It was our pleasure to host you, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing Northern Michigan getaway with Northern Michigan Escapes!
We chose Boyne City because it was centrally located for our son's baseball tournament. This place was perfect. Being nestled into the woods gave us quiet and relaxing nights. The place was clean and exactly as described. 100% recommend for anyone interested in the area.

Perfect combo of country yet close enough to the downtown area. On a stone/dirt road so that was a surprise but it’s a nice place.

We visited the property for 2 nights. There were 5 of us. We had plans for most of the time we were there, so we did not get to hang out at the property much. Regardless of that, we were very impressed with the home and would have enjoyed spending time here. Comfortable and well equipped, we found the home to be consistent with the listing.

Reviewer Comments:
The Lazy Bear Inn was probably the most comfortable place we have ever stayed! The decorator did an amazing job and it had every we needed. The back patio was a perfect place to hang our. Great location, only 2 minutes from DT Boyne shopping and eating. It looks like they are working on the basement and if that's the case I'd suggest them make a bunk room that could handle 6 kids and add a fun game room for rainy days. Renee the mgr was prompt with information.
