We had a great stay. Our visit was in the winter season and was a convenient place to stay while skiing. This place is in the middle of the woods. We had a lot of snow and it was beautiful. The facilities were more than adequate and we had a very comfortable stay.

Not worth the price being charged. I feel like the pictures of the place definitely pass it off as something nicer than it actually was. The heat BARELY worked. Don't go here in the winter. The host was attentive and tried to help make it warmer, but the radiators and spare heaters they have just aren't strong enough. The windows in the main bedroom were not sealed well or just old. You can see the condensation building between the windows. AND we couldn't even shower because the water smells SO horrendous. I have been around well water in my life but this is the most egg smelling water I've ever experienced. We tried flushing the water for 10 min and it still didn't work. To the point of gagging. Never mind the water didn't get hot in the downstairs shower even after 5 minutes of running it. To top it all off - you get charged a cleaning fee but you have to run the dishwasher and take the trash out before you leave. I don't know about Vrbos anymore. I might go back to hotels.

Doug was a good host and keep us informed throughout the stay and always checking in. One thing to be aware of if renting. HOT HOT HOT. if you’re planning on going when it’s in the 80tys and up, plan on being miserable. There was 1 bedroom AC UNIT that keep that room cool. All other areas were 90ty plus degrees. There are fans but there’s no escaping the heat. I recommend more AC units, or room darking shades or window film. This would reduce the heat by 10/15 degrees. Doug said he’d pass that info along.

Great host
Doug was super responsive, I had a few questions throughout the stay and he always responded promptly. The place is cozy and close to places we planed to go during the long weekend. For people who drives EV, there’s a Meijer near by with super charging stations that was a big plus and actually must for us :)

Great place to stay
Overall it was a really good stay. However, one day due to the outside weather, our rooms were too hot to stay. We utilized all the portable fans provided but it took 4-5 hours to get to 70F. Otherthan that overall great experience.

Quaint place on a quiet lake
We stayed at this quaint property for a mother/daughter getaway. The decor was fun. Doug was very responsive to my questions. Apple Maps won’t locate this cabin but Google maps does and Doug sent good instructions about that. We used the table on the deck a lot because we had six adults and two babies which was a bit much for the <900 sqft space.

Great condo!
Perfect place for our group of 7 while we visited Boyne. The condo was welcoming, clean, and cutely decorated. The kids in our group loved playing the PS2 games and board games provided and were really excited about the triple bunk. The owner was very responsive and accommodating to our traveling times. We came right after a snow storm and they had the snow cleared promptly. Gaylord’s main shopping area was a short drive. Highly recommend!
