharing that you’ll be back. We’re so pleased that Water Street Inn 111 delivered the location, views, and comfort you were hoping for, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon for another memorable stay on the shores of Lake Charlevoix!

Thank you so much for your five-star review of Water Street Inn Unit 111! We’re delighted to hear that you would highly recommend our property for stays in the Northern Michigan area. Knowing that you had such a positive experience means the world to us, and your kind words highlight exactly what makes Water Street Inn such a special destination for guests visiting Boyne City. Unit 111, like all of our individually owned lakefront condominiums, combines comfort, style, and functionality with the added bonus of being directly on Lake Charlevoix. Guests love the opportunity to step outside onto a private patio or balcony and take in the peaceful sounds of the water, enjoy west-facing sunset views, and relax on our beautifully maintained private beach. Having this kind of lakefront experience while still being within walking distance to downtown Boyne City makes the location truly unmatched. We’re pleased that your stay in Unit 111 provided the convenience and comfort you were hoping for. Each condo is designed to feel like a home away from home, complete with thoughtful touches, tasteful décor, and the essentials that make a vacation relaxing and stress-free. Our housekeeping staff takes pride in keeping every unit spotless and inviting, so you can settle in and focus on making memories. The location of Water Street Inn is another standout feature. Being just steps away from downtown Boyne City means guests can easily explore restaurants, boutique shops, coffeehouses, and the vibrant marina. Seasonal events like Stroll the Streets and year-round access to nearby attractions in Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Walloon Lake make this the perfect hub for exploring all that Northern Michigan has to offer. Your recommendation is truly appreciated, as many guests find us based on word-of-mouth and positive reviews. We’re honored that you enjoyed your time in Unit 111 enough to encourage others to stay with us. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

Great view of the lake

This was a really cute inn! The view of the lake was awesome. Affordable place to stay in the winter if you want to go skiing at Boyne. It can fit 4 but would recommend only for two people unless you are good with a pull out sofa.
