Family ski weekend

We all (13!) had a great time skiing, snowboarding, hiking and putting two jigsaw puzzles together over 3 days. And I had almost instant responses both when I needed to change the thermostat and had a departure question. I would recommend this home....

Wonderful House for Large Groups

We had our wedding in the area and needed a place for all of our wedding party and family to stay. Hosts had the place is in nice neat order and everything was perfect. The main level was perfectly designed to host our large group and hang out. Central to all the events we had for our stay. Would love to hopefully stay again! *My only note is that the bunks are not in a bedroom. Difficult to explain but it is the landing where the downstairs is and goes to the rest of the rooms. I had 4 single ladies staying in the bunks and was hoping to provide them with as much privacy as possible.

Home Sweet Home is the perfect name!

A visit with family where memories are made is priceless! Our family runs from 4-72 age wise and this property worked great for everyone. Stocked better than any other we have ever rented, they thought of everything! Super clean, a short walk to the lake and short drive to Boyne City and Petosky. We had a blast, enjoyed smores by the fire and games on the porch. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you for some wonderful memories.

Family Getaway

We had 12 people staying here and it was the perfect spot to celebrate a 60th anniversary! Lots of room to spread out and bathrooms in every room a plus. We made several meals in the kitchen and on the grill. Location great for trips to Mackinac Island, Traverse city, wineries , and biking the trails near Petoskey. Everything was perfect!

Close to great golf

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. Loved the wrap around deck. Had 16 guys up for an annual golf trip. There are some beautiful courses in the area. Food and a couple of downtown areas aren't too far away. We spent most of our time off the course at the house sitting by the fire and playing cards on the deck.

Great Family Trip!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is perfect for extended family to come and stay together. There is plenty of space for 4 couples and their kids. The bunk room wasn’t private(no door) which concerned me at first but the kids slept just fine. I would most definitely go back!

The rental is very cozy, warm and clean. We had everything we needed to enjoy a few days of skiing as well as game playing, meal making, etc. We've done a lot of research for our group and this place keeps coming up as the best for us!

50th Anniversary Celebration

Perfect getaway!

The property was perfect! We had 13 of us total and it was the perfect amount of space for all of us to feel very comfortable. Clean space, well supplied kitchen, lots of room to hangout inside/outdoors! We unfortunately got rained in one day, but the property has a beautiful outdoor covered deck that was perfect for us to hang outside. Would highly recommend!

Great property and location

Family designed home worked great for the four families in our extended family; each couple had their own bedroom with adjoining bathroom, and the five grandkids used the bunch room; the kitchen worked well as we cooked most of our meals there; duel dining areas as well as the seating area accommodated our needs; our hosts responded to our questions promptly; we had a great stay and would definitely check the availability of this property first if we decide to vacation in the area again

Felt like home!✨

This house was awesome... very clean, well kept, & a lot of nice touches added to make you comfortable. It felt like a home away from home! It was 9 of us, & everyone loved everything about the home. We were all very comfortable, with room to spare. Will definitely be staying again!

Michigan Stay

Our stay was beautiful! Each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom which was very nice. In addition, the location is great. It is near a grocery store, which was convenient. Also it felt secluded with all of the beautiful trees. The fire pit was also a plus! I would definitely recommend this place.
