About this property

Large, Private ski lodge minutes away from the entrance of Boyne Highlands & Nubs Nob! We are also only 1/2 mile away from all of the main snowmobile trails in the area and have room to park a snowmobile trailer in our driveway! Our property is surrounded with all of the best golf courses, wineries, & beaches in the area. Everything is literally within a 2-5 mile radius.

Our Lodge offers a very spacious floor plan that is great for 4-5 families. The entire Lodge (including the outdoor hot tub) comes with a view of Boyne Highlands! There is also a winery right next door that offers $10 unlimited wine tastings! The details are endless throughout this Lodge including a kid’s loft area and adult game room (with pool table and bar) in the lower level. Not to mention a sledding hill for kids in the front yard.

There are 5 bedrooms & 5 bathrooms so that each family has there own space when needed, but plenty of common areas to gather in as a group to have a memorable time. We have gone over the top on decorating it to make you feel like you are staying in a house straight out of Instagram and not one of your relatives left over spaces. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook large meals including a full spice cabinet and coffee bar. We are not at the property, but available at all times if you need help or a good recommendation for something to do in the area.

Great place for a family reunion

We had a cousins reunion with family coming from Texas and the east coast. Lots of space to gather on the main floor, downstairs, and on the deck. Location is nicely secluded in the woods off the highway. Just a short drive to Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

Relaxing retreat

Beautiful property

This is a beautiful and private property. Great location close to Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and a short drive to Mackinaw. The property was great for our group of 16. The play room was a huge hit for our kids. The rooms are nicely laid out. We had four families together and each had their full bath.

Great Extended Ski Weekend

My family and I had a great extended ski weekend. We skied The Highlands and Nobs Nob. The lodge is just a few minutes from both resorts - super convenient! Plus, it is a very short drive to Harbor Springs and Petoskey. And the accommodations at the lodge are top-notch! Amazing living room, great kitchen, super fun game room, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. We will definitely be coming back!!

Perfect home for a big group ski weekend!

The home is beautiful and well-appointed. Our group of 16 (four families) had plenty of room to sleep and hang out. The kitchen is well-stocked, and we cooked for three nights during our stay. The pool table and hot tub were big hits with adults and teens alike, but the best feature was that each family had a bedroom/bathroom! Also, I can't forget to mention that the home is SUPER close to Nub's Nob and Boyne Highlands! The snow was not great during our stay so it was a relief that we had such a nice home to spend time in. Sarah was very attentive when we accidentally blew a fuse in the kitchen and she helped us locate the fuse box right away. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us. We hope to stay again in the future!

Lots of fun!

We're a family of skiers. The location of the property was excellent. We had 17 children and grandchildren. The house was large enough for our group - particularly in seating, whether for meals or entertainment. The kitchen was also very well stocked. Bedding and towels, blankets, etc. were upscale. We had lots of fun!

Perfect Staff Retreat

The home is gorgeous and well appointed! The host Sarah provided great communication and provided so many of the little things you forget like baggies, trash bags, etc. We enjoyed the deck, grilling, and lots of hot tub time. The game room in the basement was also a big hit with the people of our group. We’d love to come back and highly recommend this property. The best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at!

We brought entire family, 13 adults/5 children, to celebrate mothers 80th bday. The property was gorgeous, conveniently located between Habor Springs and Petosky. We loved the privacy, the trees, the deer, and outside firepit to make s'mores. The amenities were wonderful including the hot tub, pool table, and the wonderful play area for kids which was an absolute bonus (Not many have such a well stocked play area for little ones). Loved the atmosphere of the cabin, very warm and cozy. Plenty of room to gather for such a large group, including playing pool/foozball downstairs, cards/board games at large wooden kitchen table, and many deep conversations on comfortable couches. The kitchen was large & included everything needed to cook meals for large groups. A few things need to be fixed, but when mentioned to the property owner, she already had scheduled to get fixed. The ice maker wasn't working because the vendor installed the new refrigerator incorrectly. The property owner offered to pay for our ice for the inconvenience. Amazing!!! Also missing bottom slate of one of the pac-n-plays, which she volunteered to pay for a replacement if we bought one. Very responsive and so appreciated. Only complaint is bedroom with 2 queen beds has only 1 exit: the door, no windows (Fire concern for us). Also this room had limited options for clothing. Not ideal. All other bedrooms were very large with huge closets. All beds were comfortable. Loved our stay!

