Large family vacation, perfect cozy cottage

We had a great stay at this cabin! The two main bedrooms were very spacious, the two bunk rooms accommodated many of the children we had with us (9 kids, aged 7mths to 12YO). We had 4 couples in our group to go with the kids so one couple had to stay in the bunk room with their kids, which was fine too. We used the boat launch as a beach within walking distance and it worked out perfectly for us. The yard is mostly dirt and a little grass, but our kids had tons of fun. The outside games the house already had were awesome! The kitchen definitely needed some updated tools and the knives are in severe need of sharpening. For all the cooking "vessles" the home offers, including two huge fridges (totally awesome), the kitchen tools were lacking and made it hard to cook sometimes. Overall excellent stay, gaylord is a great area with tons of stores! The location of this cabin was very quiet and peaceful without being too far from town (about 10 mins drive)

Awesome place

I can't say enough good things about this house and the owners. We arrived to music playing and the TVs and a very clean house. The house is perfect for larger groups and even great for families with kids. Would 100% stay again.

Great Stay!

We were a group of 4 couples and we had plenty of room and a great stay! The kitchen was well supplied and we had space to all eat together and play games. The owner had some special treats for us upon our arrival. We had a slight issue with one of the appliances and the owner was able to come right away and work with us. I highly recommend this home and would definitely stay again!

Hosts were super accommodating. They let us check in early since it was open. The place had tons of items for outdoor fun (fire pit, outdoor games, canoes/kayaks, etc.). Multiple TVs, video game consoles, etc. Hosts live close and came over immediately to address a possible issue and took a fee off for a possible inconvenience.

A Great Stay for Our Trip to Boyne Mountain

The property very comfortably fit our group of 15. The common spaces were large enough for everyone to gather between the living room and the kitchen/dining area. All of the entertainment systems you can ask for. Thank you Bob and Ali!
