The house was exactly as described and exceeded expectations. It offered plenty of space both inside and out, with activities to keep all ages entertained. The bunk beds were surprisingly comfortable, even for adults. Everything was very clean, well-maintained, and stocked with anything you could possibly need. A perfect stay for families or groups—we would definitely return!

The house was very clean and welcoming. It was perfect for our large group of three families. We enjoyed a nice winter getaway, with ice fishing, a sleigh ride and tubing at a local ski resort. The host, Bob, was very helpful with info about the area and answered any questions we had. He sent a email with so much useful information ahead of time. I really appreciated that extra touch as it helped us to plan our activities. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

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!

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!

Very accommodating

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.
