Hot Tub 15 Minutes to Boyne and Nubs!

Enjoy a true Up North experience at Good Times in the Pines. Our cabin is located on a beautiful wooded 5 acres but close to snowmobile trails, ski hills, restaurants, golf courses, wineries, beaches, and shopping. The interior of the home has been completely renovated, all new furniture, beds, and bedding, and features a fully stocked kitchen.

***New 6 Person Hot Tub!

On the main level of the home you will find a fully stocked kitchen (Crate and Barrel dishes, servers, and glassware), island with two bar stools, four seat dining table, living room with 86 inch internet TV, master bedroom with king bed, full bathroom (shower), and laundry room. Upstairs features the second bedroom with a king bed, desk, and recliner, full bathroom (shower/tub combo), and third bedroom with two queen beds and desk. This third bedroom is open to the stairs and you pass by it to enter the second bedroom so it is great for children or people who do not mind a loft style sleeping arrangement.

Outdoor seating includes two rocking chairs, two stationary chairs, and two zero gravity chairs on the upper deck near the Blackstone Grill and a six seat dining table on the lower deck. The back patio features a new Hot Tub and outdoor kitchen and bar. The backyard features a fire pit with ten seats and fully stocked wood shed. Yard games include Cornhole, Ringo, Jenga, and Kubb.


The walk out basement includes a bar (sink, full size fridge, ice, coffee maker, microwave), 4 bar stools, pool table, wood stove, couch and 86 inch internet TV. The other side of the basement features an additional queen bedroom, full bathroom (shower), and 2 desks. Indoor activities include Puzzles, cards, and board games. Speakers for music are provided in basement and living room.

Starlink Internet - very fast and can be used for video calls. Dog friendly! We love dogs and provide bowls, towels, treats, and bags. Please do not leave your dog unattended in the home or bring a kennel.

We designed and furnished this home so that it will be ideal for guests who need to work remotely (4 desks) and guests who want to cook more elaborate meals and spend time together enjoying the home and property.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Loved the game room. Played lots of pool with a cozy fire in the woodstove. The space was perfect for 3 adult couples, we each had our own floor. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. Pet friendly too!

Wonderful property - perfect for our family and dogs. Had a pontoon with us to go on the chain of lakes and the place was perfect for the boat/trailer. Spent most of the time on the lake but the house was nice to come back to.

Perfect little getaway

At first glance the property looked small but when we went inside, it was so much more than it appeared. The location was perfect for a day trip to the island & another day in Petosky. When we weren’t checking out the parks, the property was perfect for spending time by the fire, relaxing in the hot tub & entertaining. This is a great location, can’t wait to go back!

We came for a team pool tourney & hadn't met 2 of our players. We had a blast & they appreciated a nice table! Too many stairs for me as I am handicapped but the main bedroom was very convenient! Would love to stay here next year!

Girls Trip

Great property. Super nice fire pit, hot tub and basement. Appreciated the Crate and Barrel dishes. Just wish some of the pans, cookie sheets and the oven were nicer/ cleaner. That likely happens with renters, so, sort of understandable, but, refreshing that would’ve been better. Dishwasher did’t work so we hand washed. No doubt property manager will fix that as she was very responsive when we notified her.

Our family stayed at this lovely home last weekend as a meet-up spot for siblings, and we had such a nice time! The house had enough beds for everyone, there was plenty of space to congregate together, the kitchen was fully stocked with nice dishes and utensils, and the outdoor area was perfect for yard games and campfires. It was exactly what we needed, and the cleanliness was superb! Will definitely be back!