Great Stay

We had a great stay at the cabin. The people before us broke the fridge and the owners were open and up front about it, let us use their personal fridge in the garage, and offered to buy us pizza for the inconvenience. The cabin was bigger than we needed but the space was great. The loft area that was set up with toys was great for the 12,10, 4,3 and 1 yr old that we brought. Its very private with no neighbors and a great hot tub! A quick drive into a great downtown as well as 30 min to the bridge. They have a highchair, pack and play as well as kids plates, cups and silverware which really helped us out. Overall it was a great stay and the host was very accommodating answering text about other random questions we had.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Jorkasky

My husband and I have 2 girls and we love to travel all over with other large families. We live in Traverse City, MI, but overtime have become absolutely obsessed with the Harbor Springs and Petoskey area which prompted us to find a 2nd place in this area. Our Lodge was designed with families in mind. We have taken our favorite bits and pieces from every vacation rental we have stayed at over the years and combined them into ours. It is all in the details and we hope you all appreciate them during your stay in fall in love with Northern MI like we did! Cheers my friends!

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located to everything. Literally less then 2 minutes away to the entrance to both Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob for both ski season and golf. All of the main rooms in our Lodge (including the outdoor hot tub) has a view of the main run at Boyne Highlands. It is magical at night when they turn the lights on! In the winter, our front yard turns into a sledding hill for the kids, which is an absolute blast! In the summer, we have an outdoor fire pit with firewood provided, lots of yard games, tranquil outdoor dining spaces, and lots of room for your entire group to spread out.
We are then only 5 minutes away from downtown Harbor Springs and some of the best shopping and restaurants you could ask for. We are less then 15 minutes away from Petoskey and all the amenities that you could need while on vacation to enjoy. Then right next door to us is a winery that offers $10 unlimited tastings. You can literally walk through the woods from the Lodge to the winery, it doesn't get much better then that!

What makes this property unique

*The location is hard to beat and so private!
*Outdoor hot tub that overlooks Boyne Highlands
*Sledding hill for kids
*Yard games including Corn Hold, Ladder Toss, Jenga, Glow-N-The-Dark Yard Darts
*Bonfire pit with seating for 8 and fire wood provided
*Outdoor dining table for 6 with outdoor dishes
*Additional outdoor seating on the front porch & back patio deck
*Spacious kitchen, dining room, & living room floor plan that lets everyone be in the same room together during meals
*Kid's loft area that provides lots of entertainment to keep them busy during down times
*Smart TVS throughout the house and bedrooms that have Netflix, Disney +, Hulu
*Sonos sound system throughout the house so the vibe is always on point
*Lower level that has all of the adult games that you could ask for including pool table, foosball, bar with all the glassware, poker chips, and TV lounge area
*Spacious bedrooms that are large enough to host families with kids, including extra beds in areas in case needed (the kid's loft area has a full queen pull-out sleeper)
*3 of the bedrooms also have their own private en suite bathrooms attached to them, the other 2 bedrooms have bathrooms to use as well, just not private
*Decorated to create a warm out-west ski Lodge feel
*Extra details like spices, cooking oil, microwave popcorn, instant oatmeal, hot chocolate, GOOD COFFEE! are all provided.
*Good drinking glassware is provided, because let's face it, nobody likes to have a good glass of wine out of a crappy hotel wine glass! Those little details matter. I designed this place as if it were my own house and did not cheap out on things that make a difference.
*This Lodge was designed and decorated to not only provide a unique spacious place for your group, but also a feeling. We want you (and every age group of your family) to leave feeling like you had one of the best weekends of the year!
