Perfect Family Space with Great Access

Stayed with some family members and this place was perfect! Really enjoyed the layout and look of the space and backyard was very pretty with creek running through. Great access to Boyne Mountain and Boyne City, and Petoskey is also very accessible with just a slightly longer drive. Communication with property manager was great and check-in was no problem. Would definitely stay again!

Family Getaway

We were very happy with our stay at Creekside Cottage. The house was very clean, kitchen well-appointed, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We had a rainy day, which could be a bit of a disaster with 5 boys 12 and under. The living room was very comfortable for a movie marathon on streaming services. We will definitely be looking for this property again on future vacations!

THE BEST

Superb!! Out of all the properties we have rented in Michigan and Wisconsin, this one was the best!! The remodeling gave the home such a great feel!! The property was huge and wooded with so much space for outdoor fun!! The location was great, and communication with Helena was very prompt!! We will be back again!!

Hundred-Acre Cottage!

Our family of 4 usually vacations at my in-laws’ cottage, but this summer it was under construction and unavailable. We decided to rent Helena’s cottage since it was near our usual spot…I’m so glad we did! It had all of the comforts of home, alongside a beautiful wooded setting. We referred to it all week long as “the Hundred-Acre cottage” because it was quiet and beautiful, and we often saw deer/bunnies/even cats along the creek. It was so peaceful to eat outside, watch our kids play and nature watch, and of course do cozy campfires. Our kids loved it! As a mom, I really appreciated that the kitchen was fully stocked (it even has a crockpot and blender!), the laundry was on-site, and there was lots of extra blankets and pillows for whoever needed something. The bunk bed room also has a pull-out trundle bed, and our kids loved taking turns on it throughout the week. Helena was a great host and very prompt with communicating. We would definitely return!

A great stay in Northern Michigan!

We had a great time staying at this property for 5 nights. We had a mixed group of grandparents, adults, younger children, and a baby. Th kitchen was well supplied with items for cooking. The bedrooms were nicely arranged and the beds were comfortable ( the master bed was a king with a memory foam mattress that was a little firm for my wife’s preference but great for me). The yard was large enough to keep the 4 and 6 year old engaged. The creek on the property was pleasant and seemed safe enough until we had a major rainfall, turning it into a torrent that caused me some concerns for the kids playing near it. Location was good: near Boyne City but not in it. traverse City area and Mackinaw are both slightly over an hour away. Petoskey and Charlevoix are closer. Boyne Mountina is 10-15 minutes from here so we also visited the Skybridge. The nearby Whiting County Park has a great swimming beach for all. Never was overly crowded, water shallow enough for the kids to play safely, beach sandy and large enough for sand castles. Quibbles with the listing: -The back deck does not have a gas grill; it is a gas griddle so burgers are OK but grilling chicken or steaks is not really an option. -TV said to have cable service, which we could never get to work for either local or major network channels. The Samsung streaming service works but the stream was a little glitchy at times.Other major streaming services are available if you use your login credentials. -Buy firewood for fire pii

Simple and Cozy

This home was perfect for our family, my husband, our four young children and their grandparents were spending time exploring Michigan. This home was perfect for us, from the open floor plan to the comfortable bedrooms, reclining sofas and INCREDIBLY clean!! Our host was great and if we ever make it back through the area we hope to be able to stay here again! Thank you again for the fantastic accommodations!
