About this property
WALLOON LAKEFRONT big deck/dock GAME ROOM fireplace WATERFRONT bike/hike nearby
Given the huge demand for indoor entertainment options as well as enjoying the great outdoor environment provided by Walloon Lake, we've re-imagined the lower level of the property to include an awesome game room with billiards, ping pong, shuffle board w/ bowling, digital pin ball and darts along with the big screen TV and wet bar. After a day on the lake or on the slopes of nearby Boyne Mountain, the fun can continue into the evening without having to leave the house.
So, it truly is Paradise Found with 113' of beautiful, wooded lakefront property on premier part of Walloon Lake, nestled next to Mackinaw State Forest. Enjoy dramatic views of Walloon Lake from the expansive deck that wraps around two sides of the house, which is built into the hillside overlooking the lake.
The house is fully-appointed with amenities for a very relaxing stay, including gourmet kitchen with beverage fridge, 65-inch HDTV on the main level and 60-inch HDTV on lower level, Bose audio system on main level, high capacity propane grille, complete deck furnishings, and dock with large boat well and sun deck. High speed, wireless internet and a dedicated work station on the 2nd floor balcony make the house perfect for those on a 'flexcation', who will require some work time along with play time.
Only 10 minutes to both Boyne City and Walloon Village, and 20 minutes to both Petoskey and Charlevoix. And a great location for skiers (15 minutes to Boyne Mountain and 30 minutes to Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob) and snowmobilers (frozen Walloon Lake provides ride-out / ride-in access to Charlevoix, Emmet, Cheboygan, and Otsego County trails).
Kitchen / Dining / Living rooms are open concept with stunning lake views via two 9' sliding doors. Great lake views and very spacious feeling via two story cathedral ceiling toward water. Walk-out lower level also enjoys great lake views from TV area and king bedroom.
This well-laid-out house sleeps 12 and works very well for extended families with grandparents and kids. The primary bedroom (first floor) has a queen bed with en suite and sliding door to deck.
The second floor has two bedrooms connected by a 'Jack-n-Jill' bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a queen bed. The other bedroom has two twin beds and one bunk bed. (Note: Walloon Lakefront LLC, which owns the property, is not responsible for any accidents or injuries that may occur as a result of using the bunk bed)
The fourth bedroom is located on the lower level. It has a king bed, 9' wide picture window overlooking the lake, and direct access to the lower level full bathroom. The lower level TV area also has a daybed with trundle (sleeping for two).
For an adults-only stay, above sleeping arrangements work very well for four couples.
The first floor also has a half bath.
Additional amenities include full size washer and dryer, dishwasher, and tankless water heater providing an un-interrupted supply of hot water.
Enjoy the floating swim platform and tanning area on the dock. Great swimming for family fun with very gradual drop-off. You can also enjoy the two kayaks and two paddle boards located at the shoreline. (Note: Walloon Lakefront LLC, which owns the property, is not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illness that may occur while swimming in the lake or using the kayaks and paddle boards)
We also have a 23' Manitou tritoon with a 150HP engine available for rent during the warmer weather months. Pictures are included in the listing photos. If interested, let us know and we'll share more information with you. (Note: the boat rental operation is a separate entity, independent of Walloon Lakefront LLC)
For winter bookings, please note: Sunterra Trail is privately plowed and sanded - because it is hilly with a couple sharp turns, All-Wheel Drive vehicles with good tires are highly recommended to ensure easy access to and from the house.
For larger groups needing a second house, we also have the house next door available for rent. It's Vrbo listing number is 420929.

Went in the middle of February for a long skiing/ snowboarding weekend, place was great and the hosts were more than accommodating and I can only imagine how pretty it is in the summer but I can say for sure it was beautiful in the winter!
The host was very attentive and responsive to concerns. The property was very spacious for the 3 families and the kids are already requesting to go back this summer. Great time!
Great large lake view home, loved the view, great communication with the host, also pet friendly with all the amenities..The family had a great time...even had a dock for our boat with easy access to a boat launch.
Beautiful property and lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back again. The deck was great with a wonderful view of the lake. House was clean and comfortable.
