Walk Downtown - Fall Colors, Wineries & Firepit

Welcome to The Maxwell — Your Four-Season Boyne City Basecamp

Experience the best of Northern Michigan from The Maxwell, a freshly updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat just three blocks from downtown Boyne City and Lake Charlevoix.

Walk downtown for coffee, dinner, shopping and local events, spend summer days on the lake, explore Northern Michigan wineries and fall colors, or hit the slopes at Boyne Mountain before coming home to relax around the fire.

Inside, The Maxwell features updated furnishings and appliances with plenty of space for families, couples and friends. Outside, your private entertainment area includes a gazebo, dry bar, fire pit and grill—perfect for summer evenings, crisp fall nights and après-ski gatherings.

Four Seasons. One Perfect Home Base.

SUMMER
Walk to Lake Charlevoix and downtown Boyne City, enjoy boating and beaches, golf nearby courses, or spend Friday evening at Stroll the Streets.

FALL
Experience Northern Michigan's spectacular fall colors, explore nearby wineries and breweries, hike or bike local trails, then return to The Maxwell for an evening around the fire.

WINTER
Make The Maxwell your ski-weekend headquarters. Spend the day skiing and snowboarding at Boyne Mountain, experience SkyBridge Michigan, or take the kids to Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark—then head back into Boyne City for dinner and drinks.

SPRING
Enjoy quieter weekends Up North with hiking, biking, golf, fishing and everything downtown Boyne City has to offer before the summer crowds arrive.
