My family of four had a wonderful time at this property! It is conveniently close to both Boyne Mountain and downtown Boyne City. The home itself was comfortable and clean. There was ample room for the four of us. We enjoyed the wooded setting. Highly recommend! We hope to stay here again in the future.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear your family of four had a great time and that the home was comfortable, clean, and had plenty of room for everyone. It’s also great to know the location worked so well—being close to both Boyne Mountain and downtown Boyne City makes it easy to enjoy the slopes and still have quick access to restaurants, shops, and everything in town.
We’re especially glad you enjoyed the wooded setting. That peaceful backdrop is one of the things that makes the property feel like a true Northern Michigan getaway.
Thank you again for the high recommendation and for saying you hope to stay again. We’d be delighted to welcome you back in the future.
Small, cozy cabin with lots of sleeping space. Off the beaten path, which is nice if you want to get away from it all. Hiking and fishing is very convenient. Short drive into downtown Boyne City for shops and restaurants.

This was a fantastic house to stay at in Northern Michigan. It was clean and well kept, had all the little things you don't think of that were available for use. Things like pans and cooking utensils were there and available. They were clean and in good condition. Comfortable home and a nice wooded setting. Plenty of sleeping (we had 5) with enough room to not step on each other. Overall this was an excellent place to stay.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback. It is great to hear that you had such a fantastic stay at the house in Northern Michigan and that it worked so well for your group of five.
We are especially glad you found the home clean, well kept, and comfortable. A spotless, well-maintained space is one of the most important parts of a successful vacation, and it is rewarding to know the house met your expectations from the moment you arrived. Your comments about the property being an “excellent place to stay” truly mean a lot.
Thank you as well for highlighting all of the “little things” that were provided, especially in the kitchen. Having clean, good-condition pans, cooking utensils, and essentials on hand makes it so much easier to cook meals, gather around the table, and feel at home instead of feeling like you are missing key items. We are glad those details helped your stay feel easy and stress-free.
The wooded setting and overall layout sound like they were a great fit, too. A peaceful Northern Michigan backdrop combined with plenty of sleeping space and room to spread out is exactly what many guests are looking for. It is nice to hear that even with five people, you had enough room to move around comfortably without feeling like you were on top of each other.
Thank you again for sharing your experience and for recommending the home so highly. We are delighted that your time here was so positive, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another Northern Michigan getaway in the future.
Great proximity to skiing. Walking trails by river were great.

3 generations together for a baseball tournament; location selected because it was pet friendly. We were so pleasantly surprised by the decor with interesting items in every room. The kitchen was well supplied (except measuring cups, so we bought some and donated). There was ample space for everyone to be comfortable…we had 3 couples and a 13 year old. Wonderful stay.

Perfect location. Minutes into town but just far enough away to feel like you’re really in nature.
Only recommendation we have is to upgrade the mattress in the 2nd floor bedroom with en suite powder room.

It’s definitely an older cabin that could use some updating but it was in a quiet area, close to multiple cities and fishing. It’s dog friendly which is so nice!!! There were board games and chairs around the firepit.
