Loved it! The house was great. Very spacious, plenty of beds, recently redone kitchen that had everything we needed. And the location is fantastic! Short walk to the beach and to the downtown shops and restaurants. Ken was very responsive and helpful. We definitely would stay again.
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.
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 itâs ready to use if itâs 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.
Ken was very responsive to questions and was a great host. The location is perfect for walking everywhere downtown. The property is bigger than what we expected and had plenty of room to spread out. We will stay here again and again.
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.
This house was just what our family needed! The house was very comfortable and close to a great specialty market and great restaurants and bars. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals. There were also plenty of paper products and trash bags available for our entire stay, which was very thoughtful of the owner, Ken.
What we loved most about the home was its location. It was perfectly situated, being only about 15 minutes away from Boyne Mountain. Although we didn't have snow in the city, the mountain had a few slopes open. Our family spent a couple of days at Avalanche Bay, an indoor water park at Boyne Mountain.
One of the highlights of our stay was the hot tub and grill that the home had. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a long day of skiing or exploring the area. And the grill was great for cooking up some delicious meals.
Another thing we appreciated about the home was its proximity to many excellent restaurants and shops in Boyne City. We were able to walk to most of them, which was very convenient.
Finally, I would like to mention that Ken, the owner of the property, was extremely responsive and accommodating every time we reached out to him. He was proactive in his communication before our stay and was always available to answer any questions we had during our stay. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely choose to stay at this place again!
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.
Beautiful, clean and family friendly with The Most Wonderful Host
This is a wonderful vacation property, in a beautiful neighborhood with so many great things to see and do from the beach a short walk, to the many food and drink establishments, you will love your stay
This was the most well-equipped house and the location is unbeatable. A quick walk to the beach & splash pad, perfect for our 2 yr old. 5 min walk to Charlevoix Coffee and downtown Boyne, amazing for the whole family. Highly, highly recommend
Good place to stay in town for a winter break to Boyne Mountain. Quick 10 minute drive to go ski. Easy walking distance to all the restaurants in town. Plenty of room for a family of 4 to spread out when needed and room to be together when we wanted.
The home was the perfect size for our family. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need if preparing a meal, plenty of paper products and Kcups for the entire stay. The home is about 15 minutes to Boyne Mountain and around 40 minutes to Highlands which was perfect for the skiers in our family. The home is walking distance to many great restaurants and shops in Boyne City. The owner was very prompt when we reached out. We would recommend a stay here and will be back someday!
Great loction to walk around town. Plenty of room for 3 adult couples. Furnished beautifully. Plenty of towels, kitchen was well supplied with cooking accessories. Would definitely stay again. Would highly recommend.
We very much loved the location of this vacation rental. It is within walking distance to restaurants, ice cream shops, marina, parks and many other shops. Lots of live music. The rental itself is clean and well stocked. Communication with Ken was easy.
Had a fantastic stay with family and friends (visiting from England) and in their words everything âwas just lovelyâ! The house was very clean and super convenient to walk to the lake or town or just go for a nice walk. Boyne City is a beautiful little town.
We stayed for late season skiing with our kids (6/8).
The house is perfectly set up for 2 families or more than just the 4 we had. 2 bedrooms down stairs (one with bunks) and 2 up. Bathroom on each floor. Kitchen was small but had everything we needed and more - and we made several meals at home. My only thought for the house would be one more TV maybe in the upstairs sitting room.
Ken was east to reach and very good about answering questions.
This house is walking distance to everytring in town and only a short drive to the mountain. You should stay here ⊠just not on the weeks we want to return. đ
We stayed here for a Boyne Mt. Family ski weekend and couldnât have been happier with the home and location. Prime location close to hiking trails for our morning hike with the dog and close to the stores, brewery /pubs, and lake. 10 mins from Boyne Mt. The home is historic and so charming. Beds were comfy and the house is well equipped with everything you need. Ken was very accomodative to our needs. We would definitely stay here again. I bet itâs wonderful in the summer.
I have lived in Boyne City my entire life and have raised my family of four children here. I own a local insurance agency and I reside next door so am able to help with any questions or issues that may arise. In my free time, I love doing anything active and especially love playing tennis and mountain biking.
