This has now become our go-to place to stay in Boyne. Our home away from home always greets us with clean, cozy and very comfortable accommodations that meet our needs just right. Looking forward to next time!
The property manager was available, the house was clean and everything was well stocked. I loved the seating area in the back yard. I thought the pet cleaning fee was high and didn’t see it at time of booking. The picture seems to show the porch is in the backyard but it is really on the side of the house.

We had a great time staying here. It was clean, modern and cozy. Perfect for our family of four. Close enough to the downtown area, but also nice and quiet. Pet friendly too, our dog loved joining us on our trip!
Beautiful property, close walk to everything in town, comfortable beds, wonderful hosts, and very friendly/respectful of my service dog!! We would definitely stay here again!
Everything about this property was just as described. Excellent host and beatiful property.

Right On
We had a wonderful stay at the Blue Heron.
Very clean, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped, we immediately felt comfortable cozy and secure.
We loved the king bed in the master bedroom and enjoyed the comforting electric fireplaces’ features. Communication with the host was excellent.
Glad you enjoyed your time in Boyne City and the trails around the town. Hope you were able to check out the one that goes from Boyne City to Boyne Mountain, a newly paved trail great for bikes and walking!

Lovely
We really enjoyed our time at Blue Heron. The backyard was fully fenced and it gave us peace of mind while we had our pup there. We would gladly come back and hope to soon!
Was a great location, close to town. The home was clean, modern and well maintained. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again if the opportunity arose.

Very nice
It was very nice and well equipped. The only issue we had was the fan in the master bathroom did not work. Very nice attention to detail!
I took my 3 adult daughters for the holiday weekend. The cabin/house was in a great location/easy access to Boyne City and all the little shops and restaurants. Beds were comfortable. Owner was very responsive to all of my questions.
Blue Heron is comfortable and beautifully decorated. There is plenty of space. Well equipped kitchen.
Fenced back yard was great for our 2 dogs.
Great place to stay and we will again. Highly recommend!!
We stay in VRBO's a lot; this was one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. Brand new everything, newly remodeled, extremely clean, very comfortable beds/bedding, great to bring dogs as it is fenced in. We rated this 5 stars across the board and tend to be a bit on the picky side so this says a lot! Fantastic rental - we hope to be back soon!

We live locally and are available if needed in person. Otherwise reach out via text, call or the app. We hope you have a wonderful time in Boyne
Why they chose this property
This home is on a quiet street yet walkable to town, the water, groceries, and more. We love the large fenced back yard, firepit and covered porch- great for summer time dining from the grill.
What makes this property unique
We have 2 bedrooms both with attached baths. This is a great spot for a family with the 4 twin beds and master king bed. The living room is large enough for all to gather and the table has extentions too.
