The hosts were very responsive and friendly. The lake house was spacious and we would stay here again. It would be nice if there was firewood available for the pit. Buying from the gas station was expensive for wood. We plan on returning next year.

I would stay here again!

This roomy home provides amenities galore! Great sunrise/sunset views over the lake. And the wide shallow shoreline made it especially safe for the children to have endless play. Yes, could pay more attention to detail especially for us summer visitors i.e. a clean grill and deck floor. Although our visit was a summer vacation, I can envision it a great group ski trip stay! Thanks Karen:)

What a view!

Pros: -The best view we have ever had renting VRBO -One of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes -The communication was prompt -A five minute drive to town. -Easily slept 12 people -Lots of games -Bird seed so that you can enjoy the birds -Most of the beds were comfortable -Have most of what is needed in the kitchen -Dishwasher -As long as the outside temperature stays below 90° the house stays pretty comfortable -Plenty of towels -Family room and living room and dining area -Nice large gas grill connected to a gas line -Two basketball hooping the water Cons: -Wasn’t the cleanest -Lots of spiders but you are up north -The deck is slippery when when wet but I think it is because the desk needs to be power washed -The house is in need of repairs -The two twin mattresses were extremely uncomfortable -The well water was very rusty and eggy and went out for about 15 minutes* -Inside the fridge the condensation builds up and drains but they do keep two bowls in the back to collect water -No central air -There is a ‘junk’ spot partially fenced off near were the garbage cans are stored. It looks like a collection of odds and ends from a remodel or something. -King bed takes up most of the room and there are not night stands. *When the well went out we reached out to Karen and she let us know it could’ve been that too much water was ran and to wait about 10 minutes. The water pressure came back after about 15 minutes.

Great location

Pros: Super close to Boyne and Boyne City Spacious with two living areas Loved the assortment of games Large kitchen table Nice fireplace Kitchen appliances worked well, enough plates, etc. Rooms were warm, except bunk bed room Plenty of towels Cons: bathroom needs to be renovated (paint peeling off vanity, yellow stains on floor tile, very old shower) Some of the beds were uncomfortable with thin mattresses With a little work, this house would be great.

Location Location!

This was the perfect location for a long weekend of skiing at Boyne. The view from the cabin and wood burning fire places were a major plus. The house was clean and well stocked. We were comfortable with sleeping arrangements but the other furniture, mainly couches, could definitely use an upgrade.

A nice little getaway house. The location was great, the view from the deck was amazing and just a short drive to see the color changes in the leaves. The fireplace was great for a rainy day.