Flawless check in, incredible views! Awesome vacation rental with sandy beach and boating facilities. Property manager was incredible and very helpful and accommodating ! Hoping to return soon!!
Beautiful large lake view home in a private setting! Plenty of room for eight adults and a golden retriever. Easy check-in and great communication with the host. Lots of games for all to enjoy – ping pong, pool, shuffle board, etc. Really enjoyed the patio with fire pit and plenty of space for all and equally enjoyed the spacious dock for lounging in the sun. The paddle boards were a nice addition! Can’t wait until our next visit!
Beautiful property with beautiful views! It's a lovely, very private property but close to town.We stayed with six of our adult children and had a wonderful time. The house was extremely well-stocked, house was clean, and beds were comfortable. There were extra towels, blankets, and sheets. We rented the pontoon for a day and David was very helpful with instructions and usage of the boat. The lake wasn't overrun with boats either- a few boats and jet skis but even on Labor Day weekend it wasn't crowded. Overall great stay!
This was our third year renting this property, and as always, it was a wonderful stay. The property is first class, beautifully maintained, and perfect for a family vacation. Highlights are the fantastic deck, the sandbar, and the beautiful view of Walloon. Will be back again next year!
We loved everything about our stay! David was very responsive and easy to work with. The house is great and worked very well for three generations of family staying together. The kitchen is very well supplied, beds and linens are comfortable, beautiful lake location, really no complaints and we will be back next year!
Second year at this very comfortable home on a quiet section of Walloon Lake. The location is perfect and the home has everything we need for a great stay. Looking forward to next year!
This home was perfect for our family! It’s beautiful, incredibly roomy and has every amenity you could possibly need…starting with a great location and view! All of our adult kids had the space they needed, and fun water toys to keep everyone happy and active! We’re looking forward to going back next year!
Can’t say enough good things about this property. Stayed here with three couples and four young kids. Plenty of room, great dock and boat, and a wonderful week of memories. A plus.
Excellent stay on Walloon Lake! House had everything that we needed for our family (6 adults, 3 small children)! Clean! Loved the 2 refrigerators that were available due to the size of our group. Swimming area was very nice down at the dock. Perfect for the young kids! Appreciate the hoist for our boat rental! David was an excellent host. Very responsive to any questions we may have had. Appreciated his recommendation regarding a pontoon rental for our stay. Overall a great stay! Would definitely return!
We rented this home and the neighboring property for a golf centric trip. Both homes are fantastic. The amenities are wonderful and the lake views from each home are spectacular. For what it’s worth, there are multiple golf options. We would definitely rent these properties again.
We are annual summer renters in northern Michigan and this home was perfect for the different ages groups we had. If you like trail running, mountain biking or strolling through the trees this is the perfect location. The dock worked wonderfully for our boat and the shallow water made a great spot for throwing toys off the end of the dock for the dogs and swimming for the kids. The host was welcoming and the house had everything we needed and more!!

Response from VrboOwner on 17 July 2025
We were sorry to learn of the maintenance concern after the extremely hot weather had passed. We always ask our guests to notify us immediately if they encounter a maintenance issue so that we can address it with minimum disruption to a stay. The filters have been cleaned and upstairs A/C units are working very well.
While the trash bins getting knocked over was unfortunate, Waste Management (WM) has now supplied the proper large 96 gallon totes which the raccoons can't knock over. We've also added heavy duty bungee cords so they can't open the lids.
The house and property was beautiful. We arrived late at night due to airline delays and it was dark and stormy. We had no idea of the beautiful views we had until the next morning. It was breathtaking. We had a little glitch with not knowing the code to get in the door when we arrived, but VRBO called the owner and solved it. I love this property and will definitely try to stay here again when we are in the area.
Our three families stayed here and had a great vacation. The communication from the property owner, David, was exceptional from the beginning. The house was spacious and abundantly stocked with everything we needed. We also rented the owners pontoon boat for the week. The dock was perfect for sunbathing and watching sunsets. The deck was spacious and fire table was awesome. We spent most evenings on the deck and playing card games on large kitchen table. With being in the woods, you have to be careful with opening door at dark not to let tons of bugs into house. It was a great vacation and would recommend this house and property owners, David and Laurie, to others!!
