Boyne City Castle

This home was absolutely wonderful for our family. The kids spent hours in the backyard fishing, kayaking, yard games. We walked everywhere in town, cute shops and many good eating establishments. I would totally recommend this home for multigenerational families. Thanks Mary Ann!

Sibling vacation

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful property! There is just one thing that I would like to mention, and that is that one of the upstairs bathrooms needs attention. The one with the pedestal sink/claw-foot tub. Plumbing needs work on both. The sink was unstable and the plumbing leaks for the tub. We still however, had a wonderful time.

Loud Street

The backyard is beautiful and we loved using the kayaks, playground equipment, and fire pit. However, if you are looking for a serene setting, this is not it. There is a utility power plant on the other side of the river with bright lights at night and the noise off of Main Street is very loud. There is no privacy from either side of the neighbors. The house was okay. The back doors off of the master bedroom are very hard to lock. The hot water in the clawfoot was not working until my husband realized the valve was shut off due to a constant leak. There were no blinds or curtains in one of the bathrooms. And the soap dispenser in every bathroom was only filled half way. We are in a pandemic and to cheap out and only fill the soap half way is ridiculous to me. The kitchen is very dated and made cooking difficult. It is separate from the rest of the house and closed off. If you are a lover of older homes and don't mind the noise of the Main Street and lack of privacy, this would be a good house for you, but it wasn't our cup of tea.

Great location and great host!

We stayed here for a family reunion and it was great! Very relaxing to sit around the firepit and make smores. The house was very well stocked with all of the necessities. The beds were very comfortable. There were even toys for the kids to play with! Will definitely book again! Our host was very responsive when we had a question!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ann Lippe

My husband and I recently purchased this historic home in Boyne City. We instantly feel in love and knew that we were going to return it to it's true potential. We know that once you stay in this spacious and charming home you will return time and time again.

Why they chose this property

The Beardsley home offers the best of both worlds. Steps away from all the amazing restaurants/boutique shopping that Boyne City has to offer you will not miss any of the activities. Enter the back yard and enjoy the serene city of the Boyne River. Take time to fish or kayak and escape from the hustle and bustle.
