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!

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.
This home was clean, close to the downtown area and had a very welcoming feel. I would stay again and recommend it to others.

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!
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.
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!
Hope to host you again with Boyneland Vacation Rentals
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.
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!
Clean and nicely furnished. Nice fenced in backyard. Recommend staying here. Wish they would have supplied coffee , that there were more than 2 washcloths per bathroom and the grass hadn’t been mowed.

Glad you enjoyed the home.
Coffee is located in the cupboard just above the machine. We provide filters, two starter packs of Schuil coffee sourced from Grand Rapids, tea, and hot chocolate.
As for towels we provide a set of towels for each guest up to 6 for the home. I believe your reservation was for 4. If guests ask, we can often run over more during a longer stay or there is a new washer and dryer along with laundry soap provided for your use.
As for the grass I understand your concern. I had messaged you about our troubles with our contractor and again apologize for the length.
All in all thank you for caring for the home and leaving it in good condition.
We were only in town for one night for a concert at the nearby casino. We were 3 adults, one couple and one single. It gave us each our own space with baths and a common area to hang out together. It was perfect and we would definitely stay here again.

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.
