The house was comfortable with beautiful views of the lake and babbling brook. The lake was pristine and the dock allowed us easy access. The kitchen had everything you could need and the grill worked perfectly. We enjoyed a relaxing 4 days.
Property was in a great location to enjoy all that boyne city had to offer. Marina next door is convenient and waterfront was beautiful. Stream behind the house is an added bonus. We will definitely be back.
We had a great stay with our family and would love to come back! The manager was quick to respond whenever we needed them. The yard is HUGE and a great campfire at night. We will definitely be looking to come back next year.
Great location with view of the lake and the creek right next to the house in the back. Beautiful. Tony was very responsive when we arrived and there was no heat. Got fixed quickly and we enjoyed our three days.The only reason I didn’t rate a five was due to not being able to reach the host to figure out how to get network channels to watch the game.Great property. Would recommend!
What a great place and exactly as listed. It was 15 minutes from Boyne Mountain and 7 minutes to the cute Boyne City area with grocery and restaurants nearby. The property manager was very easy to contact, checkin was a breeze. Highly recommend this property. We had 2 adults and 7 teens and the space was perfect for us.
We enjoyed our family trip to Boyne City.
Beautiful Lake Charlevoix in the front, with the sights and sounds of the creek in back.
The house was comfortable and had everything we needed.
Sam was readily available and always helpful with any questions.
Would love to visit again.
We had a great time. Everything looked just like the pictures. Comfy beds and well furnished kitchen. We cooked every day and had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing this great home.
Cute, well-maintained cabin on the lake with a wonderful creek running through the backyard. This home had everything we needed for a relaxing 3-day family getaway. Kitchen was fully outfitted, beds were comfy, and the house was clean. Excellent location and friendly neighbors. Short drive into town with easy access to restaurants, groceries, etc. What’s not to like?!
Great place to stay with a family of eight. Place is in the middle of the donut. Charlevoix, Petoskey,Boyne City, Gaylord all within 30 min. Lake was very nice. House very clean and very nice. Thanks Tony fir being a great host!
Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful, extremely well-equipped property. Our grandson loved the creek behind the house. Great space for playing games between the house and the lake. Wonderful neighbors!
The house was perfect for our family's first time in northern Michigan. It is well stocked with everything you could need for cooking, hanging out (we especially loved the karaoke machine and the two fire pits!), and enjoying the lake. It's tucked into a quiet neighborhood off of the main road with friendly neighbors. Our dogs loved running in the large lawn that extends to the lake! Thank you for an awesome stay!
We wanted to celebrate our daughter’s engagement with the family over the 4th of July holiday. This was a perfect spot and the cottage was comfortable, clean, full of everything we could need for our family celebration. We enjoyed dining outside and the beautiful views of Lake Charlevoix. The park-like setting was perfect for outdoor activities. Everyone loved the accommodations and the location. We will be back!
It was exactly as described in the listing! we had an amazing time with our family and friends celebrating Christmas and New Year! The cabin was very cozy, and clean with a perfect location. The nice kitchen, bedrooms, closets, and other spaces were perfect!
There was so much to do, even when it rained. We feel welcome and hopefully will back on summer;)
We had a wonderful week enjoying a Michigan summer. The house if fully equipped for all of your needs. It is comfortable, inviting and has a great flow. Sam, the property manager, is near to help or text your questions to. There is a huge yard to play family whiffle ball and other games and no busy road to cross to get to the lake. We watched the 4th of July fireworks right on the dock! Bonfires, paddleboarding, fishing off the dock and riding our ebikes into Boyne City. We had a fantastic time and we will be back.
First time to visit the area and it's lovely! We were there for a quick winter ski trip and house is only about 15 minutes from Boyne Mountain. Downtown Boyne City is about 5 minutes away and incredibly charming and it's a short drive to Petoskey also. Open floor plan is great and allowed us to all be together. It was great for a winter trip, but it would be an amazing home for a summer getaway! I can just picture dinner on the platform that overlooks the creek behind the house. Thanks for a great visit and for sharing your home with us!
Our week long stay on this gorgeous property was pretty much perfect with warm temperatures all week, sunrise coffee on the dock, fall colors, crystal, clear, calm lake, and a perfect day out on the boat. We loved everything about this property! Can’t wait to come back next fall. oh, and SAM!!! Sam the property manager is amazing!! He made our vacation better in so many ways. He’s one of many reasons we’ll come back.
