Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had such a pleasant stay! My boys loved all the activities outside and the house was really well appointed. The upstairs living room and the basement living space are both great to spend time in. Would highly recommend this property for a family vacation to Boyne! Minutes away from Somerset Pointe Marina and an easy 5 min drive to town.
