Perfect location, felt like home

It is hard to *not* feel right at home at the Happy Place! It had everything we needed and was very comfortable and one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. Perfect size for our family of five. Of note that we especially appreciated was the large kitchen garbage bin (most places we stay in are on the small side), tons of hooks in bedrooms/bathrooms to hang coats towels etc, comfortable beds, water bottles in the kitchen (came in handy when one of our kids realized she forgot hers at home), air purifiers in every bedroom (something we are used to at home and made for great white noise), plenty of plates/bowls/silverware, and all of the games. There is also ping pong, ladder ball, and a basketball game in the basement that was a nice surprise. The Happy Place felt private yet was a short drive to town/Boyne Mtn. We enjoyed snow tubing, cross country skiing, the Sky Bridge, Avalanche Bay, wine & cider tasting, and shopping in downtown Petoskey. This would be an awesome area to visit in the summer too. The only thing I might add to improve on the place would be blinds in the master bathroom. We would 100% return again!

Great location and space

Stayed for a week with my husband and teenage son, and the house was a perfect fit for the 3 of us. The couch and beds were comfy; the kitchen was a great size for cooking for the week. Appreciated the grill, games and back patio. Wonderful location - quick drives into the city or Young State Park. Chris was a responsive host.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Sell

Lake Charlevoix in Boyne City has been our happy place forever. Since 2009 we've been visiting every summer, first camping, then via travel trailer, then renting a cottage. We finally decided to make our dreams a reality and buy our own home in Northern Michigan so that we can share our Happy Place with others.

Why they chose this property

CITY/COUNTRY BALANCE: Our home is located in Boyne City, a minute drive to downtown, but nestled in a quiet remote part of town across the street from wooded Rotary Park. The ranch-style floor plan makes this home accessible for all ages, and the new hot hub is perfect for cool nights after skiing all day at nearby Boyne Mountain.

What makes this property unique

AMAZING LOCATION: Our Happy Place is just east of downtown Boyne City, located in the 'Happy Triangle' of Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne City. In addition to shopping in downtown Boyne or hiking/sledding at the community's Avalanche Preserve, this home is positioned for many incredible day trips. Young State Park at Lake Charlevoix is 6 minutes away. Boyne Falls and Boyne Mountain are less than 10 minutes away. Walloon Lake and the Village of Walloon is 9 minutes away. Petoskey is 20 minutes away. Charlevoix is 25 minutes away. The charming town of Harbor Springs and Pond Hill Farm is less than 45 minutes. Head north an hour to get to the Mackinac Bridge, or head south 1 hr 15 minutes for endless fun at world-renowned Traverse City.
