The property is very nice. Setting is really pretty and it felt like “home” when we walked in. Quite clean and decorated nicely. I especially liked the bathroom vanity and storage above toilet. Great floor plan and spacious. Close to town and water. The “Bill Knapp” donuts and “Dots” pretzels were a big hit! Thank you for providing us with such a pleasant stay. Vicky, Tecumseh, Mi.

Loved our stay. The house was roomy, clean, well appointed with all the right things. Location was so quiet. Close enough to walk downtown to eat or shop. Enjoyed the campfire pit. A good proximity to other attractions and activities. Boyne City is our new favorite up North MI location. We will want to return.

A very sweet rustic home in a quiet family neighborhood. We rented this place to stay in while our friends were camping at Young State Park. The location is convenient to to Boyne City and the park. This home is well stocked with whatever supplies you need. Very homey and comfortable. The host always answered if we contacted him in a prompt manner. We felt the pricing was fair and we would definitely rent here again. Thank you Dennis for sharing your home with us!

Cute home and property. Clean and cozy place that we may return to if we are ever in the area again! Had extra linens and an air mattress for our kiddo that doesn’t like to share a bed. Close to a lot of attractions, for us the Petoskey soccer fields.

centrally located

A nice centrally located rental property. Small extras like snacks and water bottles was a nice touch. Wished the listing had said that it had room/window air conditioners so 2nd bedroom ran a little warm. They did provide a fan in that room though.

The house was so clean and nice, enjoyed our stay immensely. It sits back off the road (felt very private) and had all the stuff we needed. Close to downtown and Lake Charlevoix., I would definitely stay at this home again and the communication with host (excellent).

Boyne City stay

comfortable house with amenities, there was no direct phone communication with owner, but none was needed. There was a nice folder with clear directions. The only thing I would like to suggest would be both bedrooms have an A/C as the one room would get stuffy when door was shut for privacy. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay!!
