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!

The home was very clean, well equipped and comfortable, overall. The listing states the property sleeps 6 while there are two queen beds and a couch which didn't seem to be a sofa bed; we made do with one adult on the couch. The outdoor deck with cushioned furniture and firepit table provided a great space to relax and visit as a group. The location was quite private and close to Boyne City and surrounding attractions.

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.
